During the first episode of the second season, a Maimtron 9000 is sent to the duo's office in an assassination attempt. They return the Maimtron to its sender, the North Pole, and find Santa shooting at anything attempting to come near him. Initially, an antagonist, Santa attacks them out of paranoia, noting the exorcism that is being held. Sam and Max aid in the exorcism, finding that the possessed Red Elf is harboring a monstrosity called the Shambling Corporate Presence and imprisoning it in Jello.
