Summary:

The robots are at a busy Halloween party. Tiff loses track of her mom and tries to find her, but each time she goes up to a witch it is someone else. Then Tiff remembers that Mom's costume had a red wig. She finds her mom at last and realizes the monsters aren't nearly as scary as being separated from her mom.
