The Girls are sent to investigate a new Boy Band named Teensicle (of which Clover and Sam are big fans) whose members start dissappering and reappear with slight physical changes days before an important World Unity concert.
Meanwhile, Mandy has gotten herself a new tattoo in her upper arm and launches a party to celebrate it where she invites Sam and Clover, but excludes Alex, saying she has no style, which makes Alex to feel self-conscious and to contemplate to get a tattoo herself.
Tropes:
- Afraid of Needles: When T-Bone shows his face-switching machine which includes needles, Alex comments she doesn't like needles. However, Clover points out that if Alex wants to get a (permanent) tattoo, she'll need to apply it with a needle.Alex: Ew, I hate needles!Clover: Hate needles? Hello!, how do you think tattoos are applied?Alex: I thought they ironed on.
- Be Yourself: Alex decides not to get a tattoo just to fit in and learns to appreciate her own style after T-Bone steals her face to switch with an old female member of his band.
- Broken Pedestal: Alex gets disappointed in her favorite band Boy Candy when its lead singer T-Bone uses his machine to steal Teensicle's faces and hers.
- Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Mandy thought she could lie through her teeth that the tattoo she got was a permanent one to look cool and win over everybody (David included). But during a fight with Alex trying to kick her out of her party, she falls into the pool. The water washes away her tattoo, exposing her as a fraud in front of her guests.
- Celeb Crush: The Boy Band Teensicle is well-liked by many female fans, including Clover and Sam.
- Didn't Think This Through: Boy Candy are so obsessed with taking over the concert from Teensicle that they didn’t even bother to practice. The resulting music sounds so awful, the Russian Premier's reaction is to declare war.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: At the beginning of the episode, the girls take a Power Yoga Chi-Taekwondo class, which is taught by a harsh instructor named Shirley.
- Fangirl:
- Clover and Sam are fangirls of Teensicle and become glad when Jerry gives them the mission of finding their missing bandmate.
- Alex is a fangirl of T-Bone and his old band. That's until she discovers they're the ones responsible of stealing Teensicle's faces and even more hers.
- Foreshadowing:
- Mandy invites everyone to a pool party to unveil her brand new tattoo — a very questionable plan, given you're not supposed to go swimming for 3-4 weeks after getting a new tattoo, so it's no surprise the tattoo turns out to be fake.
- When "Mikey" returns after his mysterious dissaparence, at the next Teensicle concert, he's unable to do the same choreography than the other members, which hints at something wrong with him.
- Formerly Fit: The spies realize something's off when the missing member of Teensicle reappears, but Sam notices he's suddenly sporting a double chin and love handles. Boy Candy might've stolen the younger band's faces, but had to take extra steps afterwards to hide their older, out-of-shape physiques from Teensicle's fans.
- Grand Theft Me: T-Bone and his band Boy Candy switch their faces with Teensicle's band members to impersonate them and become famous again. T-Bone also switches Alex and his older wrinkly female bandmate's faces as well.
- I Just Want to Be Beautiful: T-Bone's older female bandmate wants to have a young face and Alex suggests to her to give her face more treatment, but T-Bone has another idea... by switching his bandmate's face with Alex's, much to her dismay.
- I Just Want to Be Loved: T-Bone steals the faces of Teensicle's members for his own band to become famous again. He even laments this when he's arrested.
- Neglected Skill Atrophy: While Boy Candy manages to pull off the swap, when they actually perform on stage, their music ends up sounding terrible because they spent so much time working on their Evil Plan that they neglected to practice their skills.
- Something Only They Would Say: The girls find the real Teensicle's band members Mikey and DJ tied up at T-Bone's building. However, due to the latter two having their faces switched with two of T-Bone's bandmates, the girls don't believe them to be Mikey and DJ and decide to prove the guys' identities by asking them some questions about personal information they had previously published in a magazine. Much to Clover and Sam's delight, they turn to be the real band members.
