[edit] Plot
Pim is signing up students to watch the demolition of a factory but aborts the plan. On the school news,Debbie Berwick announces that her goal for the school's annual 'Bake-a-thon', which donates baked goods to needy children, is 50,000 cupcakes. Later on, Debbie asks Pim to join the Bake-a-thon to help her. Pim tries to refuse but Debbie begins to threaten her in a disturbingly deep voice and lifts her from the ground. Pim then forces the eighty students that would have been watching the demolition to become members of Debbie's baking group "Berwick's Angels". Pim is appointed the slave driver of the group.
At Phil's house, Lloyd is looking at a list of banished cyborgs. Phil recognizes Berwick in the list, although Lloyd thinks that it is impossible that the cyborg showed on the list could actually be Berwick, as she was supposedly sent back to the early 21st century. Phil reminds his father that they are in the 21st century, and his father suddenly panics.
Lloyd explains that cyborgs like Berwick were built to help people and make the world a better place. However, their happiness turned to insanity and, eventually, evil. Phil alerts Keely when they get to the school's Halloween dance. Phil and Keely find the dance floor deserted and hear Pim's drumming, so they go to investigate. They then find Pim in a room, banging on a drum, with Berwick's Angels baking cupcakes. Pim forges an S.O.S. to Keely and Phil via cupcake frosting. Then Phil realizes that, if the group eats the cupcakes intended for the needy, that she will overheat because of her own intense frustration. Berwick's Angels eat the cupcakes and Debbie overheats according to plan. Debbie eventually melts into a pool of black substance. Pim tastes the substance, saying the substance is, like Berwick, sweet. A second later, Pim's eyes glow (implying that Berwick has taken control of Pim).
[edit] Trivia
- At the beginning of the episode, Phil presents an opening similar to those presented at the beginning of The Twilight Zone episodes. The only difference is that Phil replaces the phrase "The Twilight Zone" with "Halloween".
