I remembered the scene of #1 but could not remember which episode it was from. I initially thought it was Basics Pt. 2. State of Flux introduced us to the infamous leola root.
I couldn’t place the inflation clue, so thanks for telling us what it was.
#8, this episode also referred to at least two other old sayings, one about “pulling wool over my eyes” and “misery loves company” although those phrasings were used, and not a revision.
As for the soup, I thought the reference was to Paris ranting about tomato soup, or to one of the several references of plomeek soup. I forgot about the mushroom soup in this episode.
Since I don’t post on this forum often, I will pass the honor of choosing an episode to Oddish, since they were the first to post after the answer was revealed. If Oddish doesn’t want to take a turn maybe Farscape One can select someone. Thanks!
