EPISODE ONE (2/1/14)

SUMMARY:  Best friends Franny and Carla are having a hard time.  Franny just got fired from her job - replaced by the boss' infant son - and Carla was just dumped by her boyfriend... for her mom.  So the two decide to forget their troubles by heading to the beach.  However, the plans of occultist Pester may put a crimp in things.  And even worse: Franny's pesky kid sister Kitty has stowed away in the car and come with them.
