In My Opinion, The Monkees In Paris Is The Episode That’s Most Similar To Head. 

In my opinion, The Monkees in Paris is the episode that’s most similar to Head. 

TW: Suicide

In The Monkees in Paris, Davy, Mike, Peter, and Micky get fed up with the writers and director and leave the set. This is all part of the script. They go to Paris and get chased by obsessive fans. (Side note: I read that this storyline was probably inspired by A Hard Days Night, which makes sense.) This is especially interesting because, usually on the show the Monkees are portrayed as a struggling band that most people haven’t heard of. However, in this episode, they’re immediately recognized in Paris. A group of girls attacked Micky and attempted to rip his clothes off. Later, all four of them fall off the Eiffel Tower and die, but they’re alive and back on the usual set in the next scene. This episode illustrates the illusion of choice that’s often depicted on the show and even more in the movie and their bizarre self-awareness. 

In Head, the Monkees are significantly more famous. Micky, Davy, Peter, and Mike’s presence is either met with enthusiasm (an understatement) or annoyance. After a concert, they get attacked by some fans who rip their clothes off. Their bodies are actually mannequins in this scene. This adds to the theme of them being 'manufactured'. Throughout the movie, they walk off the sets because they don’t like the writing and argue with the director. The movie started with Micky committing suicide by jumping off a bridge, but he was perfectly fine in the next scene. The movie ended with all four of them committing suicide together, but in the next scene, they’re shown alive in a tank on the set. 

I hope some of that makes sense. It's like 2:30 am but I wanted to get that out of my head. No pun intended. Also I think I might've switched up my tenses so bear with me.
