Betty Ann starts telling her tale about an amusement park called Playland. One of the amusements was a spook house called Laughing in the Dark. Girl 1 and Girl 2 are walking through Laughing in the Dark when they come to a room full of numbered doors. They open the door numbered 6 and Zeebo pops out and Girl 1 and Girl 2 scream.

Kristen stands up and says she is leaving. Frank asks her what is the matter and Betty Ann says she was just starting the story. Kristen says she hates clowns. Eric makes fun of Kristen as does Kiki. Kristen then sits back down. Gary tells Betty Ann to start from the beginning and hands her the sack of powdery material and Betty Ann pours some of it on the fire and starts her tale over.

As she is telling the story, Frank asks Betty Ann what sort of things were in the spook house and she continues her tale. Kiki again taunts Kristen, who is forcing Gary and Eric to sit close to her, and Betty Ann continues her tale. Betty Ann finishes the tale and Frank thinks the Carney was Zeebo, but Gary doesn't think so. David thinks the Carney was Zeebo's ghost and Kiki agrees with his idea. Kiki taunts Kristen one more time and Eric scares Kristen with a clown mask and everyone runs off as Gary puts out the fire.

As Kristen is walking through the woods to the meeting, David stops her and gives her a birthday present. She thanks him and tells him that she will open it after the meeting. As Eric is doing a trick for Kiki, Frank almost makes him choke and Gary has to separate them from fighting. Betty Ann hands David the sack of powdery material and he introduces his tale by saying that it has to do with two very different kids and a love so strong it can survive death.

During his tale, Kristen asks David where Beth was when Amanda came home, and he tells her that Beth was at Sally's house the entire night and Aunt Dottie was working late. Frank comments that now Amanda was alone with Nanny who he thinks is a lunatic, but Eric thinks Beth just told Amanada that to scare her. David says that when Aunt Dottie came home, Amanda told her everything that happened.

David ends his tale and the meeting ends. Frank offers to buy Eric a soda to make amends. Before they leave, Kristen opens the present David gave to her and inside is a locket. Kristen puts it on and kisses David on the cheek and they catch up with the others.
