Has anyone ever watched the kids show Fireman Sam when they were young?
I have. The show revolves around a fireman named Sam and his friends who focuse on firefighting and rescue missions in the fictional Welsh town of Pontypandy, teaching children about fire safety and community service.
However, let me tell you about yet another discovery of a lost episode. The story begins here:
It all started when I was home alone.
Just then, I heard another knock on the door.
“What now?” I questioned.
I went to the door, opened it and saw a gray package with a note that read “Please, Sam massacred us… Save us…”.
“Who killed the owner of this DVD?” i muttered in fear.
I threw the note into the wind and grabbed the package as I took it in with me.
I then placed it on the table and grabbed some scissors from my room as I opened it. And to my surprise, it was an DVD.
The DVD cover had Sam, Elvis, Steele and Penny and all the characters in a background of pontypandy with a text above them saying “Fireman Sam: The Best Classics”.
“Fireman Sam, huh?” I wondered. “This has been the best show since 1987!”
I was now ready to watch the DVD, so I put the disc in my DVD player.
It began with the FBI warning screen, then it showed the HiT Entertainment logo. But it was off.
The background was dark purple, the blocks were red, and it looked like… HOLY FUCK. THEY WERE BEATEN TO STRAIGHT DEATH.
After that scary warning and that logo, it showed many previews from HiT Entertainment shows.
Then it took me to the menu, which was cool to look at.
The menu had Sam, Elvis, Steele and Penny on different colored squares on a blue background while the DVD logo can be seen on the top.
On the middle were 5 options, Play All, Episode Selection, Visit HiT Entertainment, Set Up, and Special Features.
I pressed Play All to… what else did you expect? Play all.
The following episodes played that were in order: Hearts on Fire, Disaster for Dinner, Spot of Bother, Halloween, Danger Falling Sheep and Fiery Finale.
After these episodes, a warning came up.
“WARNING: We know, we hate to tell you this, but this DVD contains a lost episode from the 5th season made by a former animator of HiT Entertainment, she goes by the name of Francesca Pavlovic. She was fired for her gruesome ideas for our episodes and shows, it is highly recommended that you will watch with caution if you are 18-years-old, please watch at your own risk.”
“Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me…” I groaned out of frustration.
The intro then played as in every episode from season 5 (Duh.). But however, the sky was night time and all the backgrounds were in shades of red, the music was also demonic too. Sam and his friends didn’t even give a fucking shit about that.
After that weird intro, the episode started to play.
The title card appeared in to read “Darkness on Wisteria Lane”, on a purple background with the Wisteria Lane location, except it was not live action, it was realistic, like any other live action show you could see, and there could be some smoke that can be faintly seen, along with Sam in his evil version.
“Wisteria Lane?!” i questioned in fear. “That belongs to Desperate Housewives, not this show.”
I shrugged it off and continued watching, hoping that it was just another prank.
The episode began at the fire station where Sam and Elvis are engaged in a conversation. Elvis appears visibly angry while Sam seems a bit apprehensive.
Elvis: Sam, do you not understand that you can’t go to nightclubs anymore without getting our permission first?!
Sam: Hey, calm down! I enjoy going to nightclu-
Elvis: *groans* No excuses! You’re grounded until Desperate Housewives airs.
This was shocking to me. Elvis has never displayed anger before, and Sam has never been grounded in the show.
Sam: Why are you grounding me?! *Groans in response*
Elvis, sticking to his decision, walks away without entertaining any further excuses.
Elvis: No excuses, like I said! *He exits the scene*
Sam, left alone, mutters to himself, regretting his decision to visit the fire station.
Sam: *mutters* I shouldn’t have come to the fire station…
As Sam ponders his options, he entertains the idea of moving to Wisteria Lane for a fresh start.
Sam: *thinks to himself* Hmm… What should I do? Maybe I could go to Wisteria Lane? *muttering*
After contemplating for a moment, Sam comes to a decision.
Sam: Yes! That sounds like a plan… Maybe I can meet some nice women there.
Suddenly, Steele enters the shot with a furious expression and confronts Sam about his nightclub escapades.
Steele: Oh my god, Sam! How could you go to nightclubs without our permission?! That’s it. Leave right now before I call the cops!
The unexpected turn of events shocks me more, as Sam has never been fired from the show before.
Sam: Fine… *Muttering as he walks away.*
Outside the fire station, Sam, feeling dejected after being fired, retrieves his firefighting hat, mounts the Jupiter, and drives off without anyone noticing.
Sam: *yells* Fuck you all!
I was also taken aback by Sam’s sudden use of profanity, as he has never sworn before in the show.
The scene transitions to Norman at Dilys’s place, pondering the events that transpired at the fire station.
Norman: Why would Steele fire Sam when he didn’t do anything wrong? And why would he go to nightclubs without their permission? *He looks perplexed.*
Dilys: NAUGHTY NORMAN PRICE!
Norman: Whoa, Dilys! What’s going on?
Dilys: I HEARD YOU STOLE A BUNCH OF TROPHIES AT WISTERIA LANE, AND NOW LOOK AT ME, NORMAN!
Norman: No, no, no, I didn’t steal any trophies! What are you talking about?
Dilys: You’ll see. Don’t lie about this! *She yells.*
Norman, feeling uneasy about the accusation, decides to distract himself by going outside to play football.
Norman: Oh boy. Am I being accused? This sucks. *He grabs a ball and heads outside to play some football.* Much better!
Just then, he hears music coming from a nearby nightclub.
Norman: What’s that sound?
Intrigued, Norman decides to investigate and finds himself at a nightclub filled with girls. However, to his surprise, they all appear hyper-realistic, not animated like in the show.
Norman: Whoa… This looks like fun! *He cheers excitedly*
The girls notice Norman’s arrival and react with various expressions, ranging from smiles to happiness.
Girl #1: Well, well, what do we have here?
Girl #2: It’s Norman Price! Dilys may call him Naughty, but I think he’s cute.
Girl #1: And smart too!
Girl #3: Hey Norman, would you like to be in a romantic relationship with us?
Norman ponders for a moment before responding.
Norman: Hmm… *mutters* Sure…
Girl #1: Well then, welcome to our fun!
Girl #4: Where it’s all about girl power.
The girls start singing.
Girls: *singing* Welcome in!
Norman, feeling excited, joins in enthusiastically.
Norman: Oh yeah, I can let loose in this place! *He shouts.*
Girl #5: Yeah! Let’s have a blast!
They all smile, and Norman joins in on the fun.
Norman: This is awesome! *He grabs a whiskey and takes a sip.*
Meanwhile, the scene cuts to Wisteria Lane, now portrayed in a realistic, live-action setting, unlike the animated version, taken from Desperate Housewives.
The scene fades to Bree, Gaby, Lynette, and Susan, deep in conversation about their plans for someone special.
Bree: Girls, have any of you come across a man who’s kind and respectful to young women like us?
Gaby: Yeah, why do you ask?
Susan: I haven’t seen anyone like that around here.
Lynette: Oh, I think I know exactly who fits that description. *She smirks.* Our little sweetheart, perhaps?
Susan: Yeah!
Bree and Gaby smile in agreement.
Bree: Yeah! What’s his name?
Gaby: He’s known as Fireman Sam, the hero next door…
Lynette: Really?
Gaby: Yeah! Let me tell you why Fireman Sam is adorable. He’s always there to save the day…
Lynette: I see. Can we refer to him as a cutie pie?
Susan: Absolutely, girls!
Bree: Woohoo! I can’t wait for him to come over, but first… Let’s discuss something privately in our bedroom.
Susan: Good idea.
They all leave the kitchen and head towards the bedroom, closing the door behind them without locking it.
Meanwhile, outside of Wisteria Lane, Sam arrives at the house.
Sam: Much better than living in a fire station. Haha… Let me give it a try.
He rings the doorbell, but there’s no response.
Sam: Hello? Anyone home? *He tries the door, finding it unlocked, and enters the house, only to discover it empty.* That’s strange… I guess I’ll crash on their couch so no one notices me. *He settles onto the couch and falls asleep.*
Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, the girls engage in a private discussion about Fireman Sam.
Bree: Did anyone else hear the doorbell?
Girls: Oh my! Yes, we did!
Bree: Alright, girls. Let’s go check it out.
Gaby: Oooh…
Lynette: Yep, let’s do it.
Susan: *smiles*
The girls exit the bedroom and return to the kitchen, where they discover Sam sleeping on the couch.
Sam: *snoring*
Girls: Aww… *They smile and exchange affectionate glances.*
Lynette: He’s absolutely precious when he’s asleep, girls.
Bree: You’re spot on, Lynette! Adorable indeed.
Susan: *approaches Sam and gently plays with his cheeks* You’re just too cute, cutie pie. I’m Susan.
Gaby: *joins Susan* And I’m Gaby. What’s your name, Sam?
Sam: Hi, girls… *muttering* I’m Fireman Sam. It’s nice to meet all four of you.
Bree: The pleasure’s all ours.
Lynette: Same here! *She and Bree join Susan near Sam.*
Susan: Count me in too. *She continues to affectionately play with his cheeks.*
Gaby: Me too. *She also joins in, gently caressing his cheeks.*
Gaby: Seriously, you’re just too cute. Every time we see you, we can’t resist playing with your face! *She smiles warmly at Sam*
Bree: Aww… Gaby’s right. Do you girls feel the same way?
Girls: Definitely! *They all smile in agreement.*
Lynette: I think Sam deserves all the love and affection from the four of us.
They all share a smile, feeling content.
Sam: Thanks for the compliments, girls. I really appreciate it.
Sam murmurs his gratitude to them.
Susan: You’re welcome! It’s our pleasure. *She smiles warmly as she continues to playfully interact with his cheeks.*
Bree begins to hum and sing a lovely song, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.
Susan: You’re just so lovely. *She gently kisses his cheeks while still enjoying their playful interaction.*
Lynette: Susan’s right. It’s like we can’t help but fall for him…
Gaby: I feel the same, Lynette.
Susan: Me too, girls.
Girls: *whispering* We love you…
They all continue to playfully interact with his cheeks, smiling, humming, and singing softly.
You’re just too precious, honestly. Incredibly adorable.
Susan: Cutie pie, may I hold you while you sleep?
Sam: *muttering* Sure thing.
Susan: Okay. *She gently holds Sam, cradling him in her arms like an adult.* Come on, sweetie… Time for bed… *She smiles warmly.*
Lynette and Bree smile affectionately at the scene while Gaby moves closer to Sam, softly playing with his forehead.
Gaby: *smiling* Hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm… Goodnight, Sam… Sleep tight… We’ll watch over you and make sure you’re okay, darling. *She hums softly.*
Susan: *also smiling* Sweet dreams, sweetheart.
Lynette: Goodnight, my little cutie pie!
Bree: Goodnight, darling.
They all share heartfelt smiles, continuing to play, sing, hum, and enjoy their time with Sam as he sleeps peacefully.
Meanwhile, at the nightclub, Norman and the girls continue to enjoy themselves.
Girl #5: This is amazing!
Girl #3: Woohoo! *Singing along to the music*
Girl #9: Aww…
Norman: Oh yeah! *with a mischievous grin*
Girl #8: Yahoo! Let’s keep the party going!
Girl #4: We even brought a cake for you, honey, with candles and everything. *She smiles warmly at Norman.*
Girl #2: And we’ve prepared some special dishes just for you!
Girl #1: Plus, we have some notes we’d like to share with you.
Norman: Oh, really?
Girl #1: Yes, it’s all set up in the private room. Go take a look, darling.
Norman: Alright! *He heads to the private room and is pleasantly surprised.* Wow! Oh my god. How did you… *He spots the cake with candles, dishes, and notes arranged on the desk.*
I’m really looking forward to trying this cake. *He approaches the cake with anticipation.*
Meanwhile, the girls continue to have a blast, chatting, dancing, and singing.
Girl #1: I hope Norman enjoys our surprise, girls!
Girls: *smiling* Yeah!
Girl #2: Oh yeah! *Joining in the singing* This surprise is going to be so much fun, girls.
They all smile in unison, enjoying the moment together.
Girls: So much fun!
Their smiles persist as they speak.
Girl #6: Absolutely, the fun never ends, and we’re loving every moment of it! *She beams with excitement.*
Girl #7: How about we hum a gentle, soothing melody while we dance?
The girls nod eagerly, and soon they start humming softly, adding to the tranquil atmosphere.
Back at Wisteria Lane, the atmosphere is serene as Susan sits in the bedroom, while Gaby, Lynette, and Bree continue to lovingly interact with Sam, singing, humming, and smiling tenderly at him.
Susan: *plants a gentle kiss on his forehead* How I wonder what you are… *she sings softly.*
Bree: Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are…
Gaby: Ooh, this song is so sweet.
Susan: That’s right, Gaby! “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” is a classic lullaby often sung to children at bedtime.
Lynette: It’s such a beautiful and soothing song.
Bree: Absolutely! It’s one of those timeless melodies that everyone enjoys singing along to.
Gaby: It’s like a perfect blend of a lullaby and a nursery rhyme, creating a calming atmosphere for bedtime.
Lynette: How I wonder what you are… *She continues to playfully interact with his cheeks.*
Susan: *also joins in, gently caressing his cheeks* You’re truly special.
The girls share warm smiles with him.
Lynette: *whispering to Susan* Should we move him outside? He might sleep more comfortably there.
Susan: That sounds like a good idea. We can continue to have fun with him while keeping an eye on him outside, just like we did in the bedroom.
Gaby and Bree: *smiling* Aw, this is so adorable.
They all exit the bedroom once more, with Susan still cradling Sam like an adult.
Outside, they carefully place Sam in a chair and cover him with a blanket, making sure he’s comfortable in his uniform.
Susan watches over him, continuing to sing, hum, and play with his cheeks, while Lynette, Gaby, and Bree do the same.
Susan: How I wonder what you are… *She sings softly, creating a soothing atmosphere.*
Lynette: *singing* Twinkle, twinkle, little star… How I wonder what you are.
Bree: Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky… *continues singing and humming.*
The girls thoroughly enjoy their time with Sam, singing, humming, and playing with him until Susan plants a gentle kiss on Sam’s cheek and whispers “We love you, cutie pie.” As they return inside, they settle on the couch, engaging in conversation while still singing, humming, and smiling.
The scene fades out as they continue to enjoy each other’s company.
Sam: *tiredly* Where am I?
He gets up from the chair and notices he’s outside, despite it still being nighttime.
Sam: I guess I’m outside. Glad I can just relax and unwind… *He mutters to himself.*
Sam notices smoke in the distance.
Sam: *sniffs* What’s that smell?
Before he can investigate further, the smoke suddenly surrounds him, and his appearance undergoes a drastic change.
Now, Sam’s eyes are black with red pupils, resembling Sonic.EXE. His uniform is crimson red with darker shades of purple and black, and his pants and boots are maroon.
As the smoke dissipates, Sam sinisterly smiles.
Sam: Well, well, well… Look at me.
He approaches the door and opens it without startling them.
Susan: *smiling* Wow! You look handsome in your new outfit, cutie pie!
Lynette: It’s adorable, but yes, he looks—
Sam interrupts Lynette by sinisterly saying “Looks like nobody in Wisteria Lane is safe. I’m going to make you four pay in heaven…”
Lynette: *sweetly smiling* What happened to you, Sam? You look different, but your new outfit suits you well.
Gaby: I agree.
Bree: Me too. We like your new look.
They continue smiling at Sam, unaware of the change in his demeanor.
Susan: You’re definitely special to us. *Sam suddenly teleports in front of Susan.*
She smiles warmly at Sam, admiring his new appearance.
Susan: Can I continue playing with your cheeks a little longer?
Sam: No, thank you.
Susan: *smiling* Oh, come on, darling… Why not? We just want to enjoy your company as long as possible.
Sam: Because soon, everyone like you four will be gone, and no one will be able to stop me… *He mutters sinisterly.*
Susan: *smiling curiously* Wow, that’s quite a statement, sweetheart. What did you say?
Gaby: What’s on your mind, cutie pie?
Bree: Cutie pie, what did you just say? *She smiles sweetly.*
Lynette: Whatever it is, Sam, we’re here for you. *She smiles gently.*
Susan: We all love you because you’re wonderful.
Lynette: Yeah, we love you and you’re very special to us.
Sam chuckled.
Lynette: What’s amusing, sweetie? *She smiles.*
Sam: Any final words, ladies?
Sam summons a portal resembling the void.
Susan: Oh, just a silly portal. *She smiles.*
Gaby: Where does it lead, Sam? *She smiles.*
Sam: VOID! *He shouts, snapping his fingers, causing Bree, Gaby, Lynette, and Susan to disappear into the void, their screams fading as the portal closes.*
Sam laughs maniacally.
Sam: Enjoy your time in heaven, ladies. *He smiles sinisterly as he walks away from the house, igniting it with a lighter before teleporting away.*
The scene transitions back to the nightclub, where Norman is still enjoying himself in the private room, while the girls continue dancing, humming, and singing.
Girl #4: Woohoo! This is so much fun! *She smiles.*
Suddenly, Fireman Sam teleports in front of them.
Girl #4: Whoa. What are you doing here?
Girl #5: Can I sing you a lullaby, or shall we dance together?
Girl #2: Or maybe we can play and kiss you all at once!
Sam: No, thank you. And if you’ll excuse me…
Girls: WHAT?!
Sam: You’re NEXT! I’m not sorry if this hurts.
Sam charges towards them like a bull, knocking them down, causing them to scream.
They collapse on the ground, lifeless.
Sam: *laughs foolishly* Have fun in heaven…
He then goes to the private room and sees Norman eating cake.
Norman: Whoa, Sam! What happened to you? I thought you were fired.
Sam: The girls are gone, and so are you.
Norman: What the heck?!
Sam grabs Norman’s cake and smears it all over his face, causing him to die instantly.
Sam: Just go to heaven already!
Sam then walks away from the nightclub until he reaches Dilys’s place.
Dilys is startled but manages to speak.
Dilys: Sam? What happened to you, and where’s Norman Price?
Sam: He’s gone, along with the other girls. Now it’s your turn.
Dilys: What?! Oh my god, are you okay?!
Sam: No. *He pulls out a shotgun and shot her in the head, causing her to die instantly.*
You deserve heaven already… *He laughs foolishly before walking away from Dilys’s place.*
The scene shifts to the Flood family’s house.
Mike: Has anyone seen Sam?
Mandy: No, I haven’t. Maybe he’s still upset about being fired.
Mike: Fired?! What do you mean?!
Suddenly, Fireman Sam teleports in front of them.
Mike: Uh oh… Sam? *He looks shocked.*
Sam: Well, Mike and Mandy, there’s nowhere else for you to run. Say goodbye—
Mandy: But I thought you were fired! And what’s happened to you?!
Sam: Some smoke possessed me and made me go on a rampage. Now, if you’ll excuse me, just shut up.
Sam then grabs a knife and presses it against Mandy’s chest, causing her to scream and collapse.
Mike: No! Mandy!
Suddenly, Sam charges at Mike like a bull, knocking him down to the ground.
Sam: *walking away, laughing offscreen.*
Enjoy your time in Heaven!
The scene cuts to the Fire Station again.
Steele: Let’s hope Sam doesn’t come back. I just fired him.
Dusty: *barking*
Penny: Me too. I never liked him.
Elvis: Me neither.
Steele: But did you see that smoke?
Elvis: No!
Suddenly, Fireman Sam teleports in front of them.
Steele: Oh my god, Sam! I thought I fired you. What happened?
Sam: pulls out an eraser and uses it on Steele.
“Go to heaven because you deserve it, damn…”
Elvis: OH BOY, HE ERASED OUR STEELE!
Dusty: *barking*
Sam erases Dusty too.
Elvis: HE ALSO ERASED OUR DUSTY!
Penny: Let’s get out of here before he gets us.
Suddenly, Sam teleports in front of them again.
Sam: *pulls out a knife.* Thought you could escape? I’m sorry, but you can’t. *He then stabs Penny’s chest, causing her to scream and collapse.*
Elvis: Penny!
Suddenly, Sam grabs Elvis by the neck and chokes him until he collapses.
Sam: Everyone is in HEAVEN! *he shouts before teleporting away from the fire station.*
The scene fades to Sarah and James driving a stolen car, reminiscent of GTA.
Sarah: Gosh, why are we stealing this car?
James: I don’t know. But maybe it’s rightfully ours.
Sarah: Yeah! But why are we driving it anyway?
James: Um…
Sarah: What’s wrong?
James: Did anyone see the smoke at Wisteria Lane? He attacked the girls from Wisteria Lane, then he went after Norman Price, and then Mike and Mandy!
Sarah: Uh oh… What should we do?
Suddenly, Fireman Sam teleports in front of them.
Sarah: Whoa, Sam, you look different…
James: What’s gotten into you?!
Sam: I am not Fireman Sam, I am Rampage Sam.
Sarah: What the heck?!
James: Oh no! Let’s get away from him!
Sarah: Good idea.
Before they can drive away, Sam grabs the car.
Sam: *shouting* It’s too late to escape, you guys!
He launches the car with James and Sarah inside, causing them to scream until they explode and are instantly incapacitated.
Sam: *laughing* Enjoy your stay in heaven! Because no one’s going to stop me.
Suddenly, he teleports away.
The scene transitions to a montage of Sam killing everyone in Pontypandy, including Trevor and others. They scream until it cuts to black, and Pontypandy is engulfed in flames.
Sam appears on the screen with a sinister smile.
Sam: Hi there! I have went on rampage and murdered everyone in Pontypandy, including the girls at Wisteria Lane. Oh, and one more thing: If you fire me or violate my rules, then you’re dead. Cause i’m coming for you next! Say goodbye to your miserable life if you excuse me…
Just then, Sam walked away offscreen, laughing stupidly.
It then fades to black for 1 second, until the credits then came up, but Sam remained evil and the text was in shades of red, the music was Davay, Avariya! By Diskoteka Avariya, only it was horror themed, and at the last part of the credits, he said this, which gave me chills down my spine:
“I’m right after you!”
The logos came up, but they’re surprisingly normal.
“Why would… he do that?” I muttered under my breath.
I went to get the remote but before I can, there was a jumpscare.
It was an edited picture of Pinky Dinky Doo from “Polka Dot Pox” where she looked in mirror and realized she got the Polka Dot Pox, but her eyes were red with black dots, and she was crying blood. The sounds of the Howie scream, the Godzilla roar, void sounds and various screams from TV shows were heard in the background, like the jumpscare from Pinky Dinky Doo: Pinky the Eraser.
The episode ended as it took me back to the main menu.
I was so scared and terrified, so I took the disc out of my DVD player and put it in the trash can.
How could they create something like this for a children’s show? I can never, ever watch Fireman Sam the same way again after this horrible experience.
(The end.)
