"Timberly Loves Arnold": Gerald's little sister, Timberly develops a crush on Arnold after he sticks up for her and lets her hang out with them. Arnold is embarrassed at first, but when he finds out that Lila considers this admirable of him, Arnold is content to keep his mouth shut and let the charade continue.
"Eugene, Eugene!": Eugene gets the lead role in the 4th grade production of "Eugene, Eugene", but the embitttered director, Mr. Leichliter, removes all signs of hope from the script, having changed the ending himself to reflect real life (it is apparent he was influenced by his own past relationship with a woman). Meanwhile, Lila gets the role of the leading lady in the play and with Arnold playing the villain pursuing her, Helga attempts to sabotage her during the play.
Note: This is the final episode where Spencer Klein and Sam Gifaldi voice Arnold and Sid before the first film officially began production. Alex D. Linz and Sam's younger brother, Taylor Gifaldi, voiced their respective characters from the last two episodes from the fifth season starting with "April Fool's Day" until "The Journal" which were the last two episodes made for the series.

"Ghost Bride": Gerald tells the story of the Ghost Bride, Cynthia Snell and how she brutally murdered her fiancé after he left her waiting at the altar and married her sister, who she also murdered. When the police came to the scene, she was still there, sitting in a rocking chair, in her wedding gown, tossing rice on the bodies as she hummed the Wedding March and before they could arrest her she jumps out of the second-story window and killed herself instantly. She also happens to be buried in the cemetery near the gang's neighborhood and supposedly comes back from the dead every anniversary of the murder. Arnold, Gerald, Eugene, Harold, Sid and Stinky are scared twice by Helga and Curly, each pretending to be the Ghost Bride (Helga because she wanted to get back at the boys for not letting her come with them because she was a girl and Curly because he was jealous he didn't get to tell the story). As punishment, the kids tie up Curly in the crypt, where at the end, he hears the real Cynthia Snell, although it's possible that he was only hallucinating.
"Gerald vs. Jamie O": Gerald gets jealous because he thinks Jamie O. is trying to steal the girl he likes, when, actually, the girl likes Jamie O, and using Gerald to get close to him.
