Liv & Maddie

Come on, SkyVolt.

SkyVolt, Tess. Please wake up.

Garrison? (chuckles)

I don't remember anything after the explosion.

You saved me?

You can't save the world unless someone saves you.

Besides, how else will I get you to go out with me?

-Cut! -(bell rings)

Oh! Forget SkyVolt's lightning.

The real electricity is Tess and Garrison.

I am shipping "Tarrison" so hard.

I just look at Liv and imagine the girl I wanna go out with.

Which is easy because she has the same face as the girl I wanna go out with.

Yeah. He has a huge crush on my sister,

but he's too afraid to ask her out,

-'cause she's so scary! -(laughs)

I'm not scared. She just ended a long-term relationship

and might not wanna date.

And if she says no, it'll be weird and...

Okay, I'm scared.

Liv, we are a Voltage family.

Help your brother by getting him a date with your sister.

I don't know, I'm...

I guess I could ask Maddie if she's ready to start dating again.

But bad things happen when I get involved in her love life.

You know, like, she gets really mad at me,

and basketballs fly at my head,

and designer clothing gets burned in the front yard.

That sounds like Maddie.

Liv is on the case.

Oh! I love my Voltage family.

Unless they ate all my fancy LA cheesecake again.

If so, someone is fired!

Hey, Mom.

-Hi! -Oh! (laughs)

You... are at my work!

For the third time this week. (chuckles)

Mom, is everything okay? Did you... did you lose your job?

No, sweetie, no!

I just love... love, you know, checking in on my girl.

-Well, that's really sweet. -Oh...

You know what else is sweet? Cheesecake.

Gemma flies it in from Corsun's Deli in LA.

Sweet and fancy in my mouth. Mm!

See you later, Mom. You know, like at home.

Bye, Liv!

Oh!

And hello, cheesecake.

My cheesecake is gone again?!

Oh, uh, Dave, you're fired.

Whoo! I just out-ran two dogs, a delivery truck,

and the kid on the scooter who likes to race dogs and delivery trucks.

Wow! You must be exhausted.

Like, maybe you're too exhausted

to kick, punch or chase me?

I mean, I only do those things when you're meddling in my love life.

And what have I told you about meddling in my love life?

Um...

To not do it?

Exactly.

Okay, but what if you have a secret admirer

and I know who it is? Because you have a secret admirer and I know who it is!

Liv, I am not interested in dating anyone right now.

And you know what? You're meddling.

So I'm going to give you three choices: kick, punch or chase.

Um... kick.

No, no, no! Chase! And I get a five-second lead!

Take all day, Liv.

I'll still find you.

Josh: SkyVolt, this is good.

We're getting close to finding Zaydock.

So far, he was spotted at the observatory, the museum,

and the abandoned copper mine.

There's a pattern.

I think we can track him.

Zaydock's headed to the football field where I was struck by lightning.

And that's gonna be where I take him down.

But he's not there when I get there!

Why, Liv?! Why?!

Sorry.

Parker, do you see what I see?

Parker: That weird shadow behind the gears?

-What is that? -It looks like a...

A ghost!

And you look like a... a munch.

Because ghosts aren't real.

Actually, our entire crew, including myself,

believes that our set is haunted.

Doors get left open, things go missing,

there are always these weird, cold drafts.

See, dude? There's totally a ghost on that set!

I guarantee it.

-Guarantee? -Mm-hm.

This is about to get real stupid, real quick.

So, Liv, can we get on your set to ghost-hunt?

-Please? -Please?

Fine! I will call Gemma. Just don't do that stupid dance you do when you get excited.

Both: We're going a-ghost-huntin'!

We're going a-ghost-huntin'! We're going... a-ghost-huntin'!

Wait, you guys! What about the show?

Liv, I'm here to ask Maddie out. Whoo! (laughs)

Oh, no, no! Didn't you get my text?

She said she's not ready to start dating yet.

I know, I know, but I decided I'm gonna do it anyway.

Go big or go home, right? Whoo! (gasps)

Wow. It's a bold move.

Um, Maddie's just playing out back, so...

This is as far as I will take you for fear of having a basketball tossed at my head

or hair ripped from my scalp.

It's happened.

So... good luck.

Three, two, one.

Oh! Mad Dog Rooney in the house!

Well, outside the house, but close to the house!

I guess I'm saying it's your house.

Hello, Josh. Why are you being so weird?

Weird? What? The J Man ain't weird. Okay?

Okay, I just called myself "the J Man." That's weird.

Yeah. Um, so Liv's inside, J Man. You know, in the house.

I'm not here to see Liv.

I'm here to see you.

Why?

Well, because I thought we could hang out and talk.

-Like people do. -Why?

Because I thought it could be fun.

Why?

Maddie's tough. Luckily, I'm an actor. I can improvise.

I can also make ordinary statements sound important.

These pretzels are making me... thirsty.

I need you to teach me how to play basketball.

-And before you say "why"... -Why?

It's for next week's episode.

Okay. Can't the show just get you a coach or something?

-But you're the best in town. -I'm the best in state!

Uh, yeah, I could teach you a couple of things.

But, uh, I take basketball very seriously.

So think fast!

The J Man's gonna need a minute.

Ah, the Rooney brothers are here to rid us of our ghost!

You know it! Couple ghost-hunters, complete with ghost-hunting equipment.

Ah! So...

Have you noticed any paranormal activity on this set, ma'am?

If so, what, where, and how scary?

I have heard some weird moaning, like, uh...

Spooky and unnerving.

It's good to have fellow believers on set.

Oh. Slow down, sister. I am no believer.

I'm just here to watch my brother fail.

And I do enjoy a snappy jumpsuit.

Well, I got everything the Internet said we would need to ghost-hunt:

a temperature gun,

a spirit vacuum trap.

Ooh. What's the rake for?

Oh! Well... the online store said,

"Those who bought ghost-hunting equipment also bought rakes."

Huh!

Well, I am tired of having this ghost disrupt my stage.

So me and my boyfriend

are going to join your hunt.

I didn't know you had a boyfriend.

He's kind of a celebrity.

Hello, gorgeous!

Someone slap a collar on me and call me Scooby, we're gonna catch a ghost!

-(Gemma laughs) -Wait, wait. Wait, wait.

Johnny, you're dating Gemma?

-It feels right. -I'll say.

-And ol' Johnny hasn't been able to stop smiling. -Oh...

Could be a face twitch, but I'm thinking it's the girl!

Johnny, look at me. Closer.

I am crazy-jazzed that you're into ghost-hunting,

and also, you smell like a thunderstorm and I love it.

Okay.

Munch, let's, uh, get this ghost-hunt started.

Yeah! So, I guess we just

kind of suck the ghost up in this vacuum trap.

Should be pretty easy. I mean, we just kind of...

Handy!

Oh, I see why this is an "also bought."

Okay. Um...

I am confused,
