Billy Ocean

When Billy, Mandy and Grim go to the beach, Billy is swallowed by a whale known as Blubbery Joe, which also houses in her stomach Mister Geppetto and Pinocchio.

Mandy and Grim search for Billy on board Captain Deadwood's ship, who is made of wood and who has been hunting Blubbery Joe for years.

When Billy's mom tries to convince him to be a chiropractor instead, Billy runs away to Uncle Chokey's farm to pursue his dream. Billy and Uncle Chokey juggle chickens at the rhythm of an old phonograph, whose music turns the farm into a 1920s black and white rubber hose cartoon. Due to a shortage of eggs in the city, Mandy and Grim go to the farm to investigate. They destroy the phonograph and things return to normal.

They meet a girl named Blandy, who looks very much like Billy, and Billy falls completely head-over-heels in love with her. When Blandy shows romantic interest in Grim, Billy is struck with mad jealousy and wants Grim out of the picture.

To help Cragorah, Grim transforms Billy into a giant monster too (a parody of Ultraman).

With Irwin's arm and Mandy's cheerleading the team reaches the finals. Mindy tries different ways to get back at Mandy and recover her job, but she ends up affecting her own team, which eventually loses the game.

Druid, Where's My Car?

When Billy gets his kite stuck in a tree, he starts throwing objects at it to knock it down, including Mandy and a group of three boy scouts, but all objects get stuck too. Frustrated, Billy and Grim call a druid for help, who in turn trains them to become druids, so the three of them can perform a ritual. Meanwhile, inside the tree, Mandy battles a group of squirrels, and leads the scouts back to the ground. Since the druidic chants did not work against the tree, the druid goes ahead and uses a chainsaw to bring the tree down, but this gets him arrested.

Herbicidal Maniac

When General Skarr tries to get rid of a weed in his otherwise perfect garden, he asks Grim to use his scythe to do the job. Billy drives a lawnmower and ruins the garden; also, the scythe's magic accidentally shoots Skarr, transforming him into a plant-like creature.

Hoss Delgado, spectral exterminator, arrives saying that everything has been that way since he started dating Eris, the goddess of chaos. Mandy assures Delgado he must break up with Eris to restore chaos, but fearing her temper, he is reluctant to do so.

Since Grim is so used to having two kids with him when they go on an adventure, he enlists Mindy and Pud'n to help him combat Skarr and retrieve his scythe. Mindy and Pud'n prove to be worthy substitutes but they are scared away by Mandy when she notices the unusual trio

Pandora's Lunch Box

There is a new student in the school, named Dora (parodying Dora the Explorer), who insists on getting people to open her lunch box.

While noting something strange with Dora, Grim does not recognize her as Pandora until it's too late and she tricks Mandy into opening Pandora's box, releasing all kinds of plagues upon humanity.

Billy and Mandy vs. the Martians

When Billy destroys Grim's favorite childhood toy, Fancy Jake, Grim feels devastated and wishes he had never lost the limbo game that made him become Billy and Mandy's best friend forever and ever.

In consequence, Grim follows the lawyer's advice, opens a mystical portal, and leaves.

Mandy quickly restores her tyrannic control over her parents, and shows the nanny she actually controls everything and everyone.

Due to his friendship contract, Grim is unable to break free, and he is forced to battle Dickie to recover his place as the "cleaning monkey" of the group.

Mandy's condition progresses and she completely turns into a giant spider, who captures Billy's parents and Grim.

Billy stays with the unicorns and Mary-Frances goes back with Mandy and Grim to watch TV.

As Billy, Mandy, Grim, and Irwin hang from a rope about to be eaten by a giant sea serpent, Irwin wonders how they came into that trouble.
