| "Career Day" | Rob Hummel | 2001-05-04 | 6A | |
| It's career day at school and Dib has been paired with a paranormal investigator named "Bill", while Zim goes to work at a fast food restaurant called McMeaty's. However, after discovering Zim is moulting due to a planetary equinox, Dib tries to convince his new mentor to help him expose Zim. The moulting process, while disgusting and explosive, only lasts a few seconds, so it is crucial that "Bill" pays attention. The expert, however, is not interested and Dib must trick him into going to the restaurant. "Bill" is distracted and fails to see Zim moult. After moulting, Zim is fired from McMeaty's. | ||||
| "Battle-Dib" | Jhonen Vasquez & Eric Trueheart | 2001-05-04 | 6B | |
| Dib desires to do a presentation about Zim for a meeting of the Swollen Eyeballs, a secret society which attempts to track down aliens and other such paranormal beings. The society requires that he must have a permission slip signed by his father, Professor Membrane, before he can do this though. Professor Membrane has a television show and Dib must endure various trials (including a Thunderdome) to gain access to his father. Dib fails the trials, but is successful in getting his father's signature. However, he cannot give his presentation as he lost his suitcase during the trail (which contained proof of Zim's alien heritage). This is the first of the three episodes to not feature Zim. | ||||
| "Planet Jackers" | Rob Hummel & Jhonen Vasquez | 2001-08-31 | 7A | |
| Various earthquakes begin on Earth and Zim attempts to find out why. He discovers that the planet is being stolen by two thieves who intend on using the Earth as kindling for their dying sun. After failing to persuade them to leave the planet for his conquest, Zim goes about stealing the planet back and is eventually successful. The citizens of Earth have no idea what was happening (although the "sky" inside of the capturing shell appears to pulse) and the Planet Jackers never realize that they lost the Earth. | ||||
| "Rise of the Zitboy" | Frank Conniff & Roman Dirge | 2001-08-31 | 8A | |
| Zim reacts to being covered in grease by getting a zit. GIR enjoys the Zit very much and draws a little face on it, which Zim fears will make him stick out even more. After the Zit grows he discovers that its motion has hypnotic powers so for a little test he uses it on Gir which hypnotizies him. Zim takes a body from his GEARS/CIRCUTS/HEADLESS BODIES box and attaches it to the zit, which he names Pustilio and passes off as a friend. Zim uses this hypnotic pimple to gain control of the school children, and then forces Dib into revealing a weakness in Zim's base defenses. At that point the pimple grows even further and explodes; Zim then leaves to reinforce his base's defenses to remove the weakness, while Dib is forced to clean up the mess. | ||||
| "Invasion of the Idiot Dog Brain" | Jhonen Vasquez & Rob Hummel | 2001-08-24 | 8B | |
| During maintenance of Zim's underground base, GIR's brain is accidentally put into the house's operating system. Zim cannot control GIR and attempts various methods at getting control of the house back. Eventually GIR decides he wants tacos and burritos, and makes the house morphs into a four-legged walker vaguely resembling a dog. The house, with Zim inside, then travels in full view to the restaurant to collect food. When discovering that he no longer has a mouth to eat the food, GIR lets Zim rectify the situation, much to Zim's distaste. | ||||
| "Bad, Bad Rubber Piggy" | Eric Trueheart | 2001-08-24 | 7B | |
| By using a time portal device, Zim hopes to make a hunter-destroyer machine travel back in time and kill Dib when he is a small child so he can't interfere with his plans in the future. However, Zim discovers that he can't personally travel through time, but he can send objects through the portal, which end up exchanging places with objects in the past: when Zim throws a rubber piggy into the portal the first time, it replaces a tricycle Dib had been riding when he was a small child and in pursuit of an alien, which turned out to be a kiddie bop-bag; as a result, he crashes the piggy (which had replaced the trike) and becomes deformed by the accident. Zim continues to send a series of rubber piggies into the past to harm Dib until he is reduced to a catatonic state. However, this provokes Dib's father into building high-tech cyborg battle armor to protect his accident-prone son. Now the effect is reversed; when Zim sends a rubber piggy back, Dib gets even more badly hurt which makes his father redesign the armor to become even more resilient and dangerous. To stop this entire chain of events from happening, Zim sends a pig back to himself with the message not to use the portal device. Unfortunately, as the piggy must replace an object in the past, the piggy supplants Zim's brain. Zim is now reduced to the mental status of a three-year-old (which raises the question of how he could possibly send the piggy back to replace his brain; see the Grandfather Paradox). | ||||
| "A Room with a Moose" | Jhonen Vasquez & Rob Hummel | 2001-08-17 | 9A | |
| After reminiscing about his mistreatment at the hands of his schoolmates, Zim orchestrates a fake field trip, intending to launch the rest of his class into a wormhole in a spaceship disguised as a schoolbus. The wormhole leads to an alternate dimension which consists entirely of a room occupied by a Moose. How the moose is meant to menace the children is not made explicitly clear, however Zim implies that upon arriving in the alternate dimension, the schoolbus will materialize inside the mooses's mouth, to be eaten whole. After an internal struggle, Dib thwarts Zim's plan by weighing down the right side of the bus, causing it to veer onto an alternate path through the wormhole, a path that leads safely home. | ||||
| "Hamstergeddon" | Eric Trueheart | 2001-08-17 | 9B | |
| Zim's class at school gets a new hamster, and Zim decides that its cuteness can be used as a form of mind control. Zim attaches a device to the hamster which causes it to grow to Godzilla-like size and develop several superpowers, such as the ability to fire a laser beam from its mouth. Unable to control it, Zim instead allows the hamster to rampage throughout the city. But when the hamster heads for Zim's base, Zim uses his alien technology to launch the creature into deep space. This is the second time in the series that Zim inadvertently saves the human race. | ||||
| "Plague of Babies" | Rob Hummel | 2001-09-07 | 10A | |
| Zim fears that he has been seen out of disguise by a human baby. Believing the baby to be a threat to his mission, he attempts to interrogate it, only to discover that it is in fact an extraterrestrial monster that, along with others of its species, has been stranded on Earth since the destruction of its spacecraft years ago. The aliens attempt to steal Zim's ship, but by exposing them to a field that induces stupidity, generated by GIR, Zim is able to incapacitate them and pass them off as human infants once again. | ||||
Season 2: 2009
The second season of Invader Zim began its run in 2002. After the season's first episode the show was canceled and the episodes that had been completed prior to the cancellation were not shown.

| "Backseat Drivers from Beyond the Stars" | Jhonen Vasquez | 2006-06-10 | 21 |
| Zim desires to bring his masters, the Almighty Tallest, to Earth to witness his next plan for world domination involving a brain parasite, so he remotely takes control of the "Massive". However, at the time he takes control, the Tallest are under attack from a resistance group known as "The Resisty" (a name met with breath-taking laughter from the Tallest). Meanwhile, Dib has been attempting to salvage/reverse engineer Tak's spaceship (which he acquired in Tak: the Hideous New Girl) and manages to repair enough of its systems to establish a remote connection of his own to get into Zim's computer and wrestle for control of the Tallest's ship. When the Tallest realize what's going on, they transfer Zim's control over to the Resisty so he brings their ship in and they self-destruct. The Tallest then contact Zim to punish him for what he has done, only to find that he's under attack from the brain parasite. | |||
