Cynthia happily watches her favorite TV program, "The Uncle Howee Show," hosted by the loud, energetic titular character (Tom Kenny), while Jared speaks to a friend on the phone. Upon hearing that all of his friends are going to see a movie, Jared decides to steal the money his mother left for dinner and put Cynthia to bed early so he can sneak out. But he fails to reckon with Uncle Howee, who, along with his rabbit puppet Loomis (also voiced by Tom Kenny), is able to communicate directly with Cynthia. When Jared puts Cynthia in her room for the night, Uncle Howee, Loomis, and their friend "Mr. Clock" suddenly appear in the house, teasing him and using supernatural powers to prevent him from contacting the police. Uncle Howee makes Cynthia disappear and challenges Jared to a game of "Find Your Sister Before Mom Gets Home and Grounds You for the Rest of Your Life," which Jared loses. Fed up with Uncle Howee's antics, Jared screams at him, only to realize that he is an extremely dangerous force when he discovers that Loomis does not have a puppeteer controlling him. Jared then admits defeat and agrees to become Uncle Howee's friend. The scene then cuts to Cynthia and Jared's mother arriving home from work and discovering Cynthia still watching "Uncle Howee" on TV. Her mother asks where Jared is while she looks for the remote, and discovers the horrible truth when Jared appears on the show, now transformed into a life-sized marionette of himself. She watches in horror as Cynthia waves to her former big brother, giggling.

Alice (Olivia Steele-Falconer) and her family are forced to move from their Victorian house because they can no longer afford to live there, and Alice is extremely unhappy, spending the day of the move embracing the "face" in her room, made of two light sconces and a heating grate. It seems as though the house itself is unhappy, too, but Alice's parents are more concerned for their daughter than their former living quarters. They do their best to make Alice feel better, but she stubbornly refuses to embrace their new house as a home. On the first night in her new bedroom, Alice hears a voice calling "Come back, Alice"; the next morning, she pretends to go to school, only to sneak back to the house, which reveals itself to be sentient by unlocking the front door, "smiling" with its heating grate, communicating via the lights, and even providing marshmallows and a fire to roast them. Alice tells the house that she loves it, and hides when her parents arrive looking for her. As she eavesdrops, Alice learns just how much her parents love her, and realizes that while the memories of the house are beautiful, they are nothing compared to her family. She decides to leave and says good-bye--but the house flies into a temper tantrum, slamming its doors and refusing to let Alice leave. As she panics, the light sconces in her room move forward on red ropes, which take the form of a snake and attack Alice as she screams. The episode ends with a new family moving in, with another preteen girl taking Alice's room as her own. As she does, she discovers that there are now two faces in the room--the light sconce and heating grate, and Alice's own face, permanently frozen into a smile, sealed within the wall. The house evilly welcomes its newest occupants, and the girl rushes out screaming.

Greg later finds an old book of Celtic folklore in a box of his mother's things. Upon reading it, he learns of a way to capture a leprechaun and gain three wishes. He baits a trap with a golden trophy and imprisons Seamus (Brendan Fletcher), a leprechaun who promises to give him whatever he wants. Seamus warns him though that "magic is all about balance," meaning that wishes come at a price. Greg's first wish is to become lucky. The next day, he wins a new bike in a contest and his crush Amy asks him to a dance, but his father abruptly loses his job. He tries to make up for this by wishing for wealth, prompting Seamus to summon him a pot of gold. Kathleen discovers Greg trying to hide the gold, and surprisingly asks "How many wishes have ya made?" She reveals that leprechauns are evil tricksters who always claim the soul of their captor as the cost of the third wish, and further tells her son that her great-grandfather Daniel was the only man who ever managed to avoid this fate, which infuriated the leprechauns and eventually led her family to flee Ireland for protection. When Seamus badly injures Greg's father's hand to balance the second wish, Kathleen and Greg try to protect the house using herbs. Seamus enters anyway, torturing the adults and claiming that he will take Greg's soul along with theirs. Greg then enters the room, announces that he has guessed what his great-great-grandfather's final wish was and uses it to wish that he had never met Seamus, undoing the effects of the leprechaun's magic. Time is reversed to the day after Greg captured Seamus and all seems well....until Seamus arrived to keep his own soul in exchange for the leprechaun taking that of his next male descendant. Greg realizes that this means his soul is forfeit and Seamus lunges for him.
