Episode 2 of Goosebumps kicks off with Isabelle awakening with anticipation, her first thought turning to the comments section of her troll video. As she strides into school, she's met with a chilling silence, an invisible wall that makes her feel utterly overlooked. Spying on Isaiah and Allison from afar, she catches them altering the party's venue, a secret she holds close.
That evening, her brother, sensing her longing for acceptance, presents her with a vampire costume, urging her to attend the bash. He weaves a tale of relevance and popularity, convincing her that the costume holds the key to her newfound social status.
Intrigued, Isabelle attends the party and is soon beckoned by an eerie voice, guiding her to the basement's depths. There, she discovers a mysterious mask, its allure too strong to resist. Donning it, she returns to the party, where eyes cannot help but linger on her captivating presence.
Returning home, buzzing with excitement, she attempts to remove the mask, but it refuses to budge. After a desperate battle, she finally frees herself and drifts into slumber.
The following day, Margot visits Isaiah, her heart heavy with concern. She offers an apology, but he brushes it aside, focusing instead on inconsequential cookies. She confides in him about her game-day revelations, pleading for answers. Isaiah, protective of her safety, remains tight-lipped.
As Isabelle prepares for school, the mask whispers softly, its influence lingering. With a mix of trepidation and curiosity, she slips it into her bag, ready to face another day.
Mr. Bratt suddenly becomes aware that it is Monday and hastily scrambles to make his way to school. Alas, he discovers that he has lost command over his own body, yet somehow manages to shuffle his unsteady steps towards the school gates, drawing stares and whispers from the children lining the corridors. Once inside, he retreats to the restroom, where he encounters Biddle staring intently at his reflection in the mirror. In that fleeting moment, Mr. Bratt feels himself overtaken by Biddle's presence.
Later in the day, Isabelle operates her drone by the edge of the field, its cameras rolling, when Isaiah approaches her, eager to review the footage from Friday's game. Trusting her acquaintance to keep watch, she hands over the drone's reins and steps into the AV cart with Isaiah. She unveils the recorded clips and leaves Isaiah engrossed in the playback.
Venturing outdoors once more, Isabelle's eyes catch Lucas perched perilously on the rooftop, with her drone hovering ominously overhead. Without hesitation, Lucas leaps from the roof, snatching the drone from the sky and bringing it safely back to earth. Their paths cross again later, this time in the student counselor's office, where Lucas proposes a weekly repayment of $5 until the drone is paid off in full.
Just as the conversation unfolds, a eerie whisper emanates from Isabelle's mask, attempting to provoke her into a confrontation with both the counselor and Lucas. In a fit of anger, Isabelle unleashes a torrent of insults before catching her breath, apologizing profusely, and withdrawing from the room.
Isaiah ventures into the locker room to inspect his belongings, but his heart skips a beat when he's startled by Mr. Bratt, disguised as a referee, lurking in the shadows. Meanwhile, Colin, the student counselor, seeks out Nora to discuss Lucas's penchant for mischief.
Isabelle faces the wrath of her mother for the damaged drone, earning herself a grounding. Her mother seizes her phone and laptop, locking them away in a drawer before departing for work, leaving Isabelle to ponder the consequences of her actions.
Mr. Bratt strolls into the cozy coffee shop and addresses Nora with a request for an egg sandwich. Though somewhat hesitant, Nora eventually concurs and finds herself engaged in a nostalgic chat with him about the Biddle House and bygone days. Oddly enough, Mr. Bratt mysteriously vanishes and reappears almost instantaneously in front of Nora, snatching the packed sandwich before darting out.
That very night, Nora attempts to converse with Isaiah but is abruptly cut off by Ben, who dismisses Isaiah and urges Nora to reach out to their other friends. Nora complies and hands Margot a photograph, instructing her to inquire about it with Isaiah. Meanwhile, Isabelle's brother unveils a video posted by Lucas, asserting that it proves her innocence. Despite this, Isabelle dismisses him. Margot presents the photograph to Isaiah, who is startled to recognize the boy from a past altercation on the football field. They swiftly decide to confront Nora.
Lucas is busy perfecting his skateboarding tricks near the shop when Isabelle, masked and furious, storms in and launches a relentless attack on him. The mask takes complete control of Isabelle, transforming her into a grotesque monster. Fortuitously, Isaiah and Margot arrive in the nick of time to rescue Lucas, and the monster retreats. The creature then stalks its way to observe its mother leaving for work. Allen, hearing commotion in the living room, descends to investigate and spots the monster. He sneaks toward the phone and dials Isabelle’s number.
To Allen's astonishment, the phone buzzes in the monster’s pocket, alerting it to his presence. Allen flees into the storeroom. Inevitably, the monster catches Allen and pins him down. Allen pleads with Isabelle to resist the mask’s influence. Isabelle gathers her strength and rips the mask off her face.
The following day, they cast the menacing mask into a pond, watching it descend into the depths. As they depart, Mr. Bratt emerges and retrieves the mask from the pond's dark embrace.
Isabelle and her mother venture to James' house for a parents-only meeting, leaving Isabelle to amuse herself in the game room. While the adults discuss Harold, Isabelle accidentally shoots a snooker ball at James, causing him to dramatically disintegrate into slimy goo.
