Payback is the first segment in the Season 4 episode "Terror Tales of the Park II". It aired on October 15, 2012, and was written & storyboarded by Benton Connor and Hilary Florido.
Like with the rest of the "Terror Tales" saga, this story is non-canon, and treated as an in-universe story told by Mordecai.
Synopsis[]
Mordecai is haunted by the ghost of his dead uncle.
Plot[]
Mordecai and the others (along with Mordecai's Uncle Steve) are at the bowling alley, playing through a game (Uncle Steve did not play). Everyone else wanted to go home after they finished, as Uncle Steve was creeping them all out, but Mordecai managed to convince them to play one more game.
After loaning Uncle Steve five dollars (as he was short on money to be able to pay for the game, after he purchased a light-up bowling tie), Mordecai starts dancing in excitement, but he ends up bumping into Uncle Steve, whose tie gets dragged into the ball return, killing him. After Uncle Steve's funeral, Mordecai begins seeing Uncle Steve's ghost everywhere, due to the guilt he felt for being involved in his death.
Uncle Steve's ghost finally shows itself for real, and he chases Mordecai (and later Rigby) all the way to his grave site, before revealing that he just wanted to return the five dollars Mordecai lent him. Mordecai takes the money back, and Uncle Steve's ghost digs himself back underground.
