Molly: I've been accused of optimistic overstatements before, but today is truly special because it's Friday! ♪It's F-R-I Day♪ ♪Best day of the week!♪ ♪Except for every other day, Friday is the peak!♪

Libby: [sighs] I wish I could join your jubilation, Molly. But today is Friday the 13th.

[thunder roars]

Libby: My usually bad luck will be extra terrible. [Gets shocked by lightning]

Molly: Pffff, luck's not a real thing! And Friday the 13th is just hokey superstition!

Scratch: Sorry, Moll. Libby's right. Luck is very real.

[wind blows]

Scratch: Case in point.

Libby: It has begun.

Scratch: Normally, good and bad luck co-exist in harmony, two sides of a perfectly balanced scale. But on Friday the 13th, everything is amplified. People with bad luck, like our friend Libster here, are extra unlucky.

Libby: [grunts] Uhgh! Take my dollar 25 and my dignity.

Scratch: Meanwhile, people with good luck are extra lucky!

Molly: Wow! Two bags of chips?

Libby: [sigh] Lucky you.

Molly: [gasps] Scratch! Can you use your ghosty powers to give Libby good luck?

Libby: Please Scratch, please! To be free of bad luck, just for a day!

Scratch: I mean, I could feel radically transfer it--

Molly: Great, heard enough! Transfer my luck to Libby!

Scratch: Whoa! These are powerful magic forces, Moll. You can't just expect me to--

Molly: I'll give you these Fireblast Jalapeno crunchies--

Scratch: Done, no take backs!

Scratch: Now, some would consider a lucky penny cliche, but I like to think of it as tastefully classic. Now gimme some room. [vocal warm-ups] [clears throat] A ghostly ghoul gifted great guavas to a gander of ghastly geese. I HEREBY TIP THE SCALES OF FORTUNE,

Libby: He's so dramatic when he curses.

Molly: I know. Isn't it cute?

Scratch: ...AND TRANSFER THE LUCK OF MOLLY MCGEE INTO THIS PENNY! WHOEVER HAS THE PENNY WILL HAVE GOOD LUCK TODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!

Libby: I actually caught it! It didn't hit me in the face and I didn't accidentally swallow it! My luck's already turned around!

Scratch: Wow. These Fireblast Jalapeno Crunchies really live up to their name. [crunch] Listen to that crunch. Ah. Whoa. Ooh, spicy on the back end. It really sneaks up on ya there!

Molly: Aw, what? Come on! There's gum on my shoe!

Libby: [sniffing] I'd be more concerned with your other shoe.

Scratch: [sniffing] Eww. Smells like Mister Bates brought the corgis to school again.

Molly: [sniffs] Ugh!

[upbeat music playing]

Singer: ♪Good luck!♪

♪ Bad Luck!♪

Molly: Ahh!

Singer: ♪Two cosmic forces Diametrically opposed♪

♪It's good luck!♪

♪Bad luck!♪

♪One hits the jackpot♪

♪While the other Hits her nose♪

♪Watch her go♪

♪She can't help but succeed♪

♪Meanwhile, She's about to realize♪

♪Where that dog just peed♪

Molly: Ugh! Seriously?

Singer: ♪Good luck, Score a goal♪

♪Bad luck, unseen hole♪

♪It's all about control♪

♪It all comes down to luck♪

[crunch]

Libby: This has been the best day of my life! Thanks for donating your good luck, Molly.

Molly: Yeah. I'm happy for you, Libby. But now I understand why you hate Friday the 13th.

Scratch: Been a pretty good day for me, though. [stomach rumbles] Yup. You know, I thought messing with luck was bound to spiral out of control and lead to universe-threatening peril, but nope. Everything is a fine. Rules. Who needs 'em? [burps]

Molly: Yelp!

Libby: [gasp] No. My lucky penny!

Ice Cream Lady: Oh, our digital payment system just went down. So this one's on the house!

Andrea: Free ice cream? Wow! Must be my lucky day!

[all gasp]

Scratch: Uh, this is bad.

Molly: What? So, Andrea has the penny, can't you just whip up another one?

Scratch: No, no, no, you don't get it. Andrea's already lucky.

Andrea: I mean, I could buy this whole stand with my allowance, but I super appreciate the gesture.

Scratch: So? With the lucky penny, her luck will hit critical mass and create a Luck Suck, a vortex that will suck in all luck until there's none left!

Molly & Libby: [both] Oh.

Andrea: Oh, my gosh. Thank you.

Kat: [scream]

Scratch: It's already started.

[upbeat music playing]

Mrs. Roop: Ahh! Help!

Principal O'Connor: Phew. Aww, my favorite shirt!

Mrs. Roop: [screaming]

Scratch: This is exactly why I didn't want to mess with cosmic forces! And all for one bag of chips!

Molly: It was two.

Scratch: Oh, right. That's totally worth it! [scream] Only way to stop the burn is to keep eating! Ah. That's science.

Molly: So we have to get that penny back from Andrea, or everyone in Brighton will lose their luck?

Scratch: Yeah, basically.

Libby: Well then, obviously we need to--oomph!

Libby: We need to--

Libby: We need--

Molly: You have enough problems right now, Libby. Scratch and I will fix this!

Scratch: Geez, they're like magnets!

[groans]

Molly: I'll just sneak up and grab the penny, right? How hard could it be?

Andrea: Aw! Is that for me?

[car crashes]

Molly: Ahhh!

Molly & Scratch: [both screaming]

Libby: Oh, come on. Spare me just once! Not the bags. Not the bags!

Molly: You got this, Scratch! Pilfer that purloined penny!

Maxwell: Button! You're home! [whistles] One of our business associates was offloading an extra pony. And we thought "Wouldn't that make a neat 'Just Because' surprise?"

Andrea: I'm so lucky!

Molly: Go, Scratch! Now!

Scratch: [grunts] Such a small pony. Such big pain.

[beeps]

Andrea: Greetings Fawn-dreas. I'm having a particularly good day. But what am I going to do tonight? Two Atomic Pink backstage passes! Hashtag lucky me, Hashtag grateful, Hashtag I deserve it! Who wants to come with?

[crowd cheering]

Molly & Scratch: [grunting]

Scratch: Ah. It's no use! Andrea's luck is protecting her!

Molly: Oh, if only there was a way to counteract her good luck.

Scratch: We'd need something or someone really unlucky.

Libby: Ahh! I hate Friday the 13th!

Scratch: You know, I wish we'd thought of this before we got kicked by that stupid pony.

Libby: Oh, wait. You're saying I can fix this?

Scratch: It's the only way Libby! We have to harness the power of your bad luck for good.

Molly: Your bad, bad luck.

Libby: If it's bad luck you need, then I'm your woman! Let's do-- Can I not have one second to feel heroic?

[tornado blowing]

[door beeps]

[horn blows]

Store Worker: Congratulations on being our 1,000th customer! Please treat this accolade with the honor it deserves.

[door beeps]

Molly: You can do this, Libby. Let's get our luck back!

[crash]

Libby: Hi, uh, Andrea? So, um, I'm collecting change for, uh, a good cause?

Andrea: What's the cause?

Libby: Uh, children with... too many toys?

Andrea: Ugh, I know the feeling.

Molly, Scratch & Libby: Really?

Andrea: Yeah, it's, like, where do you put them all? You only have so many guest rooms, right? Anyway, I am feeling extra generous today because more good things than usual keep happening to me.

[ominous music playing]

[electricity crackles]

[thunder roars]

Andrea: Sadly... I don't carry cash, I'm strictly digital. Oh, but hang on. I have this tiny brown quarter. Might be Canadian? Would you want that?

Libby: Yes! Thank you!

Molly & Scratch: [both] No!

Libby: Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Store Worker: Wait! There's been a serious math error. You're actually the 999th customer! Give those back! You didn't earn these!

Molly: It worked! The Luck Suck's gone!

Scratch: Wahoo!

Molly: You saved the day, Libby!

Libby: Yeah. It was nice being lucky for a bit, but wow, is it high pressure. Besides, if I'm lucky enough to have friends like you, that's all the luck I need.

Molly: Aww!

Scratch: Now gimme that penny before you two cause any more damage. [clears throat] I HEREBY RE-BALANCE THE SCALES OF FORTUNE...

Libby: He really leans into the performance.

Molly: And no formal training.

Scratch: ...AND TRANSFER THIS PENNY'S LUCK BACK TO MOLLY MCGEE!

Molly: I'm sorry, Scratch. I shouldn't have pressured you into messing with luck.

Scratch: Yeah. That's what I tried to tell you! But you had to resort to bribery, didn't you? You know I can't say jalepen-NO to these delectable spice bombs! I'm starting to think you're a bad influence.

Libby: So, does that mean our luck's back to normal, or?

[explosion]

[car alarm beeping]

Scratch: Yes. Yes, it is.
