Plot[]

In this halloween episode, Quinn walks out of the bedroom to find Katie and Clay on the couch together, confused as to why Clay is sitting with the person who tried to murder them. Much to her shock, Katie and Clay turn into zombies and prepare to attack her on the count of two, before she runs out of the beach house. Quinn next finds Nathan, who is holding a bloody kidney and also becomes zombified as well, as she runs upstairs to find Haley. Haley has been bitten, leaving Jamie and Quinn as the only non-infected members of the family. Quinn and Jamie run into Clothes Over Bro's to find Julian and Brooke fighting off a horde of zombies. A zombified Jamie leaps onto Quinn preparing to bite her, as she wakes up in the middle of the night screaming, revealing it all to be a nightmare. Quinn gets out of bed and opens up her nightstand drawer and uncovers a gun. In the morning, Haley walks into her kitchen with groceries to find who she thinks is Jamie on the couch playing a video game with a clown mask on. She asks him why he would wear that, knowing she is afraid of clowns when Jamie walks into the kitchen. Haley asks Jamie who is in the clown mask and Jamie laughs telling her it is Chuck. Chuck tells Haley he got the mask from his dad when Jamie asks if Nathan is taking them trick-or-treating which Haley confirms he is. Clay and Nathan are discussing the bobcats season opener that is taking place that night and Clay apologizes that Nathan isn't there to play. Nathan says that it hasn't sunk in for him yet that he is no longer playing basketball. Clay then reads a news statement about their client, Troy Jameson, that discusses looking for better offer from Atlanta and if not, they will have Troy reenter the NFL draft in the next year. Clay is still teaching the ropes of sports agency to Nathan as they discuss Troy and his current status in the NFL. Nathan then ends the conversation that Troy is risking his trust and credibility with potential future teammates and how he should quit now if that is the case. Millie visits Mouth at Tric and gifts him with a pumpkin and telling him how much she has learned from listening to his podcast. Millie then asks Mouth if he wants to hang out with her after the Halloween party which Mouth agrees to. Chase overhears and asks if Mouth and Millie are back together which Mouth declines and says they are just hanging out. Chase then shares his observation with Mouth about how in Millie's point of view, she thinks that they are getting back together to which Mouth tells Chase to handle his own girlfriend drama. Mia approaches Chase after that conversation asking where Mouth got the pumpkin. Chase tells Mia it was from Millie to which Mia says that she didn't know they got back together. Mia then apologizes to Chase about Alex leaving town for her movie. Chase then points out that he knows Mia wanted her gone and asks her to not pretend that she cares.

At the crisis intervention, Haley answers another call from the sam woman in the past few episodes, her name and who she is is still unknown to the audience and Haley. The woman apologizes to Haley for calling her so much as she knows Haley has other people to help as well. Haley says she isn't wasting her time and that she looks forward to her calls. The woman then reveals her name, Erin, to Haley. Brooke is reading old magazines in her living room about her company when Julian walks in asking how she is. Brooke tells Julian that she isn't feeling good about herself because of how she lost her company that she worked so hard to build. Julian then acknowledges the fact that not everything is gone for her because the reason why the company was so successful was because of Brooke and her talent. Brooke then says that she gave herself away and she doesn't know who she is anymore. Julian then says that since its Halloween, she doesn't have to know and can be whoever she wants to be. The doorbell rings and Brooke opens the door to a woman who says trick-or-treat and Brooke responds telling the woman she is too old for that. Brooke asks what the woman wants and she responds asking if her son is there. Julian walks in acknowledging his mom while Brooke stands in shock that she was being rude to her future mother-in-law, Sylvia Baker, and nervously shakes her hand. Nathan and Clay are lifting weights at the beach house when they take a break to talk about Troy. Nathan asks if Clay will talk to him and Clay follows saying Nathan should. Nathan refuses to do this, stating he wouldn't know what to say. Clay tells him that he should just talk to him and that Nathan has a rare point of view since he experienced a professional sports career. Clay says that he has been in their shoes and knows the feeling, stating that Troy will listen and that this is where Nathan can start helping with the agency. At the Scott residence, Chuck and Madison are sitting on Jamie's bed in their halloween costumes, waiting for Jamie to reveal his. Chuck and Madison are Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series and Jamie walks in as Harry Potter. Chuck laughs and says he would have made a better Harry Potter and asks Madison if she agrees. Madison disagrees and thinks Jamie looks cute. Chuck then says that Hermione is supposed to have a crush on Ron, not Harry. Jamie then talks about how scared Chuck and it gets so bad that he pees himself. Quinn then walks in on Clay filling up their bowl of Halloween candy which Quinn states how uncomfortable she is about strangers coming to their house. Clay asks if she is okay and Quinn says that she hasn't been sleeping very much lately. Quinn then states that she now wants to dress up with Clay and enjoy Halloween. Nathan is introduced to Troy who talks about going to see Nathan play in college and how well he played then. Troy then apologizes about Nathan's back that has kept him from playing and that he enjoyed Nathan's press conference in the last episode, "Nobody Taught Us to Quit". Nathan then gets into the situation with his agents to which Troy asks if he is making a mistake. Nathan says he isn't there to judge Troy and that he is a good football player but he needs to ask himself if the holdout on offers is done so by himself or his agents. Troy responds saying he has been thinking about that question himself for 3 months and that Nathan was the first person to ask it.

Julian is having lunch and drinks with his mom, Sylvia, and asks if she likes Brooke. Sylvia then says that Brooke is very nice but seems high-maintenance. Julian then asks his mom to get to know Brooke because she will fall in love with her, like Julian did. Brooke shows up late saying she wanted to pick up the wedding planner. Brooke talks about her ideas for the wedding and asks Sylvia if she would want to look at it as a way of getting to know one another, which Sylvia agrees to. Millie is visiting Mouth once again at Tric and asks where the pumpkin is that she gave him earlier. Mouth then teases her saying he misplaced it to which Millie does as well saying that he carved it instead. Mouth said he did and that it looks terrible, then he asks Millie what's going on. Millie says she just wanted to say hi and Mouth then says that he wants to make sure that there is nothing serious going on. He says he doesn't want to jump back into a relationship at the moment because he isn't ready. Millie responds saying that she understands and reveals she had been wondering what their situation was. Sylvia says Brooke picked interesting color choices for the wedding but that she prefers a more traditional color tone instead and says that Brooke's choices might work. Julian then tells Sylvia he picked out the flowers to which she tells him they are beautiful. Sylvia flips to the dress and then reveals that she came to town a few weeks early because she wants to help with the wedding, financially. Julian questions it and Sylvia says she is going to pay for everything and wants to give them what they want and make it the wedding they always dreamed of. Brooke responds saying she doesn't know what to say and Sylvia tells her to call her mom. Sylvia jokes telling her to say it after the wedding and then welcomes Brooke into the family with a toast. Quinn is cutting up apples in the kitchen when she sees kids walking up to the front door on their camera and shouts to Clay about them. Clay comes out in costume as a vampire and asks what Quinn's costume as. She points out her cape and says she is "Super Quinn". 3 young girls reveal themselves and pick out their choice in candy from the bowl. In the kitchen, Quinn sees Katie on the cameras and runs to the front door. She slams the door shut and Clay asks what is wrong. Quinn tells Clay what she saw but he opens the door only to find the same 3 girls and their mom upset. At the Scott residence, Chuck, Jamie, and Madison are waiting for Nathan to take them trick-or-treating. Chuck keeps asking where Jamie's dad is to which Jamie says that he will be there. Nathan walks in after that and asks if they are ready to go. Haley comes in telling them how great they look in their costumes and thanks Chuck for not wearing the clown mask. Chuck asks Nathan what is costume is and he turns to Haley and asks her. Haley says she is going shopping to get their costumes and Nathan asks her to not get a couples costume. Haley responds stating that couples costumes suck then at the store, Brooke is shopping with Haley and she tells her that her and Julian are doing a couples costume. Haley tells her that it's cute and asks what it will be. Brooke tells Haley that Julian will be a clock and Brooke will be an orange in reference to one of Julian's favorite movies. Haley says she doesn't get it but Brooke is confident it will make sense. At their beach house, Quinn says she scared the young girls and Clay says that he thought she was doing better. Quinn thought so too and asks Clay if he is ever scared. Clay tells her he is sometimes but they can't live their lives in fear. Quinn tells Clay that she has been having nightmares every night and checks the security alarm even though they have been home for 2 weeks now, saying she is living in fear. Clay asks why she didn't tell him and Quinn says that she didn't want to burden him as he is still healing. Clay points out that they both are and asks if they should move out of the beach house. Clay the suggests that Quinn should take the photo assignment in South Africa because he thinks it would be good for her to get away for a few weeks. Quinn says she doesn't want to leave him but Clay asks her to think about it as he is not going anywhere.

Nathan, Jamie, Chuck, and Madison are trick-or-treating when Chuck points out how much more candy he has then Jamie. Jamie then says its because Chuck is taking handfuls instead of one. Chuck asks Nathan how many more houses they have to go to and Nathan says only a few when they come across a creepy, dark house. Jamie asks if anyone is home at that house and Nathan responds saying there's only one way to find out. Chuck asks Jamie if he is sure he wants to find out considering who lives there and Chuck tells them the story. Chuck goes on to say that no one has ever seen the man who lives in that house but he has heard that the man snatches kids who step on his porch and makes them eat a lot of food to fatten them up and cooks them. Nathan chimes in and say that that is the story of Hansel and Gretel and tells Chuck to stop because it is not real. Chuck waits behind and Madison turns to Jamie asking if they should go knock but Jamie says they should just go to the next house. Brooke comes home from the store, looking for Julian to give him his costume when he emerges from the bathroom in a dalmatian costume. Brooke asks why he is dressed like a dog when Sylvia comes downstairs wearing a Cruella de Vil costume. Julian goes back into the bathroom telling Brooke that she now knows why he hates Halloween. Nathan, Jamie, Chuck, and Madison reach the last house of the night as Nathan is approached by a bobcat fan. The fan states that he bets Nathan would give anything to be playing as Nathan looks at Jamie and responds that he wouldn't do so. At Tric, the Halloween party is taking place and Nathan is getting a drink from Chase when he changes his mind and gets a drink from Mouth instead. Haley and Mia walk in with Haley in a pregnant cheerleader costume and Mia in a mermaid costume. They run into Chase and Mia asks him if he likes her costume and guesses she is The Little Mermaid, which Mia says no. He looks at Haley guessing she is a pregnant cheerleader and she says yes and that she is herself when she was in high school and Haley asks why he didn't dress up. Chase said he did and that he dressed up as a guy who keeps getting dumped and Mia leaves clearly uncomfortable. Haley asks Chase to take it easy on her because Mia is trying. Mia makes an announcement about Red Bedroom Records looking for new talent and that they are offering anyone the chance to sing tonight. Brooke and Millie walk up in costume up to the bar where Mouth is and Millie leaves immediately, stating that she is a "free bitch, baby". Brooke tells Mouth she is Lady Gaga and he offers Brooke a drink, the strongest that wasn't invented by Chase. Mouth then apologizes to Brooke about her loosing her company which Brooke takes but tells him she hasn't fully accepted it yet. Mouth responds stating he knows she will be okay because she has always fought through every obstacle. Brooke says that he is a good friend. Mouth then questions her costume, asking if she is a pumpkin. Brooke tries explaining that she is an orange in relation to one of Julian's favorite movies which Mouth doesn't understand. Behind Mouth, Brooke spots Julian and his mom in their costumes together. Julian introduces Sylvia to Chase and Sylvia asks for a drink. Chase offers to make her a special Halloween cocktail and Julian insists that she should try it. Chase then asks Julian about Alex and he says she is doing great but he knows Alex misses him. Chase asks if Alex said that but Julian doesn't respond. Changing the subject, Chase asks Julian what he has been working on and Julian reveals his documentary to him and how he has been wanting to talk to Chase about it and how he could maybe be in it. Chase tells him to let him know when Julian is ready for him. Chase brings the cocktail over to Sylvia to try and calls it the "Chase-O-Lantern" and to enjoy it. Sylvia tries it and she says its bad.

Mouth is showing off his costume to Nathan, a fake six pack, when Chase joins them and asks Mouth if he asked Nathan yet. Nathan questions this and Chase asks if he has ever high-fived Julian. Nathan says he hasn't and asks if Mouth or Chase have. Mouth admits he was the first and how it happened the other day and told Chase to try it too. Chase says he did and insists that Nathan should too. Nathan doesn't think they are being serious but Chase and Mouth convince him by saying that he will always wonder if he doesn't. Nathan walks over to Julian and he asks what he has been up to. Nathan looks back at Chase and Mouth then turns to Julian he has a great costume and offers his hand up for a high-five. Julian says right on and smack his and then follows through with his hand up in the sky. Chase and Mouth are laughing behind Nathan when Nathan nearly slips up and laughs himself. Clay and Quinn are giving out more candy at the beach house when their front porch lights shut off. Clay goes back inside to figure out the issue while Quinn stays and gives out more candy. Clay is looking for a flashlight in Quinn's nightstand when he finds the gun Quinn has been hiding. Chuck, Jamie, and Madison are comparing their piles of candy and Chuck says he won but Jamie could have gotten more if he wasn't so afraid of that one house. Jamie says he wasn't scared and Chuck insists he proved it but Jamie says they don't have anyone to take them, seeing Junk is passed out on the couch with markers all over his face with a clown look. Chuck continues to pressure Jamie and insinuates that if Jamie doesn't try, Chuck and Madison will find a new friend to hang out with. Jamie caves and all 3 of them leave the house alone and go back to the scary house. Jamie is about to go up but says the man may be asleep and decides not to go. Chuck says he's tired of Jamie being scared and goes up by himself and knocks on the door. The door swings open and someone grabs Chuck, covers his mouth, and brings him into the house. Jamie and Madison scream in fear and then run up to the porch calling for Chuck. Chuck comes out of the house with a knife on his head and a man in a mask by his side, making Jamie and Madison scream again. Chuck starts laughing and thanks the man, his uncle, for helping scare them. At Tric, a band full of clowns is performing and Haley is covering her ears and closing her eyes. They finish and Mia says that she never thanked Haley for taking her to Portland because it was very good for her. Haley says it was no big deal when a woman gets on stage and performs a song on the piano. Chase comes over to Mia and apologizes for snapping at her and tells her he knows she is trying to be a friend to him. Mia thanks him and then confesses she is glad Alex is gone because she thinks he can do better. Mouth finds Millie and asks if she is ready to go and she responds telling him she found a ride home and is just playing by his rules. The woman continues to sing and perform on the piano and as she finishes, she gets a huge round of applause and Haley congratulates her. The woman leaves saying "cheers" in a different language, the same way the woman Haley has been talking to at the crisis intervention said it.

Brooke approaches Sylvia and tells her she appreciates her help with wedding. Sylvia then tells Brooke that the color scheme should change to traditional and that Brooke should reconsider the neckline on her wedding dress. Clay is waiting for Quinn in their bedroom and Clay says to her how he wants her to take the photo assignment because he thinks it's important. Quinn asks why and Clay gives her her camera, saying that it will save her and then places the gun beside it, saying that that won't save her. Quinn tells Clay she was just scared and Clay says he knows and makes him promise he will be okay. Jamie is passed out in the living room with opened candy wrappers beside him and Nathan on the couch watching the Final Four basketball game when Haley walks in. Nathan then talks about how he will remember how it felt to choose Jamie and Haley and his family over basketball forever. Haley then asks why he is watching the game and Nathan says he needed a reminder of his life. He talks about how he always knew he was great at basketball and wonders if he will ever be good at anything else. Haley is sure he will find something else to be great at. Haley insists on watching the rest of the game even though they both know how it ends.
