No amount of complaining will get Jeremy and Chelsea out of a family vacation with their parents, but when they stumble upon a hotel where the staff doesn't take kindly to children (to the point that they brainwash the parents into despising them and sacrifice the kids into a white void located inside the painting of the hotel's founder), the two must work together to stop their parents from being brainwashed.

• While this episode is not a direct of adaption of anything, it has similarities to the short story "Are we there yet?" from The Haunting Hour. They both involve kids going on a road trip with their parents they do not want to be on, and they have a scary experience in a hotel that teaches them to not be so ungrateful. Although the kids in the story were still generally nice despite this and both stories go in wildly different directions.
