RJG Theory: "Zerk and Stella visit Earth"

So Stella will most likely visit Earth again, since she's friends with Jet and the gang now. And so will Zerk, since he's Jet's cousin and all that.

Zerk is very hyperactive and in-your-face, which would be especially annoying to someone who both has never met him before and so isn't used to his behavior, and is used to doing things by herself.

Also, since Zerk says he wants to be a Bortronaut when he grows up, he would probably idolize the Great Galacto, which might extend to being very interested in all the crazy stunts Stella, Galacto's former number one fan, has pulled.

So what would happen if, say, Zerk visits Earth again, but as soon as he arrives Stella drops in at the last minute, saying her parents are letting her sleep over?

In my opinion, hilarity would ensue. Zerk bombarding Stella with questions about all the "Galacto Challenges" she's done over the years, Stella getting increasingly annoyed and Zerk not picking up on it, Zerk trying to impress Stella with his "knowledge" of Earth that's like 70% wrong, Stella straight-up trying to ditch Zerk, which he thinks is just a game of hide-and-seek, etc, etc

And the whole time Jet and Co. are desperately trying to make them get along

RJG fan theory: Zerk is clingy

In "Whole Lotta Shakin'" and "Back to Bortron 7", it is implied that Zerk is constantly calling Jet. In the latter episode, Zerk complains that Jet never visits. Zerk is also extremely happy to see Jet in the episodes he appears in.

My theory is that, due to Zerk accidentally driving everyone away with his hyperactivity and Jet constantly traveling with his parents, neither of them had many friends on Bortron 7. So Zerk, being the slightly younger cousin, followed his cousin Jet everywhere and copied him at every turn, but Jet didn't mind. In fact, he was proud that his cousin looked up to him. They had lots of good times together.

But then Jet moved away. Jet made new friends, while Zerk felt like he had lost the only one he had. And without someone to look up to, he felt like he had lost part of his identity, too. He coped with this feeling through an unhealthy focus on competition. His bigotry toward Earthies in his earlier appearances was because he saw Earth as the reason his cousin moved so far away.
