Clones

The latest weirdness of O'Grady is a clone appearing after you, say, scream, or become really angry. Beth and Abby's clones bonded right away, Kevin's clone is the newest guitarist in Kevin and Harold's band, and Mr. Lipschitz has, oddly enough, ultimately musters up about 10 clones by the end of the episode [[ seeing as how he has a lot of "withheld anger" issues ]]. Meanwhile, Mr. Lipschitz pairs the class up and assigns a school debate. Kevin and Abby debate Conformity/Communism vs. Individuality, respectively. Everything goes as usual, they bicker back and forth continually, until something happens that makes Kevin and Abby want to hurl: their clones start to date. Their priorities change when they realize this dire situation, and do everything to talk them out of it. And Harold attempts repeatedly to attain his own clone, doing everything in his power to get mad. But he just can't do it! Angry at his situation, and mad at himself for failing, he builds up into one long, agitated scream. ..And out of him comes a clone, just as shocked as he is! Surprised at this sight, he screams again, as does the clone, and he pops out of existence. Harold has just discovered something.... Just as the clones are all enjoying themselves, he grabs a couple of air-horns and busts through the class, screaming! And there goes every single double in the room. Pop. Happy to finally rid the clones, the town uses more air-horns to blast them away. Leaving Harold hearing-impaired.

Party Gong

Yet again the Weirdness returns, the latest case being random memory loss. This can be given to anyone, at anytime, no matter what they're doing. Everyone.... except Kevin, that is. [[He's, for some reason, impervious to it and hasn't been affected.]] Of course, Kevin uses everyone's vulnerability to his advantage and arranges a party at Beth's house. Meanwhile, Harold has finally obtained his first number... from a GIRL! Only thing is, the sudden amnesia eventually gets to him, too, causing him to blank out on the name of the gal and where the digits came from. He spends the entire party finding this mystery lady, only with no success. Beth deals with the uproarious mob of barbaric high school students at her house, and Abby copes with the fact of, *gulp*, NOT being invited to dreamy Pete Klesko's huge, college-kids-included shindig and a scary case of sunless tanner incidents. Amidst this chaos, Harold continues his search for the girl with the handwriting matching the note. Ultimately, it all comes together: Abby scares Pete away... a lot more than usual, Harold finds his admirer: Iris. Only it's not for sweet love, it's a note to pick her up for the bash after work. An angry Iris [[ who's now walked miles to get to Beth's ]] explains all of this, storms out of the house, and leaves Harold on his knees, screaming after her: "Harold's gonna treat you... ri-hight!!" Phillip, in fact, develops a list of when EXACTLY the Weirdness will strike and which group the next victims will be. Ironically, he was in the very next group..... And after the guests leave, and Mrs. Briggs returns home, Kevin, smugly let's her in on the evening's happenings, including every single rule Beth and the company has broken. Once the screaming ensues, Kevin begins the countdown.... "...2...1." Beth's mom has forgotten all, to the amazement of Harold, Beth, and Abby. But someone else was included in that next random-forget-all group.... Kevin.
