In "Megadoomer", Red reprimands his partner when he complains that he doesn't like the robot they are sending to Invader Tenn, saying "We didn't build it so you could like it". In "Backseat Drivers From Beyond the Stars", Red takes the situation of the Massive's loss of control by the horns, checking the ship manually for the source of the problem as well as disposing of their ruined power core. Meanwhile, Purple flails around in a panic while eating donuts frantically. In "Hobo 13", Red covers up Purple's numerous slips of the tongue as they try to convince Zim to attend military training, which they hope will destroy him.
