Nightmare Fuel / Gabby Duran & the Unsittables

Go To

With a bunch of aliens some were bound to give you nightmares.

ALL SPOILERS ARE UNMARKED

General

  • While most of the aliens we see are nice and friendly, some are a little off putting though compared to some other alien related shows and films it’s not too bad.

Season 1

So your Gor-Monite Child Is Going To Explode

  • While he is nice Jeremy's true form is kinda disturbing especially the razor sharp teeth that go back so far.
  • Swift knocks Gabby out, ties her to a chair, and leaves her at the mercy of The Orb (who almost kills her).
  • The fact that Gor-Monites can't drink soda without dying, imagine if one didn't know what they were drinking and exploded unexpectedly. Their only hope? Breath mints, and if they can’t get any, well that's it.
    • And the bubbling Jeremy's stomach does.
  • The school keeps a stuffed bird in their trophy case, and to get the breath mints Jeremy eats it to shape-shift.
    • Keep in mind he could’ve just eaten a feather than the whole thing, but there’s a chance he ate the thing whole.
  • The nightmarish invasion of the vulture Jeremy turns into.

Wesley And The Fischman

  • The episode isn’t that bad, but the fact that the kid of the week fears humans for eating fish.

Crybaby Duran

  • More of a tearjerker, but the fact that everyone in school brutally harasses Gabby after hearing she may have cried. Based on a rumor they don’t even know is true.
  • Skye and her family can read anyone's thoughts with the smallest amount of physical contact, your privacy isn’t safe around them.
  • Skye almost dies from an overdose of mind reading.
  • Gabby has to take the memories out of Skye to save her, but now she has to deal with the burden of knowing way too much.

Crushin' It

  • The child Gabby has to babysit is essentially a G-rated version of Predator.
  • Gabby becomes this for the boy she's crushing on. All her attempts to confess that she likes him result in him getting hurt. The next time Gabby sees him, he's in a wheelchair and screaming "Witch!" at the sight of her.

Olivia Gone Wild

  • After accidentally eating an alien candy, Olivia goes on a sugar rush that not even Gabby's rival can control. Things get scarier when she finds herself lost in a fun house and starts screaming, "Polkadot!" over and over again.

The Darkness

  • You think depression is bad? Swift's form of depression includes screaming like a banshee and melting into a puddle. And sometimes, they never come out of it.
    • Even worse is that Orb wants to simply throw his melted corpse into the trash!

Sky’s First Youth Overnight Sleeping Event

  • Sky's father threatens to erase all of Gabby's memories of Sky and take Sky back home if she is in danger again.

The Note

  • Gabby imagines what might happen if everyone found about the alien kids. Namely the government taking them all to a laboratory.

Tailoring Swift

  • The Mungos trick Gabby into babysitting their daughter, but what they really want is to kidnap Swift and make him into a stretchy, flexible suit.
    • The Mungos' appearances are creepy, with their black suits, sharp teeth and large sunglasses that hide their green eyes.

Enter the Dranis

  • Gabby thinks she's won a vacation, but it turns out to be a trap set up by Jeremy's sister Dranis who plans to use her as bait to lure Jeremy and Swift back to Gor'Monia and then vaporize Gabby's hometown once they're back.
    • After saving the day, Gabby, Jeremy, Swift and Wesley return home only to find Dina walking into the basement and see all the alien tech.

Season 2

Mom Wipe

  • After Dina finds out about the aliens, she is quick to try to call the police. Swift stuns her and warns Gabby that if they don't wipe her memory of the incident, there will be certain aliens who will do everything they can to protect their families, even potentially kill her.
