The Duncans take a quick trip to Dead Man's Lake.

Episode Summary[]

Bob, PJ, Gabe, Amy, Charlie, and Toby decide to take a vacation. When they first arrive, PJ notices a creepy portrait of Elijah T. Deadman. Later in the day, PJ is putting his clothes in a drawer, when all 4 sections of the drawer open up. PJ calls Gabe into the room, and tells him to stop messing with him. They read in a newspaper that the house has been a murder house. They scream when they see what looks like a murderer with an axe outside the window. They discover the man was Bob. The creepy caretaker appears and talks about the murders that happened in that house last summer. Later, the kids get scared and come to Bob and Amy's room. They hear a noise and head downstairs. A candle then floats by itself and ghosts of people who were murdered at the house by an unknown murder appear. They then find out they were just on a reality show that scares people and makes them think that the house they're staying at is a haunted house. Teddy pretends to be sick, only so she can stay home and have a party. However, there is a catch: security cameras are in the house watching Teddy, so Amy and Bob can look at the feed through a laptop while on their vacation and see what Teddy is doing. So, Teddy invites the president of the school's Audiovisual Club, Victor. He is the best with cameras, so Teddy invited him and Ivy got mad. Victor will insert the footage into the camcorder, and that's what Amy and Bob will see. Later, Amy is watching Teddy and discovers Ivy has given Teddy soup three times in the last hour and thinks it is on a continuous loop. Becoming suspicious, she calls Mrs. Dabney and asks her to check up on Teddy. Mrs. Dabney finds out that Teddy is having a party. Mrs. Dabney agrees not to tell on Teddy if she can be invited to the party. So Teddy agrees. Later, footage of them doing "the hustle" (a very popular dance move in the 1970s) is shown on the reality TV show that the rest of the Duncans were on. Amy implies Teddy will be grounded for 2 weeks. "Can you dig it?" says Amy.

End Credits[]

Bob, Amy, and Teddy come home and find Mrs. Dabney dancing in their living room so they join in. PJ and Gabe enter from the kitchen and also join in. Bob spins around and comes face to face the creepy caretaker, Walter and then the episode concludes with an ending pose.
