Annoying Orange: Pairing is Caring is an episode that was released on November 2nd 2018. Pear, the protagonist of this episode, meets someone online called Pairing. He thinks she's a pear when she's actually a knife. Pear, then has to spend a date with her as Orange and Passion simultaneously have a date.

Plot
Pear dresses up in a suit, asking Passion if it looks OK. Passion say it's fine, but Orange says he looks like Ms. Pac-Man. Pear tells him that he wants to look fly, but Orange irritates him again by misinterpreting what he said and advising him to just 'wing it'. Passion explains that he wants to have a good appearance for the double date. Orange, once again, misinterprets what one of the two says by thinking that Pear is dating two ladies. Pear tells Orange that he and Orange as well as Pear himself and his date are going together on a double date. Orange then retaliates, embarrassed, by denying that they're in love and identifies that there is a literal double date nearby. Pear justifies that they were indeed having a double date and he points out that they even talked about this.

There's a flashback, including Pear, Passion and Orange with a pile of TNT sticks and crates. Pear asks Orange if he wants to date Passion. Orange, not paying full attention, says yes as he alphabetizes his TNT collection. The others agree and leave him to be.

Orange, moans about how he wasn't paying attention since he was so busy. Passion groans then tells Pear that she can't wait to meet Pear's date though she isn't sure about who she is. Pear himself doesn't know as he met her online, but judging by her name, Pairing, he probably thinks she's a pear but Orange interrupts him by saying 'knife'. Pear tells him not to be ridiculous but Orange repeats the word and suddenly, a knife separates the two dates nearby. Pear is startled by this. Pairing is actually a knife and subtly flirts with Pear. Pear gulps about the fact that he'll be dating a knife.

The scene moves to the double date. Pairing starts the conversation by noticing how crazy it was that Pear and Paring's name are similar since Pairing is basically 'pear' with an 'ing'. Orange replis by saying it's more like psycho, in which Passion is taken back by his blunt words. Pairing tells him to be quiet because she wants to know more about Pear, or his 'BF' (which stands for 'boyfriend' in this case). Thinking it stood for 'best friend', Orange says that Pear's his best friend. Pairing sarcastically laughs, then tells Orange that 'BF' doesn't stand for 'best friend'. Pear laughs nervously and tells Pairing that she has a 'good sense of humour' however, Orange thinks that Pear was talking to him and says that he doesn't need to be told that he's funny. Passion asks if Pairing has any interests or hobbies but Pairing exclaims happily as she changed her relationship status and uploaded a picture of Pear and herself surrounded by hearts on Foodbook. Nervously, Pear asks if the others agree if she's 'great'. She tells her green fruit date that she'll change his status too after she reads the email from his mum. Pear asks if she hacked into his profile and Orange says she's really sharp (since Pairing is a knife). Pear says it isn't cool, but Pairing shows a bit of her fiery side by asking what he said in an intimidating tone. Pear stutters and Passion explains that she thinks he's saying that there's good sharing as well as bad sharing but Pairing tells Passion to stay out of the situation and that she won't share Pear with anyone. Orange makes a joke which annoys Pear. Pairing asks Pear if Orange is bothering him as she stab the table, startling everyone. Passion quickly suggests that the four should play a game and Pear is with the idea 100%. Pairing, still stuck in the table says that she's skilled in Operation however, Passion wants to play another game. Orange thinks of the game 'Motorboat' (which is simply imitating a motorboat engine by fluttering your lips) and does it followed by Pear, Pairing and finally, Passion. Pairing soon begins to make sparks as she motorboats. This catches fire on Pear's bowtie and he begs them to stop. They stop and Orange makes a joke about ties (because Pear's bowtie was on fire at the point). Pear blows his bowtie to extinguish the fire and Pairing states that she enjoyed the brief activity. Pear says that he had a 'good time' within the game. Orange asks Pear if he's getting hot under the collar (Pear's was nervous from the start of the date). Pairing empathetically says that she feels the same way.

Once again, Orange throws yet another joke by asking that if the two were engaged, would Pairing be Pear's 'fian-slay' (Pairing is a knife). Passion laughs at the joke and admits that it was actually funny. Pairing is eager to marry Pear, thinking they'll have a good time but Pear thinks otherwise and says that it isn't happening. Pairing intimidates Pear again by asking him angrily. Showing his true feelings, Pear tells her clearly that she's a knife while he's a fruit (knives are used for cutting fruit) and they shouldn't marry nor should they hang out and she's also insane. Pairing is taken back by this negatively and says that she's sad about Pear's true thoughts. Pear frantically apologises and advises her to stop crying or she'll rust. Then, Pairing says that when she gets sad, she gets angry and she gets stabby from there. Pear regrets what he says and takes it all back as Pairing shows her full fiery sides and stabs the table. Orange then modifies a song: "Pear and Pairing sitting in a tree, K-N-I-F-I-N-G!". Pearing believes that he's mocking her. "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Midget Apple in a baby carriage. Midget Apple is actually in a baby carraige and alerts the others that there are no brakes. The fruits manage to move out of the way but Pairing, who's stuck in the table for a second time, get dragged along with the baby carriage and dies upon the baby carriage exploding. Orange says he's heard of a fork in the road but never a knife. Confused, Passion asks if the baby carriage actually exploded and Midget Apple replies that it was a long story. Orange jokingly tells him to give them the short version. Pear thanks Midget Apple for saving him from the now deceased Pairing. Midget Apple tells Pear to introduce him to the separated dates nearby as a way to thank him. The episode ends.

Trivia

 * Despite Midget Apple being told a short joke, he never showed any kind annoyance. It sounds like he made a short joke near the end as he puts emphasis on 'little'.
