HooDoo You Like?

Hi, Guys.

So, Lagoona just gets out of the line in the creepateria when she hears Cleo's voice, but sees Toralei and her werecat pals. She follows them to their table and is told they're making fun of the losers of the Fear Squad. Lagoona Blue confronts them about the fact those are her friends, but Toralei merely mock-mimics her Australian accent and choice of friends. Lagoona walks away angrily to a table Clawdeen, Cleo, and Frankie are sitting at. The moment she sits down, a conversation starts about the relationships the girls are involved with. Frankie feels left out but tries to talk along until her friends point out that she's never had a boyfriend and thus doesn't know what she's talking about. Frankie blurts out that she does have a boyfriend and is immediately interrogated by her slightly skeptical friends on who he is and why they never met him. Frankie quickly replies that he's sick today but that they can meet him tomorrow, then runs off.

At home that night, Frankie does the only thing a simulacrum can do when they need a person who does not exist: she makes herself a boyfriend. She sews one together, creating a life-sized voodoo doll, and attempts to bring him to life with electricity. However, that part of the plan seemingly fails. Frankie decides to take him to school tomorrow anyway and fake him being alive.

At school the next morning, Gil has a talk with Deuce and admits that he lied to Lagoona when he told her his parents had changed their minds about not allowing him to date a salt water monster. Deuce points out that Lagoona will be upside if she finds, which Gil sadly acknowledges.

In the creepateria, Frankie's nervous and faux-giddy attitude and the mildly creepy doll hanging from her shoulder catch a lot of attention. As she takes place at the table her friends are waiting for her at, the girls decide to indulge Frankie's charade and ask to be introduced. Frankie promptly names the doll Hoodude as she stumbles to keep him sitting up straight. After about one long, uncomfortable minute, the girls tell Frankie that she doesn't need a boyfriend to fit in with them because they like her for her. Frankie is relieved to hear that and confesses she's not ready for boys yet. She throws Hoodude at a nearby trashcan, where, after landing, the doll looks up and asks if she really is breaking up with him. He runs off crying before Frankie can answer, as well before she and her friends can even come to terms with the fact that Hoodude is alive.

But we don't stop here, because when the crew receives a contact from Speed Sr., Speed assumes that his father needs their help at the Alpha Academy, so he, X and Annalise go undercover and sneak into the school to find him. While X gets into trouble with Headmaster Moustache, Speed and Annalise find a secret lab at the bottom of the school only to be caught by Speed Sr., who was actually undercover the whole time and only meant to send the message telling Speed and the gang to stay away from the school. He then reveals that the project they are working on is Project Hourglass. He tells them about the Shadow Committee and how they are trying to make their own version of the Mach 6's missing part though he is not sure why. He then immediately shows them a way out of the school. Back at Racer Academy, Speed and Annalise tell X, Conor, and Lucy everything they heard from Speed Sr. at the Alpha Academy.
