3	'''Garage Tales'''
4
5	While browsing through the garage, Cricket and Tilly find a chest of Gramma's old belongings and she shares stories of her past, and the stranger she meets might have a connection with them.
6
7	!! "Garage Tales" contains examples of:
8	* BottleEpisode: Most of the present day scenes take place inside the garage, with one scene in Gramma's room in the end.
9	* {{Chupacabra}}: Alice's second story was about her hunting down the Chupacabra in Mexico.
10	* FlatEarthAtheist: Cricket reveals he believes the Earth is flat.
11	* FramingDevice: The story is framed by Gramma telling her adventures to Cricket and Tilly.
12	* HehHehYouSaidX: Cricket giggles as Gramma talks about {{Booby Trap}}s.
13	* NeverSayDie: It is all but stated that Ernest died some time before the series began.
14	* OnceMoreWithClarity: Bill retells Gramma's stories as they really happened; Alice raiding a pyramid was actually her stealing Ernest's truck while he tries to fix her car, her hunting the Chupacabra was Ernest helping her keep out of the rain, and her saving Ernest from an exploding blimp was him proposing.
15	* TheReveal:
16	** The guy tagging along with Alice in her stories turns out to be her future husband Ernest.
17	** We learn more about Bill’s dad and what happened to him.
18	* ShoutOut: Alice's "adventures" can pretty much be found in a ''Franchise/DuckTales'' cartoon.
19	** In Alice's first story, Ernest is dressed like ''Franchise/IndianaJones''.
20	* TookTheWifesName: When Ernest proposes to Alice in the garage, she accepts under the condition he takes her last name, revealing Alice held the Green family name.

24	'''Animal Farm'''
25
26	While the Greens are away, Phoenix competes against the mean rooster Cogburn to see who's the best leader of the farm, while Bill encounters a man who has the same name and appearance as him.
27
28	!! "Animal Farm" contains examples of:
29	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Bill is upset that there is another farmer named Bill Green who is younger, handsomer and more successful than he is. He goes to confront him, but the second Bill then tells him that he admires him because he has a family that loves him and a job that fulfills him.
30	* AnimalTalk: When the point of view switches from the Greens to the animals, they speak perfect English while the humans only go BlahBlahBlah.
31	* CallBack: Cogburn is obsessed with pie, as shown in "Harvest Dinner".
32	* CirclingMonologue: Phoenix and Cogburn have one just before their CurbStompBattle.
33	* ContinuityNod: This isn't the first time the farm animals broke into the house.
34	* CurbStompBattle: Cogburn manages to defeat Phoenix easily and claim the title as ruler of the animals.
35	* ADayInTheLimelight: The main plot focuses on Phoenix and the other animals.
36	* GivenNameReveal: Remember the mean rooster from "Harvest Dinner"? He returns here, and his name is revealed to be Cogburn.
37	* IdenticalStranger: The other Bill Green. Downplayed, as while he wears the same clothes and is also a farmer, his body type is trim rather than overweight and is more realistic.
38	* ItsAllAboutMe: Cogburn manipulates the other farm animals into rebelling against Phoenix to get inside the house for the sake of forcing them to bake as many pies as he wants.
39	* OneSteveLimit: The b-plot has Bill meet another man with the exact same name as him, first ''and'' last.
40	* ReallyWasBornYesterday: When one of the chicks remarks that it doesn't remember the last time the Greens left for the market, Phoenix reminds it that it only hatched the previous day.
41	* ShoutOut:
42	** The title is the same as George Orwell's classic, ''Literature/AnimalFarm''.
43	** Rooster Cogburn shares his name with the protagonist of the book and film ''Film/TrueGrit''.
44	* VocalDissonance: Marjorie the female sheep has a rather deep male voice for her gender.
45	* WholePlotReference: To the book it shares names with.
