"The Haunting Hour" Season Four Quiz

Answer: Car

Sean is in the hospital to have surgery to get his tonsils removed, but he must stay overnight. His brother tells him the story of Martin and another boy. Martin was in the hospital to have his foot removed (it wasn't getting enough blood flow), but he didn't want the surgery. To avoid the surgery, he switched medical charts with the boy who was next to him. This causes the hospital staff to accidentally take the other boy to have his foot removed instead of Martin. The other boy repeatedly says "I'm not Martin!" None of the doctors listen to him and the wrong boy loses his foot. According to Sean's brother, that boy's ghost still roams the hospital looking to steal another boy's foot to replace the one he lost.

That night, Sean has a dream that he was taken back in time to 1952 and he was the unfortunate boy. In his dream, he repeatedly says "I'm not Martin" but nobody listens to him. Just as he's about to get to the part of his dream where he loses his foot, he wakes up. It turns out the dream was a side effect of the anesthesia. Sean successfully had the correct surgery (tonsil surgery) and he still has both of his feet. When he leaves the hospital and gets in his mom's car, his brother asks him if he was scared. He says "no" and then he says "I'm not Martin." Sean then hears someone say "not yet." He looks down to see a one-footed ghost stroking his leg and he screams.

Answer: Hear them

Bo and his mother visit his grandfather's house, which Bo's mother just inherited because his grandfather just died and she was his only child. Bo's mother evades his questions about his grandfather and she just tells him that they will pack up the house and sell it as quickly as possible. Bo's mother goes outside to look in the yard and she lets Bo look around the house. Bo finds a newspaper article about his grandfather and he finds his grandfather's glasses. The article says that Bo's grandfather was named Everett and he traveled all around the world when he was alive. The article shows him winning an award. Bo then puts on the glasses.

When Bo puts on the glasses, he sees and hears unusual things. He hears someone saying "Let me out! Please!" He sees a demon that wears his mother's dress and it says "don't let him out." He also sees red smoke behind a door. Bo tries to take off the glasses but they are stuck on his face. He tells his mother about all of these things. She initially dismisses him, but when she cannot take the glasses off his face, she realizes that he is telling the truth.

Bo is magically pulled into a room and the door magically locks. In the room, Bo meets his grandfather's ghost. His grandfather's ghost is now blind. Bo introduces himself as the man's grandson and tells him that they never met. Bo's grandfather says that he is not surprised that his mother would never introduce them. Bo asks him what he did. His grandfather confesses that he abandoned her because he wanted to travel the world and get rich. He says that thought that was more important than raising his daughter, but now he realizes he was a fool. He also says that he has now passed away and the demon will not let him move on. The grandfather shows Bo a picture of his mother when he was a child and the grandfather said that he always carried it with him everywhere he went.

Bo then notices that the demon wears the same dress as the dress that his mother wears in the picture. His grandfather says that the demon is Bo's mother's anger. When Bo's mother comes back, Bo slides the picture under the door and tells her that his grandfather carried it everywhere. He convinces her to forgive him for his mistakes. Bo's mother calms down and lets go of her anger. The demon disappears and out of the closet comes a little girl who is Bo's mother when she was a little girl. The girl takes the glasses off Bo and puts them on his grandfather. The grandfather says to her "I'm sorry" and they hug one final time. He then goes to heaven and the door unlocks. Bo and his mother hug each other. She says "I'm sorry you never met your grandfather." He says "but I did" and the episode ends.

Answer: The house

There is no falcon is this story. The only reason that's a possible answer is because the actress who plays Alice is Olivia Steele-Falconer. She has "Falcon" in her name. Her parents absolutely wanted her to move away from the house and it was even their decision to move the entire family out of it. Alice's mom says that it's because they cannot afford the house anymore. Alice tells her mom that the house will be sad. Her mom laughs and tells her that houses do not have feelings.

This house has feelings. It expresses them via a face in the girl's bedroom. The face is made up of a heating vent (the mouth) and two lights (the eyes). The vent resembles a smiling face when the house is happy. It turns upside down when the house is sad or angry.

The house is Alice's boyfriend and she is its girlfriend. As crazy as that sounds, it's even crazier when you realize that Alice is underage for the house. The house's age is never revealed, but it sounds like an old man when it talks. Alice's age is never revealed, but Steele-Falconer was 14 at the time so we can presume that Alice is 14, which would be underage. That fact never comes up in the episode.

Alice says a sad goodbye to the house before going outside. In the front yard, the parents thank the house for everything it did for them and say their goodbyes before driving away. In the new house, Alice constantly pines for the old house. She refuses to decorate her new bedroom. She spends a lot of time looking at a picture of her in front of the old house. She refuses to have one taken of her in front of the new house. No matter how much it annoys her parents, she can never stop thinking of the old house. At night, the old house says "come home, Alice."

The next morning, the father intends to drive Alice to school. Alice tells him that she is going to walk to school. The father reluctantly allows her to do this and he drives away. Alice does not go to school. She goes back to the old house.

Initially, the door to the old house is locked. When she tells the house that it's Alice who is trying to open the door, the door automatically opens. She goes to her old bedroom to see the house's smiling face and she talks with it. Then she goes to the living room. The house makes a fire in the fireplace and gives Alice some marshmallows and a coat hanger to roast them on.

In the living room, Alice discovers that the house listens to her and can communicate by blinking the lights once for "yes" and twice for "no." Alice toasts and eats the marshmallows and she tells the house about all the fun times she had when she was in the house.

The school notifies Alice's parents that she never showed up. They go to the old house to look for her. When they arrive in the front yard, the fireplace turns off and a door appears that leads to a closet so Alice can hide inside. The door disappears after they enter the house. Alice overhears them saying that they are looking for her and her mom will be devastated if they do not find her (her dad assures her mom that they will find her). The house did a great job of hiding her, and her parents leave after not finding her.

After they leave, Alice decides that it is time to move on. She thanks the house for everything that it did for them, but then she tells it that she's going to leave. She tells the house that while her parents were searching for her, she realized how much she loves them and misses them. The house locks all the doors and windows and it does not let her leave. The house's eyes (the lights in her bedroom) and their red wires extend and combine to form a snake head that snatches Alice as she screams for the last time.

After a new family moves into the house, the girl tells her mom that there is a face in her room. Her mom thinks that the girl is talking about the vent and the lights, but the girl says that's not what she means. The camera then shows us something on the wall that was not there earlier in the episode. It's Alice's face. Presumably, Alice was killed and her face is now a permanent part of the wall in the girl's bedroom. The house says "welcome", the girl runs out of the room and says "mom!", and the episode ends.

Answer: Mrs. Worthington

Molly consistently bullies Nate and the mother always takes Molly's side. Nate draws pictures of Mrs. Worthington, a babysitter who punished bad kids, and he draws her doing all kinds of horrible things to Molly. He talks to his drawings. When the mother goes away for the evening, she leaves Molly in charge. Molly and Nate object to that and request a babysitter, but the mom says that her money is limited and if she hires a babysitter, she won't have money for art pencils (which Nate really wants) or a prom dress (which Molly really wants). They reluctantly agree to their mom's deal, but when the mom leaves, Molly lets Nate know that she is not going to do anything her mom said to do. Molly will continue bullying her and forces him to tell the mom that she did what she was supposed to do. When Nate objects to the idea of lying to his mom, Molly ruins his art pencils until he relents. Nate looks at his drawings and says "I wish you were real." Then, somebody rings the doorbell.

Molly answers the door to find a middle-aged woman with a bag that has a "W" on it. The woman knows Molly's name and says that she was asked to be there. Molly accuses Nate of snitching to their mom about the art pencils (she thinks that he did that and that caused their mom to change her mind and hire a babysitter) and threatens to bully him worse than ever before if she does not get a prom dress. Nate recognizes the woman as Mrs. Worthington, the woman from his drawings.

Mrs. Worthington tells Nate that she is there to carry out all the punishments that he drew. He tells her not to do any of them. She decides that she will get to know Molly before she does any of her punishments. Nate hurries to Molly's room and tells Molly that Mrs. Worthington will punish her if she is not nice to Nate while Mrs. Worthington is here. Molly tells him to get out.

Mrs. Worthington makes chicken soup for Molly and Nate. Molly isn't very grateful but Nate says that it is delicious. Nate loudly says that he and Molly enjoy having dinnertime conversations. Molly rudely tells him to be quiet and insults him. Suddenly, her food turns into eyeballs. She is horrified and runs off. Mrs. Worthington is happy with her work. Nate is horrified that Mrs. Worthington did that (even though it was in one of his drawings).

Molly attempts to call her mom to complain about Mrs. Worthington. Mrs. Worthington intercepts the phone call and impersonates the mother's voice, and Molly is a little slow in realizing that. While talking on the phone, Mrs. Worthington works on a voodoo doll of Molly.

Molly comes downstairs to demand that Mrs. Worthington let her speak to her mother. Mrs. Worthington refuses to do that and a scorpion shows up on Molly's head. Molly runs off again. Nate continues to be horrified that Mrs. Worthington is actually doing the stuff that she did in his drawings. She continues to be proud.

Molly runs to the attic to find dozens of drawings of Mrs. Worthington doing terrible things to her, including the things that she already did to her in real life. Mrs. Worthington and Nate find her there. Mrs. Worthington has her voodoo doll ready and tells Molly to apologize for destroying Nate's art pencils. Molly refuses. Mrs. Worthington resorts to speed-knitting the doll, which results in Molly being tied up. When Molly insults Mrs. Worthington, Mrs. Worthington pulls a zipper over the doll's mouth which prevents Molly from speaking anymore.

Mrs. Worthington and Nate run downstairs. Nate tells Mrs. Worthington that Molly has suffered enough and he is sure that he is sorry. Mrs. Worthington tells Nate that Molly is sorry because she is being punished and she is not sorry for what she did. Mrs. Worthington decides to make a voodoo doll of the kids' mom and she asks Nate questions about his mom's eye color and hair color. Nate tells Mrs. Worthington that she cannot punish his mom because she did not do anything. Mrs. Worthington explains that's exactly why she is punishing his mom, because she let Molly get away with so much bullying.

Nate runs upstairs to untie Molly and unzip her mouth. Molly asks him why he drew all of those things. He explained it's because she was mean to him. Molly starts to regret her actions but never apologizes. When Mrs. Worthington walks in, Nate tells her that she is worse than Molly ever was and maybe she should be punished. Mrs. Worthington takes her voodoo doll of Nate and decides to cut his tongue. He then destroys all the drawing which kills Mrs. Worthington.

The next day, the mother sees Molly watching Nate make some more drawings and the two of them are happy. Molly says that Nate is an amazing artist. Their mother says that his drawings look so real, she feels like they could come alive. Molly doesn't want to hear about that ever again.

Answer: Zero

The ending of the original "Pumpkinhead" episode left several questions unanswered, which fans hoped would be answered in the sequel. These questions include "Will Dave be okay?" "Will Old Man Palmer ever be brought to justice?" These questions were indeed answered in the sequel, but not in the way that fans expected. We do not see Dave get returned to his mother or turned into a pumpkinhead. Instead, a neighbor boy named Miller tells the story of the farm to a new family that moves in. He tells them that Dave escaped and made it to the police station. He told the police "The pumpkinheads got them!" We do not find out any more about Dave after that (I like to assume the police took him home to his mother and he told her that the pumpkineads killed his siblings) and we do not find out if Old Man Palmer faced justice. Miller also tells the new family that Old Man Palmer passed away. The pumpkinheads miss him and they are out to claim new victims.

In this episode, a new family moves into what used to be Old Man Palmer's farm. The family does not have much money and they bought this place because it was extremely cheap (the father never bothered to find out why it was so cheap). The kids constantly complain about it. The mother constantly attempts to find ways to cheer them up, but it never works.

The kids notice some odd things, such as scratching noises on the walls and a scarecrow with a pumpkinhead in the house. They think that Miller is pulling a prank on them, so they go look for him. While they do that, their parents are killed by the pumpkinheads. The kids do not find Miller, but they find his mother looking for him and accusing them of kidnapping him. After she walks away, we find out that Miller was killed and turned into a pumpkinead and then he kills his mother.

When the kids get back home and search the farm for their parents, they find out that both their parents have been turned into pumpkinheads. They attempt to drive their parents to the hospital, but the car does not start. The parents say "our children" (this is the only time in either pumpkinhead episode that we ever hear the pumpkinheads speak) and they kill their children. Every character in this episode is killed and turned into a pumpkinhead.

Answer: Ted

Ted's personality is often compared to Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory" (and later "Young Sheldon" but this episode aired three years before that show premiered). He is very smart, but he is easily irritated and not nice to people who make him angry. He loves buying toys. He spends $5,000 (his mom gave him that money and told him to save it to buy a car) on a robotic teddy bear named Mangler. Mangler was a popular toy from the 1980's, but it was pulled from the shelves because kids died after they got the toy. Ted puts it in a plastic box to keep it in mint condition.

Mangler comes alive at night, intending to get revenge on Ted's brother (Mark) and Mark's friend (Jason) for using it as a prank to mock Ted. It goes across the street and attacks Jason. The next day, Mark sees an ambulance outside Jason's home. He goes there and sees his friend getting taken to the hospital, and finds a blue piece of fur on the ground. Remembering what Ted told him about Mangler, Mark figures out what happened. Ted refuses to believe him, but he accepts his suggestion to drive to the seller's house to get more information.

The seller tells the boys that it belonged to her brother who had recently passed away. The seller says that she was told that her brother died from an animal attack, which baffled her because there was no way an animal could have gotten into the house. Jason is 100% convinced that Mangler is responsible for the seller's brother's death, but Ted still refuses to believe it.

That night, Mangler comes alive again and attacks Mark. Mark is winning the fight, but then Ted wakes up and is horrified to see what his younger brother is doing to his favorite toy. Mark tells Ted that Mangler attacked him. At first, Ted once again refuses to believe him. Then, Mangler comes alive while in Ted's hand. That finally convinces Ted that Mangler is alive and evil. The boys chase Mangler through the house. In the end, Ted cuts off Mangler's head with a katana. Ted then puts Mangler's head back on, seals it tightly in a shipping box, and he posts an ad online advertising a Mangler in "near mind condition."

Answer: A recreational vehicle

The title "Argh V" is a play on the acronym "RV" which is short for "recreational vehicle." The change from "r" to "argh" implies that it is haunted. That's exactly what this episode is about: a haunted recreational vehicle.

Sam Covington's irresponsible parents take out a loan to buy a used recreational vehicle. They encourage her to take a ride in it, but she has a math test to study for. Her parents do not like the fact that she spends so much time studying. This episode has an unusual family dynamic where the child is more mature than the parents. All three of the characters are mutually baffled by this fact.

When the parents are away, Sam notices some unusual things about the vehicle. She sees a vision of a driver screaming and desperately trying to turn right, and then she hears a crashing sound. She hears voices that say "Come with us. Take a trip." At one point, the vehicle moves on its own and she is trapped underneath it. Sam's parents take her suggestion to have a mechanic look at it, but neither her parents nor the mechanic ever notice anything wrong with the vehicle nor do they ever see or hear anything that she sees and hears. Neither does her best friend Tully.

When Sam and Tully check out the inside of the vehicle, they discover a map that had the name "Applebaums" on it and some information about a family vacation. Sam does some research on her phone and discovers that the Applebaums died in a vehicle accident while on vacation. Sam tells her parents about it and tries to convince them to get rid of it. They sympathize with the family, but they insist that they are nothing like the Applebaums and they refuse to get rid of it.

At night, Sam and Tully steal the RV and take it to the junkyard. Either it drives itself back home or the Applebaum ghosts drive it home (it's never clarified which of those things happened).

The parents both decide to skip work and go on a vacation in the vehicle. They expect that Sam will not come along so they leave plenty of money at home for her and they tell her that her aunt will check in from time to time. She repeatedly tries to convince them that this is not a good idea, but that does not stop them. Finally, she reluctantly decides to go with them. She thinks that because she is the only one who knows that the vehicle is haunted, her parents are doomed unless she goes with them.

Her father looks at the map while driving, not paying attention to the road. A truck comes heading right towards the vehicle, and her father desperately tries to swerve to the right. At first, it seems like they have successfully avoided the truck and they are okay.

Sam's father notices a family waiting on the side of the road and asking for a ride. Despite Sam's objections, he stops to try to help them. The father of that family says that they are the Applebaums. Sam is shocked to hear that because that's the name of the family that died in the vehicle. Sam's mother thinks it's a different family with the same name. When Sam asks Mr. Applebaum what happened, he says that there was a truck and he must have swerved at the last minute. Sam realizes that's exactly what happened to her and her family. Her father invites the Applebaums on board.

When the Applebaums board the vehicle, the mother says that their vehicle was very similar to this vehicle. Everyone seems to be okay at first. When everyone sits down and buckles their seatbelts, Sam notices that the Applebaum kids look like ghosts. She then hears them say "come with us, take a trip." Then she notices that the Applebaum parents look like ghosts too. Then she notices her parents are speaking in monotone voices saying that the trip will last forever. She then notices that they are ghosts too. Sam puts all the pieces together and realizes that she and her family were killed by the truck in exactly the same way that the Applebaums were killed, and then they were taken to the afterlife. The Applebaums were killed 15 years before this and had been haunting the vehicle ever since. Now, both the Applebaums and the Covingtons will be haunting the vehicle forever.

Answer: Seamus

Fletcher played Grady, the main character in "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp." In "The Haunting Hour," he plays Seamus, the main villain of "Lotsa Luck."

Greg has a bad day at school and comes home to complain about his bad luck. His father says that he should catch a leprechaun to turn his luck around, and his Irish mother Kathleen tells his father not to talk about leprechauns. In the garage, Greg finds a book about leprechauns and learns how to catch one and get three wishes. He goes to the forest with a wooden trophy attached to a rope (it's a trap and the trophy is bait). With this trap, he catches Seamus.

Seamus recognizes Greg and Seamus asks how Kathleen is doing. Greg is puzzled to learn that Seamus knows his mother. Seamus is puzzled to learn that Kathleen never told Greg the story about when she met Seamus. Greg says that she doesn't like to talk about her family in Ireland. Seamus promises to tell the story, but Greg just wants his wishes.

Seamus shows Greg a balancing scale and tells him that magic is about balance, so every wish has a price. Greg's first wish is to be lucky. Seamus gives Greg a rabbit's foot and says that Greg will be lucky but other people will become unlucky.

The next day, Amy (the girl that Greg has a crush on) asks Greg to go to a dance. He also gets a new bicycle which he won from a contest that he entered a few months ago. Kathleen is suspicious that Greg entered a contest a few months ago and now he just won. She also wonders how some boxes of Irish cereal suddenly appeared in the house (the father thinks that he grabbed the wrong boxes by mistake when he went shopping). Greg's father gets a phone call to inform him that he is fired, which baffles him because his boss had just invited him on a golfing trip the previous day.

Against his mother's wishes (he doesn't realize his mother already figured out that he caught a leprechaun), Greg goes back to the forest and finds Seamus. This time, he wishes for so much money that his father will never have to work again. The leprechaun says "By my magic, take your wealth. By my warning, guard your health." Seamus gives Greg a pot of gold.

When Kathleen catches Greg trying to hide the pot of gold, Greg is surprised to hear his mother asking how many wishes he made. He says "two." Kathleen tells Greg more about leprechauns. She tells him that they steal the person's soul after the third wish. She says that the only person who ever avoided this fate was his great-grandfather, which made Seamus angry. Kathleen's family moved to the United States hoping to be safe from him, but it didn't work. She tells Greg that Seamus will not stop bothering him until he makes the third wish. Greg asks her how his great-grandfather escaped Seamus. She says that she asked him that question but he did not tell her exactly what he did.

While Greg's father is trying to fix his car, the hood collapses on top of his hand and badly injures him. Greg apologizes to his father. His father does not know about Seamus and he tells Greg that it wasn't his fault.

Kathleen puts herbs all over the house, thinking that will ward off Seamus. It doesn't work. Seamus comes in and says that if Greg does not make his final wish, he will take the entire family's souls rather than just his. Just as that's about to happen, Greg comes downstairs ready for his third wish, thinking it's the same wish as his great-grandfather's third wish. Greg's third wish is that he never met Seamus and that all his wishes get undone. Seamus grants this wish.

The next day, Greg loses Amy and his bike. His father gets his job back. When Greg takes out the trash, he sees Seamus. Seamus explains that though Greg's debt is paid, his great-grandfather's debt is not paid. Seamus explains that Greg's wish was not the same as his great-grandfather's wish and Seamus tells him what his great-grandfather's wish was. Greg's great-grandfather's last wish was to keep his soul in exchange for the soul of his next male descendant. Poor Greg, he was doomed long before he was born no matter what he did. The episode ends with Seamus jumping at Greg and taking his soul.

Answer: Zero

The father takes his family to a national park so they can help him beat his co-worker's record hiking time at that park. His youngest son, Melvin, does not want to go into the park because he has been reading about all the dangerous organisms inside that park. He stays in the car as long as he can, but the rest of the family strongly urges him to get out of the car. His father is angry that Melvin is wasting time, and if they don't go into the park, the father's money (he paid for this trip a year in advance) will also be wasted. The rest of the family just blindly supports the father and they do not question anything he says. Melvin is the only one who is concerned about what will happen if they go into the park.

The park ranger talks to them before they go into the park. He tells the family that several hikers went into the park and never returned. He also tells the family to stay on the trail and only camp at designated areas. Melvin's older sister Jacqueline compares the park ranger to a serial killer. The park ranger's warning strengthens Melvin's stance on not wanting to enter the park. Finally, his mother calmly tells him that she will not let anything bad happen to him. So, the family begins their hike.

The mother stays true to her word and tries to convince the father that they do not need to walk extremely fast. She tells the father that Melvin will not be able to keep up if the father keeps walking extremely fast. She also tells the father that the important thing is that they all enjoy the vacation and that it's not important how long it takes to reach the summit. She also tells him that the whole family is with him on a vacation that only he wanted to go on and that he should take their feelings into consideration. All these reasonable points make the father angry because he only cares about beating his co-worker's hiking record and he does not care about his family.

Janet gets angry with her husband and tells the family that she needs to leave the trail so she can use the bathroom. She didn't really need to do that. She just needed to get away from her abusive husband for a few seconds so she could calm down. Her anger with her husband is justified, but her decision to leave the trail (after the park ranger told the family not to do that) proves to be a foolish one. She unknowingly breathes in some yellow dust and she does not return to the trail.

The family calls "mom!" dozens of times. When she does not show up, the father decides that they will camp where they are for the night. The next morning, they see her a few times, but she runs away from them every time. They continue a little further, but then they find another place to camp for the night. This time, the father tells his kids that he will look for her at night while the family sleeps.

When the kids wake up the next morning, they find the father acting strangely. His skin is turning green and he will not say anything but "up." The kids try to encourage him to go back down the trail so they can find their mother, but he just says "up" and keeps going. The kids suspect that something is not right with him, so they follow him all the way to the summit. The older siblings are thrilled to reach the summit until they see what happened to their parents.

The parents have turned green, plants are growing out of their heads, and yellow smoke is coming out of their mouths. The kids also discover other people there who have suffered the same fate, and the kids realize that those must be the lost hikers that the ranger told them about. The kids start to go back down. When the older siblings ask what happened to their parents, Melvin tells them what he has learned from his book. They were infected and turned into some kind of plant-human hybrid (the episode never gives a name for what these people turn into). The yellow smoke is spores, and it infects people who breathe it in and turns them into those things. After they become infected, they seek out the highest ground possible and they breathe out spores so they can infect other people. There is no cure.

Both older siblings become infected (although I don't understand how, because they never left the trail and they didn't seem to breathe in anything that was coming out of their parents' mouths). Melvin runs all the way down the trail as fast as he can. When he reaches the bottom, he finds the park ranger. Melvin tells the park ranger that his family is gone. Too late, Melvin discovers that the park ranger is also one of those things (which makes no sense because he was at the bottom of the trail and it was clearly established that these things seek out the highest ground possible). The ranger breathes out some spores and Melvin cannot avoid them.

Answer: She gets moved to another family

"Goodwill Toward Men" is a Christmas episode. It is narrated by an angel, voiced by Carly Bentall. It's about a rich family (the Morgans) and their gardeners (the Donaldsons). The Morgans are mostly selfish, spoiled brats who think they are better than everybody who has less money than them. The only kind person in the family is the youngest child, Missy. The rest of the Morgans make fun of Missy because of her kindness and they jokingly suggest that she was born in the wrong family. The Donaldsons are a young man named Jake and his father Pete. They work hard. Pete injures his back on the job and Jake encourages him to rest, but Pete says that the Morgans will fire them if he rests. While Pete says "There is no one looking out for us but ourselves," the camera zooms out and shows us the angel.

Missy invites Jake into the house for some milk and cookies that she baked. Jake is reluctant to enter the house because neither of Missy's parents said it was okay. Jake eventually decides that if Missy invited him in, it's okay to enter the house. Missy's mother sees Missy and Jake in the kitchen and she asks Missy to leave the kitchen so they can speak privately. When Missy's mother asks why Jake is in the house, Missy admits that she invited him in. Missy's mother tells Jake to take the milk and cookies outside, and the rest of the family scolds her for letting Jake in. When Missy asks why it was not okay for her to invite Jake in the house, they fail to provide her with any reasons that are convincing to her or the angel.

Jake and Pete are fired. When Missy asks his parents why, they imply that they were afraid that Missy and Jake were going to start a romantic relationship. The parents acknowledge that Jake was invited into the house (he was not trespassing or breaking in) and he had done nothing wrong, but the parents fired her over an unfounded fear of what might happen. The angel decided that it was time to teach the Morgans a lesson.

That night, Jake returns to the house with a present for Missy. He tells her that he was at the mall doing Christmas shopping for his father, and a present just appeared out of nowhere and into his hands. He says that he heard a voice that said "give it to your sister," which baffled him because he does not have a sister. He asked the other people around who said that and who gave him the present, but no one else heard the voice or saw the present. He decided that since he has no sister, he will give it to the only girl that he knows (Missy). Missy believes everything he says and accepts the gift and he quickly leaves so that the rest of her family does not see him there.

Missy opens the gift and finds an angel figurine. The rest of the family is unhappy to find out that Jake was there and Mr. Morgan says that he will stop Jake from coming if he continues to come. Missy's brother warns Missy that it might be a bomb in disguise. Missy refuses to listen to her family. When she goes to sleep, she puts the angel figurine on her nightstand.

The next morning is Christmas. The family wakes up to find the angel figurine on top of the tree. They get mad at Missy for putting it there, but she denies doing that. The family then discovers that all the presents under the tree are for Jake and Pete. Mrs. Morgan does not remember wrapping any of them. Things get even stranger a few seconds later.

Pete and Jake come into the room to tell the Morgans that the Donaldsons own the house and that the Morgans need to leave before the police arrive. The Morgans say that they are the ones who own the house. When the police arrive, they say that the Donaldsons own the house and they ask the Morgans to leave. When Mr. Morgan looks for any paperwork to prove that he owns the house, he discovers that paperwork is all gone. The police escort the Morgans out of the house.

Most of the Morgans have no idea what is going on, but Missy figures it out. The angel figurine that she got from Jake is not just an ornament to put on the tree. It is a real angel and it has changed reality so that the Donaldsons own what used to be the Morgans' house and the Morgans are now homeless. Missy realizes that the angel did this to punish them for treating the Donaldsons poorly.

The family keeps walking until they find a neighborhood for homeless people. There, Missy pleads for help from the angel. The angel gives Missy five dollars. While her brother attempts to steal a hot dog, Missy goes to the vendor and pays for it. Missy then finds a very sick woman and gives the hot dog to her. The family scolds Missy for giving away their only food. She tells the family that they have only been hungry for a few minutes and that woman was starving, so she needed the food more than they did. This does not please the rest of the family.

Mr. Morgan leaves the neighborhood and begs a man to let him use the man's cell phone. When Mr. Morgan calls up everybody that he knows, he discovers that none of them have ever heard of him. When he returns to his family and tells them that, most of them are baffled and sad. Missy pleads with the angel to put things the way they should be. The family sleeps in the homeless shelter.

When Missy wakes up this time, she is back in her bed. She is now a Donaldson. Jake is her brother and Pete is her father. The Donaldsons own the house and the Morgans are the gardeners. The Donaldsons show kindness to the Morgans (asking them not to work on Christmas, giving them a large Christmas bonus, etc.). This turns the Morgans into kind people. Missy is happy that everything is the way it should be. The angel confirms what Missy said. The angel narrates that even though the Morgans did not earn a happy ending, they will get one because everybody deserves a good Christmas.
