Melissa dresses up as the Grim Reaper, Jason dresses up as an Insurance Salesman and Brendon dresses up as a fish after finding out Mr. Lynch was going to wear his first costume idea. As the kids prepare for Halloween, Linda prepares to give birth. As Brendons father is out of town she stays over at Brendons house. Coach McGuirk, dressed as a woman for Halloween, gets an unexpected yet eventually familiar visitor who not only tries to convert him to a new religion but puts him in cardiac arrest. As Mr.Lynch, Melissa and Jason wait for Brendon to go trick-or-treating Linda goes into labor thus postponing their Halloween plans. The stories overlap one another at the hospital where McGuirk is getting tested, Linda's in labor while her and Brendon shout profane remarks to one another, Melissa slaps Jason out of his crazed candy addiction and Mr. Lynch falls down a flight of stairs while he "meows" his way through the hospital looking for Melissa and Jason. In the end everyone gathers to see the new baby.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- The gnome appears in this episode with a black shirt and a witch's hat next to the Smalls' cauldron of candy. Edit
- Paula's friend Stephanie first appeared in the first-season episode "Law and Boarders." However, she didn't meet Coach McGuirk until the second season finale "The Wedding." Edit
- When the baby (the one all ready born) is dressed up like The Devil, one of her curls is turned upsidedown, from a 9 to a 6. With the hood on, 666 is written across her forehead, which is the mark of the Beast, or the sign of The Devil. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Tom Kenny, considered Home Movies biggest guest star, lends his voicing talent as the doctor. Edit
- Brendon's Filmography: "Brendon Jr.'s Birth" – Brendon's falied attempt to capture Linda's birth. Edit
- This is the lost Season 3 finale, meaning it did not air right after "Stow A Way", as it should have, but rather 6 months later. Edit
