Ep 1
Ed My Ride
- "The Eds fix the old van at the junkyard, but after Edd ends up doing all the work, disagreement occurs over who should be the owner."
The Eds are at the junkyard, looking for the old van that functioned as their hideout back when they were children. There's more trash lying around than 5 years ago, and they figure it's buried somewhere. Edd thinks to recognize its shape in one of the trash heaps and Ed starts digging like a dog, causing unspeakable filth to continuously shower over Edd, who can't get away in time.
While Edd is having an episode in the background, Ed frees the van, pleasing the lazy Eddy sitting on a broken, discarded lawn chair. He jumps up and instructs Ed to bring his future ride back to his house. Ed effortlessly carries the vehicle above his head, while dragging the manic Edd along over the ground.
In Eddy's garage, a cured, cleaned-up Edd is hard at work getting the van to run, while Ed and Eddy are tasked to do the painting. Ed is more concerned with drawing creepy made-up characters than proper restoration, and Eddy with reprimanding him for it. After mere minutes, they get tired of working and leave to get a drink, though end up forgetting to come back and leave to Ed's house to watch television. Edd eventually notices he's by himself and the van has been vandalized with terrible artwork. He decides to help his friends by picking up a paint can, but the hours keep passing and no one's taking over from him.
When it's almost midnight, Ed and Eddy finally return. Eddy is excited to see the state of the van and hurries inside to give it a test drive. Edd, covered in sooth and paint shows up from under it and asks where they were all this time. Ed is honest to say they were watching a lovely romantic comedy series. Eddy sweats upon Ed running his mouth, but tries to safe himself by saying there was blood in it.
Edd doesn't care for it and complains they left him to do all the work, but Eddy already stopped listening and wants to drive off. Edd swiftly pulls at something from under the hood, causing the engine to instantly fall silent. Ed remarks that's a serious design flaw.
Edd and Eddy start arguing with each other. Edd thinks the van belongs to him, since neither of them helped restore it, but Eddy retorts he doesn't even have a driver's license and it's his garage and tools he's been using. Ed is more upset about the disappearance of the drawings he made with permanent marker -apparently not as permanent as the label claimed- but argues he's the one who dug out and carried the van here, so is also its owner.
Edd says it not to matter he can't drive, as he'll take the van out of principle. Eddy calls him petty and a lousy friend.
Edd's eyes widen. He grabs a large screwdriver from his pocket, jabs it into one of the wheels with a loud pop, then walks off. Eddy is surprised by the outburst and the strength he has in those toothpick arms, but the coy expression on his face is short-lived. Before Edd can walk very far, Ed and Eddy follow behind to explain it's not that deep and they merely forgot about the time. And thought the work was boring.
As this excuse doesn't change the facts, Edd asks what they can do now that the van has already been taken care of. Eddy doesn't know how to make things right, until Ed reiterates Edd doesn't have a driver's license; so he and Eddy should offer to be his personal chauffeur whenever he needs one. It sounds like an easy solution, so Eddy agrees and adds gas money will be on them.
Edd calls it mighty generous with today's prices and accepts the offer. The Eds shake on it, though a nervous Eddy can't resist to ask what the current gas prices are.
Ep 2
Just Your Friendly Neighbourhood Ed
- "Eddy suggests starting a lost-and-found at the lake and tries to maintain business by stealing the others' possessions while they're out swimming, just to sell it back to them."
It's an especially hot day and everyone is cooling off at the lake. Eventually, the Kankers also show up and make sure to make everyone they pass uncomfortable in some manner, whether it's blowing facetious kisses or kicking sand over their snacks.
May then spots the perfect, pimply back of her "boyfriend", sitting in the distance, and runs over with footsteps as loud as a stampede of cattle. Ed screeches and they engage in a tussle. May releases some curious remarks all related to dancing, making Ed nervous, who decides to run away and continue the brawl elsewhere.
Lee and Marie greet their love interests as well, with Edd unwilling to even glance at Marie towering over him in her swimwear, while Eddy just swipes at Lee's hairy legs, causing her to ungraciously face-plant in the sand. She gets back up, wholly unconcerned, and compliments his excellent muscles, necessary for keeping their garden free from weeds when they're living together. Eddy huffs he's going to hire a gardener for that, ignoring her delusional assumption they'll marry, and Lee accepts his alternative.
Eager to do what they came for, though, she promises to be back and intercepts Marie's attempts of seducing a red-faced boy who refuses to turn his head, dragging her along.
Eddy mutters unflatteries and watches on with disgust, until he notices something sparkly in the sand where Lee once lied. Edd concludes it's her earring, but doesn't even get to finish his sentence and Eddy spots more forgotten treasures lying around. Edd says not to recognize most of these items and laments it'll be hard to find their owner. Eddy grins they don't have to and their owners should come to them.
Back at some nondescript location where Ed is still running from May, Eddy's hand swiftly drags him back to where the story is and he announces his plan of starting a lost-and-found at the lake. Edd finds it a commendable idea, until Eddy clarifies he's going to ask money for it, wiping clear Edd's expression of appreciation.
Ed is against the idea; telling him they came here to swim and relax. Eddy understands his friends need some motivation and flaunts with the promise of jawbreakers, whereafter Ed remarks the last time they've had one must've been 4 years ago and he's given up on them. Eddy isn't sure what to say to such an uncharacteristically defeatist response. Edd understands Eddy has an itch that needs to be scratched and urges Ed to give it a try -adding they might find something interesting they can keep for themselves. This seems to do the trick and Ed joyfully announces he hopes to find a dead body.
The Eds start examining the area. Spectators think they've lost something and ask them as much, but are returned curt answers that don't clarify the reason for their behaviour. Kevin expresses to be suspicious, but Nazz asks him to stop assuming the worst. Then, Eddy shows up with a small party tent and folding table, and Ed throws a pile of sand-covered junk on it. A piece of paper saying "Loss n Foned" is taped to the tent. Nobody understands what the note says, until Rolf flawlessly reads the misspelled mess for them and they understand it's a lost-and-found kiosk. Nazz smiles that to be pretty cool and already sees something lying on the table she lost years ago. Kevin warns her there's going to be a catch, but she gets up anyway.
While Eddy tries to rearrange and dust off Ed's haul, Edd shows up with his findings. He looks empty-handed, so Eddy asks where it is. Edd clarifies to have only found a ring, and Eddy makes fun of him over it, until it's handed over and he sees the enormous diamond sitting on it. He mutters it's probably a candy ring and pockets it.
While Edd climbs on the table to cross out and correct the sign, Ed and Eddy hurriedly position themselves as they see Nazz approach them. She points at a tiny pair of cute slippers, stating they're hers. Ed looks at her feet, then whispers to Eddy not to assist her, as she's a fraud. Nazz giggles she lost them when she was little and remembers being very distraught that day.
Edd feels for her and wishes for Eddy to hand them over, but he is a stone-cold businessman and tells Nazz it'll cost her. Kevin shows up to defend her and barks it's her possession, to which Eddy argues it's his staff that retrieved it and they should be compensated for the effort. Kevin is ready to argue some more, but Nazz is convinced and agrees to pay up.
Kevin urges her not to humor them, but the "sale" has already ended and Nazz looks happy regardless. They walk back to their spot, but not without Kevin disapprovingly shaking his head at the Eds.
Soon, others show up to check out their lost-and-found. Their pile keeps shrinking, pleasing Ed and Edd, though Eddy treats it as merchandise running out. Edd smiles they've done great and still have time to go for a swim, but Eddy can't let go of his success and wants to make more money. Ed states the obvious and says there's no more stuff to return, turning Eddy's face devious.
He suggests they make use of the fact everyone's out swimming right now and raid some homes. Edd yelps upon hearing him entertain a literal crime and tries speaking to his moral decency, especially towards those who opened up their hearts to them. Eddy falls silent, then suggests targeting Kevin's house only, but Edd wants none of it.
Eddy changes up the scheme and says he'll let Ed check the streets, though as he turns to Ed, whispers that includes any backyards and rooms of which the windows are left open. The simple Ed sees the logic in that and speeds off.
After a short while, he returns with a new haul. Most items are undoubtedly indoorsey and Edd questions him where he found these, to which Ed assures he's not gone off-limits. While Edd knows better, Ed's assured face manages to insert some doubt, though the more likely truth is that Edd can't pretend to care anymore and has accepted his defeat.
The others are surprised to see belongings they didn't lose sitting at the lost-and-found, but they too are manipulated by Ed and Eddy into believing otherwise. The pile shrinks down again, and predictably, Ed is sent off for a round 3. This keeps happening, until the others become rightfully suspicious. They figure on sending off the most unnoticeable person in their midsts to the cul-de-sac; and Jonny takes no offense to the remark and agrees to play their spy. It doesn't take long until he spots Ed.
With their suspicions confirmed, everyone assembles at the lost-and-found and demands their money back. Eddy tries to use the old "we worked to get this and need to get paid"-excuse, turning the crowd more unruly. They throw Ed and Eddy into the lake, though Eddy appears too heavy for them and plops down right next to the water, whereafter they turn to Edd. He sheepishly grins to have told his friends "no", hoping to escape retaliation, but no such luck. They too throw him towards the lake, but he's surprisingly light and disappears into the horizon with a scream. They look on in shock and Nazz asks if he'll be back, to which Rolf makes some kind of praying gesture and gives his apologies to the Ed now lost.
Eddy lifts up his head and watches his tent getting raided by angry customers. Ed contentedly drifts on the water and calls it business as usual, until he is dragged under by a familiar set of hands with pink nail polish. Eddy nervously looks around to check if Lee is around as well, who he suddenly finds sitting on his back, wearing the diamond ring he had in his pocket. He demands to have it back, but she wants a kiss in exchange, instantly depleting Eddy's desire for the ring.
Marie then shows up with an overstuffed ice cream cone, and upon seeing Ed and Eddy, hopes her boy toy is around as well and calls for him, but Lee declares him "no more" and says she should get a new boyfriend. Marie drops her ice cream and the scene ends with Ed and May wrestling each other in the lake, Eddy still lying on his stomach with Lee using him as a chair, and Marie on her knees, staring at the ground in grief. Eddy grumbles this sucks.
Ep ?
We Don't Need No Ed-ucation
- "After Rolf's nana caught him studying hard for his upcoming English test instead of working on the farm, his family makes sure it'll never happen again."
A school locker opens, the light revealing many high graded tests and reports sitting inside, an odd phenomenon considering it's Ed's locker. All three Eds then assemble and wish to head on home, but spot Rolf at the end of a hallway, in conversation with someone standing just around the corner. He looks distraught and Edd contemplates asking what's the matter, but Eddy thinks it'd be weird to stick your nose in what looks to be a serious private matter. Edd commends him for his empathy and agrees there's a time and place for it. They turn around.
The next day, Rolf isn't at school. The Eds wonder if he's sick or it relates to yesterday, but decide once again it's not their business.
The day after, they see Rolf at home as they're heading for school, but he's not properly dressed. They walk over to ask what he's doing and he needs to hurry up, but he's not in the mood to talk and tells them to leave him be. It's a surprisingly rude response. Ed and Eddy turn around, but Edd thinks something might truly be wrong. Eddy mutters that much clear, which is why they should mind their business. Nevertheless, Ed has started peeking behind the house and tells them Rolf is doing his usual chores. Edd and Eddy agree that's a strange thing to give priority to and decide to see him anyway.
Rolf is going back and forth, carrying heavy items and tending to the animals and crops, and occasionally picking up a paint brush to tend to the house as well. Edd remarks his family is way too cruel, prompting Eddy to joke that's what people always think of his parents. Edd insists he has great caretakers.
When they divert their attention back to Rolf again, they see Ed is already there, holding Wilfred and petting it like a cat. Ed asks if he overslept, but Rolf only offers one word-answers to every question asked. Edd and Eddy come walking and Edd asks the reason for his absence and hurried demeanour, his overly complicated use of language angering Rolf. He snaps he's being curt, since he can't understand them.
The frustrated Rolf then turns around and gets back to word. Eddy is confused by the admission, not remembering ever having a conversation with Rolf where it didn't seem like they didn't understand each other. For the most part. Edd too finds it unlikely he's been faking it for all these years.
They walk back to him to ask what he means, but the petty Rolf now claims not to have the words to explain. Edd holds his shovel and urges him to tell them, since they are friends. Rolf looks at him and the other two Eds, then smirks to be surprised they're still holding up the "we're all friends now"-act. Eddy grumbles it's Kevin who ruined everything, but Rolf is still good in their book. Ed smiles he's always been in his book.
Rolf looks surprised by their offer of kindness and thinks to himself. He parks his shovel in the dirt and apologizes for his hostility, then explains it's become harder for him to understand his surroundings, which no longer consists out of little kids with simple vocabulary and simple problems. Ed says to relate. He continues he's recently tried to pay more attention at school, but upset his grandmother by studying. Edd finds that a strange reason to get upset over and asks if his family doesn't want him to succeed, to which Rolf clarifies that success in his family doesn't relate to the brain, but everything that will help maintain a big farm. Edd brings up the fact his father values the typing classes he takes and asks was use that has, and after a short pause, Rolf answers it helps with the cracking of eggs and calls him brain-dead for asking.
Ed, now sitting in a puddle of mud and cuddling with more animals, asks if they should look after the farm like old times, but Eddy reminds him they have school too and Rolf groans to know better. Edd turns to Rolf and says this is not "the old country", and his family needs to understand an education is needed to excel. Eddy tries to ruin it by disagreeing, but is silenced with a flat hand on the face.
Rolf replies it doesn't matter what they think or what the truth is, as he has a duty to his family. Eddy calls that messed up, since being born doesn't mean you owe your parents -the ones who decided to make you without asking you. Ed frowns and says to have never felt that violated. Rolf sighs and says there's nothing he can do about it, regardless.
Edd moves over to him and asks what it is he wants to do in the future. Rolf looks around, then states working on the farm. Edd doesn't want to accept that answer and keeps pushing him, but Rolf doesn't understand what else he's supposed to say.
Eddy jumps in to ask if working a sweat every day is fun to him and if there isn't a better future to strive for, but Rolf thinks farm work is rewarding and there'll always be time for fun later.
The gist of Rolf's concerns doesn't relate to his chores, but solely his dissipating ability to converse with his friends. Eddy takes a bold move and asks if it wouldn't make things easier for him to go back to his home country. Both Ed and Edd look pretty on edge by the tone of his voice, but Rolf doesn't take it as an attack and mutters to have considered it many times throughout his life, but has come to love Peach Creek and its people. Including them and their shenanigans. The Eds look happy to hear it, though Eddy turns a bit bashful. Ed asks if he likes his shenanigans best.
Edd proclaims that helping him won't be difficult, and he'll just have to refrain from studying in his family's presence if they're that convinced getting an education will result in one leaving behind their ancestors' legacy. Eddy says it would've been better if they trusted him, but Edd doesn't think that's something they could or should help them with.
With that, Edd announces they'll assist him on his studies, whereafter Eddy corrects he'll be doing so on his own. Edd asks if they're not going to join him, after which Eddy reminds him he and Ed are awful at English. Edd says that might be so, but they are natural speakers and it'll only look more suspicious when Rolf starts talking and writing like him. Disappointed to have not gotten themselves out of it, Edd drags them along and Rolf follows. Edd asks Ed and Rolf if they shouldn't get cleaned up for school, but neither one respond.
The following days, the Eds do their best to teach Rolf within school hours. The sight grabs people's attention and even softens Kevin's expression, until it doesn't, and a frown forms on his face again.
One day after school, Nazz and Kevin ask how things are going, but Rolf's accent is still as palpable as ever. Nazz wishes him good luck, while Kevin complaints the Eds haven't made a single difference and he expected as much. Nazz tells him to quit it and these things need time. The three continue their walk back home.
A random school day later, Rolf is reading aloud from a textbook. It's a flawless, accentless read and the Eds give him a thumbs up for the job well done. He wonders if he should come clean to the others about his improved speech already, but Eddy suggests he keeps it a secret to them as well, especially since Kevin is a professional backstabber. Edd tells him to calm down, but also thinks it'd be best to lower the risk of anyone finding out or telling, unless he's assured it's fine.
Rolf thinks long and hard, then concludes it's too much fun throwing badly translated insults at Kevin to let him or anyone else know. Eddy pumps his fist in the air in agreement. Edd sighs not to condone lying, whereafter his next sentence is cut off by Ed stating "but it's funny".
They all shake on promising to keep it a secret.
Ep 4
Better Ed Than Sorry
- "The Eds win tickets for Dizzyland and decide this is the right time to test their van's power, but bad luck hits them on the way."
The Eds are collecting random newspapers and magazines for a school assignment they're not especially excited for, until Ed notices an ad offering a grand prize to whoever can suggest the best location to drill for oil. Edd finds it a strange, if not bold request, and guesses it's some kind of sarcastic joke from an environmental organization, but Eddy doesn't think ads are capable of being funny and treats it as real.
The 3rd prize offered is 100 dollars, the only detail Eddy has eyes for, who decides to not waste any time and contact them through phone. Edd reminds him he doesn't even know an area with oil to suggest, and Ed instructs him to tell them to check the grocery store.
Eddy hushes his noisy friends and starts giving up Edd's personal details. Edd panics upon hearing it, to which he explains he doesn't want to take the chance and receive spam mail for the next 20 years. Edd agrees with the sentiment, but Eddy tells him to stop pretending, as he loves reading.
The person on the line then seemingly asks for the answer, causing Eddy to fall silent. Edd folds his arms and looks on with skepticism, until Eddy settles with "Jimmy's garden" and hangs up.
Edd dubs his lacklustre performance nice, and Ed agrees with a more genuine tone. Eddy admits he was getting stage fright at the last minute, but nothing's been lost by giving it a shot.
A week later, though, Edd receives a letter through the mail. He takes it to Ed and Eddy, baffled to see they've claimed first prize somehow. Since it's not the money they wanted, instead some tickets to an overpriced theme park, they respond very disappointed. Edd figures this prize is better, since it's worth more than 100 dollars, but Ed remarks they're too old for Dizzyland. He's surprised to hear the childlike Ed say that, but doesn't disagree with the comment.
Eddy looks at the tickets with a pondering face, then concludes they should go, as this year might be their only chance to do stupid kiddy stuff until it becomes lame. Edd clarifies that though he shares Ed's opinion, many adults still like and visit Dizzyland, so it wouldn't be too much of a problem if they went some other time. Eddy insists it has to be now and tells them to inform their parents they're going on a trip. Ed asks if he can take Sarah, to which Eddy responds he can take her to the morgue.
Edd concludes they might end up surprising themselves and have fun.
Some undetermined amount of time later, they prepare themselves for the day and assemble at the nearest bus stop. The one picking them up isn't the bus, though, but Eddy in their fixed-up van.
Edd remarks it's a long trip and asks if he's ever driven that long, but with Ed also having a license, it's not considered a problem. Eddy argues the distance is just what they need to test out their van's power. Ed and Edd get on with careful eagerness to learn this for themselves. They exit the street -a large oil well seen standing in the distance, working on Jimmy's garden.
Their journey starts well, until a sudden, aggressive crack is heard coming from the front of the car and wakes everyone from their happy daze. They stop to check, but nothing seems to be wrong. Edd needs some encouragement to get back inside, but eventually, they continue the drive. The sound isn't heard again.
Soon after, Ed needs to go to the bathroom, but the many gas stations and highway stops that were being presented to them at the start of the trip are now scarce to none. Edd proposes stopping somewhere with bushes, but Ed proclaims he's not allowed to do that anymore after "the incident". Edd and Eddy look at each other, clueless by what is meant by that. Eddy tells him to just go, but Ed insists on it, forcing him to keep on driving.
After a few minutes of groaning, Ed suddenly announces he no longer has to go. Edd nervously looks at him and his seat, but sees nothing. He asks what he means by that, to which Ed says he just doesn't have to go anymore, it happens. No further context is given and no traces of an accident made is ever found.
Then, a tire runs flat. Eddy curses why a new tire has already reached its end, but Edd reminds him everything they used to restore the van with came from the junkyard. After replacing it, they get back in the car, but as Eddy places down his foot, another tire is heard giving up. All three let out a deep sigh and turn around again.
Back on the road, Ed is now driving, but he appears sleepy. Edd tells Eddy they might have to switch again, angering him, since he's been driving for the majority of the trip. Ed apologizes car rides always make him doze off. Edd tells him it's alright, which the also tired Eddy audibly disagrees with.
It can't be helped and they stop again.
Eddy is officially in a bad mood, not helped by the fact they seemingly missed a turn and can't find the signs they're looking for. Edd is holding a map and criticizes every turn he makes, apparently every one of them wrong. After minutes of this, Eddy loses his cool and gets up from the driver's seat as the van's still moving, telling Edd to take the wheel if he knows so well. Edd is frozen in disbelief as Eddy disappears behind the curtain to join Ed for a nap.
The shot changes to the van, driving off a cliff. Up the cliff, though, stand the Eds, watching their beloved van crash down below. Edd apologizes for it, but Eddy is almost impressed by how things escalated the moment his fingers touched the wheel. Edd agrees they would've had a better chance ending up in Dizzyland if the van continued to drive itself.
A brief pause follows, whereafter the three start laughing and turn around, presumably walking their way to Dizzyland.
Ep?
Ed for Hire
- "Based on their interests, the Eds get assigned to work and learn at a special location, but things seem mixed up."
Everyone's in class, busy filling out a form that was given to them by their teacher. Steered by habit, Eddy tries to look over to Edd's desk, whereafter Edd remarks this is not a test and there's no point in trying to copy him. Eddy turns back to his form.
At the lockers, Edd asks his friends what they wrote down as their preferred internship location, and almost predictably, they respond with the jawbreaker factory. Edd says to have heard factory work can be quite stressful, but Eddy thinks the free jawbreakers will make it worth it, and one day should be doable, even if it were true. He doubts free jawbreakers are automatically part of the deal, but guesses he's right.
The other kids are discussing their options as well, with a good majority of them also saying the jawbreaker factory in unison. Kevin is assured his father will get him in, to which Rolf asks if the form wasn't supposed to match them to a job based on their personality, not their wants. Kevin smirks that to want is his personality. Nazz smiles and remarks just like Eddy. Kevin and Eddy, not even standing closeby, cringe at the same time. Ed asks what's wrong and Eddy assumes someone must've said something terrible about him just now.
With nothing more to say, everyone heads home with careful excitement for tomorrow.
Back in class, everyone seems content with their suggested internship, except for the Kankers, who wonder if them getting sent off to a boarding school is truly for internship purposes. The Eds too walk over to the list on the school board to see the results, but their faces indicate something's amiss. They look at each other and shrug.
Jonny walks over to look, seeing Ed earned himself a day at NASA, Edd a car dealership, and Eddy a waste management company.
Another day passes and the cul-de-sac waves each other off and leaves for their internship. Edd turns to Ed and Eddy to express if things might've been mixed up. Eddy replies that's obvious, but he's not going to an internship where they ask of him to think, and hurriedly gets in his van and speeds off. Edd yells at him to wait since he's his ride, and runs after the already vanished Eddy.
Ed gives them an "okey bye" and gets in his own truck. The vehicle shakes and rattles, but is an old reliable and manages to take him to his location. Eventually. Ed isn't particularly good at finding his way by himself and makes a bad first impression, but upon seeing the nifty glasses resting on his nose -a cool glint of light moving down the rim- the front desk staff member eagerly points into the right direction. Ed enters a room filled with people, their heads not visible, who turn around and put their hands in their sides as they see him standing, until they too notice the glasses, easing their displeasure for their late guest. They gesture him to sit down at an intimidating control panel, the many buttons pleasing Ed, proclaiming it reminds him of the movie, "There're No Vegetarians in Space 5".
Meanwhile, Eddy is being shown around his facility. He chuckles to himself it looks and smells like Ed's room and it's going to be a piece of cake. He's given special attire to wear, him kinda digging the look, and put to work.
Tasked with the recycling, Eddy has to collect whatever doesn't belong, but finds himself too enthralled with the trash and keeps seeing things he could sell or create new scams with. Someone blows a whistle at him, instructing him to get back to work, but Eddy keeps repeating his behaviour. Eddy then looks at his comically overstuffed pockets and sadly concludes he's become a hoarder.
Elsewhere, Edd is standing around on the parking lot of a car dealership, wearing a neat blouse and a colourful tie. It's not very busy, which is no surprise when looking at the beaten-up selection of vehicles being promoted. A man, his arms and hands decorated with rings and bracelets and chest hair visible from his partially open shirt, then passes by him to enter the shop. Edd can hear the Italian mafia music playing, but greets him anyway. A short moment later, he comes back out, his pockets filled with cash. Edd begins to sweat and doesn't say anything this time, waiting for him and his nerve-wracking musical theme to disappear.
A few minutes later, what looks to be gang members holding bats show up and enter the shop. Edd shakes uncontrollably as he waits for them to come back, which they do, their pockets also filled with cash. One of them turns around, though, and places his hand on the wall behind Edd, whereafter Edd hurriedly announces to be male. The man aborts. Edd daintily collapses onto the ground.
Back to Ed, he's sitting at the control panel with no one else around. He smiles contentedly, but also rightly assesses this is irresponsible and things will surely go terrible. He raises his finger and browses the panel for a button to press. After a brief contemplation, he hits the panel with a flat hand. Somewhere in space, a moon robot looks up and explodes, taking the planet it's on with it.
Eddy, now working outdoors, gets a piece of robot debris on his head and immediately pockets it, whereafter he grabs it again and drops it onto the ground, telling himself he needs to stop doing that. There's sweat on his forehead, proving it's physically hard work and no longer that fun. The trash he's dealing with now doesn't consist out of fun trinkets anymore, but putrid, gooey waste. He then sees an arm sticking out somewhere and Eddy quickly turns his head, not wanting to acknowledge it. But at the other side, a truck comes dumping more trash and another arm is poking out, wearing many rings and bracelets. Eddy looks unsure about what to do with his life, as more trucks show up to dump their contents -all batches showing at least one body part in them.
Skipping forward, everyone returns to the cul-de-sac and engages in conversation about their experiences. Most thought it was fun and express some interest in pursuing a similar career in the future. The Eds too show up, their faces a big indiscernible. Eddy then stiffly testifies that was cool, and Edd follows with the same empty verdict. Ed smiles he's now an enemy of the state.
Each one of them then turns around and heads to their respective home.

Teacher's Ed
- "Ed loses his glasses, making his life at school hard again, and Eddy finds a "cat" on his roof."
Edd and Eddy are at school, grabbing their necessities from their locker. After Kevin passed them by with a stare, Ed comes walking. Eddy doesn't pick up on his changed appearance and asks what took him so long, and Ed replies he was looking for his glasses. Eddy finally notices.
Edd smiles they can look for it later, but it doesn't calm Ed down, who fears punishment if he doesn't find them in time. Eddy reiterates it'll have to wait.
In the classroom, everyone is given back a test they made the day before. Expectedly, Eddy has done horribly, while Edd's "A+" is written in an extremely fancy font. He shows it to the annoyed Eddy with a proud grin.
Ed is also handed his test, but the off-screen teacher seemingly hesitates giving it to him. The paper is taken away, whereafter the "B" on it changed into an "F".
All day long, teachers seem less fond of him than they used to be, and his wrong answers are no longer seen as interesting. Edd and Eddy are unconcerned with it, though Edd is perceptive enough to see it's happening.
At the end of school, Ed speeds off to find his glasses before dinner time, leaving Edd and Eddy to walk back home without him. Edd wonders if Ed even noticed how differently school staff treats him without his glasses, which Eddy finds an implausible reason. Edd asks if he never noticed how Ed keeps getting good grades because of his appearance, to which Eddy scoffs he'd get a "Z" if teachers were going off on appearance.
Eddy then asks if he's got time to hang out and watch the upcoming episode of the Fishbowl series and Edd takes him up on the offer.
When they arrive at his house, Eddy spots a creature sitting on his roof. It has an unconcerned expression on its face and Eddy thinks it appropriate to shoo it off with a pebble.
Edd asks him to be kind, but Eddy doesn't want some stranger's cat making itself comfortable on his house, as its footstep will keep him up at night. Edd says it's not a cat and looks to be a ferret. Eddy thinks the thing has too much of an attitude not to be a cat and gets a ladder.
When finally in close proximity, he waves at it with his hand, but it won't move. Eddy climbs back down again and entertains looking for his father's gun. Edd is done watching Eddy trying to abuse an inoffensive animal and climbs the ladder himself, but upon reaching out to the ferret, it instantly becomes angry and sinks its fangs into his hand. Edd screeches and falls down with a thud, yet it doesn't incentivize the ferret to let go. Eddy concludes the cat is pretty cool.
He walks over to Edd, having fainted in his excitement, and picks up the suddenly docile ferret. Eddy figures on showing it off to Ed and leaves Edd behind to do so.
He finds Ed roaming around in his backyard and shows off his Munchkin. Ed compliments what he thinks is a sock, but is too busy looking for his glasses to be truly invested. Eddy shares he beat up Edd and he'll make for good security next time he tries to enter his room and alphabetize his cologne, but Ed isn't listening anymore.
He puts the ferret down and asks if it's that big of a deal. Ed gets more serious and replies his mother is looking for any excuse to get angry at him. Eddy understands it's bothering him and offers to help.
The loose ferret is doing its own thing and eventually disappears inside a hole in the wall. It can't go far, though, so pulls out the item blocking its way. Eddy just about notices his new pet about to run off and grabs it in time. Next to it, he then spots a pair of glasses.
He praises the ferret and gives Ed the good news. He's relieved, and upon seeing the hole, remembers to have put them in there himself. Eddy asks what for, to which he states for later use. It doesn't make sense, but Eddy didn't think it would.
Ed pets the ferret in gratitude and Eddy follows his lead. The ferret remains wholly unresponsive, urging Ed to ask if it's alive.
Eddy then asks if he wants to come over and watch Fishbowl, and they happily stroll of to his house. They head inside, ignoring Edd still lying on the lawn.

An Ed's Best Friend
- "Edd and the neighbourhood dog try to befriend each other after their unlucky encounter 5 years ago."
Edd and Eddy are waiting in front of Ed's house, who shows up to join them on their walk to school. When they pass one of the homes, a dog is heard growling and jumping against the garden gate from the other side. Eddy mutters the owners need to keep that thing indoors, but the others don't say anything.
The next day, it happens again, as for the next one, and the next one. They already know it's Edd the dog despises, who never misses an opportunity to let its presence known whenever it senses him near its territory.
Eddy remarks the little yapper is driving him insane, but Ed thinks it to make sense he distrusts Edd, since he trespassed once. Edd growls he was the one who trespassed, while he showed up to help him after getting stuck jumping the fence. Ed smiles it's alright and he forgives him. Eddy says the dog apparently doesn't and the day its owners forget to properly close that gate will be the day they'll have to tape missing posters to every street lantern. Ed asks if it's for the dog, Eddy clarifies it'll be for Edd.
Edd laments his bad relationship with animals in general and admits most can't seem to stand him. Ed reminds him of his ant friends, to which Eddy jokes creepy attracts creepy. Edd smirks that to be true; he's taken him as his friend, after all. Ed is confused by the word usage and asks if Eddy knew he was taken all this time.
Eddy says not to believe anyone can have some invisible trait that makes animals hate them, and Edd tends to agree, though can't deny he's been notoriously unsuccessful at winning their hearts, except for arthropods, explaining why he's so attached to them. Ed then unceremoniously announces it's likely his "crazy helium voice" that hurts animals' ears and why they hate him.
Edd and Eddy stare at him, with Edd's eyes hiding boiling rage, while Eddy is trying his best to keep his composure. Ed moves on and suggests he tries befriending the dog to test if his concerns are true. Edd replies it's true; and dogs would continuously hunt him down on the streets of his old home, unprovoked. Eddy argues that was then and now is now, and dogs are dubbed "man's best friend" for a reason, so unless he's a woman or alien creature, he should be able to befriend at least one dog.
Edd remains unsure, provoking Ed to promise him he'd still love him, even if he were a woman or an alien. Edd gives him a lacklustre thanks.
He then moves his eyes to the gate, where a tiny paw somehow managed to poke out from underneath and is clawing at the ground in frustration. Since it concerns a small dog and he's older now, he figures this might be the best time to try. Eddy places a heavy arm over his shoulder and praises him, teasingly reminding him "there's no such thing as curses", only high-pitched voices. Edd frowns. Ed places parks his arm as well, pushing the scrawny Edd even more down to the ground, and smiles he should talk like him. Edd asks if they can stop bringing up his voice already.
Some time later, Edd shows up at the fence, carrying a bouquet of flowers and a heart-shaped box. The dog responds predictably and its rage drowns out Edd's boring speech, even though it couldn't even understand it if it wanted to. Jonny happens to walk by and looks on with bewilderment for the image, then expresses his opinion to his friend on the phone, calling Edd a weirdo as he raises his other hand to his mouth, holding a literal interpretation of an ice cream sandwich.
When Edd has finished, he throws the bouquet over the fence, whereafter the sound of mauling and screaming (???) is heard. Ed opens up the box to inform there are normal dog treats inside, understanding chocolate to be poisonous to canines. While the uninterrupted barking should indicate the dog clearly doesn't care, Edd keeps up the act and throws the box over the fence as well. He deems it a successful first day and promises to be back.
Edd keeps his word and returns another day, time time carrying a large selection of books in a cart. He expresses these to be his favourite and sits down to read aloud. Again, it's hard to hear his voice, since the dog's is louder.
Jonny, Rolf, and Nazz then show up to watch from a distance. Jonny points at Edd and tells the others he was telling the truth and Edd is a furry. Neither Rolf or Nazz know what that word means and remark Edd isn't hairy at all. They walk off, seemingly disappointed to have followed Jonny for nothing.
Not long afterwards, Ed and Eddy come walking. Eddy is in disbelief and asks what he's doing, and Edd states the obvious. He says that's not how to deal with a dog, but Edd insists every beetle he's met loved this. Eddy flips his cart, really for no reason, and proclaims dogs like getting bribed with animal waste and tug toys. He hands him some toys -belonging to Sarah and Jimmy- and Ed sees it as his cue to open the gate, alarming Edd and Eddy. Eddy yells the intent was to play with the dog from behind the fence, but it's already too late and the critter B-lines straight for Edd's legs.
Edd tries to turn around and bolt for it, but literally anyone and anything is faster than him, and the dog digs its face inside his pants leg and starts pulling at his sock. Edd yelps a familiar line upon his sock falling victim and tries to shake it off, but its grip is unrelenting.
Ed tells him to sacrifice his sock, and Edd does so, but the dog immediately goes for the other leg. Edd drops his sock and shoe at that foot as well, whereafter the dog seemingly loses interest in Edd. He stands still to watch it rip his belongings to shreds, whereafter Eddy concludes it might've just hated his red socks all this time. He turns to Edd to ask if he's ever worn another colour, to which he says not to, making Eddy wonder if his sock choice has been the source of his animal troubles all this time. Ed decides it's case closed, as he's wearing one of Edd's socks as a sock puppet, mimicking his words.
Edd says to be careful with that with the dog still around and remarks it's unhygienic to wear a used sock over your hand, prompting Eddy to say his feet are so clean, he could eat off of it.
Jonny is standing in ear's reach and quickly turns to his cell phone to announce Eddy is a foot fetishist. Eddy barely hears and turns around confused, while the dog seems finished with the sock and lunges at Edd again. A smiling Ed feigns surprise and figures it saw his hat. Edd screeches to remember dogs are red-green colour blind and runs off with the dog grappled to his leg.
His screeching functions like a dog whistle, waking up pets from far and wide, and Edd is sent off-screen by a stampede of displeased dogs. And one small horse. Eddy tells Ed he was probably right the first time, then chuckles at Edd not to get stepped on. Jonny, still standing nearby, murmurs to Eddy he'd like that. He turns around confused again.
Edd disappears into the distance with his haters. Ed waves him farewell, as Eddy too watches on.

Beggars Should Not Be Eds
- "Eddy thinks that being a homeless person is the easiest way to get money."
The Eds are walking around in Peach Creek's shopping district, browsing the windows for movies they can't afford or still aren't allowed to watch, until they spot a shabby-looking man shuffling in the distance, holding a plastic cup with coins inside.
They recognize he's homeless and it's the first time they've seen anything like it in their hometown. Edd wonders if they should head over and offer some kind of assistance, but Eddy is disgusted by the idea and argues giving them handouts will only motivate more homeless people to come and stay homeless. Edd finds it a pessimistic viewpoint to have and promises very few people enjoy having to endure the outdoors and uncertainties that come with this life style. Eddy scoffs it's easy living, since there are no responsibilities, except for sitting on the street all day and holding out your hand to collect free cash from bleeding hearts like him.
Edd doubts it's that easy, inspiring Eddy to try and prove him wrong. He sits down on the pavement and holds out his hand, claiming it'll be filled with money at the end of the day. Ed points out Eddy "is only dressed a little bit homeless" and should change his appearance to look less well off. Eddy snarls what he means with "a little bit homeless", but sees his point.
Since Ed is an expert at looking unkempt, he helps Eddy look the part. Edd sits this one out and remarks never to have thought there'd come a day Ed would be the one to return the favour and give Eddy a make-over.
When everything's been taken care of, they return to the district. Eddy picks out a good place to sit down and look miserable. Ed and Edd keep standing next to him, though, so he shoos them and says to come back in a month. Edd finds that a very long time, but Ed talks right over him, wishing Eddy good luck with a genuine smile. Eddy gives them a thumbs up and grins to be a rich man after this. Edd groans, but leaves with Ed.
Eddy sits there for hours on end, but there're not many people walking the streets and the few that do don't even give him a look. Eddy curses their cruelty, but knows he can't abandon the experiment over it. Eventually, Nazz and Sarah show up, turning Eddy a bit bashful. He pulls up his hood, hoping he won't be recognized, and they pass by him. Though happy to have avoided their gaze, he still expresses disappointment in Nazz for not having given him money. Then suddenly, Jonny is standing next to him, asking him what he's up to.
He nearly gives Eddy a heart attack, but since he's been found out and Jonny isn't anyone he wishes to impress, he openly tells him about his plans. Jonny calls it disgusting with a big smile and turns to his cellphone, repeating his words to the person at the other side. Eddy doesn't appreciate being made fun of and tells him to give him money or get lost.
The sun starts setting and the temperature lowers. Eddy's back hurts from sitting on the pavement for so long, but he refuses to stand up. His cupped hand, still hovering, still empty, now freezing. More hours pass and Eddy starts to feel ill. As he's losing consciousness, the shadow of a man moves towards him. Eddy hears the rattling of coins inside a plastic cup. His hand becomes heavier, but so do his eyelids.
Morning arrives and Eddy finds himself back in his bedroom, with Ed and Edd accompanying him. Eddy is confused to be here, to which Ed said they went to check on him and found him dead, so carried him back home. Edd corrects they found him unconscious, while he's tidying up the room. Eddy growls at him not to touch his stuff, which Edd ignores.
He then diverts his attention to his nightstand, holding a pile of quarters. Ed notices him looking and remarks he was holding those. After a brief silence, Eddy jumps up in ecstasy and points a teasing finger at Edd, telling him he lost the bet, since he obtained more money in those few hours than in any other normal week. Edd gives him a dispassionate congratulations and continues cleaning up, while Eddy pumps his frost-bitten fists in the air in celebration.

Eds Don't Sparkle
- "Edd has been seriously ill for a week. Eddy makes Ed believe he might be transforming into a vampire."
Eddy's sweeping a classroom after some mishap and visibly not enjoying the punishment. He looks at the clock and sees it's nearly evening.
Ed shows up, walking right through the pile of dirt he just swept up, to greet him. Eddy barks at him for extending his work and asks what he's still doing here. Unlike what he assumed, he hasn't been punished over something and came back from enjoying tea with the principal. Eddy jokes if he's British, but also wonders if that's an appropriate thing to do. Ed smiles they're both boys, so there's no need to be suspicious. Eddy mutters he'd be surprised. Ed adds it was just a celebratory hot cup of water for his book report from yesterday -apparently having impressed their English teacher enough to tell the principal.
Eddy grumbles it's great he's doing great, though it doesn't sound convincing. Without having asked, Ed heads over to the dustpan to grab it, whereafter Eddy's mood shifts and he gives him an appreciative smile. The start cleaning up together, then head back home.
On the way, they look at Edd's house. Ed narrates it's been a week since they've seen Edd and worries his cold is something else Edd's parents refuse to share. Eddy doesn't think it's that deep and figures his recovery is taking so long because he's already weak when healthy. Ed says his arms are weak, but he eats alot of yoghurt and fruit salads. Eddy replies your immune system needs meat, not apples, which he learned do -in fact- not keep the doctor away.
Seeing Ed's worried face, though, Eddy begins to feel mischievous and entertains another possibility for Edd's absence; and he's been infected by a monster and is turning into one as they speak. Ed raises his eyebrow, or one side of it, and expresses not to be a child anymore. Eddy dials it up and asks why his parents are being so evasive and Edd won't even come to his bedroom window to reprimand them for shouting at him.
Ed's little brain is working hard to think of answers, whereafter he retorts Edd's parents are often gone and probably don't have time to talk to them, and Edd might be taking medicine that causes him to take heavy naps.
Eddy looks at him with perplexed eyes. His desire to win the debate turns his voice more serious and he asks when was the last time Edd was so sick he couldn't even write them a 20 page letter. Ed blushes and proclaims to have saved every single one. Eddy continues he has to agree it's all very suspicious. Ed brings up the alternative he's in the hospital and fighting for his life, to which Eddy insists his parents would've definitely told them then, since they are his best friends.
Suddenly, they see a pale, cloaked figure standing in the corner of their eyes. It's Edd wearing a bathrobe, checking out the prolonged ruckus going on outside his house, but he's too sick to focus and looks like he's sleepwalking. Ed and Eddy are struck silent upon seeing him, waiting for him to speak, walk up to them, or anything, but he continues to stand there. It's giving Ed the shivers and a careful smirk forms on Eddy's face when he notices, yet Edd's weird behaviour has priority right now.
After a whole lot of nothing, Edd's parents suddenly show up and rush Edd back inside, whereafter the door slams shut.
Eddy's grin expands and he turns to Ed, who looks convinced. He grab's Eddy's shoulders and moans they're too late and he's already turned, but Eddy isn't done playing and snickers they need to find a priest. Ed turns more dramatic and sobs they can't cure him, only kill him. Eddy fakes curiosity and asks the monster expert what he thinks is ailing Edd, after which Ed concludes he is now.. a vampire. A beam of lightning shoots from the sky as he utters the words. Eddy looks up. There's not a single cloud, so how?
Ed urges Eddy to come to his room to talk about it further, as the vampire has excellent hearing and will surely come for them if it thinks they're a threat to it. Eddy says he's still got homework to do, but doesn't mind hanging out for another 15 minutes. They walk off.
At their "extermination base", Ed grabs every comic and movie video tape he thinks is relevant to their predicament and presents an oddly detailed presentation about the concept of vampires and how to combat them. Eddy asks if he had all these charts lying around ready for use, but the question is ignored and Ed instead wants to know if he's ready to shoot Edd in the face for the sake of humanity. Eddy releases a big yawn and asks what the point of all those fancy murder methods is if a normal headshot does the trick as well. Ed replies shooting guns is nothing like the movies and hitting someone's head isn't that easy, especially when the target is fast and agile. Eddy murmurs he's been on a roll with his responses lately, though doesn't look happy about it.
Ed suggests they lay low for now and first figure out the vampire's daily routine and habits. Eddy pretends to be scared and asks if they'll have time for that before the beast initiates the attack, but Ed confidently replies he did not attack them or Edd's parents, meaning the transformation has not yet completed and the vampire still needs to acquire its killer instincts. Eddy calls it cool and says they can continue this tomorrow, but Ed refuses to let him leave and insists time is of the essence. Eddy repeats he has homework to do, but Ed's too deep into it, leaving him to ponder on whether to tell him it's all made up or risk seeming like a bad, uncaring friend.
Ed removes a poster from his wall, showing a misshapen dent with trinkets inside he likely bought at some fantasy fair marketplace. An emergency exit sign is stuffed in there as well, looking to be school property.
He grabs two chrome-layered (poorly done) daggers and hands one to Eddy. He doesn't want to wave any weapons around near Edd, which Ed shows understanding for, but not without warning him the vampire won't show him the same mercy. They need to be able to protect themselves if it decides to lunge at them. Eddy pushes the dagger away and says he'll just take Terry. Ed accepts the compromise and recalls he hates Edd's hands. Eddy smiles that's so, among other things.
They're back on the street, Ed with a dagger in his pocket, Eddy carrying Teddy. Also in his pocket.
The arrive back at Edd's house and figure on trying his bedroom window first. As always, the blinds are closed, but Ed doesn't mind settling on listening. He stands on Eddy's shoulders and puts his ear to the glass. He whispers it's quiet, but hears it breathing.
Eddy grins that's good, they know he's in his room, and they should go back to theirs and go do their homework already. Ed hushes him and nervously listens again.
After a few seconds, he tells him to hide, hearing shuffling inside.
They make it around the corner of the house, where the sideways silhouette of Edd's face slowly emerges from the window, blackened by the light of a conveniently low-hanging full moon. Ed and Eddy watch the admittedly eery image, petrifying even Eddy. A breeze pulls at his hair inside his nightcap, and Edd swiftly turns his head right at the faces of his spying friends. They meet his seemingly white, empty eyes, as long strands of hair dance in the wind like the swiping claws of an animal.
Ed clumsily throws his dagger to Edd, then loses all courage and runs off screaming. The dagger plops onto the ground under Edd's window. Eddy too is feeling the unease and hops out of there.
The two flee to their respective houses, with Ed using his time to barricade the doors and windows, while Eddy awkwardly grabs his school stuff and starts doing his homework in dead silence, his eyes wide open and unblinking the entire time.
Ed and Eddy are unresponsive, day after day, worrying some of the others. Rolf admits it's kinda boring without their usual tomfoolery, and with no one else wanting to risk getting sick, he offers to bring Edd a basket of healthy snacks from his hometown and the news of Ed and Eddy's state.
The next day, Edd show up at school, wearing a medical mask. As he approaches Ed and Eddy at the lockers, Ed dramatically jumps back against the lockers, damaging them all and speeds off screaming in unfiltered fear. Eddy looks wary, but stays put and comments on his return. Edd replies Rolf came to visit him yesterday and told him his absence made them feel down. Eddy releases a sheepish chuckle, whereafter Edd apologizes for keeping them clueless, though it was not on purpose and he had quite the virus. Eddy asks if he's feeling better then, to which he says not entirely, but the love of his friends will surely speed up his recovery than the sleep-inducing medicine he's had to endure. Afterwards, he asks Eddy if he and Ed have been standing around his house, thinking to have heard them, and Eddy confirms they were and planned killing him. Edd responds with an oddly casual "okey".
Eddy relaxes and smiles if he really came back because he was worried about them, calling him a wuss for good measure, but Edd admits it's Rolf's food that did it. He promised he'd bring him a new basket every day.
Suddenly, Ed pounced Edd from behind with an fire emergency axe and pulls off his mask, demanding to see the fangs he's obviously hiding away. Eddy grins and tells Edd to stop hiding the truth and show them already. Edd screeches as Ed is wrestling him down, waking up Teddy -apparently never having left Eddy's pants- who also jumps Edd.

Green Eds and Ham
- "As punishment for always pulling immature pranks in class, Eddy's English teacher assigns him to write a childrens book. He isn't up to the task, so gets tips from the experts, Jimmy and Sarah."
Eddy is stomping through the empty streets, but instead of going home, heads for Edd's place. He presses the doorbell and he opens up to greet him. Eddy gets to the point and says to need help with another stupid assignment -referring to a punishment a teacher at school gave him. Edd asks what the deal is this time, and Eddy replies he was called childish and now has to write a kids book because of an innocent prank. Or 6 innocent pranks.
Edd thinks it's lovely, but is also honest to say he might not be the best assistant for this, as he doesn't possess the kind of vocabulary most toddlers can understand. Eddy doesn't believe people can be "too smart to dumb themselves down" and insists he tries. Edd reminds him he's the one who has to write this book, but Eddy has already helped himself to his couch and the newspaper basket next to it. Edd sighs and agrees to write down a few ideas.
A few minutes later, Edd has finished and Eddy is given the results. He starts reading aloud and a painful next few seconds follow. During his read, he begins to nod off, then falls asleep. Edd sarcastically calls it hilarious, but then notices Eddy has truly been bored unconscious. He's unsure how to respond, so stands around like a deer in headlights.
Eddy, back outside, decides to visit Ed and dump his assignment on him instead. It's good news; and he appears to already have some story ideas written down. He proudly shows off his many notebooks and Eddy reads a few. He calls it disgusting. Ed asks if in a good way. Eddy gives everything back and explains it can't be horror-themed. Ed asks why not. Eddy understands it's time to go.
Since his friends don't understand the mind of the average child, Eddy decides to go home and summon his inner twerp. But, no inspiration comes for this assignment he just doesn't care about. Nothing that would please his English teacher, at least.
From his window, he sees Sarah and Jimmy walking by, going to the candy store to get a quick treat before closing time, by the sound of it. Sarah is wearing new clothes, looking fairly mature and dapper in the outfit, while Jimmy is covered in bandages and carrying a handbag that looks like a plaything for toddlers, opposed to an actual bag. Though time has changed Sarah, at least a little bit, Jimmy has remained notably the same.
They're the youngest people Eddy knows and the right demographic to bother with his issue, so he heads outside to meet with them. While Sarah predictably cares nothing about his problems and doesn't want to help, he manages to charm Jimmy into contemplating it. He's so creative, after all.
Sarah wants to leave, but Jimmy is further enticed by the claimed possibility his work could end up getting recognized outside of the classroom. She tells him not to believe it and he's just trying to get them to do the work for him -a classic Eddy scheme. Eddy smiles it's not a lie as long as he uses the words "maybe" and "possibly", but she's not impressed by his joke and pulls Jimmy along.
Eddy hears her muttering about how he hasn't changed and never will. That stings him a bit.
He calls after them he indeed wants them to do the work, since he can't. Sarah and Jimmy turn their heads to look at him. He continues he'd never bother someone over things he can do himself, but doesn't know where to begin with this and it's for an extra grade he really needs.
Sarah looks at Jimmy, but her hesitation doesn't last long and the two start walking again. Even so, Jimmy throws some advice his way, disguised as a question, and yells if he's never had a childhood.
Eddy arrives home and sits down to think. He knows what Jimmy meant, yet he doesn't know how to apply and turn his life into a story. Time keeps passing, and eventually, he hears knocking on his door. Assuming it's one of his friends, he tells them to come in, but finds Jimmy in his room instead. And then, Sarah too enters. She tells him not to expect them to do all the work, or that this means they like him again.
Jimmy asks to see what he's written so far, but there's nothing to show. He decides to start small and asks what kind of cartoons Eddy liked to watch when he was little. Eddy replies to have watched some shows Ed liked, but he himself mostly enjoyed adult entertainment. Jimmy wants to know what those shows were, but Sarah nips that conversation in the butt, just in case. He then asks what his favourite toy was and suggests turning that into the main character of his story, but Eddy can't remember.
Sarah groans if he's done anything fun as a child. Eddy insists his childhood was a blast. Jimmy proposes he turns everything that made it great into a story, then for the title of the book, asks what one word would best describe his past. Eddy thinks to himself, then proclaims "rich". Sarah huffs he's never been rich, but Jimmy thinks that'll make for a nice title.
Eddy asks who should be the main character, and Sarah replies it's obviously him at this point. Jimmy says he can use a pseudonym if he doesn't want to make it obvious, and maybe add some drawings wherein the character looks nothing like him. Sarah doubts Eddy will put in the effort, but upon Jimmy's claim more drawings means less text will be needed, Eddy is quick to express it's a great idea.
Next, Jimmy instructs Eddy to think about what made his childhood days "rich", and describe how a good day began, transpired, and ended, with Sarah reminding him that it has to revolve around his past life, not current one.
The two then leave him to it and head outside to eat their candy and jump some rope. Eddy takes a long time, but finishes in time for Jimmy and Sarah to review.
The story "Rich" starts off with a spherical boy, climbing out of a crib. Sarah smirks he was supposed to think of a character that didn't look like him. Jimmy shushes her.
The narration describes how the boy is hungry and wants candy for breakfast, but his parents say no. The boy is then seen climbing inside of his father's car, wanting to take it for a drive, but his parents say no. The boy sees a fun movie in the rental store, but his parents say no.
The boy then goes off to see a friend, someone with a more flattering build. He always has candy lying around, owns his own car, and all the movies he likes. He shares everything with him and the poor boy finally feels rich.
The story then exclaims the boy wants candy again the next day, but his friend wants a joke in return. He can't think of anything, so his friend thinks of a joke himself. He takes the boy's clothes and locks the door of his house, and outside he stays, for the rest of the day.
The boy ignores the whole incident, and the next day, asks if he can drive his car again. This makes his friend angry, since it didn't go so well last time and he broke one of his buttons. He tells the boy he should pay for it, it's only fair, so the boy borrows some money from his father, though doesn't tell him.
On the next page, his friend looks to be in a bad mood, with the accompanying drawing showing the main character looking scared and standing next to a frowning character with balled fists. The boy figures this is the right moment to suggest putting on some movies to unwind from all the stress. But he's wrong, it's not the right moment, and his friend pushes him. And pushes him again. The boy is already lying on the floor, yet he's pushed again.
The narration asks the question if he's a good friend to his friend, who's made him feel so rich, while he's not done anything in return. But when the boy wants to see his friend again to apologize, his parents say no.
His parents give him spinach, a blanket, and a rattle, but it's not what he likes. They pet his head and want to pick him up, but that's not cool, unlike his lost friend. A drawing shows him thinking about him with fondness, while wearing a bandage on his face.
A drawing then shows two people driving a wrecking ball crane to a house. It's the boy's parents, who never want him to think about his friend again, so, they're getting rid of his house. They point at the boy's face and urge him to see what he did to him, but he doesn't care and starts mailing letters to his friend. He doesn't respond, so he sends more. While he's busy writing, his parents show up to give him more spinach, another blanket, and his rattle. But, it's not what he likes.
The story ends with the declaration the boy is rich, but needs time to understand.

Brown-nosed Ed
- "Ed wins three tickets to a horror movie festival and has trouble finding people who'd like to join him, but when Kevin discovers they're actually for a sold out concert, news spreads fast."
Ed is sitting at the table in his room, delicately assembling some kind of beastly sculpture, until he slaps on its last features with a forceful hand. He then looks around the room and examines or digs in every space, until he finds an oddly old-fashioned 1920s photo camera and positions it in front of his work to take a shot.
Eddy then barges in and greets him, the slamming of the door causing the room to rumble. Ed asks him to wait, whereafter Eddy exits again and closes the door. Ed takes a photo and tells Eddy he's done.
Eddy continues where he left off and asks if he wants to shake down the slotmachine at the bar, but Ed says he's about to send his entry to a horror contest and wants to wait for the results to come. Eddy looks at his work and the camera, noting he just made the picture and still has to send in his entry, which Ed confirms. Eddy asks if he wants to wait and do nothing for what could be weeks, which Ed confirms.
Eddy leaves the room, and as said, Ed mails the photo and returns home to sit and wait. Days and nights pass, until Sarah shows up to throw a piece of mail adressed to him onto his floor and disappears again. Ed picks up the letter, but concludes he can't read well enough to determine what it says, though doesn't have to, as the added tickets speak for itself. He cheers and hurries over to Eddy's house, where he and Edd are busy making what looks like a cake -though it seems like Eddy was the one who made it and messed it, while Edd tries to salvage it. When Ed running in, Edd hurriedly stuffs it in the roomiest space he knows, this being Eddy's shirt. He's not happy about it, but allows for it.
Ed announces to have won tickets to a horror movie festival, though interrupts himself to ask what they were doing just now. Edd wants to keep it a secret, but Eddy is already done playing storage cabinet and drops the ruined cake from his shirt, revealing they were practising making a birthday cake for him. Edd sighs.
Ed is moves and gives the both of them a loving hug. He then reminds himself of the episode's plot and repeats to have won tickets. Eddy congratulates him and Edd remarks they've been rather lucky lately -one of them again winning tickets to something- but when asked if they want to join him, neither Edd or Eddy sound excited to attend such a ghastly event.
Ed is saddened, but Eddy tries to console him that this horror stuff is his thing and he'll surely have fun without them. He insists on going with a buddy, but respects their rejection and announces to ask one of the other kids. Edd finds it a good idea and hopes it'll help reaffirming their friendship with them. Eddy rolls his eyes and groans at the comment, but wished Ed good luck as he shakes even more cake out of his shirt. Eventually, a microscope comes falling out, prompting Edd to ask if that's his microscope.
Ed is out on the street, looking for whoever's around to invite, but nobody seems to share his taste for the dark and the morbid. The last person he thinks of asking is Kevin, who's been tinkering with his prized scooter in front of his house the entire time. Ed is a bit hesitant to approach, knowing he doesn't like him much, but he repeats Edd's comment about reaffirming their friendship and walks over.
He greets him, but Kevin only looks up with a snarl on his face. Ed nervously grabs his three tickets and asks if he and one of his parents perhaps like to go to a horror festival with him. Kevin scoffs at the offer and random suggestion to take his parents, calling it pretty desperate. There's no sympathy returned for Edd and Eddy not going, and Kevin deems them abandoning him the most sensible thing they've ever done.
Ed is struck silent and looks defeated. It's enough to insert some regret in Kevin, but there's no apology and he instead alters his answer to say he doesn't have time.
Ed turns around, allowing for Kevin to see the back of the tickets, the logo of which looks very familiar to him. He jumps up in shock as Ed walks away, unsure if he's seeing right. He realizes they're tickets for a sold out concert, worth thousands of dollars, featuring the biggest musical stars of today. It's an event to make any and all teenagers drool, and Kevin hurries over to try and revoke his earlier answer, but Ed is surprisingly skeptical of his sudden interest. Kevin struggles to give an excuse that sounds believable, though also can't resist to remark why it's suddenly so had to convince an otherwise gullible idiot like him. Ed does the right thing and distances himself from the conversation.
Since Ed has two spare tickets, Kevin decides to involve Nazz and asks her to sweet-talk Ed into giving the both of them a ticket. Knowing what concert it's for, Nazz agrees to try, but Jonny just about exits his house and hears the two talking -wasting to time to call his supposed friend on the phone and shouting this news to her. Everyone heard.
The pebbles on the street start shaking. Ed looks down, then up like he's Simba about to witness wildebeests coming for him. All the kids come running for him, promising favours in exchange for a ticket. Ed has no idea what's come over them and starts running. Eddy leaves Edd behind to also join the chase, and eventually, Ed gets cornered in the junkyard by everyone.
They're all shouting at him, if not each other, and their desperation turns them hostile. Ed is alarmed when he witnesses them pushing each other around, and throws the tickets at them, telling them they can have them and to stop it. He scurries away, while they jump the valuable pieces of paper and continue the fight.
They then realize the tickets have become lost, but turn around to see Edd holding them. He scolds them for their behaviour and treatment of Ed, who is the rightful owner of these tickets. Kevin says that not to matter, as he willingly gave them up, to which Edd says he did so to calm their psychotic episodes.
No one else is allowed to say another word, as Ed rips the tickets in many little pieces. Edd is showered with yelps of rage and shock, but with the tickets gone, their reason to fight is as well and the kids shuffle back home. Eddy asks if he knows what those tickets were for and assures everyone will hate him for months, but Edd shrugs that to be the fate of an Ed. Eddy then too leaves, whereafter Edd decides to look up Ed.
He's back in his room, storing away the scupture that caused everything on a proper shelf. There's tapping to be heard on his window, where he sees Edd hunched over and waving at him. Upon opening it for him, Edd expresses to sympathize with his difficulty finding a friend to go to the event with. Ed murmurs not to worry about it and all has been taken care of.
Edd digs in his pocket and hands him his ticket, the only one left. Ed is surprised the others gave it back, as they all looked so eager to go. This comment makes Edd unsure on whether he should comfort Ed with a lie or tell the truth, but, he decides not to respond at all and merely tells him to go have fun.
Before Edd can get up, Ed grabs his hand and puts the ticket back in his palm. He smiles it's for him and he should go. Edd insists he takes it back, but Ed admits to know now they're not what he aimed for and the address he sent his picture to was something else entirely.
Edd is confused, so Ed clarifies his letter reached the home address of a rock artist who liked his monster enough to want it as his mascot and gave the tickets as a reward. Edd asks if he doesn't want to go, but Ed says that not to be his thing. While it isn't Edd's either, he can't find it in his heart to reject his gift and thanks him. Before he can go, Ed grabs his big photo camera and pushes it in Edd's hands with the request to take pictures of his monster if he happens to see it anywhere.
On the night of the concert, Edd is standing awkwardly by himself in a packed room, holding a big 1920s camera. It's loud, people are rowdy, and he is not having a good time, until something off-screen catches his eye and changes his expression. He points the camera up and a big flash emerges as he takes a picture.

Look Both Eds
- "Ed and Eddy discover that Edd failed all his previous driving tests and decide to teach him themselves."
It's weekend, and the Eds want to visit to the next town over and take their van for the trip. When they enter, though, they all sit down in the back. Eddy says he won't be driving, since he's tired and he has a sore wrist. Edd foolishly asks what caused it, to which Eddy says he couldn't possibly relate. They then look at Ed, who's already fallen asleep, like sitting in cars tend to do. Moving cars, normally, but..
Eddy asks Edd if he's started on getting his driver's license yet. Edd stutters he will soon. Since he's 18 and so fond of learning, Eddy finds it strange he hasn't already, to which Edd excuses his tardiness over being so busy with school. Eddy expects the studious and overly curious machine lover already looked into it to some degree and wants him to sit in the driver's seat to show him what he knows. Edd declines, saying driving without a license is illegal. Eddy smiles he can borrow his, but Edd says it not to work like that. He says he's right and throws him Ed's license instead, proclaiming his name and face are a better match.
He insists nothing will happen if they stay in the cul-de-sac, but Edd reminds him he wrecked the van before. Eddy huffs that was a handful of episodes ago and they're in a more relaxed setting.
Edd decides to give it a shot, but as he turns the key, the van somehow shoots forward into Rolf's house. He comes shouting from behind the building, carrying what looks like a machine gun, startling the Eds, until it appears to be an oddly-shaped egg collector. Ed suggest they run over Rolf anyway to be sure of their safety, surprising Eddy, who tells him to calm down.
Eddy gets out to apologize and promises Edd will pay for every brick damaged. Edd looks unhappy, but knows he can't argue.
He then turns to Edd to ask why he hasn't started on taking lessons yet. Edd comes clean and says to have tried nearly every month for 2 years, but keeps failing. Ed smiles he's embarrassing. Eddy digs in his pocket and gets out some money, telling Ed to get himself a snack, since he's been acting up.
He turns back to Edd and says not to worry about it, since he and Ed are seasoned drivers at this point and can help. He tells him to get back in the van and try again, against Edd's better judgement, and the van is this time launched sideways into Jimmy's house. Eddy comes crawling out with confusion over his incompetence and already bemoans his offer.
Some time later, Edd has been placed on what appears to be Kevin's scooter. Eddy claims it's a sensible step back and will help him train his motor skills, but Edd doubts that and asks if Kevin gave his permission. Eddy wisely ignores the question and tells him to start doing a few circles.
Edd positions himself, but then, the scooter explodes under him. Edd is petrified of shock and has to be carried away by Ed as the three boys escape the crime scene.
Later, they're in Ed's backyard, where Edd is asked to take seat in a carton box taped to a toy wagon. He doesn't see what use the contraption could have, but Eddy insists. He sits down in the way too small cart. While he's not instructed to "drive" and isn't moving, all seems to go well, until he suddenly gets an anxiety attack and everything starts shaking. The wagon ungraciously falls over with Edd in it. Ed is confused and remarks nothing happened to warrant the dramatic accident. Eddy agrees and proclaims it's all in Edd's head.
Edd gets up and sighs that his fear for driving may very well be the cause of his abysmal performance, yet can't figure out what makes him so on edge. Ed asks if he's ever witnessed a car accident in person, but Edd can't think of anything that wasn't meant to be "for comedic purposes". Eddy laments it's hard to know when something's supposed to be serious when you're living in a comedy show; evidenced by their director deciding his brother is a villain, while Sarah's abuse towards Ed is not questioned by anyone. Ed frowns upon this realization.
Edd concludes he needs to figure out the exact reason for his fear before they can sacrifice another vehicle. Ed hurriedly puts on another pair of glasses over his regular ones and grabs a notepad, but Edd tells him he's not letting him play his doctor again after the last time. Eddy says therapists aren't real doctors, so it's fine. He trips Edd, causing him to fall onto the carton box -taking on the general shape of an armchair.
Ed asks him if he's afraid of driving, then proudly pronounces him "scared" when Edd has no chance but to confirm that which he already confirmed. Eddy sees his input is needed and lists a few traffic and car-related things, but none seem to particularly worry him.
Ed and Eddy are at a loss, until Ed suggests one of them drives, while letting Edd sit on their lap and pretend. Eddy finds that kind of trickery more suitable for a 4-year-old, but Edd thinks it has merit. They head over to Ed's truck, where he and Edd sit down in the driver's seat. Eddy waits for them outside the garage, but then figures he risks getting killed and moves to the roof.
Ed grabs Edd's hand and pulls it towards the key, forcing it to turn it. With Edd's limbs placed onto every one of Ed's, he gets a feel of how it's done, though with Ed doing the actual work. Though the experience visibly pleases him, Ed can feel him shaking. Eddy watches on with contend and shouts at Ed from above to make Edd do an ollie.
He watches them drive a few rounds, until Ed abort and they head back out again. Eddy asks what gives and they should take his can to the freeway, but Ed looks unwilling. He climbs down to ask again. Ed says it might not be a good idea to keep forcing it and Edd appears truly afraid. Eddy gets snarky and asks when he's become the expert. He walks over to Edd to ask how it went, who acts nothing like Ed claimed.
Just then, Nazz and Sarah show up to ask what they've been doing all day. Eddy explains their business, surprising Nazz in particular.
She decides not to linger on the strangeness of someone this intelligent and dexterous still not having his license, and asks Edd if he'd like to borrow her mother's car, since it's small and easier to navigate. Eddy is feeling chaotic and smiles that'd be funny a good idea. Edd wants to decline, but when she offers to sit with him to give him some guidance, he gets a knot in his throat. She pulls him along to her house, where a well-polished yellow with pink Mini car is waiting in its garage.
Since it looks like a new purchase, it already dials up the anxiety, but Nazz' soft touch brings him back into his trance. She guides him inside and sits down next to him, whereafter silence follows. He looks at her and she looks back with an unassuming smile. Then, she confesses not to know what he should do, as she failed her tests as well.
It leads to Edd having to teach Nazz instead, who also ends up taking the driver's seat instead, while Edd plays her instructor. Ed and Eddy watch them drive around the street, bearing witness to the switch and looking rightfully confused about it.
When Edd tells her to hit the breaks, though, Nazz isn't quick enough to figure it out and wrongly thinks there is none, causing a familiar incident to replay. With Nazz having no understanding of anything and Edd being compromized by his panic, the car keeps moving without direction.
Eddy shakes his head and orders Ed to stop the car for them. Curiously, Ed decides to do this by throwing himself onto the pavement and letting Nazz run him over, causing Edd to faint. Nazz casually gets out and thanks Ed for the help. An hand emerges from the victim, now wrapped around the rear wheel, giving her the OK sign. Eddy collects Edd's floppy body and apologizes for the lifelong trauma. Nazz doesn't know what he's referring to.
When Edd comes to, he finds himself sloppily thrown onto a couch in what appears to be Eddy's living room. Ed and Eddy are playing video games on the TV, but greet him as he awakens. He then gasps and proclaims it's his driving school scam experience with Nazz that affected his ability to drive, but Eddy doesn't care to hear it and intervenes they already guessed as much.
After seemingly losing from Ed, he throws the controller at him and tells him it's his turn. Edd silently straightens himself on the couch and starts playing, whilst looking eager to discuss it some more, but accepting that no one cares and the episode is over.

Two Eds in a Pod
- "Jimmy loses a bet and has to sleep in Ed's room for a week. He discovers they aren't that different from each other."
It's the weekend and everyone is out and about doing their own thing.
Jimmy is playing on the front lawn, wearing a sparkly red blouse and a yellow magician's hat. In front of him is a painted carton box tribune, where his grown stuffed animal collection is seated to "watch" what looks to be a circus stage -represented by a pretty circle-shaped rug. All in all, it's a colourful spectacle.
Jonny shows up to watch and Jimmy is happy to have a breathing audience member's attention, so asks if he wants to take a seat. Jonny looks at the box tribune and remarks it looks like he's sold out. Jimmy hurriedly brings a lawn chair and throws a boa over it, but evidentally, Jonny came to visit for a different reason; and asks if he isn't too old for this kind of stuff. He insists the circus is timeless entertainment for all ages, to which Jonny clarifies the act of putting on a show for your baby aisle toys isn't. The angered Jimmy grabs back the lawn chair and tells him he can go if he doesn't want to watch.
Jonny then raises his cell phone to his ear to listen to the voice at the other side. Jimmy gives a skeptical look as he waits, not entirely convinced he's talking to anyone. Jonny then lowers it back down and tells him to grow up. Jimmy grinds his teeth and growls if all that was necessary just to throw one last insult at him. Jonny says to always get a second opinion from his friends. Jimmy doubts he has any and huffs he at least has friends -gesturing to his tribune. Jonny raises an eyebrow, whereafter Jimmy nervously changes hands and points at Sarah standing in front of her house, swearing up a storm as she and Ed are tasked to help carry out its furniture. Jonny remarks he's not even helping out his supposed friend with their family spring cleaning, whereafter Jimmy yelps his hands are too soft in defense.
Jonny pats the back of his cell phone and confirms to have many friends, but his best buddy is always on the line with him. Jimmy makes one last effort to win this pointless argument by proclaiming his best friend is better, since she's a girl, but Jonny is quick to fire back his friend is one too. The slighted Jimmy demands he proves he has friends, as he doesn't remember him celebrating with the other kids of the cul-de-sac back when they met Eddy's brother.
Jonny thinks to himself, then asks what the celebration was about, apparently not having remembered the events. Jimmy is puzzled by the response, but doesn't find it important enough to pursue and instead orders Jonny to prove he has more friends than him -promising to throw away all of his toys if he beats him.
Jonny finds that too extreme of an offer and tells him not to do that. He then looks at Ed and Sarah, still hard at work. Ed is covered in dust bunnies and grease from who knows what, a peculiar outcome for someone merely tasked to move furniture around.
He turns to Jimmy to ask if they're finally going to take care of Ed's room as well, which Jimmy doubts. With that, Jonny exclaims Jimmy should spend a week in his room if he loses.
Jimmy already grabbed a bucket from somewhere to throw up in, and his stuffed animals carry a displeased expression in response. They didn't pay for this. Jonny smirks if his nausea means he knows there's a chance he'll lose, but Jimmy refuses to believe Jonny's more popular than him and won't back down on the bet.
Jonny heads off to find people to confirm as his friend. Even though not everyone returns an enthusiastic answer, Jonny manages to collect the signatures of all three Eds, Nazz, and someone called Wesley. Upon seeing the list, Jimmy is baffled to see the Eds on there, but also curious to know who Wesley is. Jonny says he's the man who works at the Kitchen Shop.
Jimmy grabs a piece of paper and heads off to collect some signatures himself, but returns with only Sarah and Ed's. Jonny is surprised Edd isn't even on there, to which Jimmy growls that's because they're archrivals.
Jonny celebrates knowing he's not the least popular kid in the cul-de-sac, while Jimmy is hit pretty hard by the realization. His eyes drift towards his little play corner. He wonders if he's truly lagging behind on the maturity development and this is why people can't stand him.
Later that evening, Jimmy comes walking into Ed's room, carrying a sleeping bag under his arm. Ed silently watches him settle down, then asks if he can help him. Jimmy asks Ed not to mind him, as he's lost a bet and has to sleep here for a week.
He doesn't mind the bold intrusion and smiles to be happy he's staying over. Jimmy mutters to himself to expect nothing less from his only other friend in the world.
Ed grabs a bunch of video tapes and asks which one they should watch first. Jimmy can't pretend to care and wants to sleep the night away, but since Ed is insistent, he picks a random one. The cheerful Ed commends his choice.
The depressed Jimmy watches him set everything up, like he truly didn't care to be the uninformed punishment of a lost bet. As Jimmy turns around in his sleeping bag, he can't help but ask him if he's truly fine with it. Ed keeps it short; and exclaims to love sleepovers. After browsing the posters on Ed's walls, and toys and gadgets on the shelves and floor, he asks if he isn't too old to be liking sleepovers. Ed smiles that hanging out with friends is for all ages, and adds he and his friends went to Dizzyland not long back.
Jimmy jumps up in his love for Dizzyland, but hesitates to utter excitement and lies back down. Ed, though, throws an unopened Dizzyland trinket Jimmy's way; a music box of some cutesy creature called "Sticky Mickey". Jimmy thinks it was given to him to look over and thanks him for showing it off, but Ed clarifies his intentions and says he should have it. He won it in a lottery game, but tries to steer clear from owning technical contraptions and devices, since he's rather accident-prone.
Jimmy is surprised by his self-awareness and flattered by his continuous random kindness, but can't help but ask when he started seeing him as a friend. Ed thinks back, and says at least since the day Sarah asked him to look after him. Jimmy remembers Eddy having a much stronger presence that day, yet agrees they did have some fun together. Ed's expression turns melancholic upon hearing it and he asks if he perhaps forgot, but Jimmy nervously reiterates he didn't. Ed tells him it's alright regardless, since he was little then, after all.
Ed jams the video in his recorder, which keeps spitting it out again and again, delaying their movie night. Jimmy looks at the gifted music box in his hands. He feels happy to have acquired it, but not happy about feeling happy about it. He asks Ed if he still plays with his toys and what people think about it.
Ed looks at the items Jimmy considers toys, and replies not to know, as he's never thought of asking. Jimmy continues wanting to know if he's ever been made fun over it, and Ed replies not to know, as he's never thought of asking. Jimmy grumbles that's the thing about being made fun of; you never ask for it, but it still happens. Ed cluelessly smiles that's convenient.
Jimmy understands there's no point in trying to have a deep conversation with someone like Ed and puts his head back down. But, when his eyes wander back into his direction, Ed is no longer messing around with the recorder.
Having always known him as this lump of barely conscious meat, whose wandering eyes struggle to make contact with anything, Jimmy is startled by the serious, spectacled gaze pointed straight at him.
With gears still turning inside his head, Ed isn't quick to assemble his next sentence, but does his best to make it count. He proclaims to be Ed, and everyone knows he is, so even if what they think of him or say is hurtful, it won't change anything; he will never not be him. Jimmy replies people can change for the better, to which Ed retorts that some forms of "better" don't take you and your happiness into account, making it not really better.
Jimmy mutters he just wants to be cool, but fears he's just an extension of the much more assertive Sarah and no one truly cares about him. Ed tells him Sarah definitely cares, but Jimmy continues to lament Jonny has way more friends than him. Ed frowns and asks why Sarah isn't enough for him. Jimmy nervously mutters that's not what he tried to convey.
Ed sits down next to his recorder -now continuously spitting out and swallowing the tape without any input. He unplugs the device, then turns his attention back to Jimmy.
He tells him to have also felt like he's just there to follow around his friends, yet is comforted by the thought he'd be missed if he were to disappear, even if he makes things harder for them and can't join in on most of their conversations. He then asks if he thinks he's a bother to Sarah, but Jimmy can't answer a question he's never thought of. Ed wants to know what for he wants to be cool and Jimmy argues for his own sake, but when again asked why, there's no answer.
Ed scratches his head, the topic clearly requiring more brainpower than he can muster. Aware of his limitations, he asks if he should call Edd over to talk with him about it, but the name-drop brews hostility within Jimmy and he mumbles not wanting to see him. Ed starts scratching harder.
Not knowing how to dissect complex emotional hardships like these, he settles on a more general answer and tells him not to change for others, as he's still young and he'll regret it when he's big. Jimmy pushes on and asks what makes him so sure, to which Ed says that friends who like your fake self, but not your real self, are fake friends you don't want to waste good birthday party cake on.
With Jimmy seen contemplating the answer, Ed quickly asks if he'd rather share his real self with one real friend or his fake self with 100 fake friends. Jimmy's expression softens and he seems to understand his point. Ed is pleased with himself to have soothed his guest's mind somewhat and smiles back. He then turns back to his recorder and announces they should get the party started.
The following week, Jimmy keeps coming back to Ed's room because he has to, yet Sarah hears their happy voices downstairs every night. She isn't sure what to think of it, but seems content with the two hanging out and doesn't disturb them.

Ed Got Your Tongue
- "The Eds try to make Jonny tell what happened to Plank."
The Eds are standing in Eddy's front garden, behind a row of boxes with a sign on the ground declaring the scam of the day. They're a moving company, with small letters on the sign offering Kevin in particular 50% off. But their attention is not with their business or the fact it's not a success.
They're staring at a still unseen character in the distance, revealed to be Jonny, sitting against a tree and happily chatting away on his Plank-shaped cell phone; his new obsession ever since Plank himself disappeared.
Eddy wonders if there's actually someone at the other end, doubting anyone would want to talk to him. Edd replies Jonny has claimed plenty of times it's a female friend, which Eddy calls wishful thinking. Ed then notes they've never asked him why he ditched Plank and they should consider doing so, but Edd says the reason is probably nothing noteworthy and Jonny likely just outgrew his toys like kids do. Eddy replies he still plays with his ants, to which Edd corrects they are not toys.
Ed's curiosity isn't stilled by the answer and he heads over to interrupt Jonny's phone conversation.
Edd and Eddy watch Jonny greet the upbeat Ed, but upon hearing the reason for his visit, his mood shifts. Though they didn't really care that much before, it surprises them to see him act this startled. They look at each other, but decide to wait for Ed to return and share his findings.
He says Jonny couldn't answer him, as his phone girlfriend had an emergency and he had to head over to give CPR. Now that this friend has apparently been promoted to girlfriend, Eddy is distraught by the idea Jonny got one before him, but Edd knows the emergency is an obvious excuse.
Ed insists Jonny would never lie, as he's been hurtfully honest on accident many times. Eddy smirks if he's sure about it being accidental, but Edd sees what Ed means and thinks Jonny's awkward response to an otherwise innocent question isn't normal.
Eddy disagrees Jonny is incapable of lying, as he pretended not to be his fruity superhero persona. Ed waves a stern, defensive finger and replies he had to, as to not repeat his mistake with uncle Ben. Edd clarifies Ben's death wasn't the result of Peter's secret identity being found out, as he had none at that point.
That was a mistake. Ed starts to ramble on about a theory he and other comic book fans have, urging Eddy to interrupt and get the episode back on track. Eddy admits to feel somewhat invested after seeing Jonny act so off and suggests they pester him. When Edd wants to object, he quickly adds they'll need to know what happened if they want to help him. And charge him for it.
He tells Edd to find himself a doctor's coat and Ed to practise his sofa skills as he runs off to collect Jonny. Ed turns to Edd and asks if they're really going to play therapist after all these hours of standing around when there's homework waiting for them, but Edd just shrugs, knowing their chance to argue has flown.
Surprisingly, Eddy manages to get Jonny, who cheerfully announces to be crazy and in need of some cash-motivated love and attention. Edd, wearing a clean white jacket, is curious to know what Eddy told him and asks if he knows why he's here, to which he replies "his autism". Edd jumps up in surprise. He leans over to Eddy and whispers to have never known, though it answers some questions. Eddy grins Jonny bought the claim right away, since he's autistic. Evidentally, a random diagnose was given to lure Jonny over, yet Eddy still believes it himself.
Edd sighs and gestures Jonny to sit on the sofa, which is just Ed on all fours. Jonny remarks to like Edd's taste in decoration, to which he mutters they're in Eddy's front lawn.
Since it's expected of him, Edd tries to ease Jonny into spilling the beans by talking about his childhood. Jonny has a positive view of the past and doesn't share anything that could be misconstrued. Eddy keeps butting in with examples that call him out and argue he's had it bad, which are ignored by both Edd and Jonny, though their reasons differ. Eddy then silently pushes Edd to get to the point, whereafter he carefully mentions the controversial wooden board by guessing it too is a fond memory. Jonny falls silent.
The Eds carefully watch him, but Jonny is curt in his answer and merely agrees it was. It's difficult to continue from there on, but Ed the couch saves the day by asking if that means Plank no longer is.
With all eyes still on him, Jonny understands running away won't bring an end to the snooping and he needs to answer them.
He begins by saying Plank was a selfish friend and he kicked him out of the house after realizing he only used him for his fleshy legs. When Ed asks how Plank could've left without fleshy legs, Jonny understands his story needs some adjustments. A quick and lazy flashback scene starts, narrated by Jonny, who proclaims he chucked him out of the window. When asked what window and into what direction, Jonny falls silent again, sweat forming on his face.
The flashback scene continues and he corrects a bear came along and took Plank away into the woods. The news a bear is roaming Peach Creek makes Eddy nervous, while the story compels Edd to ask why any animal would take a piece of wood. Jonny stammers he made a mistake and it was actually a big beaver that was looking for wood to build its dam with. Ed is ecstatic and asks where the beaver's house is, but Jonny says not to know.
Eddy turns to Edd and asks if he's ever seen a beaver or a dam near any of the creeks they've so often visited, but Edd says not to, nor has seen anything off with their water levels that would suggest there's a dam nearby.
When they turn their attention back to Jonny, they see him in the midst of sneaking away. Eddy quickly grabs him and puts him back down onto Ed, smirking he paid for a full hour.
Jonny fiddles with his fingers as he tries to concoct a better story, then settles on pretending to get a phone call. Eddy snatches the phone to listen and concludes he was right all along and there's no one on the other side. Jonny yelps there is, but he was just pretending this time, accidentally exposing himself. He grabs back his phone and stammers to have seen Plank kissing his dad, and now they've ran off together. Edd wants to grace this with an "And how does that make you feel?", but Eddy smacks him on the back of the head and tells him not to waste his time dissecting what is clearly another lie.
Edd turns to Eddy and expresses it's a waste of time to force Jonny to tell something he doesn't want to. Eddy has no empathy for Jonny's feelings and snarls there was plenty he himself never wanted to tell the world, but did, which made him feel better in the end. Edd understands his reasoning, but adds they can't know the severity of Jonny's pain. Eddy's face turns rather stern after the comment.
He asks if a piece of fence can cause more pain than anything he's gone through. Edd assures him not to have meant it like that, but entertains the possibility it could be on par from Jonny's perception. Eddy scoffs at the thought.
Jonny listens at them talk about him with a worried expression, then pulls himself together and smiles it's indeed not that big of a deal. Ed, still a sofa, asks what is the deal, but Jonny just smiles not to know.
He gets up and cheerfully demands Eddy to give him back half of his money, as he won't be finishing his session. Seeing there's no point in prolonging this, Eddy grumbles to himself and hands some bills back. Edd's eyes widen upon learning Jonny had paid them 800 dollars for this obvious scam.
Jonny pulls out his phone to call back his friend and resume whatever conversation Eddy interrupted, whereafter Edd turns to Eddy and gives him a long stare. He gestures at Ed, still a sofa, and asks if he'd like to take a seat. Eddy huffs everything's been said and done and he has no need for therapy from a quack.
Edd is offended by the insult and points Eddy to the door, which happens to be his own front door. Eddy disappears inside, while Edd releases a deep sigh and rests on "his sofa". Ed says nothing.
A few kids pass them by, confused by the sight. Kevin calls at the two they need therapy.

If You Love Ed, Let Ed Go
- "After Nazz shows signs that she might have feelings left for Kevin, an initially disappointed Edd decides to go undercover and try and bring them together."
It's lunchtime and everyone is sitting in the school canteen. Nazz shows up, wearing a different outfit and her hair down, catching most every boy's attention. She greets whoever's eyes meet hers, though Edd seems to get a bit more attention, which he makes sure to tell his jealous friends. Eddy spills his drink over Edd's lap, who doesn't respond and keeps his lovestruck eyes on her as she sits down with Kevin. Ed sees the mess and tries to tell him he's made an accident, but Edd instead expresses his desire to confess to her and wants to know their opinion.
Eddy tells him not to bother, as even his monstrous chin isn't big enough for her. Ed follows she indeed likes Kevin more. Edd reminds them of the warm looks she always gives him and the many times they've hung out together when they were on better terms with the kids, to which Eddy replies that still doesn't change the fact that time has ended and she always sits at Kevin's table. Edd believes Nazz is merely trying to protect her image and her seeking Kevin out is over the fact they're childhood friends.
Eddy raises an eyebrow at Ed, then asks Edd if she's really the one for him if she thinks he's a loser who'll drag her down. Ed remarks that's kinda desperate, while he uses a pair of tongs to stir a slice of toast through a plastic container of Chunky Puffs and gravy.
Edd seemingly didn't listen to his friends' reason and gets up with the announcement to purchase some flowers to give her at the end of class. Eddy calls him a nerd and insists women only want food nowadays, whereafter Ed suggests him to buy her a clown. But Edd, again not having listened, already left.
Eddy turns to Ed, saying to be rather surprised by his assertiveness and Ed might actually win their bet -referring to some kind of conversation they've had behind the scenes. Ed smiles contendedly his best friend would never die without having kissed a blonde babe on the mouth. Eddy grumbles what he means with "best friend", falls silent, then asks what his own hair colour is. Ed thinks to himself, then says not to know and guesses black. Eddy asks what his hair colour is in this series, to which Ed replies it's pink. He asks if that's this universe's strawberry blond, like blue is black, whereafter Ed holds out his hand, waiting to collect. Eddy tries to safe himself by arguing he's not a babe, but his vanity won't let him.
He grinds his teeth and places down a 100 dollar bill on Ed's waiting palm. He lost, Edd has already been frontally assaulted by a blonde babe.
As the school day transpires, Edd gets visibly more anxious. He can't get his eyes off of Nazz -believing a romantic connection has grown between them these past few years. When the last bell rings, Edd hurries himself to his locker to collect the flowers, and holds them behind his back as he waits for Nazz to show up. Instead, Marie Kanker approaches from behind to pinch him in the ass and collect what she believes should be hers. Edd asks to have them back, to which she says to think about it if he Frenches her.
Edd misinterprets what she means, and after a short sigh, starts rambling in flawless French. Everyone in the hallway watches the spectacle in silence. Marie, eyes still wide, gives back the flowers and power-walks away into the girls bathroom.
Just in time, Nazz shows up. Kevin is walking next to her and they're in deep conversation, making it difficult for Edd to get in between them. He doesn't move from his original spot and patiently waits his turn.
The longer he has to watch them, the more it becomes obvious Nazz is doing everything in her power to get compliments out of Kevin, give compliments, find excuses to touch him, and have him touch her back. His heart becomes heavy with the realization he's fooled himself. While Kevin's platonic indifference made him believe there was nothing going on between them, Nazz was still hoping. Not just hoping, she worked to make it happen, yet Kevin continued to ignore the embarrassingly obvious signs.
Nazz and Kevin walk off, Edd still standing there with the flowers behind his back. Ed and Eddy show up to half-heartedly comfort him. Edd can't find any words after the crushing let-down and embarrasment, so just slumps his body and heads for the exit. Ed and Eddy shrug at each other and follow behind.
As they arrive at the cul-de-sac, Edd dumps his bouquet of flowers with a passing Sarah. Jimmy calls the way older boy a pig, but predictably, Sarah is ecstatic. He disappears inside his house. Ed and Eddy stop just outside, guessing he really convinced himself Nazz was in love with him.
Ed advises they should let him be sad and come back tomorrow. Eddy, whose finger is already touching Edd's doorbell, turns around.
The next morning, they're waiting for him again. He shows up on time, inciting Eddy to remark he expected him to be tardy in his self-pit. Edd replies he could never, as that would upset his parents. Ed asks if he's feeling better then, but Edd's face answers the question for him. Eddy tells him not to fret over it, as he and Nazz are way too different and there are plenty of 3's out there who're a better match.
Back at the school lockers, his eyes again drift over at Nazz, trying to get Kevin's attention. Though Kevin is nice to her, he keeps ruining whatever sweet moment Nazz sets up for them, and it's hard to say if he's doing it on purpose or is that unfortunately stupid. When Kevin walks away after another failed flirting attempt, Nazz' face warps into something Edd can very much relate to.
Rolf happened to witness it as well, looks at Edd, then shakes his head at the idiocy of it all. Seeing an ally in him, Edd walks over to discuss. He asks for how long Nazz has been attempting to get his attention and Rolf replies it's been like this for as long he's known them. Edd remarks to have never noticed, to which he clarifies Nazz usually tries to shoot her shot when no one's watching and her habit of being nice to everybody isn't helping. Edd agrees.
Edd hesitates, but decides to ask Rolf if Nazz ever said anything about him. Rolf says not to remember. A crushing revelation, considering their many private hangouts. He tells him not to take it personally and there are lots of 3's out there waiting for him. Edd mumbles why everyone assumes he can only get 3's. Rolf smiles he lacks muscle and hair on his ankles, making him an inferior man.
Edd isn't exactly in a state of mind that can handle mental abuse, so thanks him for the insight and turns around to join his friends, but sees they've left to class without him. Rolf is then suddenly leaned over next to him, and in proper English, whispers he can interrogate Nazz as thanks for teaching him English (See: "We Don't Need No Ed-ucation"). Edd says to not even know what he wants to know at this point, as it's already become clear Nazz has no affection for him. Rolf replies she may not be in love with him and his "0% fat 0% sugar breadcrumb body", but it might make him feel better if he knew she too valued their time together. Rolf walks off, leaving Edd with his misery and thoughts.
Regardless of his pain or Nazz' feelings for him, her sadness eats at him as much as his own. He can't concentrate throughout the day, or the next, or the next; with his newfound hypervigilance revealing a new side to Nazz and Kevin's relationship, one he nor others ever picked up on before. Nazz was on a desperate chase, but Kevin was harder to figure out.
In the canteen, he shares his findings with his disinterested friends. He mentions the instances Kevin chased her, yet as Nazz never took these seriously, he wonders if she knows what a serious Kevin looks and sounds like -and this isn't it. He wants to know what they think, but Eddy huffs it's a waste of time to speculate about things they weren't around for and he needs to move on. Ed pushes a piece of fried sponge his way, telling him it'll make him feel better. Edd says to doubt it.
Edd then looks at Rolf, who still hasn't given him any inside information like he said he would. He feels urged to do the investigation himself; his curiosity for Nazz' opinion on both him and Kevin only feeding the anxiety he's dealt with since her indirect rejection.
When back at home and doing his homework, the bubble and radar charts he's tasked to draw keep reminding him of Nazz. Unfortunately, Kevin starts joining her side, leading Edd to rub his chin in frustration. While doing so and looking at the abstract shape of what seems to be Kevin's head, his expression slowly changes.
The rubbing is now more like he's sizing himself up. Edd then turns serious and mutters to himself Eddy is stupid and his chin not that big. Nevertheless, a plan is developing, and he looks at his closet. He walks over to open it, but the clothes inside are all predictably neat, or at the very least, recognizably his.
He starts digging under his mattress, where an envelope with cash is hidden with the words "world trip". He gets out a few bills, groans to himself he needs to stop wasting it on these sidequests of his, then hurries outside to do some last minute shopping.
The next day, Edd is looking at his purchase inside his locker, then closes it when Ed and Eddy show up. The day transpires like normal, though Edd can't walk home with them and says to have somewhere else to be. They don't question it and continue their conversation as he leaves.
Nazz and Kevin are also preparing themselves to leave, with her trying to invite him to come over to her place, but Kevin gives the unsurprising news he's grounded and will be expected home. Nazz teases him about it, but shows understanding and says to see him tomorrow. Nevertheless, Kevin shows up at her house anyway. Nazz is surprised and asks if his parents won't come after him, to which he confidently -yet with slight worry in his tone- proclaims to do what he wants. Nazz chuckles and lets him in.
Nazz asks if he has time for a movie or would rather ride his scooter again, after which he asks if she likes the latter. Nazz is caught off-guard by the question, never before asked. She blushes in her nervousness and says not to mind, as long it's with him. Kevin releases a mischievous smirk and urges her to be real with him, whereafter she admits to get rather scared when he does his tricks with her on the back seat. Kevin yelps she should've said something, she replies she did, whereafter he tells her she should've spoken up louder, since he can't hear her over the engine of his scooter. Nazz laughs at the joke and promises she'll scream in fear louder next time.
They head over to the couch and Nazz turns on the TV, stuck on a peculiar channel. The host of the show looks very familiar, prompting Kevin to complain about "the dorks" again hacking their TV sets. Nazz' face turns stern and she reprimands him not to call the Eds that anymore. Kevin responds aloof, but she's insistent and urges him to remember the good times they've had with them -money schemes included.
He asks if she liked getting robbed out of her money, to which Nazz smiles it was relatively little cash for a whole lot of entertainment. An even more aloof Kevin complains why she's always hanging out with him then, not them. Nazz pats his leg and replies he's her first friend, and your first is irreplaceable. Kevin smirks that hardly explains anything.
Nazz looks down, then back at him with eyes full of yearning, yet the words don't come. Kevin picks up on it and asks if she's feeling okey. She then admits she always wanted things between them to go back to normal and talking to Edd these past few years inspired her to not drag her feet at aqcuiring her wants and finally give it an honest shot. She looks him deep in the eyes and asks if he knows what she means. Kevin is sweating bullets, making Nazz guess he does. She smiles kindly at him.
Kevin turns his head away and mutters he's not being insensitive on purpose, but he's a slow learner and will likely hurt her feelings again. She replies to accept his shortcomings, as long as he doesn't pretend they don't exist and talks to her. Kevin moves back his head and returns a soft smile, saying to follow Edd's advice as well and try a bit harder at being a better person. Nazz remarks she didn't mention him saying that, to which Kevin clarifies it's what he once said to him.
Nazz turns on a movie -a chick flick Kevin is surprisingly invested in- then without any warning, she leans against his shoulder. For the rest of the movie, he's petrified on the spot.
When it's over, he proclaims he needs to hurry back home and Nazz wishes him good luck with his probably angered parents. He tells her good night and closes the front door.
Kevin looks around the cul-de-sac, completely empty at this hour, then starts moving again. He hurries over to Edd's house, where he's suddenly stopped by Rolf. He nearly jumps a hole in the sky as he hears his voice, especially since he's being wrongly addressed. Or really, rightly.
Rolf tells him to have asked Nazz and she said to like his old hat better. With that, he waves him goodbye and heads home.
With a puzzled expression, Kevin takes off his hat, revealing it was Edd all along.
Ep ?
I'll Make An Ed Out Of You
- "Eddy thinks the well-behaved, prudish Edd doesn't act like how a teenager should act and wants to give him a reeducation."
The Eds and some of the other kids are sitting in class. A demotivated Eddy stares at Edd, taking nearly an hour neatly putting down his school items, then finally, picks up his pen to rush through his assignment. Though he only has 60 seconds left, he's calm and finishes it in time. Upon bringing his notebook to the off-screen teacher, their hand grabs it to read it over, then pets him on the head in approval. Edd beams in response. Eddy looks disgusted.
When the bell rings and everyone gets up to leave for the next class, Ed also shows up with a notebook, filled with objective nonsense, but he's wearing his glasses, so the teacher decides to humor it and ponders the deeper meaning of it.
In art class, two optional models are sitting in the center of the room for the rest to draw; a well-groomed Nazz and a vase of flowers with an unintended caterpillar chewing away at it. Ed is drawing some kind of horrifying beast that doesn't resemble anything present in the room. Eddy takes a look and smirks that's a nice picture of his mom. Eddy himself painted an oversexualized version of Nazz, but it's not drawn well enough to offend anybody.
The two then look over to Edd's easel. He's drawing an accurate atanomy diagram of the caterpillar that's already destroyed half of the flowers. Eddy reminds him there's a cute chick for him to draw, but Edd shushes him, saying he needs to concentrate and his father will want to know if he paid attention last week. Ed asks what he means by that, whereafter he clarifies his bedtime story that night was about the inner workings of larva. Ed and Eddy look at each other in surprise. Eddy asks if his parents still read him stories, to which Edd replies he lets them if he's in a good mood.
It's odd language Eddy wishes to press him further on, but Edd appears done talking and decides to show off his work to Nazz with the inexplicable expectation she'll be impressed, but instead, the image disgusts her and she throws up. Marie Kanker, drawing a picture of all her enemies getting shot dead with some surprising cameos, releases a joyous cackle in the background.
Edd continues to be on his best behaviour throughout the day. Holding doors open for people, long enough that he can't find a moment to stop and nearly misses his next class, offering his food to people who claim to have forgotten, leaving him without, and smiling whole way through.
Later that day, Ed and Eddy are trying to sell self-made energy drinks in the hallway to passersby, though Edd ruins their groove by asking if the drink is FDA-approved or even does what's being promised. Eddy insists it does, as the bottles contain the leftovers from their En-O-Gee Drink business, which evidentally energized him back then.
Edd yelps that was 5 years ago and wants him to discard the bottles for everyone's safety, but Ed rebuts he's seen bottles of wine in his cupboards that're over 20 years old and Eddy calls Edd an idiot and says sugar doesn't expire. It's one of those instances where there's no convincing them, so he passively folds his arms with a look of concern on his face.
Rolf and Kevin then show up. Rolf, often tired, is eager to try their product, but Kevin wisely declines and moves on without him. Rolf takes a sip, then turns into a statue. His peculiar death intrigues Ed, who wants to touch, but Eddy quite casually suggests him not to, as that'll leave behind evidence.
Edd aborts his silence and asks him to stop the regressive behaviour and give Rolf medical attention. Eddy replies they're just fooling around, despite the deceased Rolf not looking like he's in on the game. Edd calls his and Ed's games ghastly and states it's time they grew up. It's one of Eddy's least favourite string of words and he fires back Edd needs to act more his age. Edd asks what he means by that and is pointed to his overly good behaviour at school and in his personal life, with Eddy arguing one's teenage years are to experiment with how awful you can be.
Edd replies he's enjoying his teenage years just fine and doesn't need to hurt others to have fun. Eddy smirks it never stopped him from hanging out with him and Ed all the time, so he must have an evil streak. Edd denies his interpretation of their friendship -while he's already attached a stomach pump to Rolf and is trying to remove the poison.
Eddy callously bumps against Rolf's heart rate monitor upon positioning himself in front of Edd, asking if he's forever going to be a teacher's pet and stick-in-the-mud. Edd replies to have accepted and done many things that would upset his parents, but basic kindness is something he could never abandon.
Eddy maintains that's no way for a teenager to act and he has the right to lash out and be annoying. Annoying in another way. Ed smiles it'd be funny to see, motivating Eddy to keep persisting. He grabs a cigarette from his pocket and stuffs it in Edd's mouth, telling him to smoke up. Edd responds in shock and discards the cigarette onto the floor as quickly as possible, just to get out a plastic bag and pick it back up and discard in a nearby trash can like it's dog excrement. Eddy tells him he owes him money for that.
Ed sees this as his turn and gets out what looks to be an adult magazine from under his shirt, with a picture of a woman in a tight bodysuit doing a bone-breakingly flexible pose on the cover. Eddy cheers Ed on for having it, but the fact Edd opens it up makes it clear it's not what he thinks. Eddy walks over to check out the contents and is greeted by pictures of ballet performers and articles interviewing them. He asks Ed why he has this, but Ed just smiles as bullets of sweat start dropping down.
After Edd finishes the magazine, Eddy asks if he's feeling mischievous or angsty at all, but to ask was a waste of time.
Eddy is determined to have a good laugh, though, and picks up both Ed and Edd off the ground to take them elsewhere. Edd shrieks they have more classes today, but Eddy yells back they're skipping school.
He drops them in front of the candy store. Ed feels nostalgic and proclaims it's been a while. Eddy gets to the point and tells Edd to lean against the window and look menacing. He asks what's the point, to which Eddy explains that lingering around a property that isn't yours and making people too uncomfortable to want to enter is peak teenage conduct. Ed shivers and agrees.
It sounds like harmless tomfoolery he doesn't think will work, so Edd leans against the glass. The fiddling with his thumbs don't do it for Eddy, who insists he takes on a more threatening stance. He grabs and reassembles his limbs, pleasing Eddy a bit more. But, since it's a school day, no hungry children are out on the street to intimidate. Ed suggests they pretend to be the children, so Edd can practise being mean.
Ed and Eddy walk to the other side of the street and discuss what persona to take on. As they come walking, Edd says nothing and allows the two to head inside. Eddy immediately jumps out again and scolds Edd for missing his cue. Edd asks what he's supposed to do, since "the children" are bigger than him, so Eddy takes Teddy -apparently a summonable key item at this point- out of his pocket and tells him to pretend it's a knife. The ferret immediately bites Edd's hand and refuses to let go, but Eddy is not in the mood for Edd's death screams and slaps him silent with the demand to get his act together. A teary-eyed Edd wraps his painful hand around the still attached Teddy -his knife for this bit. Ed pets him and then Teddy on the head, and before joining Eddy on the street, advices him to think of the most uncomfortable person he knows and mimic them.
Ed and Eddy repeat their prior steps, but before they can enter the store this time, Edd points his "knife" at them and purrs they're looking nice. Eddy is proper confused, while Ed glows red and turns his gaze away from the handsome, bold delinquent.
Later, the Eds are at the trailer park. Many washing lines with unattended clothes are strung up around the place and Eddy looks like he's got business with them. He instructs Edd to go to town and find himself a pair of girl's underwear. Edd tries hard to keep his volume down upon hearing the foul request, so to get him to move, Eddy assures he only needs to show him and may return them afterwards.
While walking around the place, Edd curses his lack of a spine, until he finally sees something that grabs his attention. As he comes closer, the underwear starts to look familiar. He takes a peek inside the rim and sees a tag with his name on it. He looks around with a disturbed expression and sees he's standing at the back of the Kankers' trailer.
Upon his return, Eddy is given what is clearly Edd's underwear and he makes sure to know. Edd mutters a girl has worn it, making it girl's underwear now, and shuffles off in disbelief for Marie's audacity.
Back at the cul-de-sac, Edd is standing in front of a nice-looking car parked near Jimmy's house, then given a bat by Eddy. He refuses the weapon and grumbles not to be doing anything that'll give him jail time.
Eddy then looks at Ed with a smile forming on his face. He deviously asks if he'd tell on Ed and let him go to jail if he were to do it for him. Edd becomes nervous and an answer isn't quick to come. Eddy asks again, pulling Ed closer. Edd pleads with the both of them not to think about it, but with a swift motion, the bat is thrown at Ed, who instantly bashes the car in half with it.
The three Eds flee the scene, with Edd reprimanding his friends for their crime. Eddy cheers it's his crime too, since he's covering for them. The exitable Ed bashes two more cars on the way, giving Edd a galaxy-sized heart attack every time. He grabs the bat from him to throw away, but it hits another innocent vehicle. Edd shrieks and turns around to suction out the dent using random objects lying around to make this device with, but the front door of a nearby house opens, sending him into a panic and running off again.
The still moving Ed and Eddy pat their returned accomplice on the back with approval, Edd shouting back at them not wanting to be touched.
At the junkyard, three heads pop out from behind a trash hill. They turn around and sit down on the ground. Ed laments not having found the van to hide in. Eddy swiftly replies to the idiot they took it and it's sitting in his garage.
Edd wants to yell at them some more for the trouble they caused, but Ed is curious to know if he feels better now. He replies he wasn't feeling bad, until they started hitting cars with bats. Eddy corrects it was one bat, then gets up and concludes a life of teenage crime might not be for him, but there are other things that'll help him build character. Edd responds confused; not knowing what the purpose of them doing this is anymore. Ed smiles it's to make a man out of him. Edd mutters his XY chromosomes do most of the work in that department and he has no interest in following a misinformed example of what people expect male youth act like.
Edd starts walking off, but Eddy is determined and hurriedly reminds him Nazz likes bad boys, not momma's boys. He stops, doubt forming on his face, until he concludes Nazz won't like him regardless and there's no point in using her to change his mind, since he's already moved on. Eddy smirks if he isn't curious to find out and starts listing all the things he does every day, which just aren't cool. Edd suddenly looks hurt and asks why he wants to change him.
He's surprised by the sudden mood flip, and with no good answer ready, excuses himself by saying they were just joking around. Edd leaves.
Eddy looks at Ed, trying to get his support, but he looks hurt too. Ed asks if they were trying to change him. Eddy replies he just wanted to make him loosen up a little, as they won't be young forever and adults aren't allowed to make mistakes.
Ed thinks to himself, then remarks Edd likes the way he is, so maybe there's no problem to fix. Eddy comes up with a different argument and asks him if he wouldn't like to see a "cooler Double D", to which Ed replies he'd be a different, but not so much "cooler".
Having exhausted their conversation and feeling guilty for going overboard with it, they head over to Edd's house to talk, but halfway through, figure it's more like him to go back to school. They show up late in the classroom and sit down next to him. They both put a hand on his shoulder and give him a grin. Edd carefully returns a smile, then gets back to work.
On his back, two notes are placed, asking anyone who reads it to kick or slap him on the ass.
On Ed and Eddy's back also sit a note, politely asking anyone who reads it to present them a piece of brocolli.
Ep ?
Forgive and Forg-Ed
- "Why did Eddy and Kevin's friendship after the Big Picture Show not last?"
The episode starts with a shot of the cul-de-sac. It's early in the morning, but a 12 year old Eddy is already up and outside. With eagerness, he heads over to his neighbour's house. After fistbumping an unseen person, he goes inside and the door closes. Then, silence.
The scenery changes to one of the classrooms in Peach Creek high school. An 18 year old Kevin is reading a history book. He's not enjoying himself, but it's necessary; his grades for history have always been the worst. The walls of text are interrupted with the occasional illustration of characters in war, which Kevin thinks look all too familiar.
In the corner of the room, he sees Nazz and Rolf casually chatting it up with the Eds. When they join him again, he complains not to understand why they're still humoring them. Rolf and Nazz look at each other as if they know what time it is, but Rolf isn't planning on sticking around and quickly announces to have farm work waiting for him.
Nazz argues relationships are a give and take; and you have to accept people's flaws. Kevin looks like he's about to blow up and wants to criticize her overly generous take, but Nazz has already fled. When he looks up, everyone seems to have. Kevin hisses to himself as he turns back to his boring textbook.
As he heads back home and approaches his bedroom door, voices can be heard inside. It sounds like a younger version of Eddy and himself, having fun. Though, one of them appears to be phoning it in. Kevin opens the door and enters an empty room.
He looks at a row of sports balls sitting on a shelf, pondering if he should play a quick match before dinner time. He grabs one, whereafter the scene swiftly changes to a young Eddy holding a dodgeball, who throws it at Kevin's unsuspecting face. It hits, causing him to fall onto the pavement, next to his already immobilized friends, Ed and Edd. Eddy laughs in his victory, and the scene changes back to current day Kevin lying on his bed, not having played after all.
At the dinner table, Kevin talks to his off-screen parents about how his day went, though not with motivation. A woman's hand wants to rub his arm in comfort, but Kevin shoos her away with a classic "ew no". A man's hand takes his bowl of custard dessert away as punishment. Kevin mean-mugs the camera in response.
Back in his room, he turns off the light and shuffles towards bed. But all of the sudden, the Eds are occupying it. They're again younger than they currently are, and while Edd insists they give the bed to their rightful owner, Eddy replies floors affect his good looks and speaks with confidence their new friend won't mind.
Kevin pulls up the sheets, showing the bed empty for the taking.
The next day at school, Kevin is having lunch with Nazz in the canteen. Meanwhile, the Eds set up some kind of business in one of the corners of the room, called "Dollars for Dibs", which promotes itself as a service that claims and holds onto seats or food items for its customers. Of course, it's a scam. They've already claimed all of the most popular items and intend to give them away for a high price, or really, to the highest bidder. "They're betraying the trust of their customers, after all, so it's only fair they too will be compensated for the trouble". With no one questioning if these customers even exist, the Eds get a pretty penny out of it.
Kevin can't watch it go on for long and gets up to play the bad guy again. Nazz grabs his arm and asks him to ignore it, but her lax stance on the unreformable con artists angers him even more.
He pulls his limb away from her and growls why she keeps doing it. His outburst makes her uncomfortable, but she maintains they're not really hurting anyone. Kevin barks they're thieves, to which Nazz sighs it's just cake and sandwiches. He insists they'll one day start doing this with more important matters if it's not nipped in the butt. Nazz says to doubt it and wants to refer to conversations she's had with Edd, but Kevin interrupts her. He scoffs at the idea he's a reliable source, since he does nothing to keep Ed and Eddy in check, nor cares to end his friendship with them. Nazz turns serious and remarks that, sometimes, you've known a person for too long to just walk away when it doesn't feel like improvement is coming fast enough. Kevin huffs it wasn't difficult for him, to which she retorts he and the Eds might've known each other a long time, but were never on friendly terms, so there's no emotional attachment.
While Kevin wants to break up the Eds' party, it was not his intention to start a fight with Nazz and he decides to dial it down. She actually is his friend, after all. He drops back down onto his chair and starts unwrapping his lunch.
Nazz thanks him for turning a blind eye and closes things off saying it's only their business if they make it their business. Kevin says nothing, but his foul stare and refusal to make eye contact speaks for itself. He angrily chews away at his food. With some hesitance, she adds the Eds are sweet people. Kevins tells her to shut up.
She's still not done, though, and reveals Eddy always spoke fondly of him when they were still friends. Kevin hits the table with balled fists and belches Eddy is his brother. Everyone in the room looks up in response to the sudden racket. Nazz nervously looks at the corner where the Eds were stationed, but luckily, they already packed up after a rare day of success and were probably having lunch at a better establishment.
Nazz whispers at him to watch out next time, but Kevin starts to rant about how they were stupid to befriend someone because they felt sorry for him -as if that changes Eddy' personality or makes right the things he's done in the past. Nazz clarifies it's not because they felt sorry, but because Eddy admitted to be wrong. Kevin doesn't care for this alternate interpretation, as it still doesn't change his last two arguements. Eddy is vain, loud, money-obsessed, and a prankster, not because his brother told him to be, but because that brings him joy.
Nazz asks if they've never talked about this before ending the relationship, to which Kevin replies there was no talking to him, nor an official end to anything. He stopped asking him to come over less frequently, and eventually, not at all. She thinks that's where the problem lies, but he opposes the real problem lies in everyone still trying to make things work with Eddy and his hangers-on.
Kevin then grabs his sandwich with an angry fist and gets up, leaving Nazz by herself. Jonny walks over to ask if they broke up and he can be her boyfriend now.
Some time later, Kevin is again doing his history homework in an abandoned classroom. His conversation with Nazz riled him up and he's too fidgety to concentrate. He's looking at the same images from last time, their angry faces spawning his and Eddy's voice, bickering with each other.
His daydreaming is interrupted by Ed, who enters the room looking for a person Kevin eventually learns is a slice of cheese. Ed then suddenly has an epiphany and walks over to Kevin. He flips a single page of the textbook lying on his table, revealing the cheese. Kevin nearly throws up over the sudden stench filling the place, and gags why it's in his book. Ed explains history helps it fall asleep, just like "his dad", meaning himself. He wants to thank Kevin for keeping it save, but he's already standing at the exit, setting the textbook on fire and dumping it in a paper bin.
Ed figures he's in a bad mood, whether or not he's the reason, and wishes to make right by offering him some leftovers from lunch. He follows him to ask if he's interested in a muffin and pulls an unprotected specimen from his Hellhole of a pocket. Kevin turns around with the demand not to follow him and reminds him they're not friends. This surprises Ed, who asks since when.
Kevin is baffled. Flabbergasted, even. He barks since Eddy started treating him like one of his many dumb lackeys. Ed doesn't know what he means, forcing him to list Eddy's many moments of misconduct.
Ed admits he has a wild sense of humor, but promises he has never said anything bad about him for the duration they were friends, proving he truly wanted him as one. Keving groans he's heard that one before, but doesn't believe it and calls Eddy's sense of humor the kind of mental and physical abuse only an Ed could downplay.
Ed falls silent. He seems hurt, though it's unsure if he's insulted by the remark or sad to discover Kevin doesn't see him as a friend. Kevin shows a slight moment of remorse, but stands his ground and closes off he's just not an Ed. He turns around and walks down the hallway.
Ed hold up his cheese and looks at it. An unfamiliar voice that's not his own is suddenly starts to speak, reassuring him the two of them are friends. Ed continues to look at it, unfazed, whereafter he turns his attention to a corner in the background and gives the person behind it his thanks. Ed then walks off.
The scene changes to Eddy, hunched down behind said corner. He smiles mischievously, but this expession doesn't last and slowly changes. He's heard everything, and he doesn't know whether to be angered, saddened, or who to blame for it.

Ed Always Said
- "The Kankers wonder if not following their mother's advice will win the hearts of their boyfriends."
It's a normal, uneventful weekend in the cul-de-sac. Everyone is minding their own business at home, or their respective friends', and the Kankers too are lazing the day away in their trailer.
May is sitting at a mirror, testing out new looks. She's applying make-up to herself using a paint roller, and by the power of cartoon logic, it changes her face, hairdo, and the pair of earrings she's wearing with every use. Marie is sitting upside down on the couch, watching realistic paper fish kiss on television and ignoring Lee, who's making something in the kitchen and cursing out her sisters for not helping out while audibly heavy things keep getting dropped.
The paper fish start to get a bit more serious. Marie grins it's quite the risque scene for this movie series, peaking May's interest. She asks what she's watching, to which she says not to look, as she's not an adult yet.
Lee catches wind of the conversation and hurries to the living room with a rolling pin in hand. She smacks the upside down Marie through the floor, shouting at her not to watch porn with May present. She then turns to May to ask if she's been traumatized, who replies yes, but not because of Marie's porn.
Marie comes climbing out the Marie-shaped hole and argues she merely rented this movie to get some pointers on how to swoon her man. Lee looks at the screen and replies those fish are actors who've been paid to like each other. May interjects that men follow their eyes first and tummy second, like their mother always says, meaning they'll have to brush up if they want their love. Lee replies that's not the right quote and it's feet first. Marie insists she told her "boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew".
All three sisters fall silent.
May asks if their mother is perhaps crazy, but Lee doesn't want to hear that kind of talk and thinks it's more likely they're remembering things wrong. Marie's eyes wander to their ship in a bottle on the wall, prompting the remark their mother has lied before; with the ship she told them was a centuries-old heirloom being made by a company that didn't exist before 1900. Lee folds her arms contemplatively. May shrugs she might not be doing it on purpose, but Marie snarls there's no way she didn't see that logo at the bottom. May fires back by asking what's the point of lying, to which Marie argues it's to make them feel better about themselves without having to put effort in making them better.
Lee snatches Marie and May's lips shut in her hands. She orders them not to talk like this about their mother, reminding them of what she's been through and had to do to give them food and a home. Marie pushes her off of her and urges her to admit their mother's advice never led them to anything good. Since she loves handing out advice on a daily basis, May asks what they can do about it. When she offhandedly answers her own question by suggesting to do the opposite of what she says, Lee and Marie perk up and look at each other.
They exit the trailer to look for the Eds. On the way, May asks what the plan is, to which Marie snaps it's to do what she just said. Lee clarifies they'll have to do the opposite of how they usually act, and whatever "mom quote" enters their head at any given point, has to be treated as false.
When they see Ed and Edd walking the street, Lee urges May and Marie to act. May isn't sure how to implement her own idea on the spot, whereafter Marie grabs a handful of dirt and slams it in her face. She shrieks upon this sudden sabotage. Marie says she's now the opposite of a desperate try-hard, but Lee jokes not to see a difference. May roars in her rage and rips a tree out of the soil to smack her sisters with, but then is distracted by Ed and Edd, who picked up on the commotion and have her in their sights. They carefully stare at her, wondering what she's here for.
May looks at the empty space where her sisters once stood, then awkwardly pushes the tree back in the soil. Upside down. She greets Ed, but he's already not feeling it and continues his walk with Edd. Lee and Marie's head pop out of the bushes behind her to tell her to get moving.
May hurries behind them, thinking of what to say, to then do the opposite of that. It's not an easy task. She decides to trade the usual nickname for Ed with "stupid", shocking both Eds, who stop and turn around with big eyes. Having his attention, she thinks the verbal abuse is working and keeps it going. A sea of uninterrupted criticism follows. Eventually, Edd whispers to Ed if Eddy has been teaching her, but he's not given much time to ponder about it when a hand grabs him by the scruff of his shirt and pulls him away from the scene.
He's placed on a bed. His bed, taken from his bedroom, now standing in the middle of the cul-de-sac. Marie, wearing Edd's mother's clothes, tells him not to succumb to confusion for the sake of his school grades and rest. As she tucks him in, Edd asks why she's raided his mother's closet, to which Marie replies she had to, as his mother is the only woman he loves. May barks Edd is a pervert, but Ed proclaims the statement isn't true, as he loves Nazz.
It's a comment that tests Marie's acting skills. She tucks Edd in so hard, he becomes trapped, whereafter she picks up the bed and walks off with him. Edd asks Ed not to allow her to kidnap him "again", but Ed says he's busy getting verbally abused and tells him goodbye.
Eddy then shows up, holding an untouched crêpe in a paper wrapping. He passes by Edd and Marie, who he greets, whereafter he stands next to Ed and asks what the deal is with May. Ed has no idea. Eddy murmurs if the yellow tidal wave of hate has a pebble in her shoe, but Ed's attention has already shifted to Eddy's colourful crêpe. He asks where he's got it from. Eddy replies there's a candy van driving around that sells them, and his mother bought one without his consent. Ed replies candy vans always inspire non-consensual behaviour. Eddy says to tell him about it.
The crêpe is decorated with whipped cream and figures only a toddler would like, even so, Eddy admits he thinks it's too pretty to eat. May reminds him he's fat and he could skip a meal. Eddy is dumbstruck by the unprovoked response and stares at her accordingly.
With Eddy now present, Lee finally shows up to make her move. She places a hand on Eddy's shoulder and announces to be feeling timid and willing to listen to his problems in life. Eddy tells her to suck an egg and leaves with Ed.
May positions herself next to Lee with her hands on her hips, calling his response rude. Despite the set-back, they agree to follow the boys and try again.
They find them at the playground, occupying a random contraption and getting yelled at by Sarah for being too old and fat. Eddy is still holding the crêpe and his weight is indeed too heavy for his seat of choice, but he doesn't care about the altitude he's gradually losing.
Lee and May inspect the scene before barging in. May rightly concludes Ed doesn't appear happy getting yelled at by his sister and thinks about adjusting her own approach, while Lee sees Sarah's yelling annoys Eddy, yet, he enjoys annoying her back, giving her inspiration as well. They look at each other and ask if their mother ever said anything about what they're going to try, but assume to be on the right track.
Lee walks over and kicks Sarah off-screen, Jimmy hasting after her in a panic. Without skipping a beat, she lowers her head and invites Eddy to make fun of her, if that makes him feel better. Eddy is quiet for a while, but can't resist the opportunity and lets it rip. She couldn't have given him a better gift.
May's plan completely changed and she just stares at Ed with bulging eyes. Ed is uncomfortable and asks what she wants, but she doesn't say a word. It lasts an eternity, feeding a form of anxiety within Ed that'd be more appropriate for Edd. Her unblinking eyes are like hands squeezing his head and the noise of Eddy's comedy roasting session becomes muffled. It catches Eddy's attention, though, who pushes May. He barks they're too smart for their Gorgon tricks, and once again, the two Eds depart.
May bemoans her failure, assured she was giving him her best googly eyes, while Lee reprimands her for ruining her attempt. May fires back she wasn't going anywhere with it by letting Eddy vent.
They run into the direction the Eds went and eventually find them in Ed's backyard. There're next to the little pond, with Ed clumsily hammering what looks like the start of a wishing well around it, while Eddy does nothing. And is still holding that same crêpe. Though the contraption is hideous and Ed suggests finding Edd, Eddy talks over him and sounds already eager to start his "Eddy's Wishful Thinking Well" scam.
May remarks to think it looks rustic and she can't wait for Ed to build them their house. Lee tells her to get glasses or a brain, and walks over. But then, both she and May step into an hidden trap and are pulled away by a rope, then catapulted away. Lee yells they're blasting off, followed by a "meow" from May, a star-shaped glint forming as they dissapear into the sky.
Ed and Eddy watched it all happen, with Eddy looking apathetic to the brutal disposal of the girls, while Ed is confused, if not surprised. When they lower their gazes, they suddenly see Jimmy standing in the grass, looking at the sky as well. Ed cheerfully greets him, intercepted by Eddy stepping on his head to run over and advertise his wishing well. Jimmy turns around, tells him to suck an egg, then leaves. Silence follows. Ed then comments Jimmy is the result of his own actions, to which Eddy replies to regret it every day.
Meanwhile, at an unknown location, Lee and May climb out of a single Marie-shaped hole -curiously- and lament their consistent failure. Lee suggests they collect Marie and get back to the drawing board.
In Edd's kitchen, Lee and May come walking in like they own the place and find Marie washing already washed dishes at the sink, while Edd is drying them off. He looks happy. Lee declares it's a bust and orders her to come along. Marie looks at Edd, who asks her if they're not going to finish. Marie winks she'll help him finish another time. Edd senses there's an inuendo present in those words, but is unsure.
Back at the Kankers' trailer, Lee praises their efforts in the sense the Eds stuck around longer than usual, but doesn't see it leading to a real romance. Marie -still wearing Edd's mother's clothes- thinks Edd would've dropped his pants after a few more plates, but Lee believes he was seeing a convenient, fellow house slave in her, not a girlfriend. Marie shrugs a little slavery never hurt no one.
May comes back from the bathroom, saying that one-upping Ed in the unwashed department was not her intention and there has to be a way that doesn't involve them changing themselves for their boyfriends. Marie calls that rich coming from her.
Lee thinks to herself, then asks if they should mimic people the Eds like. Upon asking who each respective Ed likes, they all reply with Nazz. Marie concludes they have to kill Nazz. Lee replies not yet.
May smiles she's got the blond hair down and can probably copy her hairstyle. Marie makes it clear that acting like Nazz isn't something she wants to do or can imagine to keep up for long, but is then interrupted by the sound of knocking on their door. The three open up and see it's Edd, holding a plate in his hand and asking Marie for assistence, as he's spotted a discolouration. The Kankers peer at the perfectly white plate.
Lee turns to her sisters and casually notes how people tend to forget Edd is the most unhinged Ed, and Marie smiles she can't wait to make it worse.
They slam the door on this fool and return to the living room, as Lee proclaimes they can't deal with any Eds right now for as long they don't have a plan. Immediately afterwards, though, knocking is again heard. This time it's Eddy, still holding that same crêpe. He's not eager to be there, but musters telling Lee not to feel right about his response after she tried to be nice, knowing he'd want people to give him the benefit of the doubt if he tried to make a change. Now, of course, it's not said with the same coherent language and the Kankers grow tired of hearing him trying to explain himself.
Eddy gives up as well and decides to offer his crêpe as an apology gift, but the door is slammed in his face as well. May wonders what he was trying to do, but Lee repeats they're not ready for it anyway.
While Lee drags over their fridge to the living room to function as their whiteboard, using magnets and a thick marker she only realizes afterwards is permanent, May looks out of the window. Marie asks what she's daydreaming about and tells her to pay attention, to which she replies she's waiting for Ed to show up now; since the other two did. But he never comes.
On the "whiteboard", a series of the most heard quotes relevant to men and dating are written down and examined by Lee and Marie. It's all gibberish that's hard to flip around, like "A dollar and a dime don't make a man fine" or "An onion a day keeps you single forever". Marie acknowledges it as gibberish, but Lee thinks there is a meaning behind it. May diverts her attention back to them ans seems to know exactly what everything means.
They brainstorm until late in the evening and conclude they need to date broke losers and act like degenerates. Marie asks how this is different from the usual.
It isn't. The end.

No Ed Gets Left Behind
- "Edd loses his plant, Al, and forces his friends to go look for him."
Edd is hard at work cleaning up his room, though it really doesn't look to be in need of it. He throughoughly washes and polished every item and uses construction tools to confirm every wall is still straight and unchipped. While he's vacuuming for the third time, a large spider comes walking from under his bed. Upon seeing it, he gets a jar and scoops it up like an excited kid, telling it to give it a nice new home later.
When he revisits the corner next to his door, the space looks oddly empty this time. He realizes something to be off and doesn't move, yet needs a while. He then drops the vacuum and drops onto his knees, feeling around on the floor as if the missing object could possibly be invisible. He looks around the room to see if he's misplaced it, but it isn't anywhere. He screams out for Al, his plant.
Meanwhile, Ed and Eddy are watching television in Eddy's room. There're snacks everywhere, it's quite the mess, but they're enjoying themselves by commenting on what's happening on screen. When Eddy isn't getting an answer back quick enough, he looks over to Ed and suddenly sees Edd looking into his forcefully opened mouth. He asks what he's doing, to which Edd replies to have lost Al and wanted to make sure Ed didn't eat him. Ed attempts to proclaim his innocense, but Edd notes him on all the food packaging everywhere and suspects he's been sleepwalking again. Eddy says these are recent consumptions and Ed has gotten better at not eating his vegetables, even when unconscious. Ed takes pride in that fact. Edd growls it's no guarantee and poor Jim still hasn't forgotten.
He pulls a stack of missing posters out of nowhere and pushes them in Ed and Eddy's hands, urging them to help him look while he calls the police. Gone as fast as he showed up, Eddy murmurs what's the big deal, as Al is a plant and plants are objects. Ed thinks to himself and then looks at the TV, asking Eddy if he'd be upset if it went missing. Eddy answers he would, whereafter Ed smiles it's maybe like that.
Eddy grumbles to himself, but since he finds some logic in that, gives in and decides to hand out the flyers.
He and Ed walk around the neighbourhood. Ed picks a tree and decorates it with a thick layer of Al wallpaper, while Eddy picks any opportunity to rid himself of his stack of papers; and chooses people's faces, trash cans, sticks, and sewer drains. No long afterwards, Jonny shows up, saying to have seen "his stick". He asks who Al is and not to recall Edd having a boyfriend, to which Ed explains Al is a bush. Jonny blushes and replies he won't judge. Eddy, who initially wanted to shoo Jonny, suddenly has an idea and asks if he's able to hear Al. Jonny act confused by the assumption, whereafter Eddy clarifies he's a weirdo who talks to unliving things. The choice of words sparks Ed's interest, who asks if Jonny's a vampire whisperer.
Eddy wisely ignores him and continues to clarify plants are objects, so he should be able to help. Jonny corrects plants are alive. Eddy looks truly shocked by that information and nervously looks around, asking if they've been able to hear him this entire time.
Edd then shows up. He stops to look at the wrapped-up tree and randomly placed flyers around the place, but after some silence, decides not to fight it and thanks his friends. Eddy asks if he's not found his stupid background prop yet, to which Edd laments Al has seemingly disappeared off the face of the Earth.
Jonny has an uneasy, contemplative look, as if he wants to say something, but doesn't really want to join in on a conversation about mouthless, non-human friends. For Edd's sake, he decides to anyway; and shares the seemingly cryptic message that jealously is a crazy emotion, whereafter he says his goobye and walks off. Ed concludes Jonny is weird. Eddy feels tempted, but refrains from giving that comment an expected response.
Eddy places his heavy hand on Edd's shoulders, sounding a concerning crack, and tells him to forget about it for now, as he has a new idea for a business. A small smirk forms on Edd's face, noting him on the interesting choice of calling scams "businesses" now. Eddy smiles scams are businesses and businesses are scams, and pats him so hard on the back afterwards, Edd crashlands onto the pavement. Eddy then turns to Ed with the instruction to show off their idea.
Ed takes a step to the side and gestures at the tree he just defiled. Edd is confused, so Eddy clarifies it's called "The Allpaper Company". Edd remains confused. Eddy thinks he doesn't get the wordplay and explains it's "all" and "wallpaper" together. Edd asks a very simple and reasonable "but why?". Eddy falls silent in surprise, then says it's because there are many ugly and boring things in the world, for example, everyone who isn't him.
Edd tells his friends they may go ahead, but he has to find Al first. He walks off, but after a short while of him being off-screen, Eddy stretches his arm to drag him back into frame, proclaiming it's "Ed, Edd n Eddy", not "Ed and Eddy". He carries Edd upside down in his arm and instructs Ed to follow him.
Inside someone's garden, apparently a client's, the Eds are wrapping up every item and blade of grass with a decorative piece of paper. Edd carries a bored expression, but does what is expected of him and uses a ruler to ensure everything is as straight as it could be. Then suddenly, he sees a potted plant in the garden and heads over with careful eagerness it could be Al. He inspects it, and though it looks alot like it, it's plastic and an impostor. Edd drops the pot and shouts "betrayal", causing Ed and Eddy to turn around. He wants to sprint away again in his sadness, but Eddy merely has to call out Ed's name, who sticks out his leg, causing Edd to trip as he passes him.
Eddy approaches the faceplanted Edd with the request not to get so worked up over it and their business should have their priority. Edd sobs he'll never be able to sleep again without Al guarding his bedroom door, to which he asks if he uses all his plants as burglary-protection tools. Edd says yes.
Ed reminds them of the strange comment Jonny made and wonders if he knows more, but Eddy doesn't want to give Edd's plant any more attention today and urges everyone to get back to work.

An Ed, An Ed, My Kingdom For An Ed
- "Everyone has a distinctive problem only one of the Eds can help them with, but they're not anywhere to be found."
Sarah and Jimmy are hanging out in Sarah's room. Jimmy is drawing, while Sarah is doing homework. She glances over to him, his art style not really having improved in all these years, but an almost motherly smile appears on her face anyway.
Jimmy then walks over to hand her a drawing, claimed to be specially made for her. She recognizes it's one of her favourite toys. Back when she was 8. Regardless, she thanks him for the gift. Jimmy immediately announces to make her another and walks back to his crayons.
Sarah turns back to her work as well, but the next set of questions appear to be real brain beaters. She decides to ask Jimmy, but when he comes over to check, he remarks this isn't what their teacher gave them and asks why she's doing school work for older kids. Sarah becomes antsy, then states it's important to always stay ahead of everybody, if not avoid ending up like her brother. Jimmy visible skepticism causes him to lose Sarah's attention, who tells him not to worry about it and dismisses him.
Jimmy walks back, his sad face unacknowledged by her.
Outside her window, she thinks to hear Eddy's voice, which reminds her Edd might be the best person to help her. She walks over to her window to see what they're doing, but just sees Kevin instead, apparently having done a bad impression and being disapprovingly looked at by Nazz.
Considering it's an after hours school day, she mutters to herself Edd's probably at home. She blushes upon the mere thought of doing homework at his house, though is awakened from her daydream by Jimmy, asking what she said. Sarah won't say and just tells him she'll be back as he heads out.
Standing at his front door, she quickly fixes up her clothes, grooms herself, then rings the doorbell. Her smile is disturbingly wide, her excitement oozing from her pores, but, no one's coming. She rings again and waits again, but every time she does, she becomes more aggressive, until she starts to curse Edd out.
She finally accepts he isn't home, so hurries over to Eddy's house, where no one opens the door for her childish rage, either.
Suddenly, Rolf comes running and knocking on the door. Sarah growls Eddy isn't home, after which he asks if her brother is. He looks like he's having a meltdown and Sarah needs a moment to digest his presence, but then replies Ed's out as well.
Rolf starts ranting about how he needs heavyweight workers to pulp barrels with some kind of rock-like fruit she can't begin to repeat the name of, lest he gets the donkey whip. Sarah says child abuse is illegal, to which Rolf sobs he's the abusable age of 19 and the visiting "town elder Hollu" demands pulp. Sarah smirks she hopes he's prepared himself to be the pulp. Rolf says he has.
Sarah isn't one to care for other people's problems and Rolf's life is too confusing for her, so she wishes him good luck and walks off to look for Edd elsewhere.
Rolf grabs his hair and tries to assure himself his parents might forgive him for not having this special dinner ready in time -complaining it was too short notice- but this particular guest he's very familiar with and there's no soothing his stress. Figuring it's not all about weight, but also strength, his desperation takes him to the trailer park. He nervously stands in front of the Kanker sister's trailer, but he's not given the chance to knock, as all three girls come running out, unknowingly trapping him under their dislodged door.
They stop at Edd's house and Marie knocks, though they settle on breaking in when it's not opened fast enough for them. After a while, they come back out with May announcing he's not there, and they run to Eddy's house to do the same, kicking over Kevin's scooter parked on the curb on the way. They then arrive at Ed's, but find Jimmy, who struggles to speak upon seeing them instead of Sarah.
The Kankers turn around without having inflicted the usual assault, but Jimmy is nervous without Sarah around -his guard and defender from these kind of things- and he checks if Ed might be home to offer him some protection. But, the house is empty.
As he can still hear the Kankers destroying things outside, he picks up the phone and looks up Edd and Eddy's number in the little notebook hanging next to it. No one's picking up, but Jimmy is frantic and continues calling.
The Kankers exit the cul-de-sac, entertaining the idea their Eds might be downtown, passing by Kevin walking up to Edd's house. Though the door is open, he decides to be polite and used the doorbell, then calls for him from the entrance when nobody's shows up.
He turns around and looks at his scooter standing in the far distance, out of commission at the worst moment possible. He starts walking to Eddy's house, but stops halfway and decides to visit Ed instead. There he finds Jimmy on the phone, whose answers are curt and useless. He decides to leave him be, though not before trying his luck and asking if his dad owns any high grade tools. Jimmy says not to know and Eddy's dad might.
Back outside, he wonders if the Kankers have some stuff lying around to borrow, but he calls it idiotic to even think of asking them for help and looks for Edd elsewhere. As he stomps off, Nazz approaches to tell him his hospitalized grandfather has made it to the restaurant and his parents called her to ask what's taking him. Kevin snarls he found his scooter flat on the ground and an important part he doesn't have just broke.
Nazz suggests he ask Edd, whereafter Kevin mutters something inaudible, urging Nazz to see Edd herself; leading to a retracing of Kevin's steps. She asks Jimmy, Jimmy asks her about Ed or Sarah's whereabouts, but neither have answers.
Jonny then gets a call on his cell phone, which appears to be Jimmy. Jimmy asks if he's outside and seen any of the Eds, but since Jimmy didn't share his name, Jonny wastes his time by remarking how the voice of who he thinks is his usual phone buddy has changed. Jimmy groans it's him. Jonny is curious to know how he got his number and Jimmy replies it was written down in Ed's family's friends and contacts notebook. Jonny is pleasantly surprised Ed's father considers him a friend.
Jimmy's question stays unanswered as Jonny ensnares him in a bland and casual conversation he doesn't have time for.
Sarah shows up and greets Nazz, walking the streets. She asks if she's seen Edd and Nazz replies she's looking for him as well. This shocks her, and she carefully asks what for, but her answer relieves her. Nazz tells her Jimmy was looking for her, then wonders if the Eds are still at school and leaves to check.
Sarah figures Jimmy needs priority and heads back home. Upon seeing her, he hangs up on the still rambling Jonny and runs over to her in a panic. Sarah asks what happened to the door and Jimmy reveals the Kankers just barged in to stare inside his soul, whereafter they left. Sarah can't begin to figure out what that was about, but consoles him anyway. Jimmy accepts the embrace of his love interest with an overly pleased smile. Sarah then concludes his brother might've done something to send them over and wants to find him to give him a lecture. Jimmy is unceremoniously released and abandoned, again.
Whole evening long, people are searching and running around Peach Creek, looking for the Eds. Eventually, the elusive boys come walking, each one holding a sticky hand toy. They look more content with it than someone their age should and start hitting each other with it.
Kevin comes barging towards them in a rage, telling them where they got the nerve. They are rightfully confused. Kevin points at their toys and asks if they're 5, to which Ed corrects they're 3. Eddy tells him to relax and they're just the spoils from the old, forgotten gumball machine at the gas station, but then more people show up demanding an explanation for their absence, creating quite the ruckus at this late hour.
The Kankers too find them and loudly demand their attention. Everyone turns around, whereafter Lee and Marie raise up their shirts. Everyone responds shocked, if not bashful. They announce to have bought bras with the same colour scheme as their respective Ed, purely by happenstance, and express to find it extremely humorous. And that's it, that's their story. May is still clothed and notifies everyone will just have to believe her, as she can't show them since she's underage.
Edd turns to Ed and Eddy to inform he's been traumatized, and Ed says to miss the gas station already. Eddy suggests going back, and they do so, while the neighbourhood again responds offended and insists they come back.

It Isn't Over Till The Fat Ed Sings
- "After trying Rolf's interpretation of a burrito, Nazz gains serious weight. While Kevin helps her out, they talk about a past where they were much closer as friends."
Nazz and Kevin are at Rolf's house for lunch, though as their body language conveys, it's out of some kind of obligation. While they're waiting at the table, Rolf shows up with way too many plates, carrying oddities from his home country, none of them looking like a common lunch item.
Picking up on their hesitance, he informs them to have made something more commonly enjoyed by "the unsalted American masses" and places down a plate of what he claims are burritos. They look beastly and Kevin thinks to get himself out of it by stating to still be full from breakfast, but Nazz wants to set a good example and agrees to try one. She's still a surprisingly quick eater and the thing disappears within seconds, but not without consequences.
She instantly grows in size and becomes morbidly obese, shocking Kevin, though Rolf thinks it's a compliment and says his thanks. Nazz is trying not to cry and wonders if it's an allergic reaction, so Kevin decides to take her to the doctor, leaving Rolf standing. He shouts they can take their time and the food will be better after a few days of simmering in room temperature.
After visiting the doctor's, Nazz and Kevin return to her house, when she closes all the windows. Kevin tells her there's no need and it's not that bad, but she stays silent in her disagreement. He tries to shift the mood and offers to help her burn off the calories, if they're going to be stuck in this house anyway. She says he's free to leave, but Kevin starts pushing furniture out of the way and replies that not to be his style.
Though his words are comforting, they remind Nazz of a different truth and she's unable to fully return his smile.
Hoping to motivate her through it, he starts doing exercises with her. Nazz is grateful, but too quiet for his liking. He remarks she looks exactly like back when they were children, which she agrees to, making that a bad thing. He replies she's too focussed on her appearance and argues she looked fine back then. Nazz starts to feel awkward and blushes. Kevin keeps the conversation going and reminisces about the past, when Rolf had not yet moved in and it was just the two of them. Nazz mutters his bike hadn't moved in yet, either. Kevin doesn't see it as a hostile comment and gives a confirmatory smirk.
Though the day started rocky, Nazz warms up to his stories and shares some of her favourite moments together. Flashbacks of the past portray the friendship they used to have, though the fact it's past tense gradually lowers Nazz' spirits again. At the end of their long training session, she turns to Kevin and asks why they stopped hanging out every day. The question catches him off-guard and he's unsure what to say.
Upon noticing she lost all of her weight, he diverts her attention to that and tells her goodnight.

It's Ed, Edd and Eddy..

Their responses are lacklustre and Jonny won't even lower his phone to look up.
Eddy Creates an Authentic Fast Food Experience
Eddy wishes to prank Kevin and riddles an otherwise normal hamburger with a mountain of laxatives. Edd, of all people, shows up to eat the visibly compromised meal without any warning. The scene ends with Ed and Eddy giving Edd a worrying stare, without any response from Edd.
But Edd Made It
Eddy makes Edd build a giant paper-maché rocket and asks a hefty 25 dollars for anyone who wants a ticket to the moon. Kevin and Nazz show up to check out the ruckus and are caught off-guard by the Eds still doing scams like these at their age.
Kevin is especially skeptical and wants to know what makes them think anyone would pay for this. Eddy huffs the rocket works, as it was made by Edd. Edd concurs. The idiocy of that answer tests Kevin, but Edd and Eddy keep insisting on it.
Kevin pays up and enters the rocket for the sole purpose of proving them wrong. The rocket lifts off. Nazz waves at him as he disappears into the skies, then asks if anyone remembers the details of their history homework for tomorrow.
Thanks, Double Douche
(July 30, 2011)
Eddy is out camping with his grandfather and sends a badly written complaint and request for food to Edd.

Ed notes he too is a child and the fact Edd didn't question it makes him worry he's having a stroke. He and Ed leave for the hospital, while a dressed up Sarah returns to meat who is now Jimmy. He is happy to see her, she less so.
CatfishEd
Edd snuck a letter in Nazz' locker in the hopes he can get her and Kevin to meet in a private setting and connect. When Nazz is seen taking the bait, he tells Kevin she's waiting, but he's unable -or unwilling- to meet with her.

Kevin apologizes and says it all to make him nervous, still. Their conversation ends well, but when Nazz is gone, it's revealed it was Edd dressed up as Kevin.
