Over at the Darkside house, Darth Darkside made himself a potion with the chemistry set, and drank it. The potion turned him into a monster!

The Darthinator immediately went on a rampage of the house, breaking every lamp and television set.

Monster break TV. Monster quash rebellion. Monster break more TV.

After running out of things to break, Darth Vader turned back into his old self. (We're not sure if that was an improvement.) And Faith-- sweet, sweet Faith-- made the mistake of trying to fix the TV set.

Here's Faith, being electrocuted. Gruesome!

When the Grim Reaper turned up, Han Solo decided to beg and plead for the life of his friend Faith.

She can't die! I still haven't gotten laid in this house!

Although Han Solo lost the game of rock, paper, scissors, the Grim Reaper was "feeling generous" and turned Faith into a green-skinned zombie! A monster and a zombie all in one day. Coooool.

Han puts the moves on Faith. What is it about the green ones?

Thinking that a magic potion might cure Faith of her zombieness, she mixed one up and drank it.

This better not be the monster potion...

It turned out to be a personality reversal potion. And, since zombieness means that you lose all your personality points, that means that Faith now has full personality points in all categories! So she's a zombie, except not really.

She's still green, though.

Meanwhile, it was time for another birthday party in the land of the Sims-- this time a double celebration for the birthdays of Xeney and Corina Journaler. Sims came from far and near to join in the fun-- including their old roommate, the recently married Jen Celeb.

Here, Xeney and Corina blow out the candles on their cakes. This picture also shows (clockwise from top) Karen, Jen, Bruce, Faith Darkside, stee, Eleanor, Mickey, Mo, John Ritter, Mar, and Gillian Anderson.

Xeney even bought herself a new blue birthday dress!

As birthday gifts, each Sim was allowed to make one birthday wish. Corina's wish got her a new slot machine. Xeney's wish got her a new boyfriend.

The genie smites stee with Xeney love.

Yes, Xeney had won the heart of the house's resident studmuffin, albeit by artificial means. It took Xeney only about 2.2 seconds to decide that she was going to take advantage of the new situation.

I've got your magic lamp right here, baby.

These crazy kids sure do work quickly. Before they even had time to catch their breaths-- wham! Little Buffy Journaler was born.

That'll teach me to rub things...

I can't say that Xeney and stee were the world's most nurturing parents. In fact, the very first time Little Buffy started crying, this is what happened.

Maternal instinct my ass. Eight ball, side pocket.

Notice that stee is checking his watch and thinking about all the fun stuff he'd rather be doing, and Xeney is playing pool. Also notice that neither of them are paying the slightest bit of attention to their crying baby.

It wasn't long before someone in the house ratted them out to Social Services. Before the party was even over, someone came and took Little Buffy away.

Goodbye, Little Buffy. Your parents will... probably not even notice you're gone.
