'''"Mandy the Merciless"'''

'''Original Air Date:''' June 27, 2003

On one boring summer day, Billy, Mandy, Grim, and Irwin decide to look into the future for fun. In the future, Mandy rules the earth as an immortal half-breed, half-worm demon, half-human dictator. Grim is still her best friend, and her idiotic Billy clones keep her company. Mandy's source of power is cinnamon, and lies to Billy about cinnamon's only weakness. Grim leads Billy into the team of rebellions against Mandy, and Billy tells them the fake weakness, leading them out and getting arrested by Mandy. Though it may seem impossible for her to have known that they were coming, it turns out that she knew from looking at the crystal ball in the present.

'''"Creating Chaos"'''

'''Original Air Date:''' June 27, 2003

When Billy, Mandy, and Grim go fishing, Eris, the goddess of chaos, gets Billy to help her use the Apple of Discord to create chaos (after her father grounded her). Instead of using the apple, Billy becomes distracted with his own idiotic errands, leading Eris to go insane. In the end, Billy finally decides to start creating chaos, but Eris is already too altered that she runs away.

!!"Creating Chaos" contains examples of…

-->'''Mandy:''' Right on schedule.
* AGoodOldFashionedPaintWatching: This is among the several inane things Billy insists that he has to do before he can use the Apple of Discord for Eris.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: Eris plans to use Billy as a tool in driving the world insane. He promptly drives ''her'' insane by taking forever to get ready, doing such things as dripping honey on toast and [[AGoodOldFashionedPaintWatching watching paint dry]]. By the time he's actually ready, Eris has already cracked and runs away.
