'''Stair Wars'''

'''Original air date''': 7/23/2021

Patrick needs to go upstairs to get a golf club, and [=GrandPat=] has to use the downstairs bathroom. They run into each other on the stairs and refuse to move, getting the whole family and neighborhood involved.

!!Stair Wars contains examples of:
* AppealToFamilialWisdom: When Patrick and [=GrandPat=] are arguing over who gets to go up the stairs first.
-->'''Patrick''': I'm sorry, [=GrandPat=], but Dad always told me...\\
''[Patrick imagines Cecil in a thought bubble]''\\
'''Cecil''': Son, the best advice I could ever give you is: never back down from a stair-off.\\
'''[=GrandPat=]''': ''I told you that! That's my advice!''
* CameraAbuse: At the end of the episode, Patrick knocks a golf ball into the screen and makes it shatter.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: This is the only episode of the series where Squidina actually has stage fright.
* ContinuityNod: Like in "Late for Breakfast", Patrick [[ForgettableCharacter briefly forgets who GrandPat is]].
* EyeScream: Dr. Plankenstein gets a piece of popcorn lodged in his eye.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Everyone fighting in the Stair Wars uses bread and butter as swords.
* PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle: The title is a reference to ''Franchise/StarWars''.
* SuddenlyShouting: Squidina standing up against [=GrandPat=].
-->'''Squidina''': [=GrandPat=], Patrick needs that club, which means the show needs that club, which means ''we're getting that club!''
* VoodooShark: PlayedForLaughs. Patrick finds his golf club because it was stuck between his teeth, but exactly how and ''why'' that could happen is never explained.

'''Enemies à la Mode'''

'''Original air date''': 7/23/2021

Patrick won't put on the show because he's too busy chasing the local ice cream guy. Squidina is left to do the show herself, interviewing her family about their enemies.

!!Enemies à la Mode contains examples of:
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [=GrandPat=]'s story about ice cream prohibition is a clear allegory of alcohol prohibition.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Throughout the episode, Squidina acts a lot more [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] and annoyed by her family's quirks than she would be later.
* GaveUpTooSoon: Patrick wants ice cream, so [=GrandPat=] tells him a story about the days of ice cream prohibition and how he got them in secret from other people. This gives Patrick another idea to get ice cream, by having Squidina order it for him, but right after he leaves, [=GrandPat=] reveals he ''did'' have ice cream he was willing to give to Patrick.
* LostAesop: Squidina tries to conclude the episode, but can't really describe what the viewer should take away from it.
-->'''Squidina:''' Oh! Uh... that's our show! I hope you learned a lot about enemies. Or ice cream. Or [[ItMakesSenseInContext toaster repair]]? See you next time!
* NoodleIncident: According to the pre-recorded segment, Patrick once got his tongue stuck in a mousetrap.
