Summary
Charles Deetz believed himself to be a very organized person. The man's favorite aspect of that organization was his office, tucked away in a secluded corner of the house, away from the most frequented rooms to minimize any sounds and distractions.
There, he could concentrate. Calm, silent, and undisturbed.
The door slammed open.
"Dad!"
Or:
Beetlejuice gets in trouble, Lydia is a good friend and Charles has to step up to help his family.

Summary
The Maitland-Deetzes’ previous version of the color chart was much too complicated to refer to when it came to Beetlejuice’s hair color and mood; even after a few weeks of using it. Finding out that they need to change things up regarding the chart, Adam suggests the use of a brand new type of color chart: one he’s absolutely certain will be of more help.

Summary
Confronted with his mistakes, a regretful and traumatised Beetlejuice responds by regressing into a three-year-old. Literally.
This forces the Deetz-Maitlands household to take care of the demon who’d been terrorising them not five seconds ago, on top of dealing with their own issues.
Goes off-canon after the exorcism scene.
