Further proof that this insane meme has possessed me: the entire first season of Timeshare, with episode titles and summaries.
ETA: And then I added about half of the second season, because... because I did.
ETA 2: AND THEN I added the rest of season 2. Oh my god, I am done!
Season 1
1 - Inspector Channing Takes a Case
Eve arrives in Ebenezer and is surprised to discover that the house she will be living in is the largest freestanding structure in town, aside from the Church, the Synagogue, and the Town Hall/Public Library. At Honeysuckle Sweets she meets most of the main cast. She begins her job at the library. Curious about the real estate dilemma, she searches through the records and finds several inexplicable facts. At the end of the episode, Vivi Birch convinces her to become the Town Clerk.
2 - And Then There Were Three
Eve shares her findings and suspicions with Sonali, and uses her position as Town Clerk to do further research. She meets Benjy, another recent arrival who also wants to get to the bottom of Ebenezer's mystery. The three of them continue looking through the records. They discover several very strange anecdotal accounts from the town's past. Meanwhile, Virgil and Arnold begin a feud after a fire in Arnold's kitchen spreads to Virgil's chambers and Virgil's efforts to put it out ruin Arnold's daily special.
3 - The Next Circle Down
The action focuses on Virgil and Arnold's continuing feud, one notable event of which is Arnold setting up his glass harp in the cafe and playing it while Virgil has lunch. Virgil retaliates by reciting dull regulations through a megaphone in the cafe. At the end of the episode, tired of doing both their jobs in spite of them, Sonali forces Virgil and Arnold to make peace. In the meantime, Eve has been dealing with strange emergencies as Town Clerk, and realizing that Vivi has a bit of a thing for Jon.
4 - The Past is Another Country
Jon invites the entire town to a historical ball to be held in the Town Hall's assembly room. Unfortunately, he has neglected to do the necessary organization, so Eve, Sonali, and Benjy enlist the help of the town's older children with the promise of community service hours. Working together, they barely manage to finish in time. Catering, of course, is done by Honeysuckle Sweets. The ball is a success, although Magda Havasi at last appears midway through it, dressed as a Puritan. She and Vivi have a vocal and mostly one-sided disagreement on the dance floor. The morning after the ball, Magda leaves again.
5 - Air and Fire
At the end of August the town is hit by an unexpected and deadly heatwave. Vivi and Sonali use organization skills and plenty of ice-cold lemonade to carry the town through it without panic. Eve quickly begins to suspect that the heatwave is an unnatural phenomenon and goes through the library's weather records, though she is distracted by the need to maintain the climate control in rooms of the library containing delicate texts.
6 - Shampooed Spinach and Other Alliterative Disasters
Arnold and Virgil find themselves forced to work together to solve the seemingly supernatural problems of the hair salon/greengrocers next door. They find that cooperating may be even better than antagonizing each other. Meanwhile, after spending several episodes working up the nerve, Benjy asks Eve on a date. She politely and apologetically turns him down. To prove there are no hard feelings, he sets himself the ill-advised task composing a song in her honor.
7 - Obfuscation 101
Eve's parents, Ray and Delilah, come to visit her for the weekend, staying at the town's only bed and breakfast (sharing a building with the post office). As she tries to keep them from discovering that anything is amiss, Eve finds herself embroiled in her next-door neighbors' familial disputes. Magda returns for a few days and takes up residence in her house, prompting Eve to spend more time out of the house. Her parents eventually discover the town's peculiarities on their own and wish Eve luck in unraveling the mystery.
8 - Sooth the Savage Breast
The Ebenezer Day School has a talent show, in which Jillian will be playing two violin pieces. She invites everyone she perceives as her father's friend, which includes most of the cast. Apparently supernatural events threaten to derail the show until Virgil, by questioning the participants and their parents, discovers the entirely mundane cause. The show goes on. Afterward, Sonali shares her history with Eve.
9 - The Spelunker's Dilemma
Vivi and Jon, as the Town Supervisor and her deputy, conduct an annual review that unearths previously unknown personality clashes between them. Meanwhile, Eve, Sonali, and Benjy at last resolve to search through the upper floors of Magda's house, but it turns out to be both difficult to access and entirely unnavigable. Afterwards, none of them can quite remember what they found.
10 - The World in the Library
While reshelving books, Eve discovers a hidden room in the library, which she and Jon begin to explore. For a while, they become lost in what appears to be another floor altogether, strangely influenced by the books that fell through when it was discovered. When they at last return to the true library they are unable to find the room again. Meanwhile, Honeysuckle Sweets caters a large wedding, and Arnold finds himself teaching Virgil the rudiments of baking in order to meet the deadline.
11 - Earth and Water
During a violent thunderstorm Magda returns to Ebenezer, seeming worried. The storm floods the town and keep going. When it ends, it is impossible to get in or out of town for several days, even for Magda. Eve spends this time attempting to surreptitiously question her about the property arrangement in the town. Eventually, Magda reveals that she is "an occultist" who has been placing people and property according to some arcane scheme, aimed at keeping the town safe from unspecified malignant forces. Eve shares this with Sonali.
12 - Elementals, 13 - New Order
The two-part season finale, in which the true nature of both Magda and the forces she claims to be combating is revealed to all of the main cast, who then find themselves participating in a battle they cannot understand against foes they often suspect are more than a little metaphorical. In the end, though no one is quite sure how, Magda assures them that they have carried the day for the moment. She promises to keep them in her confidences in the future, though at the end of the episode she leaves again. Eve begins to suspect that the true problem has something to do with time and space in an entirely different way from the one they are familiar with -- two towns out of time are vying for the same geographical location. It even explains Ebenezer's stubborn refusal to receive cell phone signals. She finds that Sonali has shared her suspicions for a while, but neither knows what to do about it.
Season 2
1 - Growing Pains
In the aftermath of the last season's finale, the characters must adjust to the new circumstances, which is made more difficult by Magda's conspicuous absence despite her promise. Jon has reacted by burying himself in research. Arnold is busily crafting his best cupcakes yet. Vivi is behaving strangely, and no one can find out why. At the end of the episode, everyone has gathered to talk it out and establish some kind of procedure.
2 - Exiles Among Us
When Virgil is presented with a unique case on one of his official court dates, he finagles Sonali into participating in the trial, as counsel for the defense. Despite having no legal experience outside of fiction, Sonali brushes up on her To Kill a Mockingbird and does her best. Magda returns, and with Eve's help discovers that Benjy is a member of the other side, though he himself is unaware of this. Eve convinces Magda to spare him, arguing that it would do more harm than good to kill him.
3 - The Fine Art of Substitution
When Eve is offered another job, she considers relocating, causing some consternation to other townsfolk. As though circumstances are trying to demonstrate just how good of an idea that would be, Arnold comes down with a flu that forces him to keep out of his kitchen. Sonali convinces Eve to help out, along with Virgil, and together the three of them make an absolute mess -- not even Sonali's talents can overcome the destructive power of slapdash baking. After three days, they welcome a mostly-recovered and rather irritable Arnold back. Also, Magda announces her intention to remain in Ebenezer semi-permanently. Eve finally decides to stay.
4 - Coming and Going
This episode is split in focus between the preparations and celebrations surrounding Jillian's eleventh birthday, and Vivi's trip to Philadelphia to attend her father's funeral and visit with various family members. For Jillian's birthday, her mother, Jon's ex-wife and a commercial pilot, comes to Ebenezer for the day and wreaks a bit of havoc. Vivi has disagreements with her two older sisters, her younger brother, her mother, and several of her nieces and nephews. She returns to Ebenezer in a bad mood, but her mood seems to improve when she receives a call from an unknown caller at the close of the episode.
5 - Better Living Through Natural Vapors
When a gas main underneath Ebenezer's Main Street unexpectedly explodes, a group of children is trapped in a school bus as another explosion threatens. Believing there is no time to wait for proper authorities, Arnold saves the day, nearly getting himself killed in the process and waking to find that he has been airlifted to an Albany hospital. Virgil is both angry and admiring. Sonali is just angry. Meanwhile, Eve, irritated by Magda's irregular and still unexplained habits, moves in with Sonali.
6 - Primary Sources
Eve briefly visits the other town, and when she returns, she finds that she has brought a stack of old letters, photographs, and other materials back with her. They are all connected with what seems to be a murder mystery, so Eve gathers her friends and associates together, assigning them bits of the material and "characters" from the materials so that together they can get to the bottom of the mystery. When they have succeeded in solving the mystery, Eve presents their findings to Magda in the hope that she will be able to get them to the people who need them.
7 - Silence
Through persistent curiosity, Eve discovers that some of Magda's odd behavior (and, now that she thinks about it, some of Vivi's even stranger behavior) can be accounted for by the covert romance Magda and Vivi have been carrying out. She is sworn to secrecy, though it hadn't even occurred to her to tell anyone; she was too busy trying to wrap her mind around it. Much of the episode focuses on Magda and Vivi's routines, both separately and together.
8 - Pure of Heart
The town becomes sealed off from the outside world. Nothing gets in, and driving out of town in one direction only leads you right back into it in the other. As our heroes do their best to keep the other townspeople calm, they also try desperately to find a way out. Before they can, however, more dire problems arise. Benjy becomes aware of his true identity and dies attempting to prove his loyalty to his friends. The episode ends with a short, bleak funeral, as the town is still trapped and everyone feels that Benjy's death was unnecessary, even if it has bought them some time.
9 - Nightmares and Raptures
With Ebenezer still sundered from the outside world, the fabric of reality begins to come unstuck. The cast is visited is by waking dreams and sleeping visions. They want to be alone with these visitations, but they find that the only way to keep them at bay is to gather together. Despite the dire circumstances, the episode is focused primarily on introspection. There are tangible differences among each character's dreams: difference filters, different perspectives, different flow of time. At last, all our heroes minus Magda wander into a single dream and find each other to await what comes next.
10 - Rearview
As conditions deteriorate, our heroes realize that they trapped in Magda's memories. When everyone notices that Eve is looking to Vivi for guidance, Vivi decides that keeping her and Magda's relationship a secret is no longer a concern. The group is split up into smaller sets, who must work their way through key events in Magda's life. Arnold is uncertain that any of it is real, though that doesn't stop him from operating on the assumption that it is. At last, they meet Magda in what appears to be a garden, though it's like no garden they have ever seen.
11 - The Garden
This episode is allegory run wild as our heroes wander through the Garden, trying to work out just what mythology they've managed to get themselves into. In an attempt to relieve the tension, they draw on their knowledge of symbolism and literary interpretation to attempt to explain what is going on around them. Many off-color jokes result. On their travels, they encounter guides, foes, and mystical creatures. They are tested. Some pass and some do not, but they don't know which until they have reached the end of the Garden. In the end, only Eve, Arnold, and Vivi pass through. Magda is furious at being denied, but it does no good. Those who have not passed return to Ebenezer. Those who have, move on. (And the fans hopefully forgive the powers that be for having an episode called "the Garden" in a show whose main character is called "Eve." So sorry. No snakes in this, I promise!)
12 - The Back of the Mirror
Eve, Arnold, and Vivi, having passed through the Garden, arrive in the other town and meet their counterparts, who have also been stuck in their borders and looking for a way to separate the two towns. After some initial hostility followed by questioning each other about major historical events (which mostly, but not entirely, match up), the two groups agree to work together for their common end, and they learn what must be done to bring things back to normal. Unfortunately, it is likely to result in the complete destruction of one or both towns, and there's little they can do about it. However, knowing that destruction is certain if nothing is done, they do it. The episode ends in blinding-flash-of-light sort of cliffhanger.
13 - Equilibrium
A normal day in Ebenezer begins. We follow Eve through her routine. As she walks to work, we see a car drive out of the distant mountains and into the town. Soon enough, we notice that sometimes the familiar people she meets aren't quite the way they ought to be. Sometimes the street signs and businesses aren't quite right. But then they settle back to their accustomed forms, and towards the end of the episode, the reverberations have stopped altogether. Before they do, the eeriest example of it happens during a phone call (using a land line, of course) between Eve and her mother, during the precise details of the family stories Delilah is telling flicker through several stages of change, before returning to what they originally were. We briefly visit each of the characters. In the end we are left with Eve and Sonali's not very secure ruminations: they have no idea what happened to the other town. They don't know if this will all happen again.
They aren't even entirely sure they're in the right town.
PS: I've updated the cast to include the library cats, Jillian, Eve's parents, and Eve's amazing Lime Green Suitcase, which gets most of the opening sequence of the first episode devoted to it, because it's just that amazing.
