Okay, something dramatic.

- Don't move a muscle. - How's this for splashy?
I'm painting Sharkie riding a rainbow wave of joy.
- Huh? - It's interesting.
You know, I see him more as a fleeting coalescence of fate.
- Oh. - That's art for you.
You know, Art in the Afternoon
was frankly a great idea, Scratch,
but don't you have Chairman duties you gotta take care of?
Yeah, I've got someone covering for me.
A request to add more cobwebs to the Haughty Haunts.
Very good. And the ordinance to forbid ghosts
from jump-scaring other ghosts?
Mm-hmm.
But isn't that against the rules?
I'm the Chairman, Molly. I make the rules.
So now I add a happy little cloud.
We're done with the regulatory decrees.
On to the statutory mandates.
Ghost Council! There's a paperwork emergency
down in the Land of Eternal Nightmares,
and only you can solve it.
Sounds serious.
Let's roll, team.
Mr. Chairman? You coming?
Oh, you can't risk the Chairman on such a dangerous mission.
No.
But don't worry.
He'll be safe with me.
More paperwork for us.
Dibs on any notarizing.
Ugh! Finally!
Do you know how hard it is
to get the Ghost Council to leave your side?
It's hard. But now the time has come.
Time for what, Jinx?
Well, thank you for asking, Mr. Chairman.
It's time to be vanquished!
What? A thumbs-up?
You want to be vanquished?
And now you don't?
Are you mocking me?
Seriously? You are ruining my moment!
Wow, I can't believe Scratch
just left the Chairman robes for me.
So lazy, so irresponsible.
Okay, no, that tracks. Actually, I can believe that.
The power is mine!

Okay, in retrospect,
leaving the all-powerful Chairman robes
on a melon was not a good idea.
You really messed up, Scratch.
You're a terrible Chairman.
Oh, no, no, no. Don't listen to him, Scratch.
He's just cranky 'cause your irresponsible behavior
has had terrible consequences.
But you can prove you're a great Chairman
by telling us how you're gonna stop Jinx.
Thank you, Geoff with a G.
My plan is, we're...
Yes, uh, we're gonna...
Ahem.
No, that's terrible.
All right, come on. Come on.
You know what? I should check with Plan B.
Sorry, boss, I got bubkes.
Okay, my plan is to...
throw it to the group.
We're throwing it to the group,
because a great leader,
which I am, delegates.
- Who's got a brilliant idea? - Ooh!
We vanquished the last Chairman with joy.
- We could just do that again. - I love this plan.
I love you. I am so glad I delegated.
I love myself. Let's go get my Chairman robes back.
Okay, we're gonna need as much joy as we can get,
and you know what they say. The more, the merrier.

Uh, sorry to interrupt the song, you guys,
but I need to find a sample of Spectrenium-283.
It's an isotope of Spectrenium,
and it has the correct atomic weight
to trip the ecto-sensor in my phantom canister.
And without it, I won't be able to go--
Tell us later. We gotta go, June!

Oh.
All right, ready to spread some joy?
Got fun flowing through your ectoplasm?
- Yeah! - No.
Okay, great! Then let's take down Jinx.
Oh, right after we help this adorable little guy.
He's so cute and...
Ah!
- Molly! - It's a trap.
It's a really adorable trap!
Of course it's a trap.
You did the exact same thing last time.
Oh, the living are so predictable.
Which is great for me, because now my sobgoblins
can steal your off-the-charts joy
and turn it into powerful misery.
Aah! Molly!
No, no, no.
Friendship's not coming to the rescue today.
You know, I was thinking,
no disrespect to my One True Chairman,
but if I really want to make a splash,
I gotta do something bold.
Taking over the Ghost World? Ugh, it's been done.
But taking over the living world?
Ooh, spicy! I like it!
What? No. You can't.
And thanks for making it so easy for me, Scratch.
Super appresh.
Scratch, get everyone out of here.
Molly!
You have to save the living world!
Oh, hey, guys. Glad you're back.
We didn't keep your soulless bodies in this chest
because they were creeping us out or anything.
The darkness is my only friend.
Oh, so creepy.
Bodies are weirder than I remember.
I never should've taken you guys to the Ghost World.
Delegation idea was terrible.
I should not have taken pitches, and that's on me.
That's the one mistake I made today.
Life is a big joke, and we're the punch line.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Woof.
All right, no one listen to her.
She doesn't know what she's talking about.
I hope real Molly's okay.
Yes, eat it. Good, huh?
Eat all that yummy joy so you can grow up big and strong.
We are not leaving this table until you've devoured it all!
Oh, you've got some glee stuck in your teeth, let me get it.
I gotta buy my friends some more time.
Initiating Super Sad Mode.
Meh?
Without Molly's hopeful spirit...
The human world is doomed.
There's no way we can take on Jinx.
Especially with an army
of joy-fueled sobgoblins.
Darryl, where are you going?
Uh... somewhere undisclosed.
Don't worry about it.
This is hopeless.
Molly would never give up, and we can't, either.
There's got to be some way to stop Jinx.
But how? We're ghost helpers, not--
Ghost hunters!
Libby, that's it! We need--
Mom! Dad!
- Come here! - Hurry!
Kids? What's--
You kids better explain what's going on right now.
Sorry, Mom and Dad,
but we have to tell you something.
And you're not gonna like it.
But you need to hear us out, okay?
We met a ghost.
More than one, actually. Three.
- Three? - Three?
Did you capture them? I already see the MeTube title:
"Our Kids Used Everything We Taught Them to Catch Ghosts."
Million views, easy.
Maybe we'll finally get a sponsor.
No, see, the ghosts are, uh, our friends.
Huh?
They're not as bad as you think.
If I had more time, I'm sure I could
scientifically prove that some ghosts are good--
Stop!
Clearly some ghost has addled your brains.
Oh, no. Have you been possessed?
Dad...
I need you to give ghosts a chance.
Allow me to introduce you to the kindest,
sweetest ghost who's ever existed.
- Our friend... - Geoff.
That's G-E-O...
It's... It's you!
...F-F.
Leaving your best friend
when you have to move.
Growing up and losing the magic of childhood.
A puzzle with one missing piece
so you never feel that rush of satisfaction
when you finish the picture.
I see what you're doing over there,
but you can't keep that sad act up while looking at this!
Aw, they're having a parade.
No! I will not feel joy.
Oh, come on.
You can't resist this disgusting cuteness.
Give in.
Aw! How'd that baby get in that potted plant?
No! Molly, no.
Cross-generational bonding.
It's so pure.
I can't resist!
Ah!
That's more like it.
He's the ghost who started it all.
You two know each other?
He tormented me when I was just a kid.
Boo!
And now he's come back all these years later to finish the job.
Wait, was that September 27th, 1986?
- Yes. - Chesterfield, Connecticut?
- Uh-huh. - 6:10 p.m. Eastern time?
Uh... yeah?
Ah! I knew it.
I wasn't trying to scare you, friend.
I'm just super allergic to dust.
Ah...
So it was all just allergies?
See? Ghosts aren't what you think.
Maybe we should listen.
No. I don't believe him.
Okay, we're on a tight schedule here, folks.
Here's the deal. You don't have to like all ghosts.
Personally, I myself don't care for quite a few.
But there's a very bad ghost
who's taken over the Ghost World.
Unfortunately, no one knows how this all happened.
- Yes, we do. It's your fault. - Jury's still out, Jeff.
Point is, if you don't help us stop Jinx,
she's gonna take over the human world, too.
Maybe the enemy of our enemy is our friend?
Okay.
We'll help you. But I still hate ghosts.
Especially you.
I mean, it hurts, but I get it.
Yeah. Looking beefy, boys.
You're ready to squeeze the life out of the land of the living!
I hate to dine and dash,
but we've got to destroy your world now.
Toodles.
No!
This is going to be okay, right, Sharon?
I need you to be reassuring right now.
I wish I could, but this is bad.
You know what they say.
Misery loves company.
And, ding-dong, you've got company.
Stand back, everyone.
Ghost Chaser Chens...
fire!
- Oh, that's cute. - Huh?
Get 'em, boys.
Esther!
No! Aah!
Can't fight like this.
We're doomed.
Unfortunately,
as long as Jinx has that robe,
I think you're right.
Miss McGee?
You must do something to stop Jinx.
Too weak.
Oh, we need Scratch back.
I hate to admit it,
but he was a better Chairman than Jinx.
Oh, yes, I liked how he'd sometimes
order churros for the group.
Mm, yes, I enjoyed that, too.
Wait, keep saying nice things about Scratch.
More nice things?
It won't be easy, but we have to try.
I liked the way he didn't throw Bartholomew
into the Flow of Failed Phantoms.
He implemented Summer Fridays all year round.
And then eventually said,
"Have the whole week. Just be chill."
Scratch's cutie bit was exquisitely styled.
There. I said it.
Oh, you know I love that cutie bit.
As much as he was irresponsible,
I did grow fond of him.
Yes. In the end, I suppose you could say we were...
uh, friends.
Nothing gives me more joy than friendship!
Bartholomew. We missed you!
I always wondered what it was like
in the Flow of Failed Phantoms.
How I miss that sweet ignorance.
Time to spread a little joy.
Much better.
Ahh!
Agh!
A befitting tribute
to the greatest Chairman that ever died.
- There's no way to get to Jinx! - What are we gonna do?
Sobgoblins, finish them off.
Well, at least we gave it our best shot, right?
Remember me as the greatest Chairman ever,
who never did anything wrong, ever.
Scratch!
I gotta get used to legs again.
Molly! You're okay!
Oh, I am better than okay.
I found my joy again,
and I thought you could use some, too.
- Hoo hoo hoo! - And what's more joyful
than friends?
The more, the merrier, right?
Sobgoblins, what are you waiting for?
Our world may be in shambles,
but we will not let you take the living world.
Yeah. We won't.
I recognize that look.
I've seen it in the mirror a thousand times.
They're overeating!
Get ready.

has got one heck of an idea!

We did it!
Thanks, Giancarlo.
I owe you one.
We thought you abandoned us like a coward.
Pfft. And give up the chance to swoop in like a hero?
Come on. You know me, girl.
I was wrong, Scratch.
You might actually be a good Chairman after all.
Hear, hear!
To the greatest Chairman there ever was.
Huzzah, Scratch!
Wait, no, I am not the greatest Chairman ever.
I'm lazy, incompetent.
I don't even like the job.
This whole mess was my fault.
I shouldn't be the Chairman anymore.
But it's the rules.
And as the Chairman, I make the rules.
As Chairman of the Ghost World,
I set a new decree.
The robe shall fly free...
to seek the ghost most worthy!
I wonder who they'll choose.
I'm proud of you, buddy.
- You did the right thing. - Yeah.
I am gonna miss those free churros, though.
One more? For old times' sake?
No. Take a walk.
Eh, it was worth a try.
Real live ghosts.
Not live, but you know what I mean.
Thanks for listening to me, Dad.
Thank you for pushing me to open my eyes.
You're a great kid, Ollie.
Geoff, may I interest you
in a glass of my homemade root beer?
Friendship gesture.
Mm! Who knew roots were so delicious?
And, uh, Scratch, heard you're a fan of strawberry soda.
Ooh!
Oh, Ruben,
we're gonna get along just fine.
Aw, look at you, getting along with everyone.
Ah, I guess that's just something I do now.
You're rubbing off on me, Moll.
Best friends forever.
