   Summary

   Zim chooses to follow during one of Dib’s paranormal investigations, unbeknownst to Dib. After escaping, arguing, and barely surviving, the boys find it hard to go back to their old dynamic. Dib is cold and harsh, embracing the change in their dynamic whilst Zim is avoidant and quiet, desperately trying to return to how they were. Gaz and Gir team up to try and get the boys to work things out. Tons of silliness follows.
