During the events of Are You Afraid of the Dark?: Season 1 Episode 13 The Tale of the Pinball Wizard played by Polly Shannon

Ross walks to the front of Olson's and Sophie asks him if Mr. Olson is there. Ross tells her no and Sophie tells him that she left her music box at the store to be repaired and it was supposed to be ready. Ross asks what it looks like and when Sophie asks him if he really works there, Ross tells her that he is in charge. Ross finds the music box, which is shaped like a throne and finally admits to Sophie that he doesn’t actually work at the store and is just looking after it for Mr. Olson. He tells her that Mr. Olson will be back in an hour and Sophie says she will come back and thanks Ross before leaving. Later, Ross hears someone shouting for help and sees Sophie dressed in a princess outfit being grabbed by the Sheriff.

Sophie tells Ross to grab the tiara from the vault and drops a key. On the second floor, Sophie yells at Ross to follow her and Ross runs after her, but after opening a door, is confronted by the Witch. While Sophie is being carried away by the Executioner, she yells at Ross to save the tiara and get the throne. Ross hears Sophie calling him and she tells him to get to the music box. Ross runs back to Olson's and hears a muffled sound and finds Sophie chained to a chair. He uses the key to unlock the chains, and Ross asks Sophie what is going on. She tells him there is no time to explain and Sophie grabs her music box. The Executioner attacks them with a mace, and they run out of the store. Sophie uses the music box to make the tiara disappear from the witch’s hands and then Sophia hides the music box. The Executioner attacks them again and Sophie tells Ross that he needs to play the game and get the Executioners mace. Ross grabs the mace when the Executioner gets it stuck on a trash can and he and Sophie run away. Sophie tells Ross that they have to find the tiara so Sophie can be crowned.

They get the tiara but are found by the Witch. Ross throws the pinballs at the Witch, and she falls to the ground, but the Sheriff grabs Sophie. Sophie throws the tiara and tells Ross to get it and bring it to the third level. Ross goes to the third floor and just as the Sheriff is about to be crowned on the throne, Ross shows up. The Sheriff tells him that he has lost, and Ross says her never loses. Ross sprays the Wrestler, and Suit Zombies with water causing them to disappear. The Sheriff attacks Ross and knocks the super soaker out of his hand. The Sheriff tells him the game isn’t over until all the characters are gone and Ross pulls out a mini soaker and shoots the Sheriff with it, causing him to disappear. Sophie tells him that he did it and then sits on the throne. Ross places the crown on Sophie and is returned back to the first floor of the mall.
