9. Spores
2014 - Season 5
Melvin (William Ainscough) is dragged to Point Park camping grounds, because his father wants to beat an office rival's time to reach Lookout Point, and Melvin doesn't want to go being so afraid he locks himself in the car until his family coaxes him out. A creepy forest ranger named Ranger Jackson (Juan Riedinger approaches them, warning them to camp on the designated spots and leave no trace. The forest ranger also states that several campers have gone missing on the trail. His mother steps off the trail to go to the bathroom and a wind bearing spores hits her. The next morning, his mother is missing and although they see her on the trail, she runs away. Their father goes searching again after they set up camp for the night when the wind starts up again. The next morning, he is uncommunicative, and his face and hands turn green, actually tearing up the map and forcing the family to go up the trail instead of down to get help. When they make it to Lookout Point, their mom has returned. Now their mom and dad are turning into mushrooms just like the bodies of the other campers at the point. Although Melvin and his siblings run, his twin brother and sister are hit by the spores and begin the mushroom brainwashing. Melvin manages to make it back to the car, but Ranger Jackson is there and sprays spores at Melvin. NOTE: Appears to actually be S04E09 per Wikipedia & IMDB. Previous seasons appear in state of flux - possibly as a precursor to being corrected.
8. Lotsa Luck
2014 - Season 5
After an extremely bad day at school, Greg (Nolan Gould) comes home complaining about his awful luck. His father jokes that he should try to find a leprechaun to help him, but Greg's mother Kathleen, an Irish woman, sternly tells her husband to stop. 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.
