"Hoss Delgado: Spectral Exterminator"

Original Air Date: August 9, 2002

Billy, Mandy, and Grim go to the museum on a school trip. There, they meet Hoss Delgado, self-appointed hunter of the paranormal, who upon spotting Grim, tries to eliminate him. Subsequently, Grim and Hoss engage in a fight. Finally, Delgado quits hunting Grim when he realizes Billy and Mandy control him. In the end, Delgado continues his adventures and is seen fighting a werewolf.

"Hoss Delgado: Spectral Exterminator" contains examples of…

  • Chainsaw Good: One of the weapons Hoss uses is a crossbow that shoots chainsaws.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Hoss's first scene has him bragging about his own heroics to a hotdog vendor, trying to justify himself getting a free hotdog. This shows that while Hoss is a competent bounty hunter, his penance for melodrama is what really sells his character.

"To Eris Human"

Original Air Date: August 9, 2002

While Billy "grocery shops" for socks at the Endsville Mall, Grim spots Eris, the Goddess of Discord and Chaos. Grim has a crush on her, but Eris doesn't like him and would rather go out with a guy named Adonis.

Mandy and Eris play various pranks on people, until Eris plays a prank on Mandy (claiming "Everyone's a target"). Naturally, this makes Mandy mad and she wants to get back at Eris.

Later, after Billy's done "grocery shopping," he teases Grim about his crush on Eris, which gives Mandy an idea: she goes up to Eris and tells her that Adonis wants to meet her at the mall's movie theater. Eris goes to the theater, which is dark inside, and she sees a silhoulette that she assumes is Adonis. She goes up to him and kisses him on the cheek. But after Mandy turns the lights in the theater on, it turns that the guy Eris is kissing is actually Grim, which, naturally, she's horrified/humiliated by.

Mandy's glad to have gotten back at Eris, and Grim's happy that Eris finally kissed him. Billy had watched the exchange, and he complains that "kissing is gross", but then he offers Mandy and Grim a "hot buttered sweat sock".

"To Eris Human" contains examples of…

  • "Eureka!" Moment: When Billy playfully makes fun of Grim's crush on Eris, it gives Mandy an idea on how to get back at Eris for how she treated her and Grim.
  • Exact Words: When showing Mandy how to use the Golden Apple, Eris tells her that the first (and only) rule is, "Everybody is a target". She reiterates it when she ultimately pranks Mandy.
  • Ironic Echo: When Eris pranks Mandy, she says, "First rule, baby; Everybody is a target!" Then, after Mandy tricks her into kissing Grim...
    Mandy: Like, first rule, Eris.
  • Kissed Keepsake: Grim after Mandy tricks Eris into kissing him.
    Grim: I've never washed this cheekbone, now I never will…
  • Kissing In A Tree: Billy sings this after hearing about Grim's crush on Eris. It ultimately gives Mandy an idea.
  • Pet the Dog: One of the few times Mandy actually does something nice for Grim. She could've easily found another way to get back at Eris, but she ultimately decided to humiliate Eris in a way that not only appeased her need for payback, but also made Grim happy.
  • Wingding Eyes: Eris' eyes turn into hearts whenever she's swooning over Adonis.
