S3E7 · Being Tommy Dawkins

Merton noticed that Pleasantville once held a witch trial while fetching the basketball for a game between Tommy, Lori, Merton, Chuck and his friends. A conversation led to Merton saying that he had a girlfriend, and remembered the name of the witch who was burned at the stake. After repeating her name three times, she was released from the tree. Chuck told them that he wanted Merton to bring along his girlfriend to the Factory. Merton had to come up with a plan fast because he did not have a girlfriend but the witch came to the rescue, and she became Merton's girlfriend for a reward for releasing her from the tree. When the girl was getting on Merton's nerves, he had to break up with her, but Lori told Tommy and Merton that the witch had brutally killed her ex-boyfriends because they were trying to break up with her, and that was why she was burned to death.
