| Episode 26 : FBI Warning of Doom GIR can't stop watching the video he rented-- Intestines of War. ZIM happens to be in the room when GIR starts watching it again, and he sees the FBI warning at the beginning of the tape. When the Video Outhouse calls for them to return it, ZIM freaks out and suspects that there's some evil doings behind it. His computer doesn't know what the FBI is, but when he asks it to make an educated guess, the computer suspects an alien-hunting agency. ZIM rushes to the mall where the Video Outhouse is, but it's closed. He breaks in and searches for the store, when he is spotted on the security cameras by vigilant guard Slab Rankle. Rankle commands ZIM to leave, and tells him that he's tangling with something far greater than the FBI: mall security. ZIM is not impressed. He continues hunting for the Video Outhouse, but Rankle transforms the mall into a mass security zone with laser walls and grappling hooks shooting out of every orifice in the walls. ZIM is caught and Rankle, after lecturing him about the importance of rules, throws him into a pit where several people are also being held-- a MacMeaties employee, a NASAPLACE worker who can't stop singing, and Scary Monkey, among others. ZIM tricks the prisoners into sneaking him out, and continues his quest. Slab Rankle spots ZIM once again and sends some more grappling hooks after him, but ZIM manages to reach Rankle's office and swipe the DVD of Intestines of War. As he approaches the Video Outhouse, Rankle goes for one last attack-- hundreds and hundreds of zombies. But the undead beasts are no good, and basically ooze around the mall, falling apart everywhere. ZIM is disgusted and finally reaches the Video Outhouse. He returns the tape, and starts to leave when Rankle offers to make ZIM the co-security chief. A tempting offer, but ZIM doesn't think so. |
| Episode 27 : Battle of The Planets ZIM discovers that there is no life on Mars and reasons that whatever destroyed its people will be effective in his destruction of Earth. ZIM and GIR head to the red planet to investigate, as Dib watches them from a monitor on Earth. Soon ZIM realizes that Mars has been converted into a spaceship and decides to roll it over Earth as a way of destroying it once and for all. Dib is determined to stop him and with the help of a Swollen Eyeball member, gets to Mercury, which can also be steered like a spaceship. The two then literally conduct a battle of the planets, with Dib the victor. |
| Episode 28 : Abducted ZIM is trying to explain the foreign concept of the humans being both dumb AND tall to the Almighty Tallest, but they don't get it. ZIM sends GIR to answer the doorbell when it rings, and suddenly the transmission is cut short. He finds two aliens in horrible costumes in his living room. The aliens try to pose as humans, but ZIM doesn't give them a second thought, telling them their spaceship is interfering with his transmission. The aliens go to plan two-- they stuff ZIM in a sack, and bring him aboard their ship. Soon, though, ZIM finds that these aliens are not your typical, fierce aliens. In fact, they're basically just morons who happen to have a huge spaceship. They believe that they're the superior creatures in sci-fi movies, but they have no idea what they're doing. Every creature they have ever abducted has escaped. They experiment on ZIM using a gopher and a piece of duct tape. ZIM eludes them easily and, with the help of an immobile blob (the ONLY successful abduction by the idiots), makes it off the ship with a slightly higher respect for the human race. |
| Episode 29 : The Sad, Sad Tale of Chickenfoot Mysterious Mysteries is getting worse than ever. Their latest case is the mysterious Chickenfoot, a creature that is neither man nor chicken. But Dib sees that it is obviously just a guy in a Mr. Chickylicky suit. After an embarrassing encounter with various world leaders, Dib is furious that the good name of paranormal science is being ruined like this. He sets out to investigate, meeting up with two insane restaurant workers, Maria and Eric, and finally finds Chickenfoot. Chickenfoot is a man named Chuy Rodriguez, under the delusion that he is a mutant, fused to his suit forever after an encounter with a defective microwave oven of DOOM and forced to live his life on the fringes of society. Dib notes that the zipper's probably just stuck, but Chickenfoot refuses to believe it. Dib takes Chickenfoot to the hospital, and with the help of a Chickymeal toy, frees Chickenfoot from the suit. It seems that Dib has finally succeeded in preserving the art of TRUE paranormal science by proving Chickenfoot a fake, but in the end, Mysterious Mysteries starts to question the validity of parascience in general. |
| Episode 30 : Megadoomer The Almighty Tallest are examining a storage planet, looking for useful goods to aid the Invaders on their missions. Red shows Purple the Megadoomer Combat Stealth Mech, a gigantic destruction machine. Purple doesn't like it. But it doesn't matter, it's going to Invader Tenn to help her conquest of planet Meekrob. They move on to another compartment-- full malfunctioning SIR units (think 20 GIRs in the same room with firepower, and you get the idea). Purple decides to send them to Earth. But when the packages are being shipped, one of the alien slaves on the shipping planet decides to revolt and stages a revolution-- starting by swapping the addresses on Invader Tenn's and Invader ZIM's packages. Meanwhile, ZIM has had a very frustrating day, and is furious at Dib. He arrives home to find a package on his lawn, and opens it to find the Megadoomer. He attempts to operate it, but discovers it has no batteries. GIR plugs the Megadoomer into a wall outlet, and the rampage begins. ZIM powers on the stealth, and the robot vanishes, but ZIM and the power cord are still visible. ZIM doesn't realize it, though, and begins a stealth rampage through the city. But the power cord is too short, and the Megadoomer is unplugged, so it's visible again. ZIM and GIR continue through the city, constantly replugging the Megadooomer into different outlets, and finally arrive at Dib's house. Dib isn't afraid at all, and points out that ZIM's mighty Irken cloaking technology makes the robot visible, not the person inside. ZIM is confused, and in a rage, tries to fire everything the Megadoomer has on Dib. Soon, the entire city is in a blackout, but the Megadoomer overloads and turns visible again. Dib takes out his camera, and with GIR's help, starts snapping picture of the robot. ZIM presses the self-destruct button on the Megadoomer, and tries to wrestle the camera away from Dib. They continue the pointless struggle until a bird takes Dib's camera. |
| Episode 31 : Lice Dib is delivering to his class a speech about how Galileo was ridiculed and called crazy, but then everyone was sorry for having doubted him when his theories were proven true. Suddenly, Melvin shows up late for SKOOL because his head's itchy. Ms. Bitters screams out, but it's too late-- a swarm of lice from Melvin's head infects the whole SKOOL, except for ZIM and Ms. Bitters, who show no signs of itching. Ms. Bitters signals to the Countess von Verminstrasser, a.k.a. the Delouser. The Delouser seems to be insane as she quarantines the entire SKOOL and allows for no escape. She sends ZIM and Ms. Bitters to be tested, but Ms. Bitters won't allow a skin sample to be taken. Meanwhile, Dib and Melvin try to figure out the Delouser's true purpose. They overhear the Delouser explaining to Gretchen about how her theory of a "louse queen" has been ridiculed for years, but now can be proven true. Dib and Melvin encounter the Delouser, and Dib tries to explain to her that she's insane. Out of nowhere, the floor collapses and the entire SKOOL winds up in a deep underground tunnel where a gigantic louse is planting eggs in the hair of 15 captured students. Dib realizes the irony that he called the Delouser crazy, even though everyone does the same to him. One of the Delouser's assistants arrives and tells her that ZIM's skin can destroy lice. The Delouser put's ZIM inside a strange cannon that shreds his skin off, liquifies it, and sprays it everywhere. The louse queen melts, and the entire SKOOL is decontaminated. Dib apologizes to the Delouser for being wrong about her. In the end, everything's back to normal, except that ZIM is in enormous pain and Ms. Bitters won't admit to anyone that she has lice. |
