Sometime during his first day at Santiva Prep, Basil met Kevin, a student from France. After losing a bet, Kevin became Basil's personal assistant for the semester. Basil later meets his first roommate, Levi. Basil converts Room 309 into his "man cave" which includes a kiddie pool in the center of the room. Basil's personal assistant, Kevin, instantly takes a disliking to Levi, refusing to give Levi one of his crepes. Basil is witness to a feud between Lizzie and Harry in the dorm room after Harry accidentally spills soda on Lizzie's mimi suitcase, which culminates when Lizzie steps on one of Basil's plastic bricks. Later in the episode, Basil meets a cardboard cutout in the lunch room and declares it his homecoming date. Julian, who is hiding behind another cardboard cutout, then introduces himself to Basil and Levi. In art class, Basil eats a fun dough croissant.

In The Walking Preps: Time Gone Bye, Basil attends a party celebrating The Walking Dead. He explains his zombie-protection poncho to Levi and tells Jimmy-Bob that he is convinced that a kid he met at the dentist was a zombie or had 'the rabies'. Basil later slips on spilled punch and gets a concussion. He wakes up sometime later to discover that the world has been overrun by zombies. He encounters a now-zombified Jimmy-Bob and makes his way to Room 309, where he gathers supplies. Basil realizes that Mr. Moose (first introduced in his dream sequence in The Backscratcher), has disappeared and vows to find him. The episode ends with Basil planning to use cupcakes to escape Room 309.

In Others, Basil tosses cupcakes to distract the zombies outside of Room 309, allowing him to escape outside with the help of his selfie-stick improvised weapon. Basil becomes trapped in a van, but receives a radio message with instructions from Tristan Guamahava on how to escape. After uniting with Guamahava, they flee from the zombies surrounding the van and climb to a porch. After their escape, Guamahava introduces Basil to Chip Skipson, who explains their plan to reach the CVC.

In Screams from Far, Basil, Guamahava, and Chip hear Kate's screams and team up with her in the school store.

After leaving the barn, they are unknowingly trailed by agents, who report back to their superiors in a helicopter.

In Star Preps: The Plaid Awakens, Basil is a robot named B-3PO. He is first seen with R2-CleanU (Kevin inside of a trashcan) aboard Buffy's spaceship when it is captured by Darth Sithious' forces.

Basil is kidnapped by Agatha under orders from agents from the CVC, being thrown into their van and taken to the facility.
