Clarence: Previously on "Clarence,"
Mom and Chad wanted to have a gigantic sleepover,
and I did, too. So we invited everyone in town.
But then, um, the power went off,
and, 'cause, um, because -- because of -- of ghosts.
Aah!
So no one could come, except for Jeff.
But before Jeff got to my house, I decided to go out,
and I had to get some, uh, ghost grenades.
Oh, and Jeff thinks his kite made the power go out.

Hey, Mare, - have you seen the candles?
Chad, I got 'em right here.
If they go outside, they'll see it was my fault.
Don't let them go outside. Then they won't see.
H-How hard could it be?
[ Laughs evilly ]
I wonder where Clarence went. Maybe we should check outside.
-Hey, Jeff, you want a candle? -Aah! Don't go outside.
-Uh... -Um...
Because it's raining. You'll get wet.
Okay... Is Clarence out there?
Um, yes, but he said he'd be right back.
He's playing...
I guess that's okay. He's a free-range kid.
-Ha! -[ Laughs nervously ] Yeah.
That Clarence, always going outside.
[ Laughs ] Yeah, he sure is.
[ Laughs ] I'm like, "No, Clarence.
I don't want to play in the rain.
I'll get your house all muddy."
Aww, that's so thoughtful of you, Jeff.
-I like this kid. -Chad, run to Larry's house
and see if his power is out, too.
Oh, a-a-and see if he has extra flashlights.
No need to go outside.
[ Panting ]
I stashed flashlights here months ago,
in case of emergency.
Kid knows how to stash.
All right, I'm impressed.
Well, I guess we should, uh, get started
cleaning Clarence's couch fort disaster, huh?
Wait, Mary. Look.
♪♪
Um, I-I just can't stand a mess like this.
-[ Chuckles ] -I like this.
He's like a kid robot butler.
And that's how you prevent
greasy film spots from forming.
I could watch this all day.
Oh, hey, did you check the fuse box yet?
That's, like, the first thing I should've done.
Come on, Chad.
-[ Gasping ] Please wait. -Oh!
What is it, clean boy?
I-I-I already checked the fuse box,
and everything was fine,
so the problem must be at the electrical company
or somewhere else really far away.
-You already checked? -Now I'm going to go...
organize your shoes.
[ Panting ]
-He's a helpful boy. -I love Clarence,
but having a kid who likes to clean is a nice change of pace.
♪ Ahh ♪
Yeah. - New Clarence is awesome.
[ Panting ]
[ Thunder crashes ]
And did you see how fast he cleaned up?
Not, like, cutting-corners cleaning,
he was really scrubbing.
I'm afraid of what chemicals he breathed in, actually.
Yeah, I'm writing a song for the little guy.
[ Guitar strums ]
Wish I could plug this baby in, though.
Have you seen Jeff?
-Hello. -Aah!
Jeff, you scared us.
Mary. [ Chuckles ]
I took the liberty - of making you a chore wheel.
Uh, thanks, I guess.
I mean, I don't forget about the chores.
I'm just -- I'm a very busy...
independent woman. So, that's --
I'm not a messy -- I'm not a slob.
[ Chuckles ] Clearly. But it's the thought that counts,
so thank you very much, Jeff. That's very nice.
Um, anything interesting happen at school this week?
I do have a good anecdote.
So, I was on my way to school.
It was a pleasant morning indeed.
[ Duck quacks ]
"How trivial."
Fixing my sandal, I noticed this trail of strange red liquid
leading straight to these bushes.
Can you believe it? I almost stepped in some unknown --
Jeffery, what was the liquid? Was it from, like, guts?
Yeah, where was it coming from?
Oh, I don't know. - The -- The point of the story
is that I was lucky enough not to get involved.
And what's better than a good luck story?
[ Thunder crashes ] Ha.
Yeah, Mary, it kind of reminds me
of the time Clarence, he was making a kite.
And it ended up - getting stuck in the tree.
And we thought Clarence was missing the whole time,
but he was stuck in the tree, too.
[ Laughs ]
[ Electricity crackling ]
[ Poink! ]
Hey, I know. - Let's play "The Clarence Show."
That's one of Clarence's favorites.
The C-Clarence show?
[ Both laugh ]
Mary: Okay. Shh, shh. Okay, okay.
Okay. [ Clears throat ]
[ As Chad ] Uh, I'm hungry.
[ Normal voice ] Jeff, that's your cue.
[ As Mary ] Oh, I guess with no Clarence around,
-we can have some fun. -[ As Chad ] I'll say.
[ Both chuckle, smooch ]
Oh, hey. Uh, duh, I'm hungry.
Are you hungry, too, Clarence?
Sure.
[ Chuckling ] - How does toot soup sound?
[ Chuckling ] My favorite.
Is that a joke? - Soup made from human flatulence?
That's disgusting.
Uh, well, uh...
That's okay, because we've got to, uh...
Go into outer space and fight the evil alien king?
Uh, duh, uh, yeah, that sounds fun.
Clarence, are you coming?
No.
[ Normal voice ] All right. Well, that was...fun.
May I be excused?
Yeah, sure.
[ Sighs ] I don't want Jeff anymore.
I'm starting to get worried about Clarence.
I wonder where he went.
Just arranging these knives from dullest to sharpest.
[ Laughs nervously ]
Kind of spooky in here.

[ Grunting ]
Okay, kiddo. - You've been such a big help.
Huh? [ Grunting ]
All right, now it's time to relax.
Come on. - Park that keister, meister.
Go ahead, pig out.
[ Gasps ]
Whoopsie. Guess I'll have to clean my mess.
Don't worry about it. Clarence does this all the time.
There. This way, it doesn't go to waste.
-Drink up. Come on. -[ Gags ] Oh, no.
[ Thump ] Chad: Ow. Just stubbed my toe.
I can't see anything.

Okay, it's time to find Clarence.
No! H-He said he would be right back.
Why won't you believe me?
Whoa, calm down.
Oh, I-I know. I'll sing you a song.
Sometimes when Clarence gets worked up,
-I'll -- I'll sing him -- -I'm not Clarence.
My name is Jeff, and I just want to clean up.
All right, all right, whatever you want.
What's he up to?
Jeff: He said he'd be right back.
R-Right, Clarence? Uh --
Oh, this is all my fault.
Clarence is gone, and the power is out.
What have I done?
[ Distorted ] Jeff. I'm lost, Jeff.
Clarence. W-Where'd you go?
I'm lost, - and it's all because of you.
I have no way of contacting you --
[ Gasps ] Huh?
Of course.
Mary: I'm sure Clarence is fine. We just need to make a plan.
Quiet. You think he heard us?
First we check outside. [ Thunder crashes ]
There you are.
-Aah! -Aah!
Both: Huh? I never thought to radio Clarence.
He's usually the one calling me.
We can find out where he is.
J. Proper to Clarence-saurus. [ Beep, static ]
J. Proper to Clarence-saurus, do you read me?
Clarence: J-Jeff?

We need to go look for him.

Gonna need that flashlight. Calculator --
Oh, my gosh. It's all my fault Clarence got lost.
What do you mean, "it's all your fault Clarence got lost"?
Huh?
I mean...
friendship is like --
like an egg.
Yeah. Th-That's right. A-An egg.
You've got to hold it gently in your hands.
Sometimes the mama bird attacks you.
[ Squawks ] And you drop the egg.
It smashes on the ground, and you see it's -- it's broken.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
You can't put the egg back together again. No.
Too many pieces. Too many --
[ Thunder crashes ]
I mean, he could be anywhere. He could be in a ditch.
He could be in the dirt. I mean, he's into a lot of hobbies.
Mary: - Chad, that is not helping.
[ Grunting ]
Clarence. Here, boy.
We got tacos.
Uh, I think you should turn left up here.
That's a one way street, Jeff. I can't.
-Are you sure? Because -- -We can't go that way.
Uh, hey, little guy, where are you?
[ As Clarence ] I'm probably lost forever.
[ Normal voice ] Don't say that!
I'll find you, boy!

Sorry. - Here, Jeff, you take him.
Wait, Jeff?
Why won't anyone pick me up?
Ohh! Oh, no!

I'm going to tell on you.
Go ahead, Chad.
-Mary! -Quit it, you two.
[ Alarm blaring in distance ]
Maybe there's something about Clarence on the news.
Mayor: This is a severe weather warning for Aberdale.
Please defer to your local safety officer --
Computer: Melanie Baker -- I can't listen to the news.
It gives me anxiety. Could you turn it off?
-Turn it off. -Emergency broadcast.
-Could you turn it off? -Quiet, I can't hear it.
Turn it off. Turn it off.
-Quiet. -That's it.
[ Tires screech ]
I've had enough. I need both of you alert
and looking for Clarence, understood?
Do you want me - to turn the news back on?
It's not gonna help.
Can I see?
Don't hurt him.

I like pillow forts and sleepovers.

And you should come over, too.
