Critter Sitters
Beetlejuice needs some cash to buy Lydia a present so when she gets a job baby-sitting, he follows suit.

Can Lydia keep him from getting thrown to the Sandworms?
The Big Face Off
It's Beetlejuice and Lydia versus the reigning King and Queen of Gross on a popular Neitherworld TV show. Do our heroes have any chance of winning the big gross-off with Beetlejuice feeling below par?
Skeletons in the Closet
The skeletons in Beetlejuice's closet have accumulated so much over the years that the closet finally bursts. The skeletons drift astray, telling people the truths Beetlejuice had always hidden from them.
A Dandy Handy Man
Lydia is getting ready for the big photo show, but she can't decide which of her pictures is the best. Beetlejuice loves all of her work, and decides he wants to buy whichever photo she picks--but he doesn't have any money.

But his Neitherworld tools won't stand for being used.
Out of My Mind
Beetlejuice and Lydia have a fight, and Lydia banishes the ghost to the Neitherworld. Beetlejuice foolishly makes the comment that he can't get Lydia out of his mind, and accidentally teleports her there. Lydia meets up with Beetlejuice's wimpy Will Power and overbearing Prank Factor--can she convince Will to stand up to Prankenstein? And how will she ever get out of Beetlejuice's head?
Stage Fright
Miss Shannon's school is putting on Romeo and Juliet, and Lydia tries out for the part of Juliet. But Clare wants it too and sabotages Lydia's audition. For revenge, Lydia becomes the costume designer and designs a costume she knows Clare will hate-but Beetlejuice's got other plans for revenge.
Spooky Tree
Lydia's favourite tree, Spooky, is slated to be cut down so the road can be widened. Beetlejuice, in a fit of generosity, grants Spooky with the gift of locomotion, allowing the tree to run rampant through the town. Finally, kind-hearted Spooky is replanted somewhere he can be really happy.
