She is getting to know Howleen better and thinks she is not so bad, Clawdeen also has been balancing fearleading practice with casketball, and this is easy for her, During the training, Heath throws the ball and misses it. which leaves him angry, when Clawdeen tells him that casketball is just for fun. The rest of the team is in shock and horrified with what Clawdeen said, while she is confused. Then lightings strike and a green fog surrounds everyone, then they all fall on the ground. Clawdeen still is clueless about what is happening until Deuce claims that when she said casketball is just for fun, she blasphemed the spirits of the casketball creators, and now the casketball team is jinxed. Clawdeen doesn't believe in jinxes, but when she throws the ball for Ghoulia to catch, it bumps on her face. Clawdeen still doesn't believe the team is jinxed and throws the ball to Lagoona. The latter runs with the ball to make a score, but she accidentaly leaves water on the floor, making Deuce and Heath slip and fall, and when Lagoona tries to throw the ball in the casket hoop, she gets stucked in it. Now Clawdeen believes they are jinxed.

Later in the dressing room, the team is about to have a game. Deuce believes they can win, and the team believe it. But they lose the game very bad. Clawdeen blames herself and decides to fix everything, then Deuce stops her and says they are a team, so they will help her, the others agree. Clawdeen's plan is to go to the library and learn more about the casketball team creators, but the rest of the team gets coldfeet and leave. But Deuce claims he will help Clawdeen, and she is grateful to him. As the two leave, Howleen says she will do her own research. In the library, Manny brings to Clawdeen and Deuce all the books about casketball the library has. He has read a few of the books, it says casketball was created by Modirah and Gakaiju, two Kaiju, former students of Monster High who are very competitive, super vindictive and used to cast jinxes on their rivals. Clawdeen suggests talking to them to get ris of the kinx, and Manny recommends reading chapter 6, which teaches about communicating with Kaiju. After preparing everything, Clawdeen peforms a ritual, after she recites the ritual, Modirah and Gakaiju are summoned. They already know who Clawdeen is and claim only casketball will decide her fate. The two dare Clawdeen and her team to a ultimate casketball game, if they win the jinx is removed, but if Modirah and Gakaiju win, the school's team will never play casketball again.

In the dressing room, the rest of the team already knows everything. Clawdeen thinks they shouldn't do it, because this is too serious, and casketball should be fun. Howleen shouts for her to stop saying this, but Lagoona agrees with Clawdeen, claiming she won't let the casketball creators ruin her fun. The whole team is in and leave. Clawdeen and Howleen stay behind. Howleen tells her teammate she discovered a ritual that can pass a jinx to someone else, she plans on using a crystal to transfer the jinx to Modirah and Gakaiju. Clawdeen doesn't think this is fair, but Howleen claims the creators deserve after what they did, so Clawdeen reluctantly agrees. The casketball team is already in the court, with Draculaura, Manny and Spectra as the audience. Modrirah and Gakaiju arrive, showing their competitive side, and are absolutely sure they will win. They start with Deuce and Howleen against the kaiju duo, the kaiju's big sizes and the team's jinx make things hard for the school's team, as Deuce trips and drops his glasses, acidentally turning Howleen's feet into stone temporaly. The kaiju has already made 97 points while Monster High's team has made no point yet. Clawdeen is holding the crystal, when Gakaiju almost notices it, but Howleen hides Clawdeen's hand with pum-pums and claims the latter is just getting ready for halftime. Clawdeen, Draculaura and Toralei peform a little as fearleaders, trying to cheer Spectra and Manny, but they are not excited with what is happening.

After a few more rounds, Modirah and Gakaiju had already made 108 points, while the casketball team still has made no points. Howleen tells Clawdeen to use the crystal. The latter and Lagoona play against the kaiju, Clawdeen tries several times to touch the kaiju with the crystal to transfer the kinx to them, but she missed. After the Modirah and Gakaiju made a few more points, they are distracted, so Clawdeen tries one more to use the crystal. But when she sees the two kaiju power bumping with each other and laughing, and then her classmates depressed, she stops. Clawdeen realizes casketball should be for fun and she can't take this right from anyone. Clawdeen tells her team that, if this really is their last game, they should do it for fun, and they agree. The casketball team all go to the court together and start playing for fun, laughing and using their powers and abilities, much to the kaiju's confusion. Modirah and Gakaiju still try to be competitive, but the casketball team doesn't care about it anymore and continue to play for fun. The kaiju even try to beat them pretending to having fun, but can't. The school's team continue to have fun and laugh together. Modirah and Gakaiju get angry and argue with each other, blaming each other. But Clawdeen makes them stop, saying there's no point in playing if it's not for fun, leaving the kaiju in shock. Clawdeen continues, saying they started the game because they liked to play, but now they are jinxing monsters and fighting with each other. The two realize they did love to play and ave indeed defiled it, they realize Clawdeen is right, so the kaiju remove the kinx from the team.

Now Clawdeen and the casketball team can play just fine, and they celebrate. Deuce asks how Clawdeen knew playing for fun would work, she responds if she couldn't appeal to their fun-loving side, she knew she could trigger their competitive side. Clawdeen offers Modirah and Gakaiju another play, this time for fun, and they agree. Although the casketball team lost by a lot of points, they had fun, now they and the kaiju are having playing. Meanhwhile, Toralei throws her pum-pums away and yells fearleading isn't fun anymore. Then lightnings strike, apparenlty jinxing her.
