At least Jenny's waterproof, huh?
The one with the slumber party.
The Crust Cousins invite Jenny to their sleepover to play pranks and pin the blame on her. However, Skyway Patrol has warned Dr. Wakeman that they will not be tolerating Jenny's recklessness for any longer.
"Pajama Party Prankapalooza" contains examples of:
- Aesop Amnesia: Zigzagged. When the Crust Cousins try to rope Jenny into a trick by inviting her to their sleepover, she's on her guard that they're just trying to hurt her last all the previous times. At first, it looks like it has stuck with Jenny that winning their approval always comes with strings. But after putting up a good show of pretending they want to extend the olive branch, Jenny falls for it once again. It takes overhearing them confess it's all a trick for her to come to her senses once more.
- Bait-and-Switch: When the Crust Cousins try to bait Jenny to pull one last trick with the idea they'll be friends forever. Jenny seems cowed by the idea of such a friendship lasting a lifetime, envisioning the collective girls as old ladies in a retirement home. But then the same Imagine Spot shows Jenny (an ageless robot) perfectly happy and young in their company. So she decides such a friendship wouldn't be so bad and goes along with it.
- Diegetic Soundtrack Usage: Jenny hums her theme song as she opens her locker at the beginning of the episode.
- Exact Eavesdropping: Incidentally, Jenny overhears the Crust Cousins gloating to each other how they tricked Jenny into playing The Scapegoat while they get away with having fun at her expense, all because Jenny meant to announce to them to fasten their seatbelts.
- Laser-Guided Karma: The Crust Cousins and their friends all get a perfect comeuppance for tricking Jenny when they are left stranded in the plane atop Town Hall.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Jenny has one when she hears Britt and Tiff badmouthing her from the plane she's carrying and realizes they were only tricking her into destroying the town.
- Near-Villain Victory: More like "Near Victory Bullies". The Crust Cousins almost had exactly what they wanted: they had the night of their lives watching Jenny pull all sorts of pranks, were in a position where she'd take all the blame at the end of the day, and that was on top of Jenny getting into serious trouble with the Skyway Patrol that could potentially put her out of commission. They almost got it all, but then Jenny overheard their gloating. And instead, the night ends with her having reversed her previous pranks, the Skyway Patrol being none the wiser, and the Crust Cousins and their friends stranded on a plane atop Town Hall, no doubt in a position to get into trouble.
- Slumber Party: What the Crust Cousins are having for the episode. Dr. Wakeman warns Jenny not to attend it on account she is being watched by the Skyway Patrol.
- You Are Grounded!: Despite teaming up with Dr. Wakeman to fix everything before the Skyway Patrol finds out, Jenny is grounded for two weeks for disobeying her and sneaking out of the house to attend the sleepover. Not that Jenny minds, considered that she had just evened the score with the Crust Cousins.
Sister Sledgehammer
Year produced: 2004
Production code: 206b
Original U.S. air date: 1/27/2005
The one with Jenny's sisters... again.
XJs 1-8 come to the rescue when the Cluster captures Jenny and assimilates her.
"Sister Sledgehammer" contains examples of:
- "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: XJ-5 tries to reach a Cluster-assimilated Jenny with an emotional appeal. She gets assimilated for it. It takes XJ-1 throwing up on Jenny's face for her to snap out of it. Once Jenny's back to her senses, she makes quick work of the giant Cluster bot she and her sisters were assimilated into, reducing it back into the Cluster drones that formed it, knocking them all out in one blow so they can't pull that trick again, and forcing Smytus to beat a hasty retreat with them to try another plan later to ensure Jenny joins the Cluster.
