So in exchange for your candy donations,
the great Frankini will predict...
The future!
I see a glass of water spilling.
Thank you.
Would've been nice if it were
someone else's glass.
That was amazing.
What's amazing is no one's tipped me yet.
Clearly labeled jar here, people.
Perhaps that will change when you see me bend
an ordinary spoon using only my mind.
Ooh.
Any time now.
Bending the spoon.
Oh, what's this thing made of?
This is just sad.
Look at my boy out there.
What a charmer.
Like father, like son.
Is Miles flirting with that lamppost?
No, he's talking to a ghost girl.
Oh. Well, how come I can see Miles and not her?
Because Miles lives here.
You can only see outside ghosts
when they come inside. Hmm.
- This house is very special. - Hmm.
Oops.
Yes.
It's very special.
So Miles has a ghost girl crush.
Oh, how cute.
Hmm, look at him.
He'd have a better shot with the lamppost.
He's doing fine.
Uh-oh.
I think he's doing his bow tie jokes.
The great frankini predicts...
It's about to get worse.
There it is.
At least he's still chatting her up.
No, she's gone.
Now he's just talking to the lamppost.

Where have you been?
Grocery store.
Saturday is crazy cakes day.
- What's that? - Once a year...
Taylor and I make
the most disgusting cakes possible,
then dare each other to eat them.
Doesn't that make you barf?
Sometimes.
It's the one activity Taylor and I
still have in common.
I just got this framed from last year.
Taylor's home!
What?
Here you go, big guy.
I hate you.
What's with the screaming?
Your sister just got
the skyler makepeace to perform at our fundraiser.
Aah!
We'll see him sing in person!
Aah!
Guys, there's still tons to plan.
Aah!
What? I like to plan.
I can't wait for Saturday.
Saturday?
But that's crazy cakes day.
Frankie, this fundraiser is huge.
And I mean, come on.
Haven't we kind of outgrown crazy cakes day?
Oh... Right.
It's really dumb.
I only brought it up 'cause I thought
you were still into it.
What's in the bag?
Um, this bag? Yeah, um...
Look, somebody famous!
Susan, you're famous?
Can I have your autograph?
Hey, son. How you doing?
I've been better.
I have a personal problem I'm dealing with.
I wonder what that could be.
Is it perhaps...
♪ Miles likes a girl ghost ♪
♪ Miles likes a girl ghost
you're not ready to talk about it.
That's cool.
It's this girl Wendy.
I thought things were going great.
I was wooing her with my "a" game.
Son, we saw you.
You had a sock puppet.
Like I said, my "a" game.
I love you, son. But no.
No, no, no.
Luckily, you live with somebody
who can tell you everything you need to know about women.
Ha! You're right.
It's so obvious.
Michelle!
Thanks, dad.
Hey, Michelle! Michelle!
That was cold.
So you want my advice on dating?
You seem surprised.
I'm just not used to children wanting my input.
Observe.
Hey, tay.
Want to talk about boys with your ol' mom?
I'd rather shave my head and go to math camp.
Why wouldn't she seek your feedback?
You're such a hip, happening woman.
You're wise, Miles.
Very wise.
And I'm gonna help you win over your ghost crush.
Welcome to Michelle hathaway's academy of dating.
This is so exciting.
By the way, when was the last time
you were on a date?
There are no questions
at Michelle hathaway's academy of dating.
We have one sister tradition,
then Taylor cancels it?
I spent a fortune on disgusting foods.
Is it the money, Frankie?
Or maybe you worry Taylor's actions symbolize
the fact you two are emotionally drifting apart?
Frankie.
That pop star, skyler makepeace,
is coming over to talk to Taylor
about her fundraiser.
Well, isn't that special?
Taylor got held up at practice,
so keep him company till she gets here.
Why do I have to do it?
Miles is about to ask
his ghost friend out on a date.
He's so nervous, he's threatening to break
out the sock puppets again.
As his advisor, I can't let that happen.
I can't. I won't.
Wait a second.
If Taylor didn't have anything to do this Saturday,
it would free her up for crazy cakes day.
What do you mean?
I mean skyler makepeace might not want to do
the fundraiser after a visit
from the great frankini...
And her trusty assistant.
"Assistant"?
I thought we were partners.
Louie, if we were partners,
wouldn't we both have capes?
Hello?
Anybody here?
Enter!
Hi. I'm here to see Taylor. I'm...
skyler makepeace.
I already knew that.
But then again, I know many things.
I am the great frankini.
Of course you are in your pretty little outfit.
Hey, cheekbones, don't humor me.
I'm the real deal.
I'm sure you are.
I'm just gonna wait over here.
Fine.
Guess you're not interested in your future.
Your bleak, troubled future
where you'll soon meet a brown-haired girl
with a ponytail who is cursed
and will bring you nothing but bad luck.
Stay away from her.
You've been warned.
Oh, my gosh. Skyler makepeace.
Aah!
Sorry, we didn't mean to scare you.
So I'm Taylor,
and this is Sophie, Susan, and Emma.
Here, let me grab you a chair.
Do your thing, big guy.
I'm so sorry.
You okay?
I think so. That was weird.
Here.
- Ugh! - Oh, my gosh!
Taylor, what are you doing?
I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy.
You... Have a brown ponytail.
Aw. Thank you.
Here, have some water.
Taylor!
Oh, you're in the zone today.
Oh, my gosh.
Um, let me get you a towel. No.
Just stay away from me, ponytail.
You're cursed! Forget the fundraiser!
I'm out of here.
Looks like I just earned myself a cape.
Close enough.
Come on.
Just like I taught you.
You don't need sock puppets to charm a girl.
Hey. How's Miles doing?
Shh.
He's drinking in my wisdom.
Okay.
Not to brag... But I am awesome.
You do know what "brag" means, right?
So how'd it go with Wendy?
Well, the truth is... I got a date!
That's my boy. Son, I'm proud of you.
It's your first date.
Now listen to your old man when I tell you...
Michelle, we need to talk bow ties.
Already put together a list.
Grab your binder, meet me in the kitchen.
This is not a drill, people!
That's cool.
Plenty of other kids in this house
that can benefit from my knowledge.
Hey, Taylor, what's cooking?
Yo, kids.
How goes it?
All right.
I'll just be in the attic,
not taking any of this personally.
Guys, I didn't mean it.
All that stuff was an accident.
You just lost us skyler makepeace.
Aahow!
We're not doing that anymore?
We have a fundraiser starting in three hours
and no headliner.
I can fix this.
You know what?
You've done enough.
Taylor, you okay?
I was until I ruined everything
and let my friends down.
Well, at least you get your cake day.
No. I have to get skyler back.
What?
I wanted crazy cakes day,
but not like this.
I'm saving Taylor's fundraiser.
I'll never understand women.
What's that?
You want to learn about women, son?
Yes, I do.
Yes.
Michelle!
I can't believe the guy at the front desk
gave you skyler's suite number.
I can't believe he bought I was a federal agent.
The fake badge and handcuffs helped.
Right... Fake.
Okay, let's go convince skyler
he needs to do Taylor's fundraiser.
Great frankini?
Please, just call me "great."
May I?
Whoa!
This suite is sah-weet!
Sorry, I doubted you about ponytail girl.
You were so right.
Yeah, about that... stop jumping, idiot...
Would be a great song title.
Think about it.
Anyway, I came here today to tell you
that I'm not a psychic.
But everything you said came true.
It was a joke.
I wanted to stop you
from doing Taylor's fundraiser.
Well, it worked. I'm not going.
Okay, v-neck, listen up.
You're performing.
I messed up things for my sister,
and I need to make this right.
Sorry, but I got to the top of the charts
by trusting my gut, and it's telling me
to stay away.
But my sister needs you there.
Listen. Not going.
You can let yourself out.
Whoa! Whoa!
Uh-oh, Frankie.
I think I made a whoopsie.
Louie, are you in there?
Yeah, sorry. I'll get out.
No, wait.
Can ghosts sound like the people
they're possessing?
Oh, Frankie.
You silly, simple girl.
Ghosts can't... whoa! I guess I can.
Louie, you just found a way to save
Taylor's fundraiser.
You're a genius.
Yeah, I am.
Ugh.
But I lost my good looks.
Your date will be here soon. Ready?
Bow tie, check.
Backup bow tie, check.
- Conversation starters? - Check.
Crazy lady that won't give the kid space?
Check.
Oh, boy, here she comes.
- She is... - Adorable!
Okay, my child. We're ready.
Ray, you're okay with me giving
all this awesome advice to Miles, right?
Actually, as his father,
I was really hoping he might... good.
Because I feel with my dating help,
the sky's the limit for Miles.
Well, it's over.
What? What do you mean "over"?
Turns out she's into haunting.
And that's a lifestyle I could never accept.
But I have so much more wisdom to share.
Shh, shh, shh.
No, Michelle. My heart needs a break.
Well, I guess that's that.
- Hmm, we'll see about that. - What's that?
I said we'll see about that!
We've got a packed house out there.
Did you get through to skyler?
He won't pick up.
But don't worry.
I've got a backup plan.
Have you guys seen me soft shoe?
Yay! We're saved.
Hey.
Has your fundraiser started?
No, but my social life has ended.
Well, this might cheer you up.
No way!
Hi, Taylor! It's me.
Famous pop-star person, schooner mackelroy.
I thought you weren't coming.
Well, this is awesome!
Frankie, you're the best.
I have to go tell the girls.
Oh, can't you even get his name right?
What?
I've never heard of this dude.
I'm not a pop guy.
Taylor needs us.
For the next hour, this whole place
has to believe you're the skyler makepeace.
No problem. Check this out.
Hey, everyone.
I'm skipper mullroney.
Michelle, this is taking forever.
Sorry. But when you see this portrait on the wall,
you are going to thank me.
And done!
Why, Wendy.
This is a pleasant surprise.
Oh, no.
I was told to come here
because I won something? Hmm.
You did win something, Wendy.
A chance for happiness.
Look at this.
I knew it. You're no painter.
While we're all here,
let's focus on your relationship.
Our what?
Michelle, we went on half a date.
Which could stretch into a lifetime of memories
if you watch this little presentation
I put together.
What did you do?
Shh. Let's watch.
Hi.
I'm Michelle hathaway.
Welcome to second chances.
My 20-step guide to improving your relationship.
Communication.
Eye contact is the key to happiness.
The eyes are a window to the soul.
Dad...
Michelle has clearly lost her mind.
3d glasses on!
Yeah, I'm sensing that.
Don't worry, son.
I'll fix this.
Just follow my lead.
Miles, what are you doing?
You're missing the part where I talk about trust
while paddling a canoe.
I don't care.
I don't want to date Wendy.
She's a haunter.
Whoa, Miles.
This smart, lovely woman went to all this trouble
because she cares so much about you.
Thank you, ray.
It's almost like
she sees you as a son. I do.
And she'd never get so carried away
that she'd steer you in the wrong direction
just to feel needed.
Yeah...
So if she thinks Wendy's good enough
to date her son, then you'd do well
to consider it.
I guess you're right.
Wait!
That girl in there is a haunter.
There is no way I can allow my sweet Miles
to date the likes of her.
Really?
Okay. If you say so. Mmhmm.
How am I gonna break the news to Wendy?
Oh.
She's gone.
Ooh, chapter eight.
I'm releasing a dove.
Dad, the way you just turned Michelle around
was brilliant.
If I ever need advice on women,
I'm coming to you.
Thanks, Miles.
The ray Preston school of dating.
I like it.
Oh, by the way, when was the last time
you were on a date?
Get your butt upstairs
and finish your homework.
I can't believe you got skyler back.
Yeah, you really stepped up, tay.
You're a hero. Like Abraham Lincoln.
Only real.
He's here!
I love you!
- Can I take a picture with you? - Can I have a hug?
Ew, gross! No hugging.
Ugh. Ever heard of kooties?
Now here to perform his hit song,
I'm dancing on a rainbow,
skyler makepeace!
Quiet down, silly females.
♪ Rainbows are purple ♪ rainbows are green
♪ rainbows are yellow
♪ and that's the color of pee ♪
Pee.
What is happening? What is he doing?
You know what? Forget that song.
Check this out.
♪ Girls are yucky, girls are gross ♪
♪ I like to rap, but I don't like toast ♪
♪ Singing stupid love songs make me frown ♪
♪ I do my rhyming upside down ♪
No! Look out!
Second verse, same as the first.
Okay. Obviously, Louie is out there possessing skyler.
It was the only way to get skyler back
for the fundraiser.
Why are you trying to help so much?
That's not very... You.
Because I'm the reason skyler left in the first place.
The chair, the water bottle...
all me and Louie.
Are you kidding?
You knew this fundraiser was important to me.
You're supposed to be my sister!
What's this?
Pickles, chocolate syrup...
was this for crazy cakes day?
Uhno. That tradition is lame.
Look, I'm sorry I messed up your fundraiser.
Yeah, but at least now I know why.
It took two days to get the smell of cheese
out of my hair.
And then the hot sauce got in your eye
and we had to go to the E.R.
That... that part wasn't funny.
Actually, it kind of was.
The nurse with bug eyes?
"The doctor will see you now."
I should never have blown off crazy cakes day.
I mean, a day of stuffing weird food
into your sister's mouth?
How could anyone outgrow that?
My schedule is pretty open tomorrow.
I'd like that.
Oh! So nice to see everything in here is going well.
I just spent two hours
trapped in a tween dream cover boy,
but I'm fine, thanks for asking.
On your mark, get set, eat!
Whoo!
Ugh.
Toothpaste?
Anchovies?
- I'm gonna hurl! - Gross!
Best day ever!
