As Gigi grants the wish, she disappears in flash of light and unintentionally releases Whisp. With the shadow genie, she sees the opportunity of another eclipse and follows the ghouls unseen.
The ghouls later arrive at the Maul to fang out as Gigi elaborates of Howleen’s twelve remaining wishes and how there is a ‘dark side’ to using them. However seeing Howleen too excited about using her wishes, Clawdeen advises Howleen to take Gigi’s words seriously. Howleen, however, takes it defensively and runs off with the lantern while annoyed of her sister. Later back at Monster High, Draculaura helps Abbey Bominable run against Slo-Mo for Student Disembodied President while Frankie shows Gigi around Monster High. Despite the argument earlier, Howleen began taking the advise and began to help her friends by granting their wishes: Lagoona turns from ‘Saltwater’ to ‘Freshwater’ for Gil Webber ’s parents to like her, Clawd Wolf along with Heath Burns and Manny Taur get casted on the show ‘Die trying’ and Abbey becomes the new disembodied president.

However, Whisp reminds her about the rules and Howleen uses her next wish to become popular.
While enjoying her new wish of popularity, Howleen offers to wish the same for Twyla. Twyla politely turns her down, not comfortable with all he attention. Howleen then leaves her behind and continues being chastised by Cleo De Nile. Frankie then talks with Gigi about her life in the lantern and discovers that she’s lonely and will leave Monster High after the last wish is granted. Not wanting her new friend to leave, Frankie vows to help change Gigi’s life. As the days pass on around Monster High, some of the side-effects of the wishes begin to take effect around the school and causing problems. Twyla then confides to tell Frankie and Gigi that Howleen was beginning to not act like herself and she senses something within the shadows. Frankie asks if Gigi knows anything, but Gigi sadly tells that she cannot say anything due to the Lantern’s magic. Frankie and Twyla then try to find out on their own what was wrong with Howleen, but get’s dismissed thanks to Whisp. Cleo then appears and irks Howleen enough to wish for Cleo to be turned into a nobody. Clawdeen later sees how Howleen dismisses her friends and finally confronts her of what she was doing. Howleen listens and is about to help after summoning Gigi but is disheartened when she hears Clawdeen doesn’t think she’s mature enough. She then uses her next wish to make Clawdeen disappear into the lantern, leaving her shadow behind and giving Whisp more power.
Frankie, Draculaura and Ghoulia notice the changes and later finds Gigi crying in the garden. Gigi is reluctant to explain (even when learning of the upcoming eclipse) that she is not allowed to influence the finder, but Frankie and Ghoulia points out that they are not the finder and Gigi should be able to tell them. Gigi realizes they are right before leading the ghouls away to the attic to explains everything about Whisp and how Clawdeen got banished to the lantern. She also warns them of Whisp’s plan to use the eclipse and one of Howleen’s wishes to gain all the power to banish everyone and replace them with shadow versions to rule the world. Wanting to save their friends, Frankie and the others help devised a plan to help Clawdeen get out and is given an exit orb to use to get out of the lantern. They later find Howleen and Shadow Clawdeen in the bathroom and confront her to purposely be wished to the lantern to find Clawdeen, unknowingly leaving their shadow versions behind. Gigi then leaves Howleen alone, alerting her of how many wishes remains.

Meanwhile in Monster High, Twyla is watching from the shadows of any way to help Howleen while reluctantly helping Cleo regain her popularity and Deuce Gorgon’s love. The shadow ghouls then make their move into help Howleen take over the school by replacing Bloodgood with herself as Headmistress and banishing Abbey and Cleo to the lantern, who then join the other ghouls to finding the mirror pieces. The monsters prepare for an eclipse party where Whisp is setting up for Howleen to use her next wish to grant all power to the shadow genie. Twyla follows Howleen and sees that Whisp is the one controlling her. After finding twelve piece, the ghouls find Whisp’s room and realize she has the last piece. After nearly losing the exit orb, Frankie gets it back and returns to Monster High with the other ghouls on magic carpets in time for the eclipse.

Howleen awakes in time and rejoins her ghouls without making the wish, cause Whisp to fail once again.
The ghouls rejoin Howleen, grateful that she is alright. Howleen is grateful her friends never gave up on her as Gigi assures its safe for Howleen to use her last two wishes. Howleen uses the first one to undo all of her previous wishes, much to the delight of Monster High. Gigi is joined by a defeated wish, explaining the last wish will send them both back into the lantern. The monsters are reluctant to let Gigi go and ask for her to stay. Gigi expresses she would love to, but cannot as long as she’s bound to the lantern. Howleen then suggests another way as she explains to Whisp she understood her plight before making her last wish for Whisp to become what she always wanted: a real genie. Gigi happily grants the wish, freeing herself and allowing Whisp to become the new genie of the lantern. Whisp leaves with the lantern and falls down into the deep end pool where it will be found again someday.
A party is then held later then night to celebrate the eclipse, featuring a concert performed by Catty Noir.
