Ep 6. The Jack O'Latern Syndrome
- October 31, 1998
The Men in Black are back for another thrilling episode in season 2. As usual, they find themselves up against some fearsome extraterrestrial foes, but this time they have to deal with a unique threat - the Jack O'Latern Syndrome.
What is the Jack O'Latern Syndrome, you ask? Well, it's a mysterious illness that has been sweeping through the city like a plague. Victims of the syndrome exhibit symptoms similar to those of a jack-o-lantern, with their heads turning into pumpkin-like structures that emit eerie glowing lights. The cause of the syndrome is unknown, but the Men in Black suspect that it's alien in nature.
As they investigate the syndrome, the Men in Black come across a group of mysterious individuals who call themselves "The Keepers." The Keepers claim to have a solution to the Jack O'Latern Syndrome, but they refuse to share it with the Men in Black. Instead, they give the agents a warning - keep your nose out of our business, or else.
Of course, the Men in Black can't let this slide. They continue their investigation, only to discover that The Keepers are in fact a group of rogue aliens who have been experimenting with Earth's flora and fauna to create the perfect environment for their own species. It turns out that the Jack O'Latern Syndrome is just one of the many experiments they've been conducting, and it's gone horribly wrong.
With this new information, the Men in Black gear up for a showdown with The Keepers. But things aren't as simple as they seem. The rogue aliens have an ace up their sleeve - a powerful weapon that can knock out anyone who comes within range. It's up to the Men in Black to find a way to neutralize the weapon and take down The Keepers before they can cause any more damage.
As the Men in Black engage in a fierce battle with The Keepers, the fate of the city hangs in the balance. Will the agents be able to overcome the odds and save the day, or will the Jack O'Latern Syndrome continue to spread unchecked? There's only one way to find out - tune in to Men in Black: The Series season 2 episode 6, The Jack O'Latern Syndrome, and see for yourself!
