## Episodes

1. Tricky Trayvon - **After Wicked and Harley's defeat into the Limbo Beyond, things seem back to normal, or as normal it can be, but yet something is amiss in the Dream Team lair once again as Motherboard's old power cube has been snatched and all roads lead to a new threat: Trayvon Ward, the main squeeze of someone from Jared's past: Kyrsten Procyk, his old desk partner in his junior year math class. It's a fight to the fullest as the Imagination Posse work to fend them off in the Kyrsten-World, which all leads to a showdown**
2. The Law of Empathy - **Jared is having a rough day because everyone is vexed about Jared's behaviour, saying he's acting like a spoiled 3-year old (no offence to Baby Bop) and isn't thinking about how others are feeling. This claim comes to bite back at Jared after a spell gone wrong actually turns Jared into a 3-year old and he gets a taste of his own medicine of how people said how he's acting. When his attitude drives the others away, Jared learns his lesson about compassion and thinking about how others feel and he apologizes for his bad attitude. This act of revelation helps reverse the spell, turning Jared back into his 18-year old self, but a much more wiser version of himself**
3. Gender Reveal Jam - **Jared and his pals of the Posse have been called by Zain Spoelein and his girlfriend, Natalia Szass to their gender reveal party and play as the Dream Team Band. Jared graciously accepts with Barney, but there's one problem: he doesn't know what song to headline the place with. Barney then shows him that the songs in your heart are the best songs of all.**
4. Pool Party 2: Kool Kat Crushed! - **This episode is written as a way to delve into Jared's apparent romantic feelings for his friend that has been hinted throughout the series. Maddy Cabral is back in town and Jared is coming over to her house for a swim, but this time it's going to be the two of them from the looks of it. Jared, being the wayward thinker he is, thanks to the D3's teasing, he takes it as a date. Barney calms his nerves, saying that the little dinos are only playing around, knowing how much he misses his Kool Kat and how close they are. It's perfectly okay, even for grown-ups. The purple guy and his Kool Kat friend, Maddy Cabral, reminded him of the very special friendship they have had all throughout high school and for the years beyond, something Jared wouldn't change for anything and Cabral seals this with a kiss to Jared (once again making him blush)**
5. My Purple Friend, Barney - **An episode that truly focuses on the friendship and bond between Jared and Barney and their Brian and Stewie-esque connection. Jared shares a flashback story of one of his first grand adventures with Barney when he was a little younger, when he was turning 12 years old, losing interest and faith in the power of imagination, wondering if he should keep using it as he grows. Count Jared's wondering and cry for help to make his old purple plush dinosaur sparkle and come to life and....enter Barney the Dinosaur to appear and help Jared realize what make-believe and pretend play can do, with the help of BJ, Baby Bop, and Riff, of course. Since then, Jared and Barney became the ambassadors of friendship and imagination to this day**
6. Escape to the Ember - **One night, Jared and his pals go power-jumping, having fun with their powers and seeing what they can do to top each other. Jared decides to use the relic Hades' Ember to up the stakes and he hides it in his old seashell necklace, but little does he know the ember's glow power mixed with the magic dust from the Starlix power causes the magic of the two, plus the full moon's light, to get into the eyes of his friends, causing them to lose it and want the power of the ember for themselves and a chase ensues in the night for the ember from Jared.**

Through this, they both learn to understand each other and their differences in order to beat Wicked and Harley**

They go neck and neck at each other, even with Jared being one of the best dancers in the fleet, Phil isn't so bad.

22. The Sarah Trifecta - **In this adaptation of the Secret Files book of the same name from a couple years back, acting as a little bit of a character study story for Jared's current friendship dynamic with Sarah Jackson and what makes their overall relationship as best friends work as well as a semi-study on how Jared's visions work, Sarah has a new boyfriend named Luke and while Jared is happy for her, his imaginary psychic visions say otherwise and they test Jared's jealousy towards them, and as his emotions bottle up, the visions come around more frequently and provoke him even more, and since Sarah doesn't fully know about Jared's visions yet, Jared can't let Sarah know how he feels yet. On Sarah's side, she enjoys Jared's support for her and she loves the positive light he gives him, but Jared doesn't fully know that too. This leads the two to be more honest with one another, with Jared finally disclosing his imaginary visions and Sarah comforting Jared saying that her love for her boyfriend and her love Jared is equal and there was no need to be jealous. Jared then has a final vision about the friendship between Sarah and him still going on strong, much to their shared delight.**
23. Jared's Big Birthday Blowout!
24. Pools and Patience - **In this sort of rewrite of the third season premiere, summer has started and Jared and Maddy have been talking about setting up a date for a swim at her backyard pool but there's only one caveat, due to the uncertainty of things and Maddy's busy schedule in the month of July, Jared has to wait quite a while before they can plan an actual day for it. Now, Jared isn't the most patient guy around and he can get frustrated when he has to wait for something awesome, especially after he has a vision about the swim date, complete with his brand new swim shorts. With help from his best buddy, Barney, Jared learns the value of being patient with others and even himself and that waiting patiently can be its own reward sometimes**
25. What You Quaran-See Is What You Get - **4 months have gone by ever since the global pandemic of the Coronavirus has risen and Jared is slightly frustrated, among many other things, like while he knows his best friend, Sarah has a full time landscaping job in town and a boyfriend in the UK and fully understands that, as well as dealing with his family during Stage 3 of the pandemic, he has slight stress which he secretly tries to bottle up so he doesn't let anyone know how he is feeling as he is trying to be the heart and leader of the group especially with Barney, the D3 and the rest of the imaginaries. However, the bottled-up emotions Jared keeps in appear to be messing with his powers, especially his visions, now whenever he has one, the picture is extremely blurry and fuzzy and the sound is muffled and even fickle and it even gives him slight headaches and migraines, leading Jared's emotions to boil inside with Jared fighting to keep them inside. Barney advises Jared that he can't hold his feelings in forever, and that everyone is dealing with the Covid crisis and he is no exception to it.**
26. Deadly Seven Disaster (aka The Curse of Pandora's Box) - **Quantum Maximus has returned and has uncovered the legendary Pandora's Box, containing some of the most dangerous evils within: The Deadly Seven Sins!: Pride, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, Greed, and Sloth as revenge for his Prime Star fiasco with the Dream Team and in an attempt to plunge the imaginary worlds in chaos. It's now up to Jared and his friends to collect them all back into the box and seal them up for good. However, these deadly seven have been affecting the leader of the pack (Jared) in more ways than one, being cooped up at home while everyone else is have a ball, as seen on social media, Jared riddled with jealousy and anger that he can't be there with them and he's stuck at home, he's becoming a glutton, searching for happiness in his snacks, not to mention an apparent lust for Maddy Cabral and power to be the best and have fun like everyone else and wrath for any guy who seems to get close to her, mixed with his aforementioned envy (still hurting from the run-in back in November), and is even sometimes even being lazy in trying to transform to help. This soon causes Maddy to want a break from their friendship as well as the rest of the Dream Team, even Barney for a little bit. The Deadly Seven get wind of this and have been feeding on it lately and goes to be rid of his friends for good. After the Dream Team talk it out with Jared after his fight with Maddy, they soon go on a chase and use the week to catch the Deadly Seven one by one. However, this serves as a prelude to the final battle when Jared gets a vision of a giant robot copy of himself at Tinkerputt's old toy factory, riddled with the vices and more. It's a face-off of Jared vs. Jared! Darkness vs. Light! Virtue vs. Vice! Jared is truly put to the test to prove that despite it all, he can be the person God already made him to be and he learns that he shouldn't be mad or jealous if he is always sitting on the sidelines or when things don't go your way and that maybe there's a good reason for things and he should be happy for the life God has given him.**
27. Lust of the Labyrinth - **A month after Deadly Seven Disaster, it is now Halloween 2020 and we catch up on Jared is feeling. While it appears he has been doing better, not his relationship with Maddy, as it is revealed he relapsed and she blocked him, much to his dismay. Monique takes him to Wonder City for trick-or-treating with the others on the Magic School Bus. When they get back home to Motherboard, she sends them to the desolate and deserted Maddy-Phil, making everything come full circle for Jared, personally, to clean up residual magic from Lisa Lust of the Deadly Seven to finish their mission of cleaning up any residual magic from them. They arrive in the zone, and many mysteries lie within, especially one that reveals Queen Madalina rising from the dead in a ghostly form and the very identity of Quantum Maximus. It's an all-out war in Maddy-Phil and a Halloween no one will ever forget!**
28. Escape from Cabral Castle - **In the 2020 Holiday Special and the season finale, Jared gets a vision about a legendary imaginary star that arrives only on Christmas time and grants the greatest Christmas wish of the one who possesses it. Jared, who for the most part has been really doing well from moving on from Maddy as of late, plans to get that star in the hopes of making everything right not just for him, but for everyone. It's a great star chase of epic imaginary proportions as Jared and the Dream Team essentially make a last stand and use and pool all their powers together to get their hands on the star, but better watch out for the Cabrals in the Cabral-Zone as well as Maddy's new prince consort (as a result of Maddy's wish upon the star, albeit with some dangerous consequences) who are more than seethed about the precense of Jared himself around and will stop at nothing to get him away and stop him and his pretend playmates from completing their mission, especially Maddy, who warned him about a restraining order if he doesn't cool off and "grow up", causing Jared to amp up his last stand with his imaginary buddies to save the day. It's a race to retrieve the true meaning of the Hope of Christmas.**
