* As one of the last episodes, "Song of You" is kind of a bummer, from the [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption sheer futility]] of Amir's attempt to impress Jake with a song he wrote for him to his inarticulate attempt to express how crushed he is by this ("I just wanna do shit that makes me smile of you!"), which leads Jake to conclude that his intelligence is actually deteriorating, to the inevitable conclusion:

* "Date Night" (alternatively known as "Amir Faces the Harsh Reality of Dating"), an episode which pulls back from the show's usual format and gives us some insight into Amir's life outside the office. On a date which is clearly going badly, he offers the girl 500 dollars on the condition that she leave immediately and never see him again, meaning to test her commitment. She leaves without hesitation and he laments, "Nobody's ever not taken the cash." The rest of the video depicts him walking silently and miserably home, eating fast food in a lonely apartment [[StalkerShrine decorated with pictures of Jake]] and crying by himself. The last few seconds shift to the usual office setting with Amir sitting across from Jake, at the point where an episode would typically begin.
