Go To


    open/close all folders 

    Season One 
The Unnatural
  • It doesn't matter if Molly is that bad or Tammy Myers is that good, scoring 17 runs within a few minutes is certainly impressive.
  • Libby finally manages to catch a ball (while losing a tooth).

Not So Honest Abe

  • Scratch convincing Abraham Lincoln himself to help Molly with her presentation, in song form.

Mazel Tov, Libby!

  • One of Andrea's videos reached 1.5 million views in only one hour.

Monumental Disaster

  • Sally Tugbottom's ghost, sent out by Scratch, hogtying her Lazy Bum of a brother, stopping him from killing Molly.

Talent Show

  • Andrea's performance is one big iconic Davenport's commercial. The audience is thrilled, Scratch declares himself a Fandrea.
  • Libby manages to salvage her performance in the talent show by turning her singing act into an impressive slam poetry act. The audience gives her standing ovations.

Saving Christmas

  • When Mr. Davenport refuses to fund the Snowflake Festival and her plan to cause a Christmas Carol revelation in him fails Molly is broken at the thought that Christmas is ruined for Brighton. Scratch loses it at Davenport sending Molly into a Heroic BSoD on Christmas of all days and resolves to deal with that injustice personally.
    • The exchange when Scratch appears to the man.
      Mr. Davenport: (dismissively) Which ghost are you?
      Scratch: (full Nightmare Face running) I'm the Ghost of I'm gonna scare the Christmas spirit into your lousy carcass!
    • Scratch drags Davenport all over the town in his efforts, including making him hit a water tower several times, to no avail but finally gets through when the man sees how upset Andrea is. Scratch even hits him with an Ironic Echo to twist the knife on that one.

Game Night

  • Sharon beating Scratch at Mega City, despite his blatant cheating. Turns out she was a six-time champion at the game back in the 90s, and only let her family win all those other times out of fairness.

Out of House and Home

  • He complains the whole time, but Scratch takes on all the household chores, while also taking care of Pete. He runs himself ragged, but he still ends up keeping everything clean and running smoothly. They're not lying when they say they couldn't have done it without him.

Home is Where the Haunt Is

  • Scratch manages to scare off nearly every customer for his now-evicted house for a whole month to try and make the house unsellable so the McGees can move back in.
    • Credit should go to the realtor for not letting Scratch intimidate her and actually finding customers who want to live in a haunted house. You would think she'd quit by that point but no...

Molly vs. the Ghost World

  • Molly becoming a wraith is itself awesome. She attempts to jump into Geoff's portal to the ghost world only to instead separate her spirit from her body. This works in her favor as it means she can go to the ghost world.
  • As a spirit, Molly's positive energy is so great that just a touch of something in the ghost world spreads joy.
  • Geoff taking on the Sobgoblins to buy Molly time to save Scratch.
  • Molly's aura of positivity is so powerful, it frees all the ghosts from the Flow of Failed Phantoms and shatters it, freeing everyone. And next? Molly utterly disintegrates the Chairman. As Molly put it, she literally killed him with kindness!
    • Don't forget the absolutely EPIC speech Molly gives while her positivity frees all the ghosts from the Flow of Failed Phantoms.
      Molly: (laughs) Oh, you guys made a big mistake. You forgot: everything I touch turns to JOY!
      Ghost from first episode: I'm FREE! Woohoo!
      Molly: And that includes your stupid Flow of Failed Phantoms. Light is more powerful than darkness. Hope is more powerful than fear. Love is more powerful than hate. And joy? Joy is way more powerful than misery will ever be. Don't tell me that being friends with a ghost is wrong. You're wrong! Boop.
  • When Molly declares that she's taking Scratch back to the living world with her, she takes on an angry glow and asks if the Council has a problem with it. After what she did to the Chairman, the Council is quickly cowed and lets her take him home.

    Season Two 
The New Para-Normal
  • Scratch successfully posing as the Chairman and scaring the Frightmares back to the ghost world.
  • June Chen openly and outright states that she is autistic and that this can impact the way she behaves and interacts with the world, while also apologizing for potentially unintentionally offending Molly; this is shown to just be part of who she and not a negative trait, which is very needed representation.

Book Marks The Sprite

  • Libby defeating the Book Sprite, which changes form and attitude based on what books it eats, by feeding it her personal journal, turning it into a copy of her who she is then able to get on side with the same worries that haunt Libby.

Frightmares On Main Street

  • Scratch shows that he's really starting to come into his own as a Chairman, not just by taking his position a bit more seriously (knowing immediately that he's the one who has to banish them, despite wanting to take a snack break first), but by caring more about his fellow ghosts (inviting as many of them as he can to have a fun time scaring the patrons of Molly's house of horrors).
  • Molly's scathing "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Ollie, telling him that he hates ghosts despite not really knowing what or who they are. This is followed by an equally powerful speech that cements their friendship as well as Ollie's Heel–Face Turn.
    Ollie: (grabs Scratch by his hair) I'm not letting him go! Not until I figure out what these ghosts are up to!
    Molly: (pulls on Scratch's arm) I thought you were an Engoodifier, but you're… you're an Enbadifier!
    Ollie: (gasps) No I'm not! Ghosts are the enbadifiers! They attacked my dad!
    Scratch: (strained) Any chance this argument could be a little less painful for me?
    Molly: Oh, one ghost did a bad thing, and now you're gonna take it out on all of them?!
    Scratch: Yeah, I didn't scare your dad! If it makes you feel any better, I barely did my job scaring anyone!
    Molly: You've never talked to a ghost, or hung out with a ghost, or hugged a ghost! It's like hugging a giant marshmallow who can give you a hug right back! But you've clearly never been hugged by a giant marshmallow, have you, Ollie Chen?! 'Cause the fact is, YOU KNOW NOTHING. ABOUT. REAL. GHOSTS!

Like Father Like Libby

  • Libby's father, despite outwardly loving Libby, was never there for her and puts his own agenda over her emotions (only inviting her to see him because his book tour put him nearby). Libby's mother, however, has been there for her daughter her whole life, successfully raising Libby to be an intelligent and kind young woman while running an independent business all on her own. What's more, despite her own animosity towards her ex, she never made Libby hate her father but let her think positively of him. That's next-level awesome.

Jinx!
