I'm hiding from Gideon.
- Oh, sorry. [laughs]
Why are you hiding from Gideon?!
[smacks face] Ow.
- Gideon is out of control these days.
He's constantly asking me out,
calling me "Boo,"
or "Boo Bear,"
or "Boo Brontosaurus Rex."
- He can't possibly be worse than Sarah.
Ever since I stopped dating Allison,
she won't leave me alone.
So, I had to break out this.

- Chloe's make-up mirror?
- Yes.
Back when I had a band
and dreamed of being a rock star,
I was gonna use it to avoid crazy fans.
Now, I use it to avoid my craziest fan of all.
- Hey, Max! - MAX: [gasps]
- You have a crazy fan?
That must be so annoying.
Anyway, I got you this little beehive.
- Oh, I get it, Sarah--
because you're Max's honey.
- Did he say that?!
Did you say that? [laughs]

- Are there bees in that thing?
- Oops! Looks like there were
a couple of little guys left in there.

Sting me, instead!

she teleported everything out of the house
to try to find it.
- Including my slide.
I had to use the stairs like an animal.
- I'm gonna go hide my homework.
- Where do I hide them, Phoebe?
- Barb, we panic every time Chloe loses that blanket.
Maybe there's another way we can handle this.
- No, when she's ready to give up
the blanket, she will.
Now make with the muscles and lift up the couch.
Oh! Found it!
- CHLOE: [whooshing] Found what?
- The...kitchen...
