Summaries

Herbicidal Maniac

As General Skarr tends to his garden, he finds an unsightly weed. As Billy uses a lawnmower to destroy the weed, he destroys the garden, and mows down General Skarr, thus resulting in Skarr turning into a green-thumbed plant being. Upon realizing this, he begins to rebuild his garden. Now wanting to exact revenge, Skarr tries to kill Billy, but to no avail. So he throws a pool party for an award he won for his exceptional garden, an idea he thinks is the best way to trap Billy and get his revenge.

Chaos Theory

While shopping at Costmo, Mandy and Grim notice that the store is unusually organized. This is because Hoss Delgado is dating Eris, thus bringing order to her life. Without chaos, Hoss can no longer do what he does best, which is fighting off monsters. So, with the help of Billy, Mandy, Grim and Irwin, he tries to break up with her.

Earlier in the series, Mandy said without chaos there is no existence. In this episode everything that is chaos just goes back to normal.
