Grim gets so sick he becomes alive.

to:

Mandy's hanging out at Billy's house, reading a magazine on the couch, while Billy's playing a video game called "Attack of the Non-Toxic Edible Green Slime," where the hero's catchphrase is "It's time to eat some slime." Billy sees some green slime floating in the air and attempts to eat it, but fails. Mandy hears some sneezing coming from one of the bedrooms at Billy's house, and it turns out that the green slime is coming from Grim, who's lying in bed sick.

Mandy tells Billy to clean up all the slime while she looks in one of Grim's books to find out what he's sick with; Billy cleans up the slime by sucking it up in his vacuum cleaner. After reading one of Grim's books, Mandy finds out that Grim's sick with "Encroaching Doom Syndrome." Mandy says the book explains that they've got one of two options: either go to the Underworld Hospital or have
Grim stay home and simply hope he gets so sick better. Grim doesn't want to see a doctor, but he, Mandy and Billy end up going to the Underworld Hospital anyway.

While in the waiting room at the Underworld Hospital, Mandy begins to think that Grim's sickness might not be that bad, as she feels a lot of the other patients look way worse than
he does. However, when the other patients realize that Grim has Encroaching Doom Syndrome, they all run away, proving her wrong. The doctors whisk Grim away to the operating room, but they aren't able to help him, and Grim, much to everyone's shock, becomes alive.
a human (Billy even faints from this).

Once they get back to Billy's house, Billy and Mandy point out to Grim that he's naked, and Billy lends Grim some of his clothes (which are too small on Grim). The three go to the Endsville Mall, where Grim starts complaining about his human form (Mandy ends up calling his human form "France"). However, he starts to like his human form when he sees that the women in Endsville find him attractive. But this quickly wears off when it incurs the wrath of jealous boyfriends and husbands, and leads to them beating up Grim.

At the end of the episode, Grim's complaining about how much he hates being a human, when he gets eaten by the slime monster Billy vacuumed up at the beginning of the episode (Billy calls the monster "Slimey"). After Slimey spits Grim out, Grim's back to his normal skeleton form. Billy tries it too, but it doesn't work on him.

At Billy's residence, Billy plays his video game, Pat the Baker, but is interrupted by Mandy, who explains that Pat the Baker is idiotic. She shatters the game and inputs a new game, President Evil staring Hoss Delgado(mocking the Resident Evil series). Mandy then zones off into the video game and becomes addicted as Billy watches, who is unimpressed. Billy states that the game is for girls and Mandy grows exasperated and insist that Billy goes to make brownies like Pat the Baker. Billy makes a dreadfully revolting mess in the kitchen and mimics Pats every move he has seen in the video game. After tasting a tad of chocolate, Billy realizes that he needs more salt and that he is out of it.

After tasting a tad of chocolate, Billy realizes that he needs more salt and that he is out of it.

Billy wanders into Grim's old trunk in search for salt but instead finds his Evil Powder, and uses that as a substitute. Billy puts the brownies in the oven and the repulsive aroma gets the attention of Mandy and Grim. As Mandy prepares to throw out the brownies, Grim snatches the tray of brownies and discreetly heads outside to eat them but is caught by Mandy. Grim dumps the tray into the garbage and slips some of the brownies inside of his head, literally. However, the aroma creeps its way to the Endsville Cemetery and resurrects the deceased. The Zombies then find their way to Billy's residence to undercover the smell. The three look outside the house and see an assembly of Zeds ransacking the outside of the house. They send Billy out to rid of them, stating that he has no brain.
