| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2017|09|01|df=}}
| ShortSummary = Thomas has just dyed his hair purple and as a result the Sanders Sides have developed purple hair too, so they pop up to show their opinion. Logan hates it, while Roman and Patton love it. But Virgil is afraid that standing up like that will make Thomas look like "the odd one out". Roman soon identifies that Virgil's fear is because Virgil has been the "odd one out" in the group after so many rejections, so Thomas decides to use the Hogwarts Houses from the [[Harry Potter]] books to sort the Sanders Sides and find out where Virgil fits in, so that he feels more included and more a valuable part of the group.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Soy5mOEXA2Q |title=Fitting In (Hogwarts Houses) |date=September 1, 2017 |access-date=December 31, 2017}}</ref>

| Title = Moving On Part 1: Exploring Nostalgia
| WrittenBy = Thomas Sanders & Joan Stokes
| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2017|10|03|df=}}
| ShortSummary = Thomas is feeling really sad. He's once again remembering ''[[Guys and Dolls]]'', which means he's remembering his first love, his former boyfriend with whom he broke up many months ago already. Logan has the idea that exploring nostalgic memories might help him gain confidence in himself and in the future, so they all move to Patton's room, which is filled with items of Thomas' past: old childhood toys, books he studied, props from plays he was part of, notebooks and diaries from his adolescence. While checking them out, Virgil starts suddenly feeling bad, on the verge of having a panick attack. Logan notices this and tells the others they must get out of the room quickly, because for "habitual worriers" like Thomas, exploring nostalgia has adverse effects: it makes them feel that the past pails in comparison to the present and worsens their anxiety. Virgil gets worse, developing a demonic voice, but the other are to hooked the nostalgic memories and don't want to listen to Logan, with Patton even yelling him to shut up. Offended, Logan leaves the room on his own, while Virgil watches him leave with a face of pure terror.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihCqpkPNtNM |title=Moving On Part 1: Exploring Nostalgia |date=October 25, 2017 |access-date=December 31, 2017}}</ref>

| Title = Moving On Part 2: Dealing with a Breakup
| WrittenBy = Thomas Sanders & Joan Stokes
| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2017|10|25|df=}}
| ShortSummary = After Logan's abrupt departure, Thomas realizes that he can't go on like that, torturing himself with the memories of a love that will never come back. But Roman convinces him to try and call his ex-boyfriend, and he does, but Virgil spoils this by yelling with his demonic voice to hang up. Thomas then starts telling the other Sides the story of how he and his ex met on a casting for ''[[Guys and Dolls]]'', how they quickly became friends and started developing deeper feelings. But he also remembers there were times of fear, anger and confusion, and remembers how their love story fell appart. They also find out that, due to Thomas never stopping loving him, Patton, as Thomas' heart, has also retained this pain for himself, and they discover that many times Patton made dad jokes and showed himself over emotional or overly happy, he was in fact hiding this pain from the others. So the other tell him that he mustn't do that and that it is ok feeling sad some times. So they all reach the conclusion that, even on the probable case that Thomas could never completely forget his ex-boyfriend, he must move on and learn to live with that feeling with hope for the future.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-PMR1TDMQk |title=Moving On Part 2: Dealing with a Breakup |date=October 25, 2017 |access-date=December 31, 2017}}</ref>

But they don't completely agree on the lyrics that Roman has written for them, especially Virgil, whose line doesn't make any sense to him, so he repeatedly refuses to sing it, placing Roman on the verge of a nervous breakdown.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rg2Y_S057M |title=The Sanders Sides 12 Days of Christmas |date=December 24, 2017 |access-date=December 31, 2017}}</ref>
