   1. Artificial Intelligence

   25 Sept 2004 · 25 min

   When a month-long solar eclipse takes place in Under, it becomes overrun by Brain Suckers, turning all their victims into mindless drones. They can be "resmartulated" with Vernon's solar-powered Resmartulator, but Bob tricks Vernon into smartulating him without being brain-sucked first, making him a super genius (at least by Bob's standards) and able to successfully take over Under. To stop Bob, Russell also has himself super-smarted, but he becomes conceited and uncaring as a result.

When they go to find Loopy, Russell and friends find a light signal of Cliff coming from the Valley of the Outies.

Fortunately, Bob, seeing them on the Mall, realizes Under is going to be saved either way and decides to do it himself and earn their undying gratitude.

   Populah is sent to Miss Atilla's School for Young Despots by Auntie and Tess. With Populah not having any despot edge, she can never graduate. So, Russell, Loopy, and Gus pretend to be girls and sneak into the school to help Populah win the despot derby for Populah for instant graduation. Bob also cross-dresses to get in as a teacher to steal Russell's crown, which had been taken from him when he enrolled.

   Loopy gives Russell an attachable tail as a King Appreciation Day gift, and Russell uses it to perform acrobatics at the traveling circus (ironically, the one Bob Wire was also working for). Unfortunately, when the circus is summoned to Emperor Lugobrius, they are faced with either making him happy with a good show or get shaved clean and locked away forever (like all the other entertainers who attempted to please him and failed).

   7. Slow Plums And Krenits

   6 Nov 2004 · 25 min

   Auntie First and Loopy are both swindled into getting the Ultimate Defensive Beasts: Krenits, thus both of their populaces had to remain perfectly still or be eaten by the monsters. Russell goes to get the Ultimate Offensive Beast, the Ippy Clippy, to get rid of them, but Bob beats them to the punch and they are locked in the Wall Eye (where the Ippy Clippy had been stored by Great Great Uncle Zeb) with a flotilla of monster guppies.

   13 Nov 2004 · 25 min

   After being weighed down by too much garbage the year before, the moon is about to crash into Under.

   9. Continent Adrift

   20 Nov 2004 · 25 min

   To gain favor with the Queen of Throng, Bob reverses the direction that Ahead of Under was moving and thus ends the motion sickness experienced by the continent's populace over the years. Unfortunately, this sent the landmass on a collision course with Under, and Russell has to travel to Ahead of Under and try to set things right before his kingdom's crushed. Meanwhile, Vernon and Populah have to protect Under from the ravenous Bedrock Beasts emerging from Ahead of Under.

Russell works with Captain Darling (who is also trapped with Auntie First on the island) to try to escape. Meanwhile, Vernon creates an Unmeltable Ice Cube that turns all liquid it touches solid, but when he tries to dispose of the dangerous invention, Bob Wire steals it to set up a bogus sales campaign.
