-ABE LINCOLN: Previously,
on a very special Clone High.

The g*ng put on a musical

that featured a kiss
between Harriet and JFK.

Joan was totally cool with it,
but what Joan didn’t know

was that the kiss made Harriet
and JFK’s heart skip a b*at.

-The musical caused...
-(SIREN WAILING)

...the Grassy Knoll
to burn down,

so that kind of overshadowed
the kiss.

But for how long, my friends?

We’re friends, right?
Please don’t answer that.

(CHUCKLING) God,
I’ve been so needy lately.

(FIRE BLAZING)

(WIND WHOOSHING)

We are gathered here today

to mourn the end
of the Grassy Knoll.

Honestly, Joan,

it’s like a pretty nasty
s-style diner

that hearkens back to an era
that was really dark

and unpleasant for, like,
kind of a lot of people.

(CHUCKLES) I don’t understand
why every teen show has one.

Well, I love it
because it’s the only place

that hasn’t changed
since I was frozen.

Abe and I used to spend
so much time here.

-Didn’t we, Abe?
-Yeah, we were regulars.

Except when we ate the food,
then we were anything

but regular,
am I right? (CHUCKLES)

Good times with friends,

and the crappy burgers taste
exactly the same

as they did years ago.
Crappy.

-(GROANS) Oh, no. Not this.
-What is it, Joanie?

-Nothing. Somebody else talk.
-Hey, you. Look.

This isn’t a ceremony
to mourn a burnt-up building.

This is a funeral for my wife,
Curly.

-(CURLY SIZZLING)
-Wait, that’s not a party-sized

-(CURLY GROANS)

-...fell mouth first
into a cheese spout.

MOPPS: And her guts
was pumped full of the stuff.

-Then she tripped again...
-(CURLY SQUELCHES)

-...in seasoned flour
and then rolled into hot oil.
-(GROANS, SCREAMS)

MOPPS: And that’s when she got
deep-fried.

By the time I got her out,

I tried throwing parsley
on her to cool her down.

But it was too late.

(GULPS) Ugh.

But why are you wearing
such a jazzy suit to a funeral?

Curly made this.
She always dreamed

of owning an island-themed
clothing store.

So, I’m selling up here
and making her dream come true.

Gonna call the place,
"Tony Jamaica’s."

-Like, "Tommy Bahama?"
-What’s "Tommy Bahama?"

(YELLING) No!
You can’t sell the Grassy Knoll.

rebuild the Grassy Knoll.

-Abe, I have Psylly Legs.
-(SOBBING) No!

Wait, what is that?

DR. NEELANKAVIL: Psylly Legs
is named after the doctor

who first diagnosed it.
Roberta Psylly.

When the patient experiences
a build-up of nostalgia,

the patient’s legs become
what we in medicine call...

-"Psylly."

-It was and my foster dad

took me to my first concert,
John Cougar Mellencamp.

he was officially
changing his name

just started to boil up in me.

No more Cougar?

JOAN: When I was finally
diagnosed,

everyone treated me like
something to pity.

There were bake sales
to "Fix Kicksy Trixie,”

and cover the costs

of my medical grade
wooden pants.

I just wanted to be treated
like everyone else.

It was the worst time
of my life.

Wait, you were Kicksy Trixie?
I thought she d*ed.

No, I just dyed my hair

and came back to school
in regular pants.

Luckily, I realized
folk rock music wasn’t for me,

and I’ve kept my condition
hidden ever since.

I’ve given her
prescription tap shoes,

so you’ll know
when her Psylly Legs

are flaring up.

If the nostalgia grows toxic,
it could spread to her heart.

(BOTH GASP)

-And then she could die.
-(BOTH GASP)

If you hear her saying things
like, "Back in my day,"

or, "You’re ruining my
childhood,"

it may be too late.

But Psylly Heart
can be prevented.

How? I’ll do anything.

The temporary solution...

would be to rebuild
the Grassy Knoll

to keep her nostalgia at bay.

But the more permanent
solution is...

We don’t have time for that!

I’ll get everyone to help
save you, Joan.

-I’m off to tell everyone
-No! You can’t tell anyone,

and definitely not JFK.

I just got used
to being popular.

I don’t want anything
to change that.

Your secret’s safe with me.
But from now on,

let’s never keep secrets
from each other,

big or small,
no matter the consequences.

Deal. Seal it with a blood pact?

Psylly Legs

-Only via toilet seats.
-Let’s cut some fingers.

-I’m so alone.
-JFK: How many stages are there?

HARRIET: I feel like
we’re in the home stretch.

Quit looking at me! Die, tree!

I’m drowning my feelings.
It’s okay.

Thank you
for being honest with me.

I’m glad they told you.

That was so hard
keeping that secret from you.

-What?
-(SHOES TAPPING)

You knew and you didn’t tell me?

I was trying to be
a good best friend

and protect you.
That’s why I didn’t tell you.

The old Abe
wouldn’t have done that.

He would have honored
our blood pact.

And right now,
I’m nostalgic for him.

Oh, God. How do we stop this?

I need to get over
our friendship,

the same way I got over
the music of John Mellencamp.

-(JFK GASPS)
-I need to accept

that there’s change in life.
Grow, and move on.

What does that mean?

I have to let our friendship go.

(EMPLOYEE COUGHS)

I need an aspirin
and a Plan B for Mr. B.

One hundred missed calls
from Joan?

Boy, I’m glad
I had this turned off.

That would have been
very annoying.

Hey, um. You know
how you said

I wasn’t a total piece of sh*t
yesterday?

I don’t remember anything
from these trips.

Right. Okay.
(HESITATES) You know,

I remember everything
quite vividly.

Some pretty good stories
actually.

(SNORES)

That’s progress, Mr. B. (SNORES)

I’m so amazed
you got Mr. Big Corporation

to rebuild the Grassy Knoll.

Mr. Big Corporation’s
my ex-stepdad. Whatever.

I mean, sure, it looks nothing
like the original Grassy Knoll,

and it only serves Acai bowls,

but at least
it has the same name.

-Thanks, Cleo.
-(CHUCKLES) It’s not about you.

I just really missed
chucking food at nerds. (GRUNTS)

-(GROANS)
-CLEOPATRA: Yes!

Well, the only thing
from the old menu

they still let me serve
is my famous hot coffee.

Here you go. On the house.

So, what happened
to "Tony Jamaica’s"

-clothing shop?
-Ah.

Retail is just a giant hassle,

but I did at least
get some artwork out of it.

-(SIPS, SPITS)
-(SCREAMS)

-Ugh!
-(TRAY CLATTERING)

Still tastes like hot,
pukey mop water.

(SIGHS)
Oh, good to be home, Mopps.

-Good to be home!
