Toadblatt's School of Sorcery: In a parody of the Harry Potter series, Grim sends Billy and Mandy to a sorcery school so the latter duo could avoid boring summer camps they were supposed to go to. The sorcery school is owned by Dean Toadblatt, an anthropomorphic frog. Billy and Mandy are sent to the most hated house on the school, Weaselthorpe, while Grim becomes a prefect for a more loved house, Gunderstank. Billy and Mandy team up with boy wizard Nigel Planter to sabotage Gunderstank. Planter takes all the credit for the sabotage (which was Mandy's idea), but he is punished once he is found out by Toadblatt.

Educating Grim: Billy and Mandy take a reluctant Grim to school with them. Mandy's nemesis, Mindy, befriends Grim to annoy Mandy and Billy calls for their other friend, who is Abraham Lincoln. Mandy devises a plan in which Mindy ditches Grim, and keeps Abraham as her friend instead.

It's Hokey Mon!: After watching Billy and Irwin play with their "Hokey Monsters" cards (parodying the Pokémon Trading Card Game), Grim makes the monsters come to life. Soon, all the other kids want their own cards to be real too, and the city is soon under attack by a multitude of Hokey Monsters. To put an end to the mayhem, Mandy draws her own card, Mandy's Monster, which defeats all the other monsters by turning them into toast.

Night of the Living Grim: Grim is lying sick in bed with "Encroaching Doom Syndrome". The Underworld doctors are not able to help Grim, and he becomes a human being. Back in Endsville, Grim seems attractive to women, but he ends up being punched by jealous boyfriends, especially Billy's dad Harold. Grim covers himself in the mucus that he produced when he was sick and becomes a skeleton again, and Billy tries it too.

Brown Evil: Part 1: Taking inspiration from his Pat the Baker video game, Billy decides to bake chocolate brownies. Billy uses "Evil Powder" from Grim's old trunk instead of salt, and the resultant brownies stink. Mandy tells Grim to get rid of the brownies, and he reluctantly does, but he also stores some of them in his skull. Soon, the stench of the brownies spreads through the world and starts resurrecting dead people, animals, and even food, as zombies.

Brown Evil: Part 2: Billy and Hoss Delgado, spectral exterminator, team up to destroy all the zombies that congregate outside the house, but the zombies reassemble into a bigger zombie. Delgado realizes that the zombie is after the brownies that Grim has in his skull, so Delgado and Grim battle furiously for them. The zombie eats the remaining brownies and falls apart.

Mandy, the Merciless: On a hot day when Billy, Mandy, and Irwin are bored, Grim uses a crystal ball to show them the future. In the distant future, Mandy has turned herself into a giant worm-like creature to be immortal, and now rules the whole world. Mandy gives false information to a clone of Billy to capture the members of a resistance that try to defeat her. The episode parodies the science fiction novel God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert.

Creating Chaos: When Billy, Mandy, and Grim go fishing, Eris, the goddess of chaos, gets Billy to help her use the Apple of Discord to create chaos (after her father grounded her). Instead of using the apple, Billy becomes distracted with his own idiotic errands, leading Eris to go insane. Billy finally decides to start creating chaos, but Eris is already too altered that she runs away.

The Really Odd Couple: Billy accidentally sets off a powerful stink bomb in Mandy's house and, while the house is being disinfected and fumigated, Mandy's family goes to live with Billy's. Billy and Mandy have a dispute over how to split Billy's room, prompting Grim to intervene. Mandy takes over the entire room, and imprisons Billy inside a brick wall with his mouth gagged by a dark red handkerchief..

Who Killed Who?: After excluding Mandy from their board game Who Killed Who? for being a girl, Billy and Irwin mistakenly throw their dice into the backyard of a haunted house. Grim warns them about the ghost of Mrs. Doolin, a lady that lived there. Mandy dares to go inside to retrieve the dice, and she befriends Mrs. Doolin, who is alive and well, and who says that all the stories told about her (that anything that went beyond her fence into her garden never came back) are inventions from Grim, whom she beat long time ago at a staring contest. Fearing for Mandy's life, Billy also ventures into the house, but Mrs. Doolin and Mandy scare him away by posing as ghosts. It appears that Mrs. Doolin is in fact a ghost, and when she meant "beating Grim", it meant that she "beaten death".

Tween Wolf: After when Grim fails to pull a werewolf out of his hat, Irwin is bitten by said werewolf. Billy takes Irwin as his new pet dog, naming him Sprinkles, and enters him in the Endsville Dog Show to compete against Mandy's dog, Saliva. At the contest, Sprinkles is about to win, so Grim releases a "were-flea" whose bite causes the werewolf to revert to a naked Irwin. It appears that Irwin won the contest anyway.

Piff gets a crush on Mandy (the same way Irwin had gotten before), who takes the opportunity to brutally turn him down.

Love is Evol Spelled Backwards: It's Valentine's Day and Nergal, the fiend living in Earth's core, appears in Billy's house to court Billy's spinster aunt Sis. Billy tries ruining Nergal's date, to avoid becoming his nephew.

The Halls of Time: After missing on a school trip, Grim takes Billy, Mandy and Irwin to the "Halls of Time" for a tour. There, Billy and Irwin mess the hourglasses that symbolize each person's lifespan.

Grim for a Day: After a lousy night for Grim, Billy and Grim argue about who has the hardest time, the kid or the Reaper of Souls. Mandy proposes they switch places for the day to find out. Grim seems to be having a good time, acting like a silly kid, while Billy is bored waiting for his old victim, Mr. Voorhees, to open the door. Billy transforms into a short skeleton, while Grim transforms into a taller version of Billy.

Chicken Ball Z: Grim's refusal to help Mandy win a karate tournament, and the $50,000 prize it promises to the winner, leads her to a curio shop, where the shopkeeper, Kuan Ti, gives her an ancient "Chicken Ball" which, when eaten, allows her to become a great fighter. Mandy easily wins the tournament and does not care about the money anymore, only about fighting. It turns out Kuan Ti is actually Eris in disguise, and this was just another of her schemes to create chaos. Seeing how he has a chance to get rid of the kids and finally be free, he tries to take advantage over this by making Billy a superb fighter too, so he and Mandy can fight ferociously to the death until the entire arena is destroyed. With both still alive, Mandy still demands the prize money, which she uses to buy Hector Con Carne's Bunny Island.

In the following, Billy and Yap-yap continue eating junk food, so Mandy suggest to use the antidote to the original remedy. Eventually, Yap-yap, now looking like a smaller version of Billy, detaches himself from Billy (which would have technically cured Billy without the need of him drinking the anitdote), and tries to escape from the antidote. In the end, Yap-yap drinks the antidote and is destroyed.

Billy, Mandy and Grim go trick-or-treating for Halloween, and Irwin is left behind because he needs a scarier costume. After pulling a trick on an old lady, and getting some candies, Grim tells the story of why people pull pranks, which he was partially responsible for. He tells about Jack (voiced by Wayne Knight), a prankster of the old Endsville who just never knew when to stop. One day, the citizens decided to punish him for his constant pranks, and they pulled a prank on the queen, but signed it "From: Jack"; in consequence, the angry queen sent a knight to kill Jack. When Grim went for Jack's soul, Jack stole his scythe. In return for his scythe, Grim promised Jack eternal life, but after closing the deal, Grim takes his scythe and cuts Jack's head off, showing that no one will "EVER" see his face again. Afterwards, Jack decided to use a pumpkin for a head, becoming Jack O'Lantern, and, suffering from the loss of his real head and learning his lesson about pulling pranks too far and whom he does them to, every Halloween he goes out to pull pranks on the citizens of Endsville, and waits 364 more days a year until next Halloween in solitary mode in his own house.

After hearing the story, Billy splits from the group and finds Jack's house downtown. Jack realizes Billy is carrying the actual Reaper's scythe, so he takes it from him and uses it to open the gates of the Underworld and bring forth ghosts, which cause havoc in the city. Jack then plans to get revenge on Grim by cutting his head off which, being cut with the Reaper's scythe, will stay off "forever". To stop Jack from carrying on with his vengeance, Mandy sets up a series of pranks for him. The pranks affect Irwin instead, causing major laughter from Jack and his ghouls, which explode and return to the Underworld. Grim recovers his scythe and sends Jack to the Underworld too.

Fiend is like Friend Without the "R": Billy wanders into a junkyard, where a massive hole in the earth opens up and pulls him down in. Later, Mandy and Grim get pulled in as well. They land at the center of the Earth, which is home of Nergal, a devilish creature. The lonely Nergal, who has been watching Billy and Mandy for some time, wants Grim to hand over the kids to him so they can be his friends forever. Grim happily leaves the kids behind as he returns to the surface; however, he later goes back for them because he can't handle the guilt of abandoning his friends. In the end, Grim is defeated by Nergal's electrified tentacles, but Mandy defeats Nergal merely by kicking him in the shin.

Recipe for Disaster: Billy, Mandy, Grim and Pud'n are part of the "Person Scouts" (a Boy Scouts-esque organization) and need to sell cookies in order to win a badge. However, as Billy eats all of the cookies, Grim proposes to bake their own cookies using his aunt Kali's secret recipe. The cookies are a success and the troupe wins the contest. In the end, at the Person Scouts awards ceremony, aunt Kali reveals that the secret recipe contains insects, but everyone continues eating the cookies anyway.

A Dumb Wish: While Spring cleaning in the middle of November, Billy takes an old, cursed lamp from Grim's trunk. When he gives it a rub, he releases the curse Grim had warned them about: his own mother. Having three wishes to make, Billy wastes his wish by wishing to know what to wish for. Mandy wishes Billy and Grim would "shut up", which causes both of them to zip their lips, so Grim never gets to make his wish. Then, Mandy decides to make the last wish to whoever makes her the happiest. In the end, Mandy wishes everyone in the world would go away, causing them, except Mandy, to disappear, which she is glad about.
