Hi, bestie!
So what'd you do this weekend, Molly?
Oh, Libby, I had
the cuh‐raziest Friday night‐‐
Whoo‐hoo!
‐We‐‐ ‐No no no!
You can't tell Libby about our ghost adventures.
Um, yeah.
This weekend, it was crazy.
‐Uh, because Mom... ‐Yes.
had been looking for this scented...
Rainbow Ribbon candle...
which she is just nuts for.
‐And so we just went all around town looking for... ‐[Scratch] Mm‐hmm.
‐you know, we looked in... ‐Tell her where you went.
‐in, uh, Brighton, and then Perfektborg, ‐[Scratch] A bit more.
‐Further! ‐And then Mewline,
‐Yes! ‐And then, uh...
The one with the big Paul Bunyan.
‐Oconohaw. ‐Yeah! Nailed it.
‐And? ‐Pfft! No rainbow candle! Ha.
[chuckles] That is...
...crazy!
‐[groans] ‐Hm, I give that lie
7 out of 10. Weird enough to be true,
but boring enough that there are no follow‐up questions.
Good job.
Ugh, sweet baby corn.
[Molly] Aw, I hate lying to Libby!
She's my best friend, Scratch, she should know about you.
‐I'm getting stress hives from all the lies! ‐Ahh!
Molly, don't you know that the more people know about me
‐the less scary I am. ‐[groans]
And I'll be just some friendly ghost!
But I like friendly ghosts!
Well, the Ghost Council doesn't!
If I don't keep my scares up,
they'll send me to the Flow of Failed Phantoms!
Forever!
Now, do you have any edge pieces?
The Flow of Failed Phantoms?
[Libby] Hi, Mrs. McGee!
No wonder you had trouble finding this.
‐Abe and Allie at the candle store ‐Uh‐huh?
said they've never even heard of a Rainbow Ribbon candle!
‐[grunts] ‐So here!
‐I made you one myself! ‐Thanks, I guess.
Just one question. Why...?
Why, Libby!
How thoughtful of you to make us a candle from scratch .
‐Oh, right! ‐Shh!
[sniffs] Mmm! Smells like...
‐Rainbows? ‐Welp,
you've saved the day yet again, Libby! See you later!
Ugh! [shudders]
Hmm.
Molly's hiding something.
Looks like the bloodhound of truth will have to sniff it out.
[sniffs]
[howls]
♪ What do I do?
[snores]
♪ Should I tell her The truth? ♪
Tell her what now?
♪ Should I just avoid her?
♪ That would destroy her ♪
♪ Sure, that'll do!
Bonus points.
♪ I'll be unhappy
♪ Whichever choice I choose ♪
[sighs]
♪ It's a lose‐lose
Yeah. Tough break.
Anyway, I was thinking tomorrow‐‐
♪ But she's loving and she's thoughtful ♪
♪ I can't bear to see her go ♪
♪ Aw, maybe it's best If I send her a text ♪

♪ Nobody wants to hurt her ♪
♪ But better her than me
♪ I just can't throw away A best friend ♪
♪ I refuse
♪ But I don't know what to do ♪
♪ It's a lose‐lose
But that means Libby and I can never truly be best friends.
Then it sounds like Libby needs a new best friend.
Good night!
[yawns] I had the funniest dream.
I was riding a dog, the dog started speaking French...
Whoa! Whoa! What the heck happened in here?
‐You're right, Scratch! ‐Oh!
Libby needs a new best friend!
Which is why I created Milly, Libby's new BFF!
Um, they're both pictures of you.
Well, there's a familiar resemblance,
sure, but this is clearly my Canadian cousin Milly!
You see the flag?
Clearly. Oh, yeah, I didn't see that at first.
Milly has blue‐hair
and is an exchange student staying with the McGees
Meanwhile, "Molly" will be up in‐‐ [snores]
‐Canada! ‐Ahh!
Anyhoo, what's important is that Milly and Libby's friendship
is 100% lie‐free and pure.
So as long as I keep my friendships separate, it'll be fine!
So the answer to lying to Libby about me
is to tell an even bigger lie about yourself?
It's either this or tell the truth.
Well, if it keeps me out of the Flow of Failed Phantoms
Hello, Milly!
[Libby] So, um, let me get this straight.
Molly is in Canada and you are her, uh, cousin...
Milly was it?
Yep. I'm Molly's Canadian cousin Milly.
Totally different person.
Okay, uh, Milly.
You wanna check out the dystopian fiction section?
‐[electricity crackles] ‐[bird caws]
Do I?! Unlike Molly, I am very pessimistic about the future!
[hums]
A flimsy fake friend?
The Molly mysteries multiply.
So, uh, Milly,
what part of Canada are you from?
[caws]
That's an excellent question.
And I am just about ready to tell you...
I just need to take a little quick trip to the Little Mountie's room.
Scratch!
I need your help.
I don't know anything about Canada!
All right, fine, I'll help.
So, yes! Aboot where I'm from‐‐
Nepean, Ontario.
It's Nepean, which is in Ontario.
Ontario, huh? Close to Toronto?
273 miles northeast.
273 miles northeast to be exact.
"Miles"? Hmm. Don't Canadians‐‐
Kilometers! They use kilometers!
Soorry, I, heh, converted it to miles for you,
my new American friend. Eh?
You do seem to be very knowledgeable about Canada.
Ah, an American cheeseburger and fries.
In Canada we have...
uh, p‐p‐poutine!
Oh, well, you must be homesick for the Great White North.
‐I know how much Canadians love maple syrup. ‐[all gasp]
Didn't you say you thought maple syrup
‐tasted like a tree's tears? ‐Yup!
All Canadians love maple syrup, eh?
[chuckles] A little taste of home.
And a bonus just for you!
[all] Eww!
I can't wait... [chuckles]
I can't wait. Yum.
[gags]
[chomps, gulps]
[gasps]
Honestly, that's not bad. I'd have another one.
So what are we doing next, best friend Libby?
Oh, you're going to love it, Milly.
[cringes]
Which cup hides the ball?
Is it under one?
Or under all?
‐Magic?! ‐Come on, Milly.
Pick up a cup. There's no way you could hate
close‐up magic like your cousin Molly, right?
Course that would be... ridiculously coincidental.
Hey, wow. It's this cup. which is stupid.
This cup.
Fine! This cup!
[laughs]
The ball is gone as if by... magic!
Magic. So fun!
So whimsical!
Aw, you are super great, Milly.
Maybe even a better friend than Molly!
Ha ha. Wow! What a nice compliment.
For Milly. Who is me. I love it!
[inhales] Milly's gotta go.
Okay, Milly's out.
But I've workshopped a backstory
for Libby's new new best friend:
Mally from Tallahassee.
No, Scratch!
My skin can't handle another lie!
Okay! But you know, Mally, has a talking cockatiel
named Paul. So... your loss.
Bye, Mally!
I'm out of options!
I feel bad. Like what you're going through
is a tiny bit my fault.
‐So can I tell Libby then?! ‐What? No!
Where'd you get that idea?!
[sighs] Then I have no choice.
I can't ever see Libby again.
[doorbell rings]
[Mrs. McGee] Hey, Libby! Come on in!
The house is compromised!
Okay, we'll hide here until she goes away.
‐[knock on door]
Oof!
‐You still can't do that? ‐[door opens]
Hey, Molly? I mean, Milly?
I just wanted to talk to you about‐‐ Just‐‐ Milly?
Ooh!
Hmm.
[playful jazz]
[sniffs]
[sighs]
We finally shook Libby. Ha.
‐[Libby] Or did you?! ‐Ahh!
Once the bloodhound of truth gets your scent,
there's no hiding.
"The bloodhound of‐‐" Aww! Is that you?
Is that what you call yourself?
I'll ask the questions!
I know what you're hiding, Molly.
Your big secret.
‐You do? ‐She does?
Okay, let me explain,
you see, I'm not Molly or Milly,
I'm actually, uh...
Mally! From Tallahassee!
Paul can be here in five minutes.
No more lies!
I know the truth! You have...
an Eastern Canadian brain slug!
‐A what? ‐Oh, wow.
She really went off in a totally different direction, huh?
It all adds up! Your impeccable Canadian accent?
The slug's native tongue!
The hives? Obviously, an allergic reaction to slug mucus!
I found some on your window sill.
Your super cool wig?
To hide the slug itself!
Reveal yourself, slimy puppet master!
I don't have a brain slug.
I actually don't think they exist.
Oh. I was really hoping it was a brain slug.
Because otherwise, there's only one thing it could be.
‐You don't want to be my friend. ‐What?!
No, Libby, I swear that's not it!
What else could it be?
This has happened before.
‐I just thought you were different. ‐Uh, uh‐‐
‐I have to tell her! ‐That's a hard no!
I can't keep living this way, Scratch!
Please?
Okay, fine. But just Libby.
Wait, no! The truth is... [sighs]
I have been hiding something.
Someone, actually.
[unenthusiastically] Ahh! It's a ghost!
‐[gasps] ‐[thuds]
Happy now?
Thank you.

[Libby groans]
Boo!
W‐what?
Libby, this is Scratch.
He loves tacos, napping, and acting grouchy
but really he's a big squishy marshmallow, aren't you, bud?
You're so squishy! [laughs]
[Scratch] Come on, I'm not a toy!
And Scratch, this is Libby! She‐‐
Yeah, obsessed with turtles, lousy at softball,
way too deep in conspiracy theories.
I'm familiar with the Lib.
Supernatural theory number 37 confirmed.
Ghosts do exist! And they're rude.
[sighs] Finally the truth is out!
Now my two BFFs can be BFFs together!
Whoa whoa whoa,
I do not need or want
to be friends with Libby.
Same. I'm very particular
about who I let into my friend circle.
Not everyone has to like each other all the time, Moll.
Um, yes, they do!
More friends equals more fun!
‐[both] Mm‐mm. ‐Okay, fine!
We'll just let this friendship flower bloom naturally.
With no interference from me whatsoever.
[dramatic music]
Ooh.
My space feels violated.
[Molly] Meet me at the softball field
after school for a super fun surprise.
Love, your best friend Molly.
Ha! I knew I was her best friend!
Molly?!
Why would she call me to a softball field?
She knows I'm allergic to organized sports.
[both] What are you doing here?
Molly wanted me to meet her for a super fun surprise
because I'm her best friend.
Oh, no.
This isn't a super fun surprise.
This is a Molly scheme.
[cell phone vibrates]
Hello, my friends.
I'm speaking to you through
the magic of pre‐recorded video!
Why? Because I know all you two need is
some quality time together
so you can both see how amazing you both are!
[both] Oh, no.
So I've put together a scavenger hunt!
Nope! I don't have time for this.
Oh, you've got nothing but time, Scratch!
[Molly chuckles] I knew he was gonna say that.
‐She's good. ‐Now the first clue is under first base.
Be sure to snap a friendship selfie at each location
for our three‐way BFF scrapbook!
Happy bonding!
‐Ahh! ‐Oof!
Ah, come on! I'm gonna be picking this out for days!
[Molly] Wow, you're so smart Libby! We're gonna be best pals!
Yes, Scratch, this scavenger hunt
is already bringing us together!
Molly is a genius!
That's definitely Molly in the Lemming costume, right?
Undoubtedly.
So if I know Molly... and I do.
‐So do I! ‐We'll see.
Then I know she put a ton of work into this.
And she won't stop bugging us
until we at least pretend to try.
Ugh, fine. Let me see that clue.
"Strawberries are pink, chocolate is brown,
ice cream is the best, and so is having friends around."
Gee, I wonder where we're supposed to go.
[bell rings]
Your little friend asked me to read you this.
One second. [clears throat]
"Your next clue is yummy and nice,
you'll find it within this creamed ice."
Uh, okay.
Ugh. Her poetry is rough.
[camera clicks]
Still I gotta hand it to Molly.
If there's one thing that'll make me tolerate another person,
it's ice cream.
Hey! One of those was for me!
I didn't see your name on it. [burps]
I do not know what Molly sees in you.
Bloom, you beautiful friendship flower, bloom!
Molly loves me just as I am.
‐We're basically family. ‐Eh, she could do better.
She could do worse. Case in point.
"Through all our adventures,
you've proved yourselves gallant‐‐"
"‐‐and I think you're both so full of‐‐"
"Talent!" Ha! Beat you!
[blows raspberry] I mean, whatever.
Not like it's a competition or something.
Of course, Molly included this.
She knows how important the talent show was to me.
That was the day I found my voice.
Ooh, I heard that voice.
Any chance you can lose it again?
What?! You know about my singing voice?
Uh, shyeah!
Molly and I go everywhere together‐‐
the park, the school, your house
when you reveal your deepest darkest secrets...
You weren't there when I told her about what happened
at Andrea's sleepover in 3rd grade, were you?
Pro‐Tip: Don't drink so much water before bed.
All right, tinkles?
Aw, I can't believe Molly let me spill my shame
while you were there.
Maybe we're not as close as I thought.
I mean, she did keep an entire secret friend to herself.
‐Yes, she did! Smile! ‐[camera clicks]
Ah, a classic Molly‐Scratch milestone.
This is where I saved her life from a dangerous ghost!
Yeah, more like a Molly‐ Libby milestone!
I'm the one who told her Sally Tugbottom
was the true hero of Brighton!
Eh, big deal!
I introduced her to Abe Lincoln.
[laughs] Maybe you've heard of him?
‐[camera clicks] ‐Hey, you may know fancy ghosts but I know Molly.
Our friendship was forged in the fires of shared trauma.
We defeated Howlin' Harriet together!
Please. You crafted toes out of cocktail weenies.
‐Ah! ‐[camera clicks]
But have you ever possessed
a bus full of Korean popstars for her?
‐[camera clicks] ‐No, and I don't need to.
Because Molly chooses to be my friend.
‐Whereas she's cursed with you. ‐[camera clicks]
Well I mean, yeah, technically we're cursed together...
but that doesn't mean she wouldn't be friends with me
because, you know, I got a lot of attributes.
Face it, buster, if you were her real best friend,
‐she wouldn't need me. ‐[camera clicks]

Huh. Yeah.
I guess we do.
Did someone call‐‐ Ahh!
I have questions.
First, how'd you get in here?
Second, I'm the real best friend, right?

Oof! Ah! Every time!

‐Okay, I wouldn't want to talk to me either. ‐[hums]
I said some mean things 'cause, well...
‐[sings] ‐I don't want to lose Molly to you.
You're cooler than I want to admit.
She likes you a lot. And I get why.

we're both going to lose Molly!

Ooh! This is why you're both my best friends!
I mean, perhaps we were a little quick
to judge each other.
Yeah. Maybe more friends... is more fun?
