List of Sanders Sides episodes

Thomas is feeling quite relaxed, when suddenly Anxiety pops in and ruins his peace. He calls for help on Creativity, who suggests Thomas to retire to a corner of his mind for reinforcements. He does so, and Thomas and Anxiety pop up on Lilly Singh's apartment, where she gives Thomas a few tips to, if not destroying Anxiety completely, at least bring him down enough.[4]

Thomas has fulfilled one of the dreams of his life, appearing on a Disney show. So the Sanders Sides appear to ask him how the experience was.[7]

Thomas has nothing to talk about. He's been procrastinating so much he didn't get anything on time, so Logic decides to discover in a Sherlock outfit, who among the Sanders Sides is the culprit for Thomas' procrastination.[10]

Thomas decides to show a series of drawings about his life, when Anxiety pops up and tells him that's boring because it is a "Draw My Life" and is something that lacks originality. So Creativity pops up and sets "Daydream Mode", where he'll be in full control to brainstorm and try to get to a really completely original idea. But all the ideas they get are versions of things that have already been done.[12]

It's been Thomas' birthday and he is wondering if he's doing what people of his age are or should be doing. Logan and Roman point out that Dad is acting as a slowdown on Thomas' adulthood and he should change his habits, forget everything that Dad provides him and act as a real adult. But the full abandonment of the simple pleasures of life provided by Dad only make him feel unhappy and depressed, so they realize something's wrong with their suggestions.[14]

Thomas talks about how he loves cartoons, and how he would love to be a cartoon. So, he decides to fly to L.A., meet Butch Hartman and ask him to turn him into a cartoon. He reluctantly does and for a minute Thomas and the Sanders Sides become characters of a day in the life of cartoon Thomas.[16]

Thomas and the Sanders Sides appear on Anxiety's room, which looks just like Thomas' apartment decorated as in a Tim Burton movie, with a clock that moves quickly backwards, spider webs everywhere, posters of "A Nightmare before Christmas" and a curtain with drawn spiders, something that scares Patton to death. At first they don't see him, but soon Anxiety pops up startling them all, a moment when Thomas goes back to normal. Anxiety tells them he has decided to quit, as he didn't believe he was wanted, and even though he only intended to protect Thomas, he has understood that he overdoes it and thinks Thomas will be better without him. Thomas and the others try to convince him to come back, as anxiety, even if unpleasant, is necessary for Thomas' life. But soon something strange starts happening to the Sanders Sides, as they start developing the same eye-shadow and progressively become more and more anxious the more time they spend on Anxiety's room.[18]

Thomas has just dyed his hair purple, and the Sanders Sides, who as a result have also developed purple hair, show their opinion about the change. Patton and Roman love it, while Logan hates it and Virgil doesn't know what to say, as he doesn't want to spill too much anxiety on Thomas, since he wants to fit in the group, although he doesn't know how. When Patton has the idea that the purple hair reminds him of Nymphadora Tonks, from "Harry Potter", Thomas has the idea of using the Hogwarts Houses to sort all of the Sanders Sides into different houses based on their personality traits. As Thomas is a long time convinced Hufflepuff guy, the rest analyze themselves to see which house they would fit in, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff or Slytherin, and to try and get Virgil more integrated into the team.[19]

After Logan's abrupt departure, Thomas starts realizing that he cannot keep like that anymore, torturing himself with a love that cannot, and shouldn't, be back, because that wouldn't be fair, nor for him neither for his ex, because he wouldn't be happy with Thomas, just as he wasn't happy in the final times of their relationship. So, even though it's not going to be easy, and knowing that he's still gonna feel pain, maybe for a very long time, Thomas decides it's time to move forward with his life, accept that that love story is over for good, and, even if not healing completely from his pain, at least learn to live with it.[21]

Thomas has forgotten last night to go with Joan to support them to a reading for a stage play Joan had been working on. In the morning, Joan sent him a text reading "where were you last night, F Word Face", and Thomas, who thinks Joan is mad at him, doesn't know how to tell them or if he should tell them the truth at all, that he was on a date with a guy he'd just known while Joan was on their reading. Since Thomas is more inclined to lie to Joan because the truth is too horrible for him to tell them, Roman decides to transport them all to a Mind Palace shaped as a theater where he will assume Joans' form so that Thomas can practice his lying to Joan in the various situations Roman puts in front of Thomas in the form of a play, with Logan as the stage manager, Virgil as the technical operator and Patton as the director. It is revealed at the end that "Deceit" had been disguised as Patton throughout the whole episode in order to encourage Thomas to lie.[23]

Crofter's has partnered with Thomas to release a new fruit-spread inspired on Logan, so naturally Logan, as a Crofter's fan is flipping out about it. Roman, however, feels jealous as he too wants his own flavor of Crofter's. [25]

Thomas had a conversation with a friend some days ago that made him feel iffy. When his friend asked him what he did for a living, he answered he did YouTube. His friend asked a question that Thomas had been asked several times before; what he "really" did for a living, like a "real" job. For some reason, this time it stuck with him. Thomas hasn't stopped feeling bad ever since, and he doesn't even know the reason why. He feels even guiltier because he thinks he should feel blessed for everything his job gives him. The Sides decide to help him work out this issue and discover what's wrong. They think about how Thomas used to learn and discover things in the past, and Patton has the idea that, as a child, Thomas learned new things by playing with puppets or watching puppet shows. So the Sides turn into puppets to help Thomas.[26]

Thomas hasn't had any sleep the whole night, and he's been having the most bizarre intrusive thoughts. Soon he has to face a new Dark Side. The Duke, or as he soon introduces himself, Remus, is Roman's brother and the part of Creativity Thomas constantly tries to suppress. He manifests through intrusive thoughts, like the ones Thomas had last night, and may be proof that, after all, Thomas isn't the angelic person Patton wants him to be.[29]

Note: First appearance of Roman's "brother" Remus, a.k.a., The Duke.

Thomas has just returned from Lee and Mary Lee's wedding. He's resented that the bride and groom didn't seem to care about his presence any more than any other guest's, and he regrets having renounced to the callback to attend the wedding as he thinks in the end the spouses wouldn't have lost anything for his absence, while he lost something important for him. Patton and Roman try to assist him on his doubts about if it's good to be selfish sometimes or if selflessness should be the norm at all times, no matter the cost for his own mental health.[30]

Note: This episode has a special appearance by Leslie Odom Jr.
