The teenaged Adam Freeman and his dad move to a new town, Springville, which Adam quickly learns the locals refer to as Spooksville. Just as the evening curfew hits and everybody else scrambles from the basketball court, Adam meets Sally Wilcox and Watch, a couple geeky local kids who tell him a little more about the town. That night as Adam is trying to sleep, he sees a strange phenomenon in his room - a spiderlike critter trying to haul away his childhood teddy bear, Sheriff Quick Paws. Adam calls Sally then goes to Watch's house, where the three carefully examine the teddy bear and find a shiny stone inside it. When Adam bikes home, he is struck by a car then wakes up inside the vast estate of the notorious Ann Templeton (whom Sally thinks is a witch). After he and Ann talk, Adam tries to make his way home once again, this time being menaced by a screeching creature. Written by Billie Rae Bates / BRBTV

Watch and Sally catch up with Adam on his path home and help him with the screeching creature, which can be kept at bay with light. Later, at the diner in town, Sally and Watch are examining a map they've plotted of the suspicious anomalies they know of in Spooksville, and Adam has seen the shape of that map before - at the Templeton manor, Shadowmere. The three devise a way to get the Templeton map, with Adam providing a hunky diversion for Ann while Sally and Watch sneak in. They examine the map later, then head out on the path it shows. They see a stake resembling where witches were once burned, along with a statue of a raven. Adam fits the stone from his Sheriff Quick Paws into the eye of the raven, and suddenly they're transported back in time to when Madeline Templeton was about to be burned at that stake. Adam then sees Madeline one-on-one, and she demands that stone from him. He tells Watch and Sally later that this stone must be some kind of conduit between points in time. ...

It's Halloween, and Adam, Sally and Watch are out trick-or-treating in Spooksville. They see another kid get abducted at the door of an old house that looks abandoned. They decide to investigate. Inside the house is a carnival with lots of costumed adults that seem to be trapped there, in another dimension, by one Marvin the Magnificent, who happens to be the kid they saw get taken into the house. Marvin takes note of our threesome, whose voices seem to be strangely altered in this other dimension. Marvin ushers them into another room, where he tells them his story. He's trapped there and wants to get back to his parents. He also has his eye on Sally's magic wand (she's dressed up as a fairy princess, while Watch is a cowboy and Adam is a Ghost of Christmas Past or something-or-other with chains on). The trio are able to help Marvin get back home, and all is well in Spooksville once again! Maybe. Written by Billie Rae Bates / BRBTV

Sally and Watch hear about a little boy who was swept to sea near a lighthouse, and they talk Adam into investigating with them. They go to the lighthouse and talk to the boy's older sister, who tells them about the old, bony hands that grabbed her brother and took him away. After some research via the quirky Mr. Spiny at the Springville Library, the trio goes inside the lighthouse and sees this ghostly figure firsthand, and then Sally and Watch find the little boy. He has a pendant that was given to him by his father, who just died. Turns out, the ghostly woman's son was also lost at sea, or so she thought. He really washed to shore with no memory and grew up to be this little boy's father, giving him the pendant. Once the ghost learns this, she's put at rest. We also learn a little more about what happened to Adam's mom - she vanished into thin air. Given the sequence at the diner at the beginning, this episode seems to precede the Halloween episode in production order. Written by Billie Rae Bates / BRBTV

While getting his registration in order at Lizzie Borden High School(!), Adam sees an old photo of his mom in the trophy case. He only learned recently that she was originally from Springville. He, Sally and Watch visit the other person in the photo, a local eccentric homeless man referred to as The Mayor because he actually was the mayor of Springville at one time. He tells them Adam's mom was a local hero who rescued some kids from a dangerous cave then had the cave sealed up. Of course, our trio then explores the cave. After some spooky stuff, they realize (mainly from the voice channeling through Sally!) that the cave is actually a living organism - an inter-dimensional creature - that has been suffering greatly for all the humans who have tried to get inside and explore it. Adam's mom, Laurel Hall, understood this as a teen and had the cave sealed to protect the organism. Adam finds his mom's letter jacket (which has a C on it - hmmm?). The threesome is able to escape the cave,... Written by Billie Rae Bates / BRBTV

Sally is seeing a mysterious light coming out of the closet in her bedroom. She isn't the only one in Spooksville losing sleep, she and her two friends find out at the diner. Diner owner Mr. Moonbeam (the recognizable Hiro Kanagawa) talks of a fear-eater, and it seems it's a creature from another dimension that feeds on fear. That next night, it sweeps Sally away to this other dimension. It seems this normally brave girl has a deep hidden fear. Adam and Watch want to lure the creature back again and open the portal so they can rescue Sally, and the perfect worm for the hook is Stanley Scaredy Katzman, an all-you-can-eat buffet for a fear-eater. They invite Stanley over to Sally's house under the guise of a date with Sally, and sure enough, Stanley soon unwittingly beckons the big hairy fear-eater. Adam is able to get through the portal opening in the closet and find Sally (with the help of the many belts hanging on her bedroom door). And what was Sally's hidden fear? That weird ...

Sally got scratched during a game in gym class yesterday, and now she is infected with the fire inside, coughing out smoke and feeling feverish. She says it was Ann Templeton who scratched her. A little research turns up a possible cure - the rare crystal moonflower plant, which just happens to be growing at the Templeton estate, Shadowmere. Adam, Watch and Sally ask Ann for some of it, and she wants to cut a deal to get the raven's eye stone from Adam. The three kids then sneak onto the grounds of Shadowmere and spy Ann and her butler Morpark in some kind of sorcery ceremony. They also see some ghoulish creatures. They get inside and get to the crystal moonflower, but the soda that Watch mixes it with for the cure only makes things worse for Sally. She's now coughing fire! Ann to the rescue, believe it or not: She sees the threesome and ushers them to a safe place where Morpark won't see, claiming to be a prisoner at Shadowmere. She saves Sally's life from the fire inside through... Written by Billie Rae Bates / BRBTV

The threesome are at Adam's house playing a board game (with a mini-guillotine!) when Adam's dad tells them to go take a hike - literally. As in, go outside and get some exercise. On their mountain hike, Watch finds a crystal that seems to grant wishes. He wishes to be able to eat anything. And he can. Back at Sally's house, she takes her turn and wishes for a duplicate of herself to do her chores. Then a robotic soldier shows up at her doorstep, saying he's collecting the debt for the wishes Watch and Sally made with the crystal. They either have to pay an exorbitant amount of currency or work off the debt in the mines of this creature's planet in another dimension. They flee to Adam's house, where the soldier follows them. Adam shoots it with a toy gun - and it takes the robot out! Adam's dad gets home and demands the truth from his son. Adam tells him how he believes his mom is trapped in some other dimension, and the key to finding her is here in Springville. Sally and Watch leave... Written by Billie Rae Bates / BRBTV

Adam, Sally and Watch are making sandcastles at the lake when they unknowingly free a cat, which then sneaks into the diner while they're there, and later attacks Ann Templeton. Sally has a fondness for the cat and encounters it in the alley, where it takes her place as a human. Soon, a beautiful new girl named Daniela shows up at the diner, claiming to be a friend of Sally. Adam and Watch are wondering where Sally went. At Shadowmere, Morpark is continuing his training of Ann in the ways of her ancestor Madeline. Adam, Watch and Daniela look for Sally at the library, where Daniela hits on Adam and spouts off history about the Templetons. A fluffy white cat appears, and Watch realizes this is Sally! Daniela cons Adam into a romantic walk by the beach, where she continues to relate to him Templeton family history, a tale of Madeline's great-granddaughter Eliza and and her best friend and familiar, Adeline. Daniela then traps Adam in a cave; she has a vendetta against the Templetons. ... Written by Billie Rae Bates / BRBTV

It's Christmastime, as Watch's mom needs to point out, interrupting her son at work in his basement lab. She convinces Watch to go hang with his friends, but a trip to the diner and the Christmas decorating there only turns Watch off. Outside, he encounters Tira, a cute girl who shares his geeky love of science. Sally and Adam see this and follow the two to Quarry Lake, where they suspect Watch is in danger. Adam intercepts a glowing orb's energy meant for Watch, and it turns our hunky hero into a junky zero, Sally sees. She must escape from Adam and appeal to Ann for help. Turns out that Tira and her kind, the No-Ones, are parasites from another dimension and plan to take over Earth as they take over human bodies. Sally tries to talk sense into Watch. Later at the beach, there's a big confrontation where Watch finally realizes that Tira doesn't like him for his great geeky qualities - that she is indeed part of a sinister plot to take over humanity.

Adam, Sally and Watch are out helping clean up litter on the city streets when Ann walks up and tells them she's found a way to get Adam's mom back. She takes them to a remote place, and Adam speaks the spell with the raven's eye. But it seems to transform Spooksville into a desolate, burned-out place - with zombies walking around! The four kids must flee, and they decide to try to find out more at the library. There, they read about a war between dark forces and a certain General Laurel Hall - Adam's mom. Mr. Spiny is there, telling how the dark queen - Madeline - silenced all the other people years ago. The kids realize they've been transported into a parallel Springville in another realm. This world is all silence and bones. Once again, the zombies chase them, until a Ninja jumps in and saves them. The kids flee again, and sadly find the grave of Adam's mom.

Adam's mom is trying to settle back in at home the best she can, though she doesn't remember most of what happened the past couple years. At the Springville Yacht Club, Sally's parents Bill and Dodie are trying to nab the open membership spot. They drag Sally to a dinner there, but she breaks away to investigate the recent disappearance of a young man at the pier. A kid from the Yacht Club follows her there, hitting on her. He then promptly disappears, as well, right after Sally gives him the coin the Yacht Club's commodore gave her. Sally has Adam and Watch meet her there to see about this snob-eating crustacean. They learn more at the Yacht Club's maritime library, realizing there is a pirate-turned-crab trying to regain his pirate's treasure from a tall ship many years ago.

Something's up with Mr. Chloro, the kids' biology teacher. After a walk in the woods to do his plant-themed podcast, he's acting really smiley and strange. He's also pushing these odd-looking potted flowers. He wants everyone in the class to have one, and pretty soon everyone in the town has one, and they're walking around like very pleased zombies. The only holdout is Sally - fresh off a new dress code violation, she clearly likes to do things differently. That means she's the only one who still has her wits about her and who can save the others (the others who are, incidentally, calling her a weed and pursuing her to either assimilate her or worse). Ann, who just transferred to Lizzie Borden High from her private school, doesn't seem as affected by the plants, either. In fact, she steps in and helps Sally try to defeat the mother plant in the woods. The plant coughs up Mr. Chloro's smart phone, which has his podcast video on it showing that the plant doesn't much like diet soda! (... Written by Billie Rae Bates / BRBTV

Adam, Sally, Watch and Ann are shipped off on a school field trip that turns out to be more like boot camp under the watchful eye of Coach MacGillis. It starts raining, so everyone heads down the train tracks to an old abandoned logging camp for shelter. Coach tries to search for a cell signal, and the kids swap scary stories. Scaredy Katzman tells the story of a girl who was lost at this old camp in the '80s after trying to make a call back to her mom on a very early cell phone. When Coach returns, he gets through on his cell, but then he suddenly disappears in a fog. This fog actually forms a ring around the camp, they find. Then Scaredy uses his cell and disappears in the fog, as well. Our foursome realizes that making a call puts you in danger. But Ann just uses her texting, and she disappears, too. A couple other kids then disappear. Watch makes the connection to the disappearance of Beth, the girl in the '80s, but then he's gone! Adam and Sally investigate the old steam ...

Adam's mom Laurel is sleepwalking, so Adam, Watch and Sally take her to the doctor to get checked out. While there, it's discovered that Watch needs his tonsils out. Into the hospital he goes, and after surgery he asks to keep his tonsils, since he's a scientist. He sets them in their jar on his nightstand, but during the night they seem to get up and leave, just after tormenting him under the covers! He goes and gets Adam and Sally to investigate. They return to the hospital and encounter the creepy Nurse Grott in the organ room. Yipes. They decide they have to see what's going on and find someone else who's getting their tonsils out.

Watch, Sally and Adam are volunteering at the blood drive at school, which, appropriately enough, is followed by a vampire dance. Except that this is Spooksville, so real vampires begin to pop up, beginning with Scaredy Katzman. He bites Sally, who soon grows some cute little baby fangs then promptly bites Watch. It's up to Adam to try to save the whole school from becoming vampires. The kids were suspecting Principal Blackwater as the head vampire behind all of this, but surprisingly, Adam learns that the principal is of the Van Helsing family line and was once a vampire hunter.

As they venture on, they discover a cougar carcass - it's been torn apart by something big.

Adam finally finds out from Watch and Sally what The Mayor said to his mom a few weeks ago, so the threesome go hunting for The Mayor, who eludes them for a while until they entice him with a pie.

Then he scurries off into his box, with Watch and Adam right behind him, but before Sally can follow, the box gets run over by a delivery van. Sally is still able to hear the boys, however, in the flattened box - they seem to be in a portal of some kind.

Adam and Laurel are doing a little shopping while Adam's dad is out of town, and it seems some of Laurel's memory is returning. She sees Morpark in town and freaks out, though. Back at Shadowmere, Morpark tells Ann they need to get Laurel because she holds the key to getting Madeline back from the same plane the two were sent to. Ann runs to Adam's house to warn him and his mom. Laurel says she used to be best friends with Ann's mom, Angelique. They head out, with Watch and Sally, to get Laurel to the safety of an area of Springville with heavy copper concentration, which should shield them from the psychic powers of Morpark and his minions, the Hermoculi.

Things get even more confusing in this first-season finale for the series. Adam wakes up from a nightmare - or has he woken up *into* a nightmare? Everything is twisted: He's the captain of the football team and running for student body president, Watch is a geek he never talks to, and Sally is his ex-girlfriend -- and a cheerleader! Ann (or Annabeth, as she calls herself) is his girlfriend. He tries to find out why he's in this strange realm, and his therapist doesn't help - she's Madeline Templeton! She tells him that the stone he carries around (the raven's eye) is his anchor in this fantasy world he's created since losing his mom two years ago, and that he should give up the stone to get healthy. When he can't seem to find any other answers as to why his world has taken this terrible turn, and he begins to believe that maybe this weird dream is his new reality, he almost does give the raven's eye to the therapist.
