Answer: They opened a portal to the underworld.

Frustrated by their ostracism by the cool kids in their high school. Astrid and Lilly accidentally and unexpectedly open a portal to another dimension. Through this portal monsters pour, intent on destroying the world. Out of a sense of responsibility, Astrid and Lilly take on the role of monster hunters in order to save humanity.

Answer: body parts necessary to close the portal

In order to close the portal they opened, the girls must not only kill a succession of monsters but must also place specific monster body parts in a magical orb. The names of the episodes are the names of the required monster body part in that episode.

Answer: Candance

Lilly Fortenberry, played by Samantha Aucoin, is being raised by a lesbian couple. She is, at the beginning of the season, unclear about her own sexuality. Candace was a childhood friend but they were estranged as Candace became the most popular girl in school.
