    The Sheds / Shiny Thing

    "The Sheds" -- Hysteria breaks out at CDMS when Slips comes in with a case of "the sheds" and everyone thinks he’s contagious.

Everyone but Adam is mesmerized by the glistening orb, and it isn’t long before Jake is using it to hypnotize students and faculty into doing his bidding!

    Chew On This / The "A" Word

    "Chew On This" -- Adam’s offhanded complaint about the lack of “human food” in the cafeteria causes a lawsuit-fearing Principal Pixiefrog to replace ALL of the school’s usual foodstuffs (grubs, oats, slop) with pizza, corndogs, hamburgers and other things humans eat. Unfortunately, the animals at CDMS like this new food a little too much, and they quickly grow larger and larger and larger and larger, to the point that they can barely move or fit through doorways. Adam has to find a way to get the entire school on a diet, or risk being smothered by all that fat! / "The 'A' Word" -- After a brush with Bull Sharkowski, Adam describes the bully as "going ape" in front of Jake. His monkey buddy grows very quiet before running off bawling. Thinking that he must’ve insulted Jake, Adam spends the next several days apologizing, but nothing seems to work. Finally, Adam tackles Jake, demanding to know why he won’t accept an apology for the insult. Jake admits that the term isn't an insult (it's actually the ultimate monkey compliment) and that he was just jealous that Adam didn’t use the term to describe him.
