After a suspicous Quartermaster warns them not to, Max, Neil, and Nikki venture out to the mysterious Spooky Island to hunt for ghosts, but the kids get more than they bargained for.
Tropes:
- Bait-and-Switch: When the Quartermaster warns the kids to stay away from Spooky Island.Quartermaster: ...and aliens kidnap any trespassers, and probe their tender-Gwen: O-o-kay! We get it! Don't we, kids?Quartermaster: Anuses. I was gonna say anuses.
- Brain Bleach: The sight of Quartermaster's sex dungeon full of old people leaves Max looking pretty traumatized.
- Continuity Nod: The squirrel that bursts out of Space Kid's suit is the same eyepatch-wearing squirrel who showed up in "Mascot" when the Quartermaster killed its king. It seems to be leading a revolution to overthrow him.
- Dead All Along: Jasper vanishes at the end of the episode.
- Dirty Old Man: Turns out Spooky Island is used by Quartermaster to host kinky orgies with other elderly people.
- Everyone Has Standards:
- Neil might be a man of science, but as soon as he sees the experiments in the lab he says he wants nothing to do with anything related to Mad Science.Neil: I am not about this shit Nikki! Science has limits!
- All of Nikki's energetic sense of adventure goes out the window when she sees the torture dungeon.
- Neil might be a man of science, but as soon as he sees the experiments in the lab he says he wants nothing to do with anything related to Mad Science.
- Foreshadowing: Lots of clues point to Jasper being a ghost. He wears clothes from the nineties, talks in dated slang, makes references to Pogs and the Harlem Globetrotters, and doesn't cast a shadow.
- Shout-Out: One of the experiments in Spooky Island's lab is a container with two white genetically altered mice inside, labeled "TAKE A CARTOON LITERALLY #305". Though one has a literal pinky finger stitched on in place of a head, and the other has a grotesquely enlarged brain that writes "KILL ME" on the wall.
- Screams Like a Little Girl: Max doesn't believe in the paranormal, he refuses to believe in ghosts but the Quartermaster's creepy sex dungeon proves too much even for him.
- Visual Pun: One of the mice in "TAKE A CARTOON LITERALLY #305" has a pinky finger stitched on where the head should be.
