Episode 22 | Sidekick | KEEP IT WEIRD

22A. The Show Must Go On - The Academy is putting on a play, and of course Vana gets the lead female part, which motivates Eric to try and get the male lead. After a horrendous audition, Eric miraculously gets the part. He doesn’t know how, until he sees that the director is Drilliam Shakespeare, a villain who Eric had defeated in the past. Eric suspects Drilliam wants revenge and that’s the only reason he got the lead. He tries to convince his friends that Drilliam is up to no good, but they don’t buy it. Eric is placated, until on performance night, Vana gets a mysterious injury and in her place is none other than Drilliam! After a very dramatic and over the top duel, Eric defeats Drilliam who goes into a long and over acted death scene. It turns out that Drilliam is only a part-time supervillain, his real passion is school theatre, and he just wants to make a great play.
22B. Pamplemoose And Son - After noticing an oddly shaped birthmark on Eric, Pamplemoose believes Eric to be his long lost cloned son. Every Pamplemoose has the exact same birthmark. Eric never having had a father before is eager to give it a chance. The two of them awkwardly fumble through making a father/son connection, getting advice and help from Mr. Troublemeyer and Trevor. They start to get the hang of it, and Eric is enjoying having a father, until Pamplemoose takes things too far, and tries to mold Eric into a miniature him. Things spiral out of control until Eric’s birthmark accidentally washes right off. It seems it wasn’t a birthmark at all, Eric just hadn’t showered in a while.
