Surprised that the Pellets have no decoration at all just before Halloween, Matt hangs a witch on their door. Before his in-laws can undo that naive error, it rekindles an old rivalry among the street's five families for the most ornate house, rewarded with a local newspaper mention and picture. Even mat's well-meant words at a 'peace conference' hosted by Victor fails to avert another 'war'. Matt surprises the family by opting out, Marlene Alex by pointing out she should side with her husband, and he again.
