This post covers 'What's Got into Betty?'. If you want to avoid spoilers, you can listen to the episode here.
Having featured the most famous monsters in the past two series, I started to delve deeper into supernatural lore for this run. Hence the drude this week and the nautical beasts in the prior episode.
Betty's announcement that she wants to no longer be targeted - 'I'm sick of being used to freak you out' - was my way of declaring that I would stop making Betty a victim. I did not want her being hurt to be a recurring motive to spur Johnny to action.
Episode two ends with the case closed, but the motive behind it an unresolved mystery. This was my attempt to make the storyline a bit more serialised. In previous runs, the first episode of each series would reintroduce the status quo, the second would be a standalone, and the third would hint towards the series arc's upcoming Big Bad.
The post-credits outtake has Arfie deliver the closing line 'guess I'm going... BACK TO SCHOOL' as if it's said with a look to camera and a cheesy guitar riff to transition to the next scene.
