The bakers dig deep to make buried alive trifles honoring the carnival's escape artist who went to an early grave. Then, John Henson shows the bakers the carnival's wind chimes, which look eerily like some of the missing family members' heads, and asks them to make shrunken head pies for judges Carla Hall, Stephanie Boswell and Zac Young.
Sword Swallow Your Pride
The bakers make desserts designed to melt after hearing John Henson's torrid tale of one of the carnival's most enthralling sideshow attractions, the Human Ice Pop! Then, a miscommunication spells the end for the sword swallower as the bakers create a dessert that swallowed another dessert to impress judges Carla Hall, Stephanie Boswell and Zac Young.
A Smashing Good Time
John Henson challenges the remaining bakers to create torta della nonnas that honor the matriarch of the Henson & Sons Carnival, the Tattooed Woman. Then, a mysterious swap smashes the Strong Man, which inspires the bakers to smash their desserts in front of judges Carla Hall, Stephanie Boswell and Zac Young.
Step Fright Up
As John Henson lays a dead flower to commemorate the lost souls at Henson & Sons Carnival, he asks the finalists to make flourless desserts. Then, the bakers create cakescapes depicting new carnival attractions for the grand re-opening, where judges Carla Hall, Stephanie Boswell and Zac Young will name the Halloween Baking Champion!
Rotten and Forgotten Desserts
Oh no! An ancient mummy is haunting the Fermentation Lab, munching on umami-filled ingredients like stinky cheese. This gives John Henson the idea for "umummy" desserts, and he tasks the bakers with creating sweet mummy treats that feature umami ingredients like red miso, aged parmesan, gochujang or soy sauce. Then, it's "bone appetit" for judges Carla Hall, Zac Young and Stephanie Boswell as the bakers get inspired by the lab skeleton, Skelly, to create Skelly's forgotten desserts, where they must use Halloween mini chocolate bars to create skeletal desserts.

Laboratory Story
Ten bakers explore the Chemistry Laboratory at Henson Labs, where the safety rating is negative 35. Lately, the spirits who haunt the lab have been demolishing all the beakers and petri dishes, so host John Henson leans into this devastation and tasks the bakers with creating broken glass desserts that feature sugar glass. Then, there's been a horrible spill in the Chem Lab, so John has a little fun with it and asks the bakers to create sinister bubbling desserts inspired by the toxic mess. Judges Carla Hall, Zac Young and Stephanie Boswell test their poison tolerance before sending one baker to the cryo-freeze.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
John Henson has a problem in the haunted Paranormal Research Lab, and he's hoping to summon the spirit of Beetlejuice to help broker a deal with the other spirits. To butter up the ghost with the most, John asks the bakers to make black and white desserts using black and white ingredients. Then, John challenges the bakers to create Shrinker desserts that feature a tiny desert on top and large dessert on the bottom. In the end, judges Carla Hall, Zac Young and Stephanie Boswell banish one baker to the cyro-chamber.
Otherworldly Treats
John Henson catches a spirit doing some imaging in the X-ray room! The films the spirits have been taking of themselves are monstrous, and John wants the bakers to use these X-rays as templates for build-a-spirit desserts. Then, the bakers enter the lab basement where the portal to the underworld is kept locked behind a secure heavy door, but lately ghouls have been letting all sorts of otherworldly creatures out! The bakers make a portal entremet that reveals an otherworldly creature to judges Carla Hall, Zac Young and Stephanie Boswell.
