Written & storyboarded by Danny Cragg & Charmaine Verhagen

Craig, Kelsey and JP run afoul of some no-good teenage witches and are cursed! Lousy teenagers!


Tropes:

  • Goth Girls Know Magic: The gang run into two goth girls, and assume they're witches. One of them decides to go with it and tells them they're cursed.
  • Heel Realization: The girls have one when Craig risks his life to keep them from getting busted, saying he just wants to undo the curse. They then "undo" it and offer a seal of protection.
  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: It's unclear if the girls actually have magic unknowingly and cursed them, or if this was a Clap Your Hands If You Believe situation. The amount of bad luck is ridiculous, as the three point out.
  • Shrunk in the Wash: Jessica tries to help with the family's laundry, which ends up shrinking Craig's pants. He can barely get them on and they end up splitting.
  • Superstition Episode: A girl Kelsey, Craig, and J.P. mistake for a witch tells them they're cursed, which they take very seriously and blame every following incident of bad luck on.
  • Tarot Troubles: Tabitha does a tarot reading and pulls an upright The Lovers (a relationship and the tempting choices in it), an Upright Three of Swords (heartbreak from a relationship breaking), and an Upright Death (the ending of one phase in life for the fruitful beginning of another). She tears them up in frustration.
  • Troll: One of the girls convinces the trio that they are witches and tells them they are now cursed for her own amusement.
  • Weaksauce Weakness: Subverted; the trio reads that witches' weaknesses are rock salt and water. The salt does nothing to the girls, and the water only soaks them.
  • Wrong Genre Savvy: The trio does some research on witches, learning from books and manga that witches will melt when sprayed with water and can be trapped by rock salt. These aren't real witches, however.
