Plot[]
During Esmeralda's time at the Scare B&B, Vampirina finds her other slipper. Gregoria finds Esmeralda's headband and Demi finds a deck of fortune-teller cards. Esmeralda thanks them before deciding to leave, but Vampirina mentions that the Hauntleys will throw one of their famous surprise party tomorrow, where the hosts spook the guests. Esmeralda ordered a brand new turban through Deliver-eek and must be home to sign for it.
Later, Vampirina, Demi, and Gregoria are cleaning the guest room when Vampirina sees a crystal ball in the closet. The ball introduces herself as Crystal Ball 9.0, a magical object that can predict the near future, and reveals that she belongs to Esmeralda. Vampirina decides to hold on to it until Esmeralda comes back. Poppy wishes she could have stopped by to see Esmeralda, and Vampirina and Demi tell her about what Esmeralda had to do. At the park, Wolfie chases a squirrel when an ice cream truck arrives. After Poppy mentions it, Vampirina decides to squeak a ball, and the crystal ball shows where Wolfie is. Vampirina and her friends follow him to the location.
Vampirina assumes the crystal ball could be a big help if she knows what will happen in the future, as it would fix lots of problems. Later, Vampirina gets a gift from Nanpire, and the crystal ball tells her that the gift contains an adorable stuffed banshee. It is later proven true. Vampirina tells the crystal ball what would happen if Demi used a growing spell on himself, and the ball states that he could run rampant all over town. Later, Chef Remy Bones made a batch of human cupcakes for Oxana's book club and a batch of bouncing cupcakes for the upcoming surprise party. Vampirina and Demi like it.
Demi is confused over which batch to take to the book club when Vampirina tells the crystal ball what will happen afterwards. The guests will bounce all over, and Demi mixed up the tray of magical cupcakes with the regular ones. Later, Vampirina tells Poppy and Bridget about the luck she's had with the crystal ball. At school, Mr. Gore tells the class a story of Little Red Riding Hood when the crystal ball states what happened next. In the cafeteria, Vampirina, Poppy, and Bridget are having lunch when the crystal ball tells them what the lunch contains. Mr. Gore tells the class to not spoil the surprise about tomorrow's field trip when the crystal ball states that the trip is to a chocolate factory, and the class will go on a ride where they'll get a free chocolate bar at the end.
Poppy states that the crystal ball spoiled every surprise, and the ball states that she has to keep spoiling the future, like the surprise party at the Scare B&B that's about to start. As Vampirina and Poppy head upstairs, the crystal ball predicts the other Hauntley family members appearing. Esmeralda then appears, having revealed to have a "Find My Crystal Ball" app. Vampirina apologizes for using it without permission, as she doesn't like knowing the future all the time. Esmeralda states that it's a gift and a curse to always know what's next and that the future is often better left unseen. Vampirina understands, as when she first moved to Pennsylvania, what she first loved was that it was all new and unknown, and every day was a surprise. She wants her unpredictable life back, and Esmeralda apologizes for the surprise party. She then returns home as a magical storm with raining frogs is coming there, but remembers to get her coat before leaving. Later, Vampirina is welcomed by the Hauntleys and Esmeralda to the surprise surprise party, which was Esmeralda's party. Vampirina thanks her, and loves the party already.
