E01 Drawn Together

Zeke and Jay are starting to get on the nerves of each other, so they agree to spend some time apart. To ensure they do not come close together, Zeke draws them as opposite charges, not realizing that this only makes them stuck to each other no matter where they go. To make matters worse, Zeke has a skateboarding date with Maxine, and with Jay stuck to him, Zeke has a hard time impressing Maxine. In a moment of frustration, Zeke draws Jay far, far away. Soon, Zeke starts to miss his Jay, unaware that he is only at the local grocery store.

Zeke is tired of the strict cleaning rules of his mother Ida, and draws a "no-cleaning zone" around his house.

E03 A Little Sketchy

Zeke is tired of Rachel always getting her way, and the last straw comes when a family vacation is in order to make way for Rachel's theater audition. Zeke draws himself and Jay inside Rachel's brain, allowing them to control her actions in order to mess up her audition.

E04 Fetch a Sketch

Tired of his pet dog, Chester, always biting him in the rear and just generally being incompetent, Zeke decides to draw his own ideal pet. He creates Sketch, a dinosaur-like hybrid animal that is intelligent and eats normally inedible objects like furniture and fences. Sketch causes chaos throughout the neighborhood, and Zeke and Jay realize that Sketch is just lonely and looking for someone like him. With that in mind, they find Sketch a companion — a platypus. A few months later, they send an egg for Zeke to babysit.

E05 Fast Draw

Zeke draws a robot version of himself to do his chores for him. He then adds some personality to his robot to make it cool (i.e. make it more like him). It comes to the point that it asks Zeke's secret crush, Maxine, out for a date. Zeke becomes jealous and tries to make his robot stop, but it goes on a rampage and frames Zeke for it, causing Zeke to be stuck in detention. With Jay's help, Zeke escapes and lures the robot into a back alley for a classic western style showdown, only to discover, much to his surprise, that the robot also has a magic Pad.

E06 The Art of Cool

Zeke's father, Alvin, whose mannerisms don't strike Zeke as "cool", is an embarrassment in front of Zeke's friends. Zeke draws his father to be "cooler", which turns him into a Bono-esque rock star. But Alvin declares Zeke is no longer cool enough and starts trying to reshape Zeke into his image. Alvin also helps Zeke with his role in the family band. When he finds out that the first performance will be at his very own high school dance, Zeke freaks out and worries that he is not cool enough.

E07 Family Portrait

After continuously being annoyed by his family, Zeke erases himself from a picture, turning him invisible. He uses this ability to scare his parents out of the house, having Jay pose as a paranormal researcher to convince them that the house is haunted. At first, Zeke enjoys his newfound solitude, but a chain of events makes him believe there is a real ghost in the house, forcing him to bring his family back.

E08 Portrait of a Young Artist

When their parents are out, Ike is left in charge of Zeke. After his curfew forces him to miss out on a party, Zeke draws himself older, but he ages rapidly and soon he becomes almost ninety.

E09 Drawing Conclusions

While watching a crime show with the Palmers, Jay notices that Zeke doesn't think logically. In order to prove him wrong, Zeke draws himself as the superhero "Zeke Streak", assigning himself the duty of finding Ida's missing personal digital assistant, which she uses to organize her chores. When his methods fail and other precious items disappear, Zeke instead becomes "Zeke of Fury", turning himself and his family into ninjas. Thanks to his calm, peaceful demeanor, he discovers that Chester is the thief.

E10 Gender Render

Zeke attempts to ask Maxine out for a dance, but she is unhappy as one of the members of her relay race team just left. Zeke asks to volunteer, but he can't as the team is girls-only. He (accidentally) draws himself as a girl named Zee, but he has a difficult time adjusting. Maxine later invites Zee to a sleepover, and the two platonically bond over shared interests. They get up early to train and Zee manages to join the relay race with Maxine. As a result, Zeke turns back into a boy and joins Maxine at the dance, but he still fails to dance with her.

E11 King Of The Pad

Frustrated over being grounded, Zeke draws himself as the king of his town. He passes absurd laws and punishes Ike from criticizing them.

He strips everyone of the ability to lie, but this backfires when a mob forms in front of his house and demands his ousting.

March 6, 2009

E12 Unstill Life

A local art gallery is hosting a contest for young artists, but the submissions have to be sculptures. Because of his bad sculpting skills, Zeke uses his Pad to create a replica of The Joseph, a lost statue purportedly created by Michelangelo. However, the statue comes to life, so Zeke and Jay have to catch him and freeze him with a calcite solution to enter him into the contest. However, the credit for The Joseph goes to a janitor who discovered it, so Zeke has to enter his sloppy sculpture instead.

E13 Drawn Out Holiday

Zeke doesn't want to return to school after the summer holidays, so he draws a calendar where every day is a random holiday. This causes his family to have extravagant celebrations day after day, which tires him. On the other hand, the normally studious Jay becomes a carefree party freak, and even steals the Pad to prevent Zeke from returning things to normal. In a fight to get it back, Zeke accidentally breaks the Pad, so he has to win Jay back to get in fixed. He successfully ends the celebrations, only to create endless school days in its place.

E14 Brush With Love

Zeke notices several unrelated incidents that make him believe his parents' marriage is falling apart. He summons Dr. Bill, a popular TV psychologist, to rectify the situation, but his advice only strains their relationship further. Zeke then draws himself as Cupid to try and get his parents back together, but his poorly-aimed arrows only make things worse. Worried that his parents will cancel a dinner date that Maxine will also attend, Zeke confesses the truth, and the date continues.

E15 Wherefore Art Thou

Zeke wishes to audition for a musical adaptation of Romeo and Juliet that Maxine will be starring in. To prepare, he draws himself with the perfect singing voice, but this causes him to sing whenever he talks. When that becomes annoying, he instead creates magical dance shoes that make him an amazing dancer, which he can control via the Pad. However, the Pad gets a virus, and he starts dancing out of control. He crashes the performance and Jay—who is a fan of Shakespeare himself—is cast in his place.

It is Ida's birthday and Zeke is struggling to come up with the perfect gift for her. He eventually settles on a robotic vacuum cleaner, but it goes rogue and destroys everything in its path.

E17 Sketch Comedy

Zeke and Maxine are paired for a science presentation about the environment. They think about adding humor to catch the listeners' attention, but Zeke worries that no one will find him funny, so he uses the Pad to make people laugh at his jokes. However, everyone laughs at everything he says, so he decides to make people take him seriously. When he blurts out "save the squirrels" as an example of how to care for the environment, people take notes and try to demolish a house to save the squirrels' habitat. In the end, he gives his abilities to Jay, who reminds everybody that squirrels aren't endangered.

At school, he scares everyone, and when he is accidentally spilled with paint, he gets mistaken for a monster. Zeke later realizes the error of his ways and returns to his normal size.

To help his family survive, Zeke must use what he learned in science class—in the form of drawings on his Pad.

In an effort to learn more about his family tree, Zeke draws a picture of his ancestors, sending them forward in time.

Zeke and his family are chosen to compete on Brain vs. Brawn, a game show that involves trivia questions and obstacle courses. Zeke decides to draw his family as a team to help them win against the Smartlys, a family of geniuses. However, they are too obsessed with cheerleading to study and they lose the trivia round. For the obstacle round, Zeke strips his family of their team spirit, only to turn them into mindless zombies who do only what Zeke tells them to.

Zeke wants to live on his own, so he convinces his parents to live in the garage. He turns it into a teen hangout full of the things he likes, and soon everyone in town—including his family—joins in on the fun.

He is forced to dig under his house in order to enter the garage, but this causes the house to collapse.
