Merton's ex-girlfriend, Hilary Choate, was running for president of the school, and Merton was trying to ruin her campaign, and Hilary said to Merton that if she won, she would disband the ""Goth Club"", so he went to Tommy to make him start a campaign for president, running against Hilary, because he was very popular. When Hilary said to Mr. McGovern that she would give her soul to win the election, this tweaked Mr. McG's interest and made sure that Hilary had won the election, so he could enter her soul so he would not have to be thrown away by the captain in hell. Merton and Tommy must save her soul before Mr. McGovern takes her sould back into the underworld.
