Peanut Cop and Producer Man show up, and Producer Man offers Fitz a record deal -- until his head is mysteriously sliced in half. Meanwhile, Liquor reads a letter erroneously delivered to him written by someone named "Mosquitor." A large amount of blood drips from the letter. Fitz delivers the record he made to Shark. Its title is "F-Off." Back at home, Fitz finds a severed hand that Shark apparently left under his bed. Shark says it's also a record and tells him to "Spin it."
"Rememorized" November 13, 2005 105 5

Skillet discovers an invitation to a fancy party Shark is holding, and Fitz decides to crash it. Shark and Rectangular Businessman get fed up with the Eye and decide to punish him. Rectangular Businessman makes Pronto enter Fitz's house to free the Hand from his icebox. The Hand subsequently cuts off the Eye's leg with a pair of shears.

Roostre, Joe and Peanut Cop break out of the jetcar and crash Shark's party. Fitz is trapped in a series of illusions or artificial realities created by Shark, including one in which he is attacked by a bow tie robot. In another sequence, Fitz ponders the nature of memory and time travel, and sees a baby mouse morph into Spider. Back at his store, Liquor lures Roostre into the cellar, where he clubs him and traps him in Spider's web. Liquor cryptically warns that Roostre will "set the alarm."

"Booger Haze" October 9, 2006 203 10
The Eye's surgery is a success, and his leg is repaired. Roostre, now cocooned, gets dragged to a cave by Spider. Peanut Cop and Golden Joe, still at Liquor's shop, attempt to fight off the Hand in vain until Liquor traps it in a jar. Spider plays "Booger Haze" on a piano, creating The Music, a swarm of musical notes. The Music flies to Roostre's farm and destroys one of the large corndogs. Shark and Rectangular Businessman, still in Shark's customized car, pick up the annoying Green-Sweatered Woman, which leads to Rectangular Businessman telepathically ripping her in half.

"Star Wars VII" October 16, 2006 204 11

Shark's car breaks down, and Rectangular Businessman decides to buy a gold-and-diamond-encrusted harmonica. Rectangular Businessman looks at harmonicas in a harmonica store for a long time. Shark tries to start his car for a very long time. Rectangular Businessman does not buy a harmonica; Shark's car does not start.

While in space, Fitz and Skillet look down toward their planet discover a "real city" some distance from the one they live in.

Shark continues to be frustrated by his car. Fitz and Skillet repair the Green-Sweatered Woman and turn her into a Terminator-style robot. Later, Fitz inserts the clock radio from Roostre's basement into a hole in the wall and discovers a massive hidden closet that contains every piece of clothing he's ever owned. At his store, Liquor performs a stand-up comedy routine for the Eyes. He then goes into a back room and talks to the Shadowy Figure, which seems to be a cardboard cutout with a light behind it. Meanwhile, one of the Eyes grows an arm and pulls out a gun.

After being attacked by Pronto, the Hand crawls into Producer Man's brain and controls his body from the inside. Shark and Rectangular Businessman load up a big gun and drive to the gas station that Fitz and Skillet previously set on fire. Rectangular Businessman mentions to Shark that the townspeople have lost their "program" and are going "out of their minds." Shark shoots one of them. Fitz, Skillet and Liquor use intravenous injections of meat to get to sleep, and Liquor is haunted by a strange dream, in which he's standing in a graveyard. Man/Woman is admiring a flower on a strange empty plain when Shark's face appears in the moon and speaks to her, then a snake slithers toward her and breathes fire into the air. Golden Joe shows Peanut Cop an unusual photo of the two Eyes, in which one of them appears to have grown a strange purple limb in place of a leg. Peanut Cop tells him that "the code is replicating itself in a bad way", and that "it's almost over." Liquor awakes, and Producer Man takes the elevator up to the 750th floor of the tower where Fitz, Skillet, Liquor, the Green-Sweatered Woman, and Shark's burning bug await him.
"Corndog Chronicles" November 20, 2006 209 16
Fitz has dreams about talking to Shark regarding other dreams in his office. He describes the dreams to Shark as being "about the end, with fragments of the beginning." Shark tells Fitz that they're "running out of time" and offers him a bottle of "Asprind" pills from Asprindland. Fitz wakes up, but Liquor promptly knocks him unconscious again. Fitz then dreams about talking to Roostre at his corndog farm. The two of them discuss Q109, "xenomorphinetation", a report chart, robots they built, and synthetic carbopolymers that "got them through." Fitz awakens and climbs the giant clothes closet to find a gold locket which resembles the Animal Chain that Pronto stole. Meanwhile, Pronto goes to a graveyard, where he gives the Animal Chain to an eight-armed beast named Amalockh. Amalockh grows enormous and begins destroying the city. Liquor tells Fitz the beast's name and that he's there to kill them all. Fitz resolves to "kill him back."
"Eighteen" November 27, 2006 210 17
After traveling up the elevator to the 750th floor of the tower, Producer Man reaches Fitz, Skillet, and Liquor. Liquor x-rays his head to discover that the Hand is inside, translates the beeping sounds he is making, and claims that the Hand "wants to get back to his arm and kill the person that separated him." Liquor tells Fitz that the key he found is "the key to imagination" which they'll need the next day. Meanwhile, Shark kidnaps Golden Joe and the New Guy, stitches Golden Joe's mouth shut and brings them to his video monitoring room, where the Eye is shackled to a pipe. Rectangular Businessman delivers "Shark's Great Movie" to Fitz, in which Shark tells him, "You're just information. That's what we keep inside our heads." Fitz places a bone on Liquor's head, giving an easy target for the Cyber-Green-Sweatered-Woman if he doesn't comply, and makes him lead the way through the burning city. Shark explodes much of the city, including Fitz's jet car, the liquor store, Rhoda's bar, the Eye's island, and New Guy's home, after which he devours the New Guy. In the graveyard, Amalockh eats Pronto and begins performing the "breakdance of death." Shark watches this on his video monitor, and furiously demands that Rectangular Businessman bring him every "hovervac" and "tie-bot." Liquor leads Fitz to the sewer system that Roostre previously entered, while hundreds of hovervacs and tie-bots awaken elsewhere. The Shadowy Figure drives his shadowy van up to Peanut Cop who is standing on a street, setting things on fire. Peanut Cop asks for help, and the Shadowy Figure shoots him with an extra-strength dart.
  • During the credits, an anagram appears that reads "noso/ledlik/tegs/khsar." When unscrambled, it reads "Soon/Killed/Gets/Shark," or "Shark gets killed soon."
"Pre-reckoning" December 4, 2006 211 18
Fitz, Skillet, Liquor, Cyber-Green-Sweatered-Woman and Producer Man descend the sewer system's ladder to reach Roostre, as Fitz worries about his friends in the burning city above. Liquor explains to him that they've probably all been eaten by now, stating that "it" reads "...and the shark shall eat every creature that is friends of the green one." As Liquor, Roostre, and Fitz are talking, Liquor states that the language is "giving out" and the three of them begin speaking in jumbled, nonsensical sentences. Peanut Cop flies out of the Shadowy Figure's van onto the street when it comes to a stop, and he too begins speaking in jumbled phrases. Shark soon reveals that gas is being pumped into the city which causes an inability to communicate. The Eye and Shark discuss the fact that time in the city is frozen at 2:22, and that the Eye was waiting for his dad to pick him up at school when it froze. The Clock tells Shark that it has run out of the gas. The hovervacs and tie-bots wreak havoc on the city, killing people and destroying vehicles, buildings, dolls and other property. Peanut Cop enters the Tempus Phuket Clock Shop while Amalockh spits out Pronto's burning remains and plucks a flower from the ground in the graveyard. Shark watches Amalockh on his video monitor, and states that "if that flower reaches the right person we're all dead, and that will be a great disappointment to me and all that has become me." Fitz, Skillet, and Cyber-Green-Sweatered Woman fight off the hovervacs and tie-bots until they reach the safety of the Clock Shop's back room. Inside, Peanut Cop hands Fitz a mask, which allows them to breathe "anti-anti-language gas" which Peanut Cop claims he made from propane. As the tie-bots attempt to break into the room, Peanut Cop throws a functional clock out the door, causing several tie-bots to explode. A hovervac quickly smashes the clock, and the tie-bots proceed to break down the door. However, Fitz, Skillet, Cyber-Green-Sweatered-Woman, and Peanut Cop have escaped through an air vent in the ceiling by the time they enter. Meanwhile, in the sewer system, Liquor karate chops off Roostre's hook and replaces it with The Hand so that he can activate Corn-Droid. Corn-Droid comes to life and unveils a plethora of guns which extend from a hole in its stomach.
  • This episode originally aired on the Adult Swim Fix with an unfinished mono audio mix, including missing sound effects and no reverb on Golden Joe's voice.
  • A secret message is at the end of the credits that reads:

14 32 21 37 28 54
30 19 45 29 20 45
31 54 18 21 19 16
54 28 35 19 28 32
54 45 21 14 39+49

The code is derived from a Qwerty keyboard, the letter Q being defined as 13 and all the other keys, including non-characters, numbered sequentially from there. Decoded, the message reads "Who's funding your slush now?"
"Farewell" December 11, 2006 212 19
Fitz, Skillet, Cyber-Green-Sweatered-Woman, and Peanut Cop travel through the ventilation shaft and shoot several tie-bots inside. Peanut Cop throws a grenade and blasts his fireman's helmet off. Fitz, Skillet, and Cyber-Green-Sweatered-Woman burst out the end of the ventilation shaft, which opens into Shark's observation room. Together, they de-shackle the Eye, destroy the evil Eye, shoot Shark into bloody pieces, and set Golden Joe free. After hearing some faint music emanating from Shark's remains, Fitz digs inside of them and pulls out the New Guy, who is bloodied and dead. Fitz pulls a lever on Shark's video monitoring console, which opens a room containing a metal-plated, shark-shaped aircraft. Rectangular Businessman makes his bank/home appear by simply speaking the word "appear." Inside, he converses with the Shadowy Figure, telling it that "the clock shop was sealed off when this began," "Shark was just a pawn," "the aspirind farms are near harvest," "Mouse has done everything exactly as predicted," and "Amalockh brings the darkness", among other things. Just after this, Rectangular Businessman transforms the Shadowy Figure into water, and traps him in a jar. He then puts his home into "ship mode" and flies away. Meanwhile, Corn-Droid flies throughout the city, destroying hovervacs with ease. In the sewer system, Liquor discovers Roostre's eyeless, unconscious body, and Muff, who is a floating orb, which glows blue. Muff inquires where Fitz is, and tells Liquor that the aspirind fields must be destroyed. He says they'll meet at the river, but they'll need Fitz. Liquor decides to follow the Corn-Droid. As Fitz steers the shark-shaped aircraft, Peanut Cop reveals that the hovervacs harvest aspirind, that it's "what they're protecting" and that fields of it are everywhere. Below, several hovervacs blow open a street, uncovering massive amounts of aspirind, which they suck into their arms. In the air, Skillet mans the gun turret for the shark-shaped aircraft and fights off several tie-bots, before Fitz and the others are shot down by Rectangular Businessman in his own airship. Liquor watches as the shark-shaped aircraft crashes into a building before screeching to a halt on a city street. After exiting the burning wreckage, Fitz clutches Skillet's helmet and goggles, as he, Peanut Cop, and Golden Joe lament the loss of their friend, who is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Rectangular Businessman's ship is destroyed by the now gigantic Amalockh, sending the jar of water in which the Shadowy Figure is trapped flying out into the flames of the city.
