Summary: A creepy
melting ghost terrifies Mrs. Von Limburger of the great Limburger cheese

Winston just wants to leave but the're the Ghostbusters and they can’t be put
off by things just because they are scary.

| Bizarre ghost that prompts call! |
Mr. and
Mrs. Von Limburger are very dreary people but Peter seems to touch base with the man
of the house a little bit. Egon can
pinpoint the source and the grateful Von Limburgers decided to take off and leave
everything to the Ghostbusters. The Ghostbusters find a hole in the wall and a ghost comes out so they go to blast it. They miss a lot and end up
creating more holes but they catch the ghost.
The Ghostbusters are used to blasting holes in people’s property but
this time more ghosts pop out. While
investigating Ray gets pulled through the first hole after he widened it to get
a better target. The rest of them widen
it further to see if they could rescue him.
He comes back with his hair white but otherwise okay.

Winston
then finds a little hole that has little ghost coming out of it. They then understand the bigger the hole the
bigger the ghost. Realizing by making one hole really big they
are now in a lot of trouble. So they try to put a smaller hole in front of it. This however causes and earthquake and the
Ghostbusters are forced to leave the house.

| Ghosts and there holes. The one on the top middle looks like a banana. |
They
get out as the house falls into itself.
However they still have another problem. The crater is one really big super hole and a very large ghost is coming
out. Winston takes his little hole out
of his pocket throwing it into the mouth the beast causing it all to implode.

The Von
Limburgers get back and cry at the sight of destroyed house. Peter tells them that’s what it took and let
them know the Ghostbusters would be sending their bill.

| Homeless couple with a ghostbusting bill! |
My Take: So you see a cockroach and call and
exterminator. The exterminator does an investigation and you find out that your
house had to be condemned. Even worse they already destroyed it while you were at the grocery
store.
I found this episode really confusing I didn’t
get any of the cultural references. There was no real explanation to why they
were seeing what they were seeing, what they did, or even how it was resolved.
·
The conversation near the beginning between
Peter and Mr. Von Limburger was funny.
·
The Ghostbusters destructiveness seems to be catching up to them.
·
To take the little hole to place to in front of the big hole,
they had to make another big hole. Oh,
never mind.
·
The most destructive episode ever and the
Ghostbusters didn’t ever seem to feel bad that they destroyed this couple's home.
Not as good as the season one final.
