After the comment gains widespread attention, Jessi decides her friendship with Ali is more important than her attraction and comforts Ali, much to Ali's appreciation.

Andrew, after the tender moment with his dad in the previous episode, adopts a new emotional and altruistic personality and unsuccessfully attempts to persuade the boys to be more in touch with their feelings. After Devon teases Nick about Missy's post, the two fight, leaving Nick with a broken nose and even more resentful toward Jessi.

Lola later releases an online video in which Jay (unaware that Lola was filming) explains a magic trick to her, leaving Jay distraught that he broke the magician's code.

| 50 | 9 | "Sugarbush" | Andres Salaff | Victor Quinaz | November 5, 2021 | |
| The Birch family plus Andrew and Val Bilzerian go on a ski trip to Sugarbush Resort. Leah Birch plans to lose her virginity to Val and does so on the first night of the trip, though she finds the experience awkward and unsatisfying. However, after some words of wisdom from Diane, Elliot, and Bonnie (Leah's Hormone Monster), Leah and Val openly communicate about what arouses them and have increasingly better experiences. Diane and Elliot are mutually uncomfortable about the situation, leading to marital strife, but they eventually communicate and reconcile. Andrew meets a fellow ski novice and the two immediately hit it off. All the while, Nick remains heavily under the influence of his Hate Worm/Hate Snake Walter, and later breaks his leg while attempting to ski down a black diamond slope at night and triggers an avalanche. He is rescued by Judd, but the avalanche interrupts Diane and Elliot's makeup sex, stops Andrew from getting to second base, interrupts Leah and Val mid-coitus, and interrupts Maury's threesome with Connie and Bonnie. Meanwhile, Matthew commits to cleaning up a depressed, magic-less Jay and eventually admits his feelings for Jay, leading to the two making out. | ||||||
| 51 | 10 | "Re-New Year's Eve" | Bryan Francis | Gil Ozeri | November 5, 2021 | |
| Devin and Devon throw a "Re-New Year's Eve" party to celebrate their getting back together and the new year. Nick, his leg still in a cast, blames Walter for ruining his life and fights him, during which both are transported to the Monster World. Andrew and Maury travel to the Monster World to recover Nick. Nick makes his way to the Complaints Department and asks to speak to "whoever is in charge," leading to a meeting with Nick Kroll (co-creator of Big Mouth, Nick's voice actor, and essentially the "grown-up, real-life" him). Kroll tells Nick that "your monsters are you" and that Nick is in charge of his own behavior, as well as reminding Nick of his loving family and friends. Nick and Andrew reunite and express their love for one another, and Walter appears, reborn in his original Love Bug form. Missy continues to be dominated by her Hate Worm/Hate Snake Rochelle and remains in her room, with her fearful parents being repeatedly overwhelmed by her hateful rants. Missy's cousin Quinta later videocalls her and offers an apology for the events of "Thanksgiving," and Missy (with the help of her Hormone Monster Mona) begins to escape Rochelle's grip. Jessi ponders Missy's recent actions and reflects on her own recent dismissive attitude toward Missy. She later visits Missy and offers an apology, which Missy accepts despite the protests of Rochelle. Missy then re-embraces her "dorkiness" and re-expresses her love for those around her, including Mona and Rochelle, causing Rochelle to be reborn as a Love Bug. Matthew angrily breaks up with Jay after Jay takes them for a joyride in his car and causes several accidents. Lola experiences deep remorse for her treatment of Jay. At Devin and Devon's party, several apologies are made: Missy apologizes to Ali and Jessi, Nick apologizes to Jessi, and Lola apologizes to Jay. Lola attempts to reignite her relationship with Jay, but Matthew arrives and professes his like for Jay. Jay chooses Matthew, leaving Lola to storm out in tears. Several of the show's monsters watch on as the children celebrate the new year, expressing happiness at the children's various progresses throughout the year. | ||||||
