When it comes to entering Downtown Quillsville, Ava keeps having flashbacks of the shootings and therefore must step back. She goes to the restroom at AldiMart to cool down.
(Part 3):Craven Gifts experiences discontinuation from business after the wholesale of economical flowers and gifts from AldiMart, rendering Ava unemployed and forcing her to collude in a plot to disrupt a publicity stunt.
(Part 4): The aftermath of the gas explosion leaves Ava suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder around flowers, a now bald Baxter repressing her grief for Jasper (who was the only casualty in the explosion) by becoming an LGBT activist while angry, and Deanna worried about death.

A shy and quiet Angela Baker (Shushu), living with her eccentric aunt Dr. Martha Thomas (Lisa Shanks) and cousin Ricky (Rags). Martha sends the young teens off to summer camp at Camp Arawak. After the arrival of the teenage campers, several are mysteriously murdered by an unseen killer. All of the victims had at one point teased or tormented Angela, dying soon after.


Season 7 (2019–20)

In the seventh season (the first to air on WEVI-FTV Indianapolis), Ava Zinn took complete control of the show. Aside from the six year hiatus and the number of overall changes. Ava Willis is permanently promoted to manager of Craven Gifts. Angie gets a permanent job at the Mississinewa Cola Company.


Notable changes to several characters as follows: Ava begins wearing her hair grey yet keeps her hairstyle from "Ava's Makeover", Angie becomes obsese and also goes wears her hair red/aburn, Deanna becomes a brunette, and Rags transitions to female and now goes by Tabby as well as becoming obese. Melissa appears wihout bangs in her hair.

Probably the most memorable aspect to the seventh season is the four-part episode "The Rape of Heather Willis", which may have drawn from some #MeToo scandals that were prominent in the news. Heather grappled with the effects and aftermath of rape, after she was attacked and raped by one of the male employees at Craven Gifts (in that episode, Heather reveals she got pregnant), whom Heather gets revenge.

During a party Angie Willis accidentally steps into Brynn's time machine (mistaking it for a bathroom), forcing Heather, Tabby, Shushu and Brynn to take a return pad and go after her. They find Angie in a Salt Lake City synagogue, thinking she is in heaven since she sees dead family members there. They soon realize the date is July 4, 1970, the day Angie Willis is born. The return pad breaks and they decide to go to California, where it will be safe to repair it. In California, Brynn realizes that the return pad is out of uranium fuel and Heather suggests they find some in a nuclear-testing facility in San Francisco. At the facility Brynn disguises herself as a chemist; Angie, Heather, Tabby and Shushu disguise themselves as members of NWA, and obtain the needed uranium. They then encounter the NWA members (who orders their execution), but they escape on the return pad back to their own time and arrives back in Brynn's room 30 seconds before Angie entered the time machine. To keep these events from repeating, Brynn kills the version of Angie who traveled with them.
