When Radio KBLOOD announces a contest of which the prize is that the Jaundice Brothers will come to play at the winner's school's homecoming dance, Cleo helps Frankie put together a tape to send in. As luck has it, they win the contest.

Cleo participates in Monster High's 1361st Annual Charity Talon Show. One of her competitors is Clawdeen, who takes the stage just after her. Cleo attempts to sabotage Clawdeen's performance by turning on the spotlight, which works as a substitute full moon on her. She loses control, but rather than it being disastrous, she improvises her way through a killer dance that easily beats Cleo's.

Cleo is hosting the fearleading try-outs and is busy explaining the high demands of the Fear Squad to the candidates when Frankie bursts in. The simulacrum's hand becomes detached, and Frankie performs several difficult moves to get it back, earning herself a spot on the Fear Squad despite Cleo's objection.

Cleo's Trigular Calcometry 101 class is hosted by a substitute teacher, Lou Zarr, who does not get along with the class. A conflict with Deuce leaves him petrified, upon which Cleo and the other students consider the class dismissed.

When Clawdeen shows up unprepared for the SAT that day, Cleo advises her to copy Ghoulia's answers.

Cleo is annoyed that Draculaura dares suggest her crush is hotter than Deuce and tries to sabotage her chances. She advises her to touch up her makeup first and offers to do it for her. Rather than making Draculaura prettier, however, Cleo makes her look horrendous. Amazingly, Heath digs the look, so Cleo's plan is foiled and Draculaura gets her date.

Cleo has her locker door smash closed on her by Frankie's haywire charge, causing her earrings to become stuck in its vent.

It's Picture Day, but Coach Igor's covering Study Howl and he's obsessed with sport. Cleo and her friends make a looks-destroying escape from a looks-destroying workout, though Igor eventually catches up to tell them they won't have run lapses because of Picture Day.

When Frankie develops a zit on her cheek, Cleo makes sure to take a picture and send it to all students. Irony strikes when she herself becomes covered with zits.

Cleo vies to be the leading lady of the school's production of Hamlet, but Clawdeen is her main rival. The two sabotage each other's auditions to the point they both end up in plaster while Draculaura gets to be leading lady.

An eyeball fight breaks out during Biteology and Cleo participates. She is later chased out of the girls' bathroom by a frog infestation.

Following a collision with Frankie in the hallways and Cleo's subsequent struggle to get loose, which resulted in a statue being knocked over and broken, the two girls are ordered to Headless Headmistress Bloodgood's office. There, Cleo puts all the blame on Frankie. Bloodgood accepts this and then informs Frankie that breaking the statue was a good thing because one of Monster High's first teachers had been locked inside of it for millennia. Frankie readily accepts the praise, much to Cleo's regret.

It is both Friday the 13th and Halloween, a rare occurrence that spells bad luck galore until three o'clock. Cleo calms her panicking friends by assuring them that her amulet will protect them. However, Ghoulia's carrying the amulet and she just walked off. The girls chase after her to be safe, only to find her use the amulet to get to the big clock and adjust the time to three o'clock.

Cleo forces Ghoulia to switch science fair projects, meaning to take the credit for Ghoulia's superior work. Because Ghoulia can't stand up for herself, Cleo gets what she wants and stakes a claim on the Mad Science Fair's throne. That is, what she thinks is a throne because in reality, it's Lagoona's project: a chair with a water-dunking function. Knowing what Cleo has done, Lagoona hands the remote to Ghoulia.

When Frankie's friends discover she's never seen a movie, they promptly take her to the auditorium to watch the entire TwiHard series. In preparing for the movie session, they overtax the room's electricity net. To solve this, the group hooks up the equipment to Frankie, allowing the movie session to go through but Frankie not to watch anything.

Cleo mistakenly thinks that Clawdeen is also running for Scream Queen. In order to thwart her supposed rival, she spreads a rumor that Clawdeen suffers from a case of fleas and can no longer compete. The rumor gains a life of its own, however, dropping the fleas and promising a school carnival if Clawdeen wins. Clawdeen is voted Scream Queen, while Cleo seethes in silence.

Draculaura has a chance to meet her perfect guy, but she has to get in contact with him before school's out. Cleo works on a Plan B to help Draculaura meet with him in time in case her other friends fail, which they do. Plan B is Deuce Gorgon, who is tricked into turning Draculaura's crush to stone.

Because she deserves an A for her work, but only gets a B+, Cleo uses a mind-control idol on Mr. Rotter to get past his "No A's"-rule. But after having gotten a taste of the power of mind-control, Cleo continues using it even for gain she does not deserve. At the end of the day, the idol has her pay the price by taking away her hair.

Cleo partners up with Deuce to take care of an egg for a whole week as an assignment for Mr. Hackington's class. Deuce petrifies the egg to guarantee that it won't break, promising it'll return to normal in a week. It doesn't.

Cleo tries to manipulate Frankie into spilling whom she's crushing on through a game of Truth or Scare during a sleepover. Frankie chooses truth and is ordered to send a text reading "party at my house", which she does. Cleo is amused only until she realizes the text was sent on her own cellphone.

To help Lagoona with an unexpected parent-teacher conference, Cleo, Clawdeen, and Frankie dress up Slo Mo as Lagoona's aunt Lantic so he can figure out what the conference is about.

TV specials

Cleo is the first ghoul to meet Frankie, and is not impressed by the modest New Girl at all. Every day during Frankie's first week she seems to attack Cleo inadvertently, such as electrocuting Cleo and ruining her hair on Wednesday. During Fearleading tryouts later that day, Cleo performs a cool routine that intimidates the recruits into running away, save for Frankie. When Frankie attempts to repeat it, she accidentally splashes a smoothie Ghoulia has on Cleo, who's the Fear Squad captain, causing her to emit a glass-shattering scream. Although upset about that, the mummy becomes interested in Frankie as a member for her spunk. Cleo has a one-on-one interview with Frankie on Thursday, with the two get along until Frankie fibs about having a boyfriend. The boy Frankie calls her boyfriend is, in reality, Cleo's true love interest, Deuce Gorgon. Furious at the belief of Deuce cheating on her, Cleo pushes him away in the creepateria. Cleo is found crying at the pool and tells Frankie she is considered dead to her. Come Friday, Clawdeen and Draculaura ask Cleo to talk with them; it turns out to be a pow-wow between her, Frankie and Deuce. Frankie admits to lying, Cleo is relieved to have her boyfriend back but is still upset with Frankie. Frankie makes it up to her by giving her a Justin Biter concert, explaining that Justin owed the Steins a favor. Deuce and Cleo dance during the concert; the mummy then tells Frankie to show up at Fearleading, as she's on the team, but on probation.

As the captain of the Fear Squad, Cleo is not quickly satisfied, much to the annoyance of most of the team. Cleo is oblivious to this and thus it comes as a shock when the fearleaders desert en masse. Only Frankie stays, forcing Cleo to swiftly organize try-outs.

Cleo and Ghoulia have finished promoting the Fear Squad try-outs and are on their way to the gymnasium to meet the new recruits that Cleo is certain have gathered. Bar Frankie, the gymnasium is empty. Because Cleo gives up, Frankie starts her own recruitment drive, finding new team members in Draculaura and Clawdeen. Once Cleo hears she's got a team again, she is back to her bossy self.

Cleo is unhappy with the new Fear Squad's performance yet and orders them to attend every school event for the time being to gain experience. All of their cheers have disastrous consequences for the school's performance, making Cleo fear for their chances to be invited to Gloom Beach.

Having received an ambiguous letter from Gloom Beach, Cleo loses herself in doubt whether her Fear Squad will be invited or not.

During the Spirit Rally, Cleo can only worry and so abandons her teammates during the cheer.

A text comes in that the Fear Squad is not invited to Gloom Beach. Cleo breaks down, but Frankie informs the team they still have a chance if they go for the wildcard arrangement: create a fearleading video and get it a million hits on FrightTube in two days. Though the odds are low, the Fear Squad immediately gets to work.

The Fear Squad's video has barely gotten any hits, so the team tries to promote it. With Ghoulia's help, they manage to lure in a big audience and reach 999,999 hits. However, FrightTube chooses that moment to crash.

The Fear Squad anxiously looks on as Ghoulia tries to do something about the crash. Despite her best efforts, the clock strikes 3:00 PM before she succeeds. Cleo tearfully thanks her friends for all they've done, but the mood is promptly improved when Deuce delivers the news that FrightTube crashed because of all the traffic to their video. Rather than a million hits, they've got twn million hits. Their Gloom Beach invitation follows soon after.

During the ride to Gloom Beach, Cleo has an ominous dream about their chances to win. She awakes when the bus arrives, only to find that the Fear Squad will be staying in a decrepit cottage.

When Scary Murphy hands the Fear Squad a list of chores to do, Cleo is the only one not to question this. At least, not to her team. That night, she goes for a walk to sort her thoughts and is approached by the werecats to let them back on the Fear Squad. She refuses.

After finishing the chores, Cleo and Ghoulia work out a routine while the rest of the Fear Squad relaxes at the beach. The Fear Squad gathers at dusk to memorize the routine but they are watched by the werecats.

It is discovered only at the competition that the werecats stole the Fear Squad's routine and gave it to Smogsnorts. Cleo uses the movements from the chores Scary Murphy had them do to improvise a new routine, which wins them the spirit staff.

Cleo and the rest of the Fear Squad have become a target of revenge for the werecats. She is made to believe she's lost her Queen Bee status and is desperate to do something to get it back. The werecats trick her into agreeing to stay at Monster High on the night of Friday the 13th so people will talk about her again.

Cleo is glad her friends agree to join her in spending the night of Friday the 13th at Monster High. They encounter a monster roaming through the school, but it turns out to only seek people to celebrate its birthday with.

During lunch, the topic moves to relationships and Frankie lies she has a boyfriend. The girls want to meet him, so Frankie brings a life-sized voodoo doll to school the next day. Weirded out, the girls assure Frankie she does not need a boyfriend to fit in.

A popular student, Cleo spends her whole morning signing fearbook copies. When she returns to her locker, she discovers it to be stuffed with balloons just as Mr. Rotter walks by. He warns her the balloons better are not part of a prank.

Ghoulia has discovered that the werecats are behind the odd events of the day. Her friends thus confront the trio and learn that they plan to pin the blame of a stink bomb on the Fear Squad so that they'll get expelled. The group rushes out and collects the bomb before it drops.

Cleo walks out of the school with Ghoulia, to whom she rants about how her father may not know that her iCoffin is broken because he'll only use it as an excuse to praise her older sister, Nefera. Cleo illustrates the family relations with a story of how once Nefera threw a party and blamed it on Cleo, thereby ensuring that Cleo never again may host a party herself when her father is not around, like is the case at the moment. The ghostly entity behind the Ghostly Gossip overhears Cleo, but only partly, and sends out an announcement that Cleo's father is out of town and that there'll be a party at the de Nile residence that night.

The announcement spreads quickly and Cleo's immediate group of friends arrives early that evening to help set things up. It isn't until a couple of hours later, when the party is already in full swing, that the girls realize that Cleo and Ghoulia aren't present. Draculaura explains that Cleo is probably buying a new iCoffin because her old one broke, making the girls realize that the party announcement did not come from Cleo and that therefore they broke in. They are just discussing how to end the party when Cleo and Ghoulia arrive. Against expectations, Cleo thinks her friends threw a party for her and is ecstatic.

Ghoulia is going through her Dead Fast sketchbook in the shadow of a tree, gloomily sighing every so often. Her friends take note of her odd demeanor, which Cleo can explain: Ghoulia's parents won't let her go to Nekrocon, despite that she'd been looking forward to it the entire year. Missing out on the experience is one thing, but by not attending, Ghoulia also can't enter the raffle for Dead Fast #0, the rarest of all Dead Fast issues. However, talking about Ghoulia's misfortune gives Cleo an idea.

Paging through her sketches, Ghoulia nods off. Her dream takes her to Nekrocon, where she is dressed up as her Dead Fast OC: Ms. Dead Fast. She is just in time for the Dead Fast #0 raffle, but it seems the contest can't take place. Right before the crowd's and security's eyes, a villain known as the Shadow Poacher steals the comic issue and announces he will severly damage it. Luckily for every Dead Fast fan and comic book lover in existence, Ghoulia is present, and she's not only dressed as Ms. Dead Fast but even inherited Dead Fast's power of superspeed. With it, defeating the Shadow Poacher is almost an effortless enterprise. Ghoulia returns the comic issue in mint condition and is cheered on by the Nekrocon crowd.

Ghoulia wakes up and immediately notes that something is different about the sketchbook in her hands. Poking out from its pages is Dead Fast #0. Confused as to where it came from, it is clearly meant for her and Ghoulia is beyond herself with happiness. From afar, their mutual friends compliment Cleo for her gesture. Cleo insists it's nothing, since winning a raffle is easy when you have 10,000 servants to enter. Since she also has a reputation to think of, she does not want anyone to tell Ghoulia, that the comic issue is a gift from her. Her friends don't object.

Cleo arrives with several shopping bags, but when the others applaud her for her shopping expertise, she admits that it is actually all for her sister Nefera, who has had her running errands since the beginning of summer.

Nefera then arrives and demands that the other girls give her their shopping too, otherwise she will tell her father about the party that Cleo hosted at the end of the school year. She then says that she is late for her salon appointment, and that she will come back for it later.

The girls then notice that Toralei, Purrsephone, and Meowlody are back from the Trigular Calculometry Summer Math Camp, and Clawdeen overhears them saying that Nefera is always wearing the newest trends, so they want to follow her and copy her look. The girls then get the idea of finding a new 'style' to show to Nefera.

Cleo attaches plungers to her heels, Clawdeen wears toiletpaper holders as earrings, Lagoona wears a garbage can as a dress, Frankie wears a bee hive on her head and Draculaura uses roadkill as a purse. Nefera returns and says that they look ridiculous, but they tell her that they are brand new fashion statements, and surely Nefera must have heard about them, since she's a famous model.

Nefera is embarrassed about her apparent lack of knowledge of the new 'top fashion', and demands that the girls hand them over to her. She then dresses in her new 'outfit', becoming the laughing stock of the Maul as passers-by take pictures on their iCoffins.

Draculaura says that Nefera will never be able to show her face at the Maul again, to which Cleo replies that it is the best day of her life. Just then, Frankie points out that Toralei and her friends have indeed copied Nefera's new look, to which the girls all laugh.

Cleo becomes suspicious of Deuce keeping secrets. She gathers information from friendss and assumes he's cheating on her with Operetta, a ghoul he has more in common with. A jealous Cleo demands Operetta stay away from her man, loudly in the cafeteria, which leads to her humiliation when Operetta's spider scares her into a tray of food. Cleo then confronts Deuce and learns his secret is his anniversary with the first thing he ever petrified, his pet dragon Smokey. Cleo is happy to still have Deuce but refuses to make amends with Operetta.

Spectra sends Cleo a picture of Deuce hanging out with Operetta.

Cleo spies on Deuce and Operetta. She finds Deuce writing love lyrics and assumes he's fallen for Operetta.

The mummy loudly tells Deuce she's dumping him for cheating in front of many monsters in the school hall ways. As she turns to walk away, Cleo is frightened by Operetta's pet spider and has headphones placed on her ears. Cleo discovers the lyrics are Deuce's feelings for her, causing her to happily return to her boyfriend. She proclaims to make all of her friends listen to the song, she gloats in their expected jealousness.

Cleo is livid to see her cruel older sister become the fearleadingg coach. Even after telling her concerns to Bloodghood, and saying over and over again that Nefera is pure evil the ghouls are still forced under Nefera's incoherent instructions. By the end the four are replaced by the werecat trio.

When Nefera says that the B-team can't practice on school grounds, Operetta lets them preform in the catacombs in her theatre. After long and arduous training sessions under guidance of Scary Murphy and with musical backup from Operetta, they are ready for Monster Mashionals.

Both A-team and B-team of Monster High earn themselves a place in the grand finale. However, shortly before the match, Nefera approaches the B-team and shows them she has brought along a bag full of charms to turn the tide in her favor. This leaves Cleo convinced that she has no chance of winning against her older sister and the A-team.

Cleo is certain to lose when her sister uses their family's talismans against her team. Deuce encourages her to do her best anyway and promises he and their friends will protect the ghouls from the totems.

Frankie, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Ghoulia and Abbey sleepover at Cleo's house. The ghouls, except for Abbey, allow Cleo to win. Abbey does not go easy on Cleo and the princess is happy.

The girls prepare for a class trip to Monte Scarlo. As Frankie voices her enthusiasm, she suddenly sneezes. Mr. Rotter hears this and warns her that if she gets sick, she may not attend the class trip. Frankie tries to assure him and her friends she is fine, but her next sneeze causes three other students to get shocked by her electricity. Cleo warns the others to stay away from Frankie lest they get sick too, and become unable to go on the class trip. Clawdeen apologizes to Frankie for having to shut her out, but then she sneezes too, causing her fur to stand up. Next is Operetta, whose sneeze breaks Ghoulia's glasses as well as the windows, and causes several students to be blown out of the building. Finally, Cleo and Draculaura both sneeze at the time, causing them to be covered in heart-shaped pimples and pyramid-shaped pimples respectively.

As the girls try to think of something to be cured before the bus leaves, Gory mockingly tells of how much fun she'll be having at Monte Scarlo. Abbey warns the girls the bus will leave soon, but they tell her to leave them or else she might get sick too. Abbey informs them the people of her village rarely get sick. Meanwhile, Ghoulia figures out the cure they need is a "monster thistle," which Frankie knows grow in the catacombs. The girls ask Abbey to get it for them, to which she complies.

On the ground floor, Gory keeps teasing the girls and claims Abbey won't be back in time. However, Abbey does return in time and blows the monster thistle's pollen over her friends, who get well instantly. However, since Abbey is allergic to the pollen, the action causes her to sneeze and freeze Gory to the floor. The girls run off to catch the bus, leaving a distraught Gory to seemingly miss out on the trip.

Cleo throws a party, Draculaura becomes ill. The other ghouls say they'll cancel the party for her; Cleo does not see this as an option. Cleo is excited for Ghoulia to receive her first kiss. The two friends switch bodies by touching one of The Mummy's idols. They do not tell their boyfriends during their double date (because where's the fun in that). From hieroglyphic instructions the two try random stunts to undo the magic. Deuce and Slo Mo try to kiss the ghouls, at the same time, and the spell is undone for the ghouls and the spell switches the boys. Freaky Fridate

Cleo and Deuce laugh at Frankie and Draculaura's alien ideas.

Slo Mo admires Ghoulia, but sorrowfully, as he thinks that he is not smart enough to fit Ghoulia's preferences for a love interest. When he later finds her the center of attention as she earns a million points on the Dead Fast video game, Lagoona notices his distress and insists he's not too unintelligent for Ghoulia. Slo Mo refuses to believe her and inquires about the magical artifacts Cleo has access to. Lagoona thinks Cleo will have something to help Slo Mo, but discourages the plan. Slo Mo pulls a puppyface though, which convinces her to help him ask Cleo for aid.

Cleo does not have Lagoona's reservations and quickly hauls up an intelligence potion and its antidote from the artifact collection. Slo Mo eagerly drinks it and not only is the change in his intelligence immediate, but also the change in his personality. This worries both Lagoona and Cleo, but they let him be.

The next day, Ghoulia and Frankie witness Slo Mo playing an simultaneous exhibition chess match and winning each of games. Shortly after, he, Ghoulia, and Don are part of a debate competition and, ignoring Ghoulia's wish to do the next rebuttal, Slo Mo launches a long-winded insult at the opposing team's debate qualities. While most in the auditorium are impressed, Ghoulia is angry that Slo Mo did something arrogant and mean like that. Her anger only grows mere hours later, when Slo Mo checks the details of the equation she solved and publicly criticizes and improves it.

Aware he messed up, Slo Mo goes to Lagoona for help to talk with Ghoulia about his actions. Lagoona answers that Ghoulia doesn't want to see him because he's become a jerk. Slo Mo defends himself by saying he now is what Ghoulia wanted, but Lagoona corrects that he now is who he thought Ghoulia wanted. She hands him the intelligence potion's antidote then, leaving the choice to Slo Mo. Slo Mo chooses his old self, making both him and Ghoulia happy in the end.

Cleo objects on grounds that Hackington enjoys to torment his students by laughing at their misery and threatening they'll fail his class. Bloodgood is shocked to hear this and notes that the award will go to Rotter then. Cleo objects to that candidate too, stating that he is too hard on the students. Frankie adds to that the time he accused several students of taking his glasses, while they were only gone due to his own inattentiveness.

Bloodgood agrees that neither candidate is the kind she wants to hand the Creature of the Year award. Readying herself to start her selection anew with Nightmare's help, Frankie suggests to award her steadfast assistant. And so, Bloodgood announces Nightmare as the Creature of the Year during the ceremony, much to the chagrin of Rotter and Hackington. Everyone else cheers and Nightmare proudly leaves the stage, though not before happily snorting some flames towards the two disqualified teachers.

Cleo becomes Frankie's campaign manager for student president. When SloMo becomes president, the princess tells him about her birthday-as-a-school-holiday idea.

Cleo and Toralei are both after the part of Gorothy in the school production of The Wizard of Ooze. Prior to the auditions, Toralei notes that the role of Gorothy is for a young girl and that Cleo is too old to stand a chance. Worried, Cleo grabs for a bottle filled with water from the Fountain of Youth that she got from her great-great-grandmother and turns herself a suitable younger age with a drop or two.

At the auditions, Mr. Where is greatly impressed by Cleo's performance. Toralei doesn't trust the matter and follows Cleo backstage. She sees Cleo gain age as the water's effect wears off and then sees her become younger again by applying the water. Toralei confronts her and demands the water to be used on her too. Cleo refuses, leading to a struggle between the two for the bottle experienced by Abbey and Frankie. Predictably, the potion slips from their hands and spills the water all over the two girls, turning them into "monster babies". On top of that, the amount of water also means they'll stay like that for much longer than Cleo was merely younger. There is a cure, but Cleo's great-great-grandmother will have to send it to her and callbacks are in two minutes.

The girls decide to tell Mr. Where what happened. Blaming each other for the accident, they begin to fight again. Mr. Where draws their attention by claiming they are both perfect for the part. Confused at first, Mr. Where elaborates they will take the role of the Grunchkins, which the Toralei and Cleo grudgingly accept. The role of Gorothy is given to Venus.

Cleo complains about walking through the maze.

At Monster High, a casketball game is about to take place between the home team and the West Valley Mages. The Fear Squad is present to cheer for the casketball team, though Ghoulia assures them that Monster High will win by 40 points, seeing as how the members of the West Valley High team are small and scrawny compared to the members of the Monster High team.

Surprisingly, within the first minute a member of the West Valley High team takes the ball from Clawd and scores one for the guest team. Even more surprisingly, this goes on until the score is 22-08 for the West Valley Mages. As the Fear Squad discusses what is going on, Ghoulia notices that the West Valley High coach has a crystal ball with him, with which he predicts Monster High's actions so his team can work them into their own plan. The Fear Squad wonders what they can do about this, and Ghoulia suggests that they try to create noise to make the crystal ball shatter. They'll need the audience's help for that though, so the Fear Squad lets Ghoulia lead a cheer filled with stomping and clapping that swiftly catches on with the audience.

While the opposing team's coach does almost drop the crystal ball, the artifact refuses to show even the tiniest of cracks. Worried, the Fear Squad again turns to Ghoulia, who unleashes a supernatural wail on the crystal ball, utterly obliterating it. Without the West Valley High team's ability to predict the future, the Monster High team catches up in no time, ending the game with a score difference of 36-54. Grateful, the Monster High students lift Ghoulia on their shoulders, chanting her name.

Cleo tries to help Ghoulia enjoy their beach vacation, against the zombie's wishes.

Draculaura and her friends were hanging out when Cleo came to them with the news that Emily Anne, a beloved anti-hate campaign and blog icon, would visit Monster High that day. The girls rushed to the bathroom to make themselves presentable for her arrival. However, in their eagerness to meet the celebrity, Draculaura's need for assistance with her appearance because she can't check herself in the mirror was ignored. A particular mean remark by Cleo made Draculaura's feelings go from helplessness to being unwanted. Ghoulia still tried to help her, but Draculaura was too emotional to still accept any help and told Ghoulia off. When she left, the water monster, who had seen the entire scene in the bathroom, approached Ghoulia and comforted her.

Draculaura ends her diary entry by acknowledging that she treated Ghoulia awfully and that that is not like her at all. The water monster approaches her and asks what Draculaura ís like, coaxing a few acknowledgements of positive traits out of Draculaura. This makes her feel better, and Draculaura agrees to come with the water monster to greet Emily Anne. It isn't until they are at the main entrance of Monster High that Draculaura realizes the water monster is Emily Anne, who had been walking around incognito to see the special monster school herself. Due to the confidence Emily Anne gave her, Draculaura is capable of facing and apologizing to Ghoulia. Emily Anne gives a small speech that having flaws and acknowledging them is a good thing, because flaws are what gives people their individuality. With Draculaura's story of the day as illustration, the crowd cheers at Emily Anne's positive message.

Cleo invites Frankie over to her place and offers her a potion: the Essence of Scario Fangdretti, a race car champion. Frankie is uncertain and accidentally drops the bottle, setting the essence free to speed off. She suggests she'll just study with her book, but her friends disagree. In the gym at school, Abbey has created a course and car made of ice for Frankie to practice with. This session goes decently until Heath Burns stops by and involuntarily melts the setup. Frankie's suggestion to study the old-fashioned way is shot down again when she invited over to Gil's house, along with Lagoona and Jackson, to play Extreme Graveyard Derby. Jackson claims the video game taught him how to drive, but Frankie doubts that when the in-game police motions her to pull over and Jackson argues that you never pull over. Being urged to drive faster, Frankie crashes in-game, which startles her ans makes her shock everyone present.

That afternoon, Frankie returns to the Department of Monster Vehicles for her road test. She witnesses Fenderbender treat another student harshly, making her fearful of her own odds. Taking strength from the fact her friends are present to support her, Frankie goes for it and passes the test easily. Her friends want to know which of their plans was the deciding factor and are unamused that Frankie replies her own studying was what had helped her through the road test.

Thinking she's borrowing a fur coat, Cleo offers to sit the class pet for Rochelle.

Cleo's radio active nail-polish mutates the cookies her friends bake for a sale. The monster attacks the kids until Heath cooks the goop. The others leave Cleo to eat the mess.

Cleo and Clawdeen plan Draculaura's sweet sixteen hundred. They decide to have the party in the catacombs, in the room where the Pit of Eternal Body Odor was located. Later, during the party, while searching for Toralei, who stole Cupid's bow and arrows, Cleo is shot and falls in love with her reflection in Deuce's food tray. While no longer in love with Deuce, Cleo rejects the slightest touch from him. Once the spell is broken, she and Deuce get back together, and Cleo personally has Valentine and Toralei thrown out of Draculaura's party by her Anubis bouncers after they fall in the Pit of Eternal Body Odor as punishment for their actions.

Cleo demands Deuce win her more prizes than Clawd does for Draculaura at the Spring Break carnival; he tries and fails. Cleo's servants drop Nefera's borrowed items in a trench; Cleo is not guilty about it since they're her sister's stuff. The mummy enjoys the trip on Lagoona's yacht. She does not enjoy Farnum's gross boat or how the Tiki natives worship Frankie instead of her. Cleo is even more envious when a giant (hot) monster kidnaps Frankie into the jungle 'when it should have been her.' She does help with rescuing Frankie and turning the Tikis against Farnum, and is with everyone when Farnum attempts to capture the Beast, now known as Andy, again at Monster High, leading to the school being severely damaged. When Bloodgood has to close the school for a week for repairs, extending Spring Break as a result, Cleo joins everyone with spending it at Skull Shores with the Tiki.

By the urging of her father and sister, Cleo leads a civil war between monsters and the human students of New Salem High. The Mummy also tells Cleo that breaking up with Deuce is what's best for her but she is slow to act on that demand. Cleo bonds with Lilith Van Hellscream over shared fashion tastes and control issues. At Frankie's urging, Cleo and Lilith confess to the New Salem Sheriff over their parts in getting Holt arrested for suspected vandalism to New Salem High and sentenced to death in the Trick-or-Treatment, but the Sheriff refuses to release Holt under the surmise of proving he's a capable lawman. Cleo then helps out with the plan to save Holt and lead the New Salem students to the Hall of Halloween to learn of the true meaning of the holiday, where she is decked out in her Ghouls Rule attire. Cleo uncharacteristically apologizes to Deuce, who forgives on the basis he knows that "family is complicated". The two reconcile in front of Cleo's family through speaker phone. Cleo then leaves her iCoffin on the table as her father rants in frustration at Cleo getting back together with Deuce, and joins the others in enjoying the party.

When Sparky damages the time portal before they jump in to return to 2014, due to having jumped in together with Toralei, Cleo and Toralei are accidentally fused together into the freaky fused hybrid, Cleolei, with neither of them having powers that are set off dangerously, but instead they just feud while sharing the same mouth.

Frankie and her ghoulfriends on a stairwell, frantically typing into their iCoffins and laptops. Draculaura explains that they're voting for Monster High to become the venue for the upcoming Casta and the Spells concert. The boys admit they have no idea who that is, which shocks the ghouls greatly. Frankie tells them at Casta Fierce and her band the Spells are the hottest band around, and she shows them an episode of 'Monsters of Music' on her phone.

The episode shows Casta and her band performing live, and explains that she inherited her good looks, singing talent, and magical powers from her mother, the witch Circe. There is one drawback though. If Casta accidentally mispronounces a lyric, she can end up transforming her entire audience into animals. After several instances of turning her fans into frogs and cats, Casta and the band decided it was too dangerous to continue touring live. Instead, they now play one live concert every year at Halloween, the location of which is voted for by her fans.

The ghouls get in a few more votes before time runs out. They then watch a live feed on Ghoulia's laptop, where Casta pulls out the winning venue from a magic cauldron. She reveals Monster High has won, and the ghouls cheer in celebration. Casta then reveals that Monster High only won by four last-second votes... which were made by Deuce, Manny, Gil and Invisi Billy. The ghouls are surprised, but as the boys gush in excitement, it's clear they've become serious Casta fans.

Frankie, Draculaura, Clawdeen, Cleo, Ghoulia and Toralei are visiting Casta in her dressing room, having won backstage passes in a contest earlier. While they're excited to meet Casta in person, they notice that she seems very nervous. Casta explains she just has stage fright, but the ghouls can believe someone like Casta could even get stage fright. But with her tendency to mess up her lyrics, Casta has plenty of reasons to be nervous. She explains that during her previous year's concert, she messed up the fast part at the beginning of her popular song 'Witching Hour', resulting in one audience member turning into a giant lizard which trashed the stage. She decides to never sing 'Witching Hour' again.

The ghouls head outside, determined to find something they can use to distract Casta on stage. Toralei however, has other plans. Without the ghouls noticing, she steals their backstage passes and dumps them in the trash.

It's the end of the scaremester at Monster High, which means that the new school fearbook has been published. Frankie, Clawdeen, Cleo and Spectra go to pick up their fearbooks, and Frankie decides to take a picture of her friends. She's surprised to see a water creature suddenly appear in the picture behind her friends. The water creature pops up behind them and introduces herself as Lorna McNessie, a new Exchange student visiting from Rotland. She mentions that her father is the Loch Ness Monster, and tells the tale of how she came to Monster High...

Below the waters of Loch Ness, Lorna swims toward her castle home, taking a moment to surprise the guards at the gate. She meets her father inside, and asks him if she can go above the surface. He forbids her, explaining that the last time he went up his photo was taken, and since then, normies have constantly visited the lake searching for him. Lorna lays on the charm and her father relents, allowing her to go up for one hour.

Lorna swims up to the surface, and has fun catching a ride on a speedboat, and watching some humans play golf. She then sees a photographer about to take a picture of the loch, and is overcome with the urge to photobomb it. She jumps into the frame and surprises the photographer, resulting in a blurry picture of her. The picture hits the news, and soon hundreds of people are exploring the loch, even diving underwater. Lorna's father is not pleased by this. He decides they need to get away until the commotion dies down, and arranges for Lorna to visit Monster High on the Exchange program.

Lorna finishes her story, and Frankie welcomes her and wishes her luck on her first day. Lorna replies that it's not her first day - she's been here all scaremester. The ghouls look through their fearbooks, and discover Lorna has photobombed every picture inside it.

Ghoulia, Cleo, Frankie and Clawdeen are checking out Marisol's live introduction video to get to know her better, before she starts frequenting Monster High. During the chat, Abbey shows up to get Marisol to the train and make her company during the trip. Since it's Marisol's last day in Monster Picchu, she asks Abbey if she can show her around her village before they go. Abbey accepts it, but only if it's for a little while. After showing her around, Marisol tells Abbey she needs to surf on the Amazonian River. She then proceeds to show her ginea pigs and gives her a 'Mari Makeover', but, when Abbey insists they have go and catch the train, Marisol tells her she can't leave Monster Picchu without visiting the jungle, Again, Abbey accepts it but only if it is the last activity. Like previously, Marisol pushes Abbey into a bunch of other activities, running from SpiderMonkeys, playing soccer and trying the local gastronomy. Finally, when Abbey and Marisol head to the train, Marisol asks Abbey to admit that she actually liked the trip to which Abbey replies that she really liked it.

Back at Monster High, while Clawdeen is commenting on Marisol's platforms, Frankie aproches the ghouls to ask if they've seen Abbey, for she hasn't been able to find her for a week. Marisol shows her a video of Abbey in Monster Picchu, declaring that she had so much fun she decided to stay an extra week.

Catrine, Cleo, Venus, Jane and Jinafire are getting ready for the Gloom and Bloom Dance, trying on outfits and making them. When Jane is trying in her outfit she claims that it would be better if her hair wasn't so monstrous. Jinafire replies that it is her tail that is too long. This leads to Catrine saying her ears aren't pointy enough and Venus wishes her complexion was greener. Opposing, Cleo believes that she is too beautiful. Marisol, who has been hearing the ghoul's, tells them to be quiet and stop worrying about their 'imperfections', so loudly it scares the ghouls. Cleo asks her if she had never wanted to change something about her aesthetic and Marisol, embarrassed, tells them the story of how, before, she was unsure about the size of her feet and tried to hide them from everyone, especially from this Bigfoot boy, Sam Squatch, who she is trying to impress. She looks in the internet for solutions, and finds a pair of shoes that will make your feet 3 sizes larger! The ghouls are surprised that Marisol was ashamed of how small her feet are, since they are gigantic compared to theirs. Marisol continues the story by telling them she had spent all her guinea piggy bank savings on the shoes, but when she tried them on, she fell of how big they were on her. Sam, who saw everything, helps her out and asks her for a dance. They dance happily and Marisol tells the ghouls that he liked her for who she was, regardless of how she looked.

The next day, the ghouls meet Marisol in the halls and thank them for their wise words in order to make them love themselves more. Cleo seems to have misunderstood the message, since she comes in the halls wearing gigantic shoes like Marisol's. She trips and her friends help her out, laughing with her.

The ghouls are preparing Monster High's greenhouse garden for the Gloom and Bloom dance, though Cleo is less than happy about having to actually work. Gil spots Lorna watering the massive flower in the center of the greenhouse and explains that it's the Corpse Flower, a rare flower that only blooms once every 1300 years, and is set to bloom at the Gloom and Bloom dance. He laments that Lagoona won't be able to see it, since she's still in Madread, and Lorna admits she feels the same about her boyfriend in Rotland. Suddenly she receives a text from her boyfriend, but upon reading it, she bursts into tears and runs out. The ghouls pick up her phone and discover her boyfriend has broken up with her via text. They immediately decide to help cheer her up.

The ghouls visit Lorna's apartment and attempt to coax her out, even putting together a 'Skulltimate Break-Up' pack with a giant ice cream sundae. But Lorna refuses to leave. Gil asks if he could try something. Later that night, he appears at Lorna's door in his tuxedo, and asks her if she would like to go to the dance with him as friends. Lorna is delighted to accept, but realizes she has nothing to wear. The other ghouls immediately rush in to help her find an outfit.

The dance is in full swing, and Lorna and Gil are having fun dancing. As they discuss how excited they are about the Corpse Flower blooming, Cleo overhears and states that she knew a corpse flower once, and she thinks they stink. Just as Gil wishes aloud that Lagoona was here to join them, Lagoona suddenly appears, and is shocked to see Gil and Lorna together. Draculaura also appears, just returned from her trip to Shibooya, and notes the very awkward atmosphere...

The Corpse Flower blooms open. To everyone's surprise, they discover a plant ghoul is resting inside the flower. To Cleo's horror, she recognizes the ghoul as Amanita Nightshade.

Amanita is delighted that the dance in thrown in her honor, and she recognizes Cleo in the crowd. When the others ask if they know each other, Cleo angrily admits that she knew Amanita when they were 'tombmates' together long ago. Amanita laughs and calls Cleo a wallflower without a date, but Cleo introduces Deuce as her boyfriend. Amanita immediately takes a liking to him, and drags him away for a dance, much to Deuce's confusion.

The night ends with Lagoona and Gil sharing a slow dance, while Cleo and Amanita both fight to dance with Deuce.

Cleo whether to pick "truth or scare", at a game of Truth or Scare at Draculaura's house, a sleepover. Cleo says "scare" to at that point, Amanita comes over (to which scares Cleo and Clawdeen says "wasn't expecting that much scare" as in the pun in Truth or Scare to Truth or Dare). Cleo asks: "What's she doing here?" to which Frankie responds that she invited Amanita over because she knows how hard it is to be the new ghoul at school. Clawdeen asks how Cleo and Amanita know each other, to which Cleo says they have history. Amanita looks in Draculaura's closet and asks to borrow some of them, which Cleo makes a comment that Draculaura will be lucky if she ever sees them again. Amanita puts Draculaura's fearleading uniform near her body, to which Clawdeen responds that she could be a model. Amanita digs through "her" purse, saying she already is, and she carries a portfolio around, to which Cleo exclaims that's her purse. Amanita is delighted to play Truth or Scare and picks truth, to Clawdeen asks her how she and Cleo know each other. She then explains because she blooms every only thirteen hundred years, she's a pretty "big deal". She explains how she was gifted to the De Nile family.

Cleo explains then how her family was trapped in their own tomb, and how it was pretty boring until Amanita showed up. Cleo explains how Amanita tried borrowing everything, and how she escaped without coming for Cleo. Frankie says she believes monsters can change and has Cleo pick 'scare'. She scares Cleo to get along with Amanita, to which she agrees. Draculaura says it's fangtastic, and looks for Amanita, realizing she stole everything in her closet.

Cleo is extremely excited to attend the Comet Crystal Gala in Boo York City. She invites her boyfriend, Deuce Gorgon, to go with her. Deuce expresses anxiousness towards being surrounded by Cleo's high class family, who he knows do not like him. Cleo assures him that she is not embarrassed of him and their love is unchangeable. Cleo invited her ghoul friends, Clawdeen, Draculaura, Catty, Operetta and Frankie to go along with her and Deuce. In Boo York, the De Niles meet with the Ptolemy family. Cleo is annoyed with Deuce's informal greeting to Madame Ptolemy, and that he wore headphones with rap music on during the meet-and-greet; much to the Ptolemys' disdain. The next morning Nefera and Mouscedes host a brunch for the everyone, except Deuce is missing. Cleo listens to Seth Ptolemy's poetry, and nearly falls asleep from boredom. She is angry when Deuce arrives in swimming wear, and has to borrow an oversized coat to enter the brunch. Cleo is unaware that her sister is setting Deuce up to look a fool; Cleo is furious when Deuce's shenanigans necessitate firefighters.

Later that day Cleo looks through dresses to choose for the night's gala. She is in better moods towards Deuce when he arrives, though he is miserable after everything that's happened. He tells her he's realized how unworthy he is to be dating an elegant princess and says the right thing to do is break up. Cleo passionately disagrees but Deuce determinedly throws the Egyptian chin ornament she'd given him into the fire place. He leaves Cleo with a broken heart and tears.

We next see her in the hotel room, alone, crying. Nefera comes in to see if she's ready for the gala (and to gloat), but is shocked when Cleo screams that she isn't going without Deuce. Nefera then pontificates to Cleo about her family name to convince her to buck up and forget him (and also to protect her designs on the crown); after which Cleo resolves to go, and deletes the photo of her and Deuce she took that day.

• The Volume 5 lining made Cleo's hair much straighter and more accurate to the doll line, without the "bottom swoop" or bottom curl.
