Every year the town celebrates the last night of Chanukah at Mapperson's bakery. This year, Angela and the gang are helping Gina carry her Grandmother's gigantic antique menorah to the festivities. Along the way they get hungry and decide to stop for special latke pizza at Abatti's. They ask Uncle Nicky to watch the menorah while they eat. He obliges but ends up gambling it away during one of many dreidel games. By the time the children catch up to the person who won the menorah, it's been pawned. The kids race to the pawnshop but now the menorah has been sold to Spangley Jangles. Angela refuses to give up. They convince Spangley to give them the menorah back. But on their way to Mapperson's they forget the menorah on the bus! Somehow the menorah ends up in Nanette's hands and the Manoirs use it for a chandelier! Angela knows that a miracle is what Chanukah is all about and a miracle is just what Tapwater Springs could use right about now.

The Lion, The Witch, And The Weasel The best thing about field trips is that you're not in school. And when you're not in school you don't have to do any assignments. This is Angela's logic and why, as the class leaves for the Tapwater Springs Zoo, she is happy. That is until Nanette suggests to Mrs. Brinks that the class do an assignment on a zoo animal. To make matters worse, Nanette gets to do her assignment on the lion, which is the animal Angela wants. Angela is stuck with the weasel, a weasel that hasn't been seen since 1987! How is Angela supposed to do a report on an animal she can't even see? Angela must think of a way to lure the weasel out of its hole. She tries to win over the weasel with reason, and fails. She tries trickery but that fails too. As time goes by, Angela wants nothing more then to eat and figures maybe that's what the weasel wants too. Sure enough, the weasel pops out of its hole when tempted by Nanette's nuts. And when the zookeeper gets angry that an animal was fed, Nanette gets the blame, because after all, they were her nuts. Hey, field trips are great things! Curse Of the Mummy The gang is on another field trip, this time to the local museum. An exhibit on ancient Egypt is clearly the most exciting. Nanette gets so excited over ancient gold, she knocks Angela into a Mummy. The Mummy topples onto Angela. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, except in this instance the Mummy is cursed. Since Angela touched the Mummy, everyone assumes that she is cursed too and wants nothing to do with her. Only Johnny, Gordy and Gina believe that their pal is curse free. They all agree to help Angela. But all too soon Angela is hit with some unfortunate coincidences, AKA bad luck, and her friends desert her too. If her life seems like it couldn't get any worse, it does. Angela is partnered with Nanette to do a science project. Nanette gets enraged over this turn of events and while throwing a fit, bumps into Angela. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, except in this instance Angela is cursed. Since Nanette touched Angela the curse passes on to her. Now it is Nanette who everyone stays away from!

Kar-Lean On Me Angela begins the school day by having her newest cereal toy confiscated by Mrs. Brinks. The day seems to be like any other typical school day. That is until Karlene reveals that she and Nanette had a falling out over a less than fashionable fur hat. Karlene turns to Angela and pals for solace. Angela is hesitant to offer Karlene comfort but eventually warms up to her charms. Soon Karlene appears to be less like Nanette, and more like Angela. Angela is so sure Karlene has changed, she shares her secrets. Angela's theory is quickly disproved as Karlene betrays Angela's confidence to none other then Nanette Manior. Backstabbing and fashion reunite Karlene and Nanette while Angela is left with nothing but the fake fur hat on her head. Despite all that has happened, Angela gets the last laugh and teaches Karlene a thing or two about friendship and economics. Slice of Life Upon hearing an annoying, but rather catchy jingle for the county fair, Johnny's Uncle Nicky decides to shoot a commercial for Abatti's Pizza. Angela and Gina are convinced they are shoe-ins, and go to great lengths to secure their roles. They even go as far as hiring the always dramatic Gordy as their acting coach, who deprives them of pizza in order to get a convincing performance. Hearing the news, nasty Nanette Manior steals their spotlight (literally) bumping Angela and Gina out of the lead. Unfortunately, Uncle Nicky takes a liking to Nanette and her star qualities, but it is Nonna who decides the final edit. Angela and Gina arrive at the premiere destined for disappointment, until they see that Nanette has been cut from the commercial, and replaced by none other than Angela, Gina and Nonna herself!

Mapperson's Daughter Mapperson's Bakery is running a contest to find a new 'face' for the Mapperson's Bakery Delivery Truck. Angela is sure she is a shoe in until Johnny announces it to the entire school and soon everyone is vying for the title. Everyone except Gina Lash who believes it is the product that makes Mapperson's so special not all of the commercialism. Nanette is also in the running with her professionally done photographs and of course she and Angela spend their time trying to sabotage the others' efforts. The big day arrives and Mr. Mapperson makes the announcement. The new face for the truck is ... Gina Lash! Mr. Mapperson explains that Gina is his biggest customer and therefore a natural choice to represent Mapperson's Bakery. Big Ho Down Angela is totally embarrassed that her Dad, Bill is making her dance with him in the annual Father-Daughter Ho-Down. Even worse he is taking her shopping for Western Duds! At Spangley Jangles Western Shop they run in to Nanette and her Father, Howell, who have won the Father-Daughter Ho-Down for the last two years. Howell makes some snide remarks about the Anacondas and Angela's ability to dance which infuriate Bill who then challenges Howell to a Ho-Down Show-Down! Both teams practice every waking hour before the big night but in the end Howell's many bribes pay off and the Manoirs win the Ho-Down for the third year in a row. Too bad for the Manoirs Bill has played a trick of his own which involves his two-way-super-sticky-tape and the insides of the Manoirs cowboy hats!

Tragedy strikes when an unfortunate chain of events causes Angela & Nanette to be stuck together at the hair, by a giant wad of gum!

Angela is forced to spend the day literally stuck to Nanette's side. Hard to Swallow When Nanette insists that her pure bred French poodle, Oo-La-La is superior in loyalty to Angela's dog King, Angela decides to prove her wrong by luring Oo-La-La away from the Manoir estate and hide him in her backyard. At the same time Angela's Grandma Lou has arrived from the Florida Everglades with her per alligator Barney, who, unknown to Angela, is also in the backyard. When Oo-La-La's rhinestone collar is found, Angela assumes the alligator must have eaten the pampered poodle.

Who's Sari Now A foreign Prince visits Angela's school and guess who is picked to show him around? But, to Angela's dismay, the Prince falls head over heals in love with Nanette. This drives Angela crazy and Johnny even crazier as he has lost the attention he used to get from both girls.

After Johnny's grandmother finds a rat in the pizza sauce, she is certain that the Sabatto's have put it there as a sign of a vendetta and that Angela should fear for her life.

Childhood For Sale Angela is playing baseball with her friends is at bat. She stares down the pitcher. The ball is thrown and Angela hits a homerun...right through Mrs. Brinks' window! Once the damage is totaled, Angela owes Mrs. Brinks a mini fortune. Her parents will pay to fix it but Angela will have to pay them back. Johnny's Uncle Nicky recently made a fortune selling his old junk, so Angela figures she can sell some of her stuff to make a few extra bucks. A date for an Anaconda garage sale is set. Angela separates her collection of stuff into two piles. One pile of things she will keep, the other pile she will sell. But each item Angela comes across fills her with so much nostalgia, she is unable to discard anything. Her "to keep" pile just grows and grows until there is nothing left for her to sell. Her parents suggest that Angela simply work off the debt. Angela thinks about this for a moment and decides it is better to just keep her old memories and sell the junk attached to them. Her time is better spent creating new memories instead of laboring away to pay for a broken window. The Best Is Yeti To Come While picnicking with her family, Angela sees something strange in the bushes. She snaps a picture and upon close inspection concludes she has captured a photo of the elusive Yeti. Her friends scoff. A Yeti is imaginary. If anything, Gina points out, the picture is of a Sasquatch. Angela's friends are positive Angela has simply taken a picture of her own thumbprint. Angela wants to prove them wrong and begs them to stake out the park so they can all catch a glimpse of the Yeti. Reluctantly, they agree. A rumbling is heard in the bushes. Is it a Yeti? No, it's merely Mark and Derek playing football. Another rumbling follows, but again, not a Yeti. Frustrated, Gina, Johnny and Gordy leave Angela to her own devices. As soon as they're gone, the Yeti appears. Angela is going to be famous. She and the Yeti will appear on the cover of countless magazines. Too bad the Yeti is really Mr. Mapperson in a big parka. Unable to admit defeat, Angela decides in her heart of hearts that the Yeti is real and knows she'll get another glimpse someday.

Don't Be Caddie Today is the hottest day in Tapwater Springs and Angela and her pals decide to cool off in Nonna's water sprinklers. Unfortunately Tapwater Springs is experiencing a drought and the Mayor has ordered all citizens to conserve water. Just when it seems Gordy will die from his heat rash, the friends stumble across the Tapwater Country Club and its big, beautiful pool. Angela would love to jump in, but the pool is for members only. What's a girl to do? Well, it just so happens that Mark and Derek have jobs at the Club. With a little help from her parents, Angela's brothers agree to get Angela and friends pool time. But there's a catch. The next day the gang has to do caddie duty. They must help golfers choose the appropriate clubs and also retrieve lost golf balls. Everyone takes their job a little too seriously, retrieving golf balls just as players place them on the tee. Mark and Derek are impressed with Angela's work but never had any intention of actually letting her swim. The pool is being cleaned and it's empty! Angela has two choices: either fill the pool herself, or get an invitation to the Country Club from someone other then her brothers. The Pup Who Would Be King Thanks to King, Angela and her friends get to witness the miracle of birth. King bares four adorable puppies. Angela is immediately taken with a scrappy one that affectionately bites her nose. But Geneva doesn't want any puppies in the house. One dog is enough for the Anacondas and the puppies will be given away. The next day, when Angela returns home from detention, all but the scrappy puppy are gone. Angela promises to find the perfect home for her favorite pup. She interviews many Tapwater residents but none live up to her high standards. Geneva's standards aren't so high. She knows of a perfect place for the puppy to go to. Geneva gives the puppy to Mrs. Brinks! Well, Angela is livid and enlists her friends to help save the puppy from this terrible fate. Can you imagine how horrible it must be to have to lick Mrs. Brinks' face? The more Angela tries to save the puppy, the more apparent it becomes that the puppy truly loves Mrs. Brinks. It seems anything is possible.

Goodbye Mrs. Brinks The school day starts out ordinarily boring as everyone awaits an announcement from Mrs. Brinks. What a surprise when Mrs. Brinks reveals that she has been offered a dream teaching position-at another school! Angela's not-so-secret wish of wanting to get rid of Mrs. Brinks may finally come true. All Angela and her pals have to do is be on their best behavior when the principal from the new school comes to inspect Mrs. Brinks' teaching methods. There's only one problem: Nanette doesn't want Mrs. Brinks to leave. So, when Dr. Fanny (the principal) arrives, Nanette behaves like Angela normally would. Even January and Karlene join in the truancy act, resorting to deeds they must have picked up from Johnny Abatti. If Angela doesn't do something soon, Mrs. Brinks will never go away. Unfortunately for Angela, it appears she has already done too much. Mrs. Brinks is so touched by Angela's new angelic demeanor, she decides to stay at Tapwater Springs Elementary in order to be with her new favorite pupil! The Birdlady Of Tapwater Springs Angela, Johnny and Josephine find themselves in detention staring out of the window when a bird crashes into it. They rush outside to find the bird has seemingly died. Angela picks it up and offers a few words of condolence before giving it a proper toilet funeral. As Angela finishes her prayer, the bird comes to and flies away. The bird wasn't dead, just stunned. Johnny and Josephine are stunned too. They feel that Angela's touch healed the bird. Soon the whole school knows of Angela's healing powers. They offer her all sorts of goodies so she will use her magical powers on them. Of course Angela knows that she doesn't have any special powers but if she can make people happy and get cool perks while doing it, then where's the harm? But when Mrs. Brinks gets wind of Angela's voodoo, she demands that Angela give her the ability to dance again. Somehow Mrs. Brinks does manage to do a very brief and very bad two-step. Angela, pleased that she helped Mrs. Brinks with her jig, decides that this healing gig isn't for her and gracefully retires.

No Thanksgiving Gina invites Angela to the annual Thanksgiving Lash Bash. Angela declines. The Anaconda household believes Thanksgiving is for family and so with her family Angela will stay. And though Angela loves her family, she does not enjoy spending Thanksgiving with them. The Anacondas have never had a successful Turkey Day no matter how hard they've tried. However, this year, they've decided to try harder. Each family member will concentrate on making the perfect Thanksgiving dish. Angela gets to be in charge of helping. Things start out smoothly, until Nanette briefly appears, coughing up a storm. Nanette parts and all Anacondas but Angela come down with the stomach flu! Thanksgiving is ruined again. Angela decides to crash the Lash Bash but Gina will not permit Angela in. Angela is contagious and could get everyone else sick. But Gina, being Gina, would never let Angela down. Just as the festive day seems to be at its bleakest, Gina leaves a full dinner at the Anaconda door. Angela's family makes a miraculous recovery and, yes indeed, there is reason to be thankful. Family Tree While researching her family history for a class project, Angela discovers that the Anacondas of yesteryear owned Miss Nettie. Miss Nettie is the cow, according to legend, that saved Tapwater Springs from a devastating fire. Nanette claims it was actually the Manoirs of yesteryear that owned the famed bovine. Angela sets out to prove Nanette wrong. She discovers an old partial photo of an Anaconda pulling the aforementioned cow. But, Angela's proof only proves Nanette right. See Nanette also has a piece of the same photograph. Side by side the pieces reveal a Manoir descendant riding the cow that an Anaconda descendant is pulling. The Anacondas were the Manoirs' milkmaids! The humiliation is overwhelming. Just then, Grandma Lou appears. Grandma Lou has a third and final piece of the Miss Nettie photograph puzzle. It reveals Miss Nettie actually kicked the lantern-the lantern that started the fire, which almost burned down Tapwater Springs way back when! Phew. Good thing Angela wasn't the real owner of Miss Nettie. Would you want to be related to the cow that almost destroyed your town?!

Boo-Who? It's nearing Halloween. Angela has hesitations because she is worried Geneva will create an embarrassing costume for her to wear like in years past. While eating breakfast for dinner, Angela reads on the back of her cereal box that she can purchase an Astro Nutties "Astro Nut" costume for a low price. She saves her pennies and cereal box tops until finally she has enough for the factory made creation. There's only one problem, Geneva has already made a "Happy Hoppy Bunny" costume of which she is very proud. On Halloween night, in order to avoid hurting Geneva's feelings, Angela wears the "bunny" costume...until she gets outside. Once outside, Angela changes into her "nut" costume. Her friends think Angela's costume is incredibly cool. Nanette decides to get Angela into trouble by exposing the costume charade to Geneva. But Geneva doesn't get angry at all. She's actually thrilled that the "nut" costume earned Angela plenty of trick-or-treat candy. Mother and daughter enjoy their sweets as Nanette seethes, angry that she was unable to ruin Angela's fun. The Haunting of Angela Anaconda It's nearing Halloween and the search is on to find the perfect garage to build a haunted house. Angela's garage wins because it is the darkest, the scariest-and quite frankly, the cleanest! The gang prepares for their spook-fest but prove ill prepared when Angela's brothers try and scare them. Only Angela knows better then to fall for Mark and Derek's silly tricks and shoos them on their way. Finally, the haunted house is ready for neighborhood tours. As the kids enter, one by one, it becomes clear the Anaconda haunted house isn't your run of the mill carnival ride. It's really haunted! Eeerie sounds come from the walls. The lights flicker with nobody at the light switch. Someone is even playing the piano, with no piano in sight. Angela is convinced her brothers are trying to scare them again. Her friends are positive it's a ghost and leave poor Angela alone to fight the so called demon herself. Luckily, the demon turns out to be a raccoon and Angela's house is spook free after all.

All For One Today is Nature Survival Day and the kids are taken on a field trip to the woods where they will partake in a character building obstacle course. On top of this, the kids are to give themselves a goal that they hope to accomplish by day's end. Angela's goal is to help every member of whichever team she is grouped with. Luckily, she is grouped with her closest friends. That is until Nanette shows up and is put on Angela's team. Nanette manipulates Gordy, Gina and Johnny to get herself elected as team captain. For the good of the team, the friends must also carry countless pieces of Nanette's heavy, back-breaking luggage as they trek through the forest's obstacle course. Of course, Nanette proves to be an inadequate leader and manages to get the troop lost. With her friends overcome with fear, it is left to Angela to save the day. It just so happens that Angela has left behind a trail of Nanette's useless luggage. Angela's trail leads them back to civilization and Angela achieves her goal. She did indeed help everyone on her team, even Ninnie-poo. Uncle Nicky's Midlife Crisis While the gang prepares to race Gina's turtles, a distraught Uncle Nicky distracts them. It seems Uncle Nicky has picked today to realize that he is getting old. Too busy with turtles to deal with his mid-life crisis, the gang offers little sympathy until Uncle Nicky offers the kids a lift in his car. Soon Uncle Nicky wins the kids over with his cool ways and the purchase of some ice cream. Uncle Nicky is allowed to partake in the children's afternoon of fun and frivolity. When it becomes apparent that what makes Uncle Nicky cool is also what makes him terribly obnoxious, the gang is forced to find a way to ditch him. Angela comes up with a hide and seek plan. It fails. She comes up with another plan involving dolls. This plan fails too. Finally, she comes up with a "work" plan but that only succeeds in leaving her alone with Uncle Nicky. Angela's friends sacrifice her in order to get away from him. Angela must convince Uncle Nicky that life as an adult is better then life as a child or her own childhood could be ruined forever!

Eating With the Enemy Bill has just won the Annual Tapwater Springs Inno-ventor contest with his spectacular, accidental invention, the Food Rejuvenator 3000. And thanks to Angela's big mouth, Howell Manoir, is interested in investing in the device. Bill invites the Manoirs over for dinner so he can promote the Rejuvinator and negotiate a contract. Bill is positive that this could be his chance to make a lot of money and goes to great lengths to make sure everything is perfect for the meal. Angela is to be on her best behaviour. The Manoirs arrive and manage to insult with every compliment they give. Poor Geneva is at her breaking point. As for Angela, when she learns that Nanette has to be on her best behaviour, she manipulates the situation to make Nanette do whatever she wants. Nanette, of course, turns things around to her advantage and soon Angela is miserable again. Bill watches the evening unfold and decides that maybe money is not what he wants. Especially if it means the Anaconda family will start to resemble the Manoirs. Brocc-Fest It is the annual Tapwater Springs Broccoli Festival and the children are made to enter a broccoli poster-making contest. Angela is not happy. Firstly, everyone knows Nanette is going to win the contest, so what's the point?! Secondly, Angela hates the bushy green, which makes creating a poster in celebration of it even harder. Luckily, Angela discovers that Baby Lulu has a broccoli shaped head. Angela uses Baby Lulu as inspiration and creates a poster of the cutest broccoli anyone in Tapwater Springs has ever seen. To her amazement, Angela wins the contest while poor Nanette is runner up. Angela becomes the "keeper of the broccoli" and must give a speech extolling its virtues in front of the whole town. This forces her to find a way in which she can appreciate the funky florets or give up her title. However, in doing that, Nanette would become the "keeper" and letting Nanette win is almost as bad as the vegetable itself.

Cheese Under Pressure The liverwurst sandwiches that Geneva gives to Angela everyday for lunch are becoming less appetizing. In fact, Angela isn't the only person bored with her lunch. The whole school seems unhappy with what their parents have packed and Angela suggests they all trade. There's only one problem-nobody wants Angela's lunch. Angela figures the answer to her problems is to bring something for lunch that every kid would want. So she brings peanut butter and jelly with her. But a kid can get peanut butter any old time and Angela is left out of the trading. Next stop: the supermarket. Surely Angela can get something cool to eat there. And she does. She discovers Squiggly Cheese, the artificial spray cheese from a can that not only tastes good, its fun to play with. Instantly Angela is the envy of the lunch room crowd. Even Nanette wants to trade with her! Will Angela trade away the best lunch she's had in a long while? Or will Nanette just manipulate Angela into giving her the coveted Squiggly Cheese? Troop Or Consequences Angela and Gina love being part of the Junior Ranger-ettes. They however don't love that Karlene and January are about to elect Nanette troop leader in an upcoming vote. Angela and Gina must recruit some new Ranger-ettes to prevent this from happening. They try desperately to recruit Josephine. She turns them down. The only girl who shows interest in becoming a Ranger-ette is actually-a boy! Gordy Rhinehart loves the crafts and other neat things the Ranger-ettes do. Being a Rangerette would also let Gordy be close to Gina Lash. When Nanette is unable to prevent Gordy from joining the troop, she points out that Gordy needs ten achievement pins before he can qualify to vote for troop leader. It would take a miracle for Gordy to get ten pins in time for the vote. But with sheer determination Gordy gets nine pins. Can Nanette foil Gordy before he reaches pin number 10?

The Great Granny Grudge Grandma Lou is back in town and Angela couldn't be happier. Grandma Lou is just as fun as any kid. One day while playing, Lou hurts herself and Bill decides that it's time his mother had a friend her own age. Angela knows just the person-Nonna Abatti. But Angela is unaware that Nonna and Lou were once good friends who now hate each other. As soon as Nonna makes the family connection between Angela and Lou, and Lou makes the connection between Johnny and Nonna, the Grannies forbid their respective grandchildren from ever having anything to do with one another. Angela enlists Bill and Uncle Nicky to help settle matters. However, these two sons have no idea why their mothers are truly fighting and end up trading insults with each other. Soon Angela and Johnny are forced to choose sides. Will the two of them be the generation where the feud finally ends? News At Eleven Mrs. Brinks' class has been chosen to do a newscast for the community-access channel. Everyone gets assigned plum positions. Gina gets to be the food critic, Gordy the weatherman. Even Johnny is excited because he's on the crime beat and is sure to get an "A" thanks to his Uncle Nicky's knowledge of crime. But Angela's hopes of becoming the news anchor are quickly dashed when Mrs. Brinks unsurprisingly chooses Nanette for the job. Angela is assigned-the farm report! Not one to let her bad luck bring her down, Angela decides to do the best farm report ever. Nothing exciting seems to happen though on Farmer Jangles' farm. The apples are rotten and the rooster is cranky, neither of which seems newsworthy. When Farmer Jangles mentions that his goat has just given birth to six kids, Angela instinctively knows that the goat will be the focus of her report. There's just one problem, Nanette gets wind of the goat story and scoops poor Angela. Now Angela has no story, no assignment, and no choice but to get even with Nanette!

The Girl With All The Answers Gina Lash is only one gold star away from being crowned Questions &Answers Queen. When Gina wins, it will mean that the Q&A crown is one crown Nanette Manoir will never get to wear. Angela is ecstatic! Only Gina eats too much the night before her final competition. Mrs. Brinks seizes her absence as an opportunity to help Nanette win! Angela does everything she can to motivate Gina back to school before Nanette gets enough gold stars. But Gina is far too happy being taken care of to hurry up her healing process. Angela is forced to watch Mrs. Brinks hand Nanette the correct answers. Coincidentally, Angela stumbles upon the teachers' edition of an old textbook. She tries to explain to Mrs. Brinks what she found, but Mrs. Brinks is too concerned with Nanette to pay notice. With the help of the teachers' edition, Angela becomes the girl with all the answers. She answers all of Mrs. Brinks' questions correctly, even before they're asked. Angela would love to become the new Q&A Queen though in her heart she knows that Gina truly deserves the coronation. What's our heroine to do? Good Seats A Mega-Giants Movie craze has taken over Tapwater Springs. Angela, Johnny, Gina and Gordy learn that a local pop station is holding a contest with free movie tickets as the prize. All they have to do is be the first caller to call the station when the Mega-Giants theme is played. Angela decides that they will listen to the radio in shifts. She chooses the graveyard shift. Of course she falls asleep before the theme song is played. In a bizarre twist of fate, Nanette ends up winning the tickets. Now that the gang doesn't have free tickets, they decide to be the first in line and guarantee themselves the best seats. They show up for the movie over seven hours before show time before anyone else. Moments before the theatre doors open, Nanette and the clone club show up on cue and cut in front of Angela. It turns out that the free radio tickets gave them V.I.P privileges. Now Angela and her friends are forced to take even more drastic measures to ensure they get great seats. All Angela's hard work proves for naught though when Mrs. Brinks sits in front of her and blocks the screen with her big wig. Will Angela ever get to see the Mega-Giants Movie or will she be stuck staring at Mega-Brinks instead?

Together, they put on a formidable show and dazzle ever increasing crowds. They're ready for the big time - a performance at Abatti's Pizza. Only Gina's back gives out two days before the show and Johnny is left sans assistant. Angela is eager to lend a hand but Nanette soon shows up to offer her abilities - Nanette will do almost anything for a spotlight. The archenemies compete with each other to impress Johnny until Nanette abruptly takes herself out of the competition. Nanette has figured out that Johnny is a horrible magician. Gina is the one who makes the magic work. Will Angela make the connection before Johnny "magically" saws her in half?

Liz Lash is convinced Coach Rhinehart wrote the letter. The two start up an instant romance and Angela's friends are furious at her. Gina is upset because Coach is always at her house eating her food. Gordy is upset because Coach is too busy with Liz to spend time with him. And Gina still doesn't know how much in love with her Gordy is! Even Johnny is upset. Uncle Nicky has always had a crush on Liz and spends his days moping now that she and Coach have hooked up. And if Angela had delivered the letter properly in the first place, none of this would have happened. Angela tries to break up the happy couple but only makes matters worse. Soon, the whole town is affected by the Lash/Rhinehart coupling and they direct their anger at Angela. Angela quickly discovers that what the people of Tapwater really need is to be in love themselves. Can Angela succeed in being Cupid for everyone and bring love to town?

Gordy In The Plastic Bubble Angela has a brand new microscope and eagerly shows it off to her friends. Despite Gordy's lack of enthusiasm, Angela manages to convince him to look at his eyelash under the lens. Gordy gets more then a glimpse of an enlarged eyelash: he also spots a bug! Angela tries to calm his frazzled nerves by revealing that the bug on his eyelash is harmless. Everyone has microscopic bugs all over their body. This revelation offers little comfort and sends Gordy into a state of panic. He wears protective gloves and masks and keeps his distance from his friends lest their parasites find their way onto him. Then Gordy learns that it's just not other people's germs that he has to fear. Even inanimate objects such as books and food have parasites. Gordy doesn't know where to put himself. Angela tries to help but everything she tries backfires. Soon Gordy has no other alternative but to sit in a bathtub all day. Will Angela be able to calm her friend before he shrivels away? Or is Gordy destined to live in a plastic bubble forever? Camp Anaconda Bill and Geneva will be away during Spring Break and plan on sending Angela to Connie Brinks' Biology Camp. Angela's friends are stuck with the same fate. Now, there's nothing more boring then a week with Connie, so an alternative is desperately needed. Cue Mark and Derek who need money to buy hockey equipment. They agree, for a price, to take care of Angela, Gina, Johnny and Gordy - Camp Anaconda is born. However, if any harm comes to the children, Mark and Derek don't get paid. Fearing their charges might get the tiniest bruise, physical activity is forbidden. The brothers even go as far as tying the children up. When the children plead for water, a hose is turned on them! Camp Anaconda is sheer torture. Well, the kids finally do manage to trick Mark and Derek into taking them out on the town. While they're out though, the Anaconda garage floods because Mark and Derek left the above mentioned hose on. Of course, Angela is blamed for being thirsty in the first place. Having had the worst Spring Break ever, and facing the possibility that she may be punished for something she didn't do, Angela could sure use a quick change of fortune.

Sound Of Silence Coach Rhinehart has lost his voice and football practice has been cancelled. Mark and Derek are left with nothing to do but torture poor Angela. To make matters worse, if Mark and Derek's football team lose their next game, they won't make it to the playoffs. This means even more time on their hands - even more time to torture their sister. Angela must find a way for Coach to get healthy again. While failing at playing doctor, Angela discovers that Gordy has the ability to understand Coach's silent gestures. Gordy can interpret for Coach on the football field. Football practice is on again. But Gordy's interpretations of Coach's unique sign language are quite flowery. In fact, the football players have a hard time understanding exactly what Gordy is trying to say. When Gordy tries to get aggressive, he loses his voice too! Once again Angela is forced to take matters into her own hands. Now when Coach makes a gesture, Gordy interprets it with his own. Angela in turn interprets Gordy. And somehow, as improbable as it seems, the team wins with one spectacular maneuver. Angela is a hero. Johnny Learns To Swing Angela innocently discovers something strange on Johnny's chest. None of the kids knows what it is but Uncle Nicky recognizes it. Johnny has genuine Abatti chest hair. This, of course, means Johnny is a man and Uncle Nicky must now teach his young charge the ways in which a real man behaves. The next day when Angela and friends pick Johnny up to go to school, Johnny is no where to be found. Their friend has morphed into John-O - a miniature Uncle Nicky, complete with leisure suit and lady-killer attitude. Angela has a few reservations. Johnny is trying to act older and his coolness is getting in the way of having fun. But Nanette seems repulsed by John-O's new charms and, if he can upset Nanette, he can still be Angela's friend! All too soon though the charm turns to smarm and Nanette falls for the insincerity John-O is oozing. Thankfully, Johnny is unable to give up his spitball addiction, something Uncle Nicky says is a manly no-no. Maybe Johnny can be rescued from John-O after all.

Jiggly Fruit Classic Jiggly James, the official spokesperson for Jiggly Fruit, announces that the tasty treat has a new and improved recipe. Can perfection be improved upon? Naturally, Angela, Gina, Johnny and Gordy are the first in line to try New Jiggly Fruit. This also makes them the first to learn how truly awful their favorite snack has become. New Jiggly Fruit is disgusting! To make matters worse, the Jiggly Fruit corporation has stopped production of old Jiggly Fruit. Mrs. Brinks, a Jiggly connoisseur, is just as upset as Angela is over this turn of events. Angela is surprised that she and Mrs. Brinks have anything in common, especially dessert. The two soon form a strong bond as they join forces to battle the evil Jiggly James. When the two former nemesis combine their smarts and creativity, nothing is able to withstand their power. Soon old Jiggly Fruit is back in production and order is restored to Tapwater Springs. Race Car Race Parents in Tapwater Springs are busy helping their child build a soapbox-racing car for an upcoming race. Every car is unique, built with care to reflect the child's personality. For example: Gina's car has a built in doughnut holder and Gordy's is filled with flowers. Unsurprisingly, Nanette's car is a store bought one and it's really fast. Angela, Gina, Johnny and Gordy decide to take the best parts of their own cars and combine them into one super car. And since Johnny is deemed the best driver, he gets to drive. During practice Johnny gets into an accident. Disappointed with himself, Johnny is convinced he has lost his racing magic. He no longer feels he is able to beat Nanette and Angela must now sit it the driver's seat. While racing, Nanette cheats, causing Angela's racecar to lose two of its wheels. Just when it seems that all is lost, Angela convinces Johnny to work his racing magic and get back behind the wheel. To which he does, proving that a Johnny with two homemade wheels is better then a Nanette with four store bought.

Surf's Up It's summer vacation! Liz Lash and her "associate" Francisco are driving Angela, Gina, Johnny and Gordy to the beach. The gang is thrilled and plans to spend the day in the glorious water. Their nautical intentions are quickly foiled upon arrival at the beach. For who should turn up but none other then Nanette and her clone club. To make matters worse, Mrs. Brinks has taken a summer job as a lifeguard. It doesn't take long until Nanette manages to get Angela and her pals dry docked! Angela refuses to be beaten. If they gang can't go to the water, they will find a way to bring the water to them. Of course, every attempt fails because around every corner lurks Nanette, all too ready to thwart their efforts. But eventually Nanette proves to be her own worst enemy when she inadvertently buries Mrs. Brinks up to the neck in sand. Angela, Gina, Johnny and Gordy get their fun in the sun after all. Dog Gone It While enjoying a harmless game of softball, said softball ends up landing in a neighbor's yard. This normally wouldn't be a problem, but, this neighbor's yard is inhabited by a dog named Carnivorous. To make matters worse, the softball belongs to Mark and Derek. If Angela can't get the ball back, she might not make it to her next birthday. She and her friends try to come up with a plan. Gordy is used as a decoy and the kids manage to retrieve the ball. They also free the dog from his yard in the process. Carnivorous lives up to his name as he chases everyone up trees and on top of cars. The only way the kids can get rid of the dog is to throw the ball back into the yard! Angela is back at where she started. She has no choice but to take matters into her own hands and go into the dog's yard herself. She marches right into the yard, only to be immediately chased into a garbage can! Mark and Derek turn out to be the heroes of this tale when they come home and reveal that Carnivorous is really Fifi and quite nice once you get to know her.

Jimmy Jamal, Super Beetle Jimmy Jamal has been acting weird lately. He thinks he's a super hero, Super Beetle to be exact. Some people are willing to believe in Jimmy's crime fighting powers. Angela and her pals are skeptical. Johnny offers to try and talk some sense into him. This turns out to be a mistake. Jimmy ends up convincing Johnny that he would make a great sidekick. Thus Krazy Kricket, nee Johnny Abatti, is born! But what's this?! There seems to be a crime in Tapwater Elementary that needs to be solved after all. Sherman, the class chicken, has gone missing. All fingers point to Angela as being the chicken snatcher. The once skeptical Angela is now forced to beg Super Beetle and Krazy Kricket to prove her innocence. They carefully gather all sorts of clues and evidence only to reveal... Angela is guilty. This crime-fighting duo is really a crime-fighting dud. It looks like Angela will have to solve this chicken caper herself. I'm With Stupid Show and Tell grows increasingly boring every time it's Angela's turn to show and tell. The things she brings to share with the class just aren't very interesting. Angela needs to find something that will grab everyone's attention. She enlists the help of her father. He offers her the use of his former ventriloquism dummy - a cow named Mr. Mooey. Mr. Mooey is an instant hit with the class. They love his cow-rific puns and biting sense of humor. What Angela's class doesn't seem to realize, is that Mr. Mooey is merely an extension of Angela. In fact, everyone becomes so enamoured with the wooden bovine he becomes the center of attention while Angela is completely ignored. When Angela leaves Mr. Mooey at home, her friends become upset at his absence. It seems that the only way for Angela to win her friends back from Mr. Mooey is to turn him into Mr. Meany. Soon the cow's caustic jokes turn Angela's friends against him and she gladly puts him back in storage.

Saturday Night Gordy Thanks to Nanette and her not-so-great ideas, Angela finds herself at a school dance with Gordy Rhinehart as her assigned partner. Surprisingly, once some funky music starts playing, Gordy morphs into a dancing god. He shakes his grove thing better then any other in Tapwater Springs. Soon Connie Brinks is offering Gordy and Angela the chance to dance on his local television show. Angela jumps at the opportunity. All she has to do is convince Gordy the show is a good idea. With a little persistence, he agrees - on one condition: Angela has to keep him happy. Which would seem simple enough until Gordy transforms into the ultimate Diva, demanding such things as having every pea removed from his casserole. Angela manages to endure Gordy's rock star posturing until the day of the television taping. While Angela stands in the studio wings, waiting for her name to be announced, Nanette's is called instead. Has Angela put up with Diva Gordy for nothing? Derek's Better Half Bill and Geneva are going out on a date tonight and have opted to get Angela a "youth companion". Normally Mark and Derek would look after her, but they have an evening of monster trucks to look forward to. Enter Raven, a student from Geneva's community art class who also happens to be the same age as Mark. Raven has graciously accepted the position as Angela's companion. And Mark couldn't be happier! He instantly falls head over heals. Soon he and Raven are ditching Angela and Derek so that they can go to the monster truck show instead. Angela is angry. For starters, Angela thinks that Raven is cool and can't figure out what she sees in Mark. For another, with Mark gone, Angela is stuck with Derek! The Raven/Mark romance continues for several days. Raven promises to do cool things with Angela but Mark and his stupid romance thwarts all plans. Derek continues to get more miserable without his best friend brother at his side. When he's miserable he makes Angela miserable. She has no choice but to put the kibosh on the young lovers' love.

There Goes The Neighborhood A new boy, Stu Wu, has moved into the neighborhood and Angela is the first to meet him. He seems incredibly cool. Angela hurries to find her friends so they can meet him too. While waiting for Gina, Johnny and Gordy to show up, Angela decides to help Stu unpack. Suddenly, Stu seems incredibly creepy. His coolness is gone. Angela leaves in order to tell her friends to not bother meeting Stu. They don't believe her and insist on meeting him anyway. To them, Stu seems like a great kid. He even lets them play with his skateboard. Angela finally relents and decides maybe Stu isn't a creep. So she decides to help him decorate his room. She runs to her house to get a few things. Upon her return, the creepiness of Stu is even more apparent. This Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde routine is easily explained when Nanette Manoir appears at Stu's side. Of course, when Stu is with Nanette, he becomes a creep. Or... Stu Wu has a twin named Ray and Angela has been confusing the two since the get go! Open All Night Angela is having trouble falling asleep. In fact, she hasn't slept in a couple of days - ever since a water main broke in her house. The lack of sleep is starting to take its toll. She's putting toothpaste in her hair, putting clothes on backwards, she's even tripping over her friends. Clearly something has to be done. Gina, Gordy and Johnny decide to help Angela cure herself of the dreaded insomnia. Gina thinks a full stomach will help Angela and is quickly feeding her. The food makes Angela more ill then tired. Gordy suggests aroma- therapy candles. Unfortunately, just as the candles are lit, the fire alarms are set off. Since school has always put Johnny to sleep, he suggests a mental test will tire Angela out. However, he poses a question that no one can answer, and Angela becomes frantic thinking about it. The only solution now is to trace her steps and find out what use to put her to sleep. Turns out... it was a drippy faucet that caused the water main to brake a couple of days ago!

Pranks For The Memories Angela can not remember a single day when she has not gotten into trouble with Mrs. Brinks. Today looks like it could be a first. School is almost over and Angela is beaming over the fact that she does not have eraser clapping duty or detention. Of course, Mrs. Brinks distrusts Angela's smile and gives her detention just for suspecting Angela is up to no good. Well, that's it! Angela has had enough. If she's going to get into trouble for things she doesn't do, she might as well start actually causing some trouble. She enlists her brothers for help. After all, they are master troublemakers. They torture her during the learning process but it's worth it in the end. With her smarts combined with their pranking abilities, Angela is ready to become a master prankster. Soon the school is turned on its ear. Angela cranks out fabulous prank after fabulous prank. So fabulous are her pranks, no one suspects her. Well, Angela decides she wants credits for her hard work. However, her brother's taught her that a master prankster never gets caught. How is Angela going to get the credit she deserves and not get into trouble for it? Space Camp Angela and a few other children of Tapwater Springs are at Space Camp. They all have high hopes of becoming junior astronaut. However, Astronaut Bob informs them, only one kid can become a junior astronaut. Competitions will be set up - the loser of each competition will be eliminated until only one person is left. Angela desperately wants to win. Unfortunately, so does Nanette. So, at each competition, Nanette and Angela try to eliminate each other. Angela tries to make Nanette laugh her way out of a competition - Gina ends up losing through a fit of giggles. Nanette tries to eliminate Angela via cheating - January and Karlene end up being thrown out instead. In fact, each time the two enemies try to eliminate one another, an innocent bystander gets ousted. Finally, only Angela, Johnny and Nanette remain. Angela decides that since Johnny has been playing fairly from the beginning, and really only ever wanted to have fun, she will help him win. Besides, all that really matters in the end is that Nanette loses.

The Curse Of Baby Lulu Baby Lulu utters a bad word. Bill and Geneva are aghast and demand to know who taught the baby such filth. They go around the room, questioning those who came into contact with Lulu today. Uncle Nicky was the last to handle her. He was dropping by the house to pick up Johnny when Mark and Derek left the tot in his care. But all he did was play "this little piggie" with her. He's innocent! Well, Mark and Derek had Lulu before Nicky. Surely they must be guilty of teaching her smut. However, they're innocent too. All they did was try to teach Lulu how to play football. Which leaves-Angela. She took care of Lulu for most of the day. And, Angela has never been one to shy away from trouble. Clearly she is the culprit. Bill is about to lay punishment when he suddenly remembers something. He actually had Lulu before Angela. And while he was taking care of her, he hurt his finger - badly! So maybe Angela isn't guilty, and needn't be punished. That said - who gets to punish Bill?! Funny Photos Angela and her friends discover a section of the newspaper known as "Funny Photos". This is where embarrassing photos of local townspeople are printed. Not only are the pictures hilarious, they can be profitable. The newspaper pays people for their funny submissions. The kids take pictures of themselves making silly faces and send them off. They are promptly rejected and told that their photos lack humor. Ever resourceful, the friends decide to orchestrate some "accidents". They start off by creating a huge mud puddle surrounded by banana peels. Surely someone will jog by, slip in, and provide the perfect photo opportunity. The scheme backfires. As do all their later schemes. Every time Angela attempts to embarrass someone else, she or one of her friends become victims of their own plans. Conveniently enough, Nanette has been present for all of Angela's backfired schemes. And thanks to Nanette, Angela's pictures do end up in the "Funny Photos" section after all - however, Angela's not the photographer.

Nonna's Lib Nonna Abatti is late getting to a library book sale. The only book left that seems appealing is one entitled "The Cry of the She-Wolf". It turns out to be a feminist manifesto. A few chapters in, Nonna realizes that as a woman, she's being taken advantage of. She will no longer be a slave to the kitchen and denounces the possibility of any future pizza making. Well, Angela and her friends are happy that Nonna is taking charge of her own life. But they wish she'd leave her wonderful pizza out of the process. Uncle Nicky doesn't know the secret recipe. The kids try to help him out but only Gordy knows how to cook. And all he can make are eggs! The kids tell Nonna that she is greatly missed in an effort to win her back. She misunderstands their compliments and only gets angrier. All hope seems lost until Nonna finally gets to the final chapter of "She Wolf". There, Nonna reads that an independent woman should have her own business and be her own boss. Thanks to Abatti's pizza, she is an independent woman. So really, there's never been any shame in making pizza. All My Students Mrs. Brinks has been teaching at Tapwater Elementary for countless years. A jubilee is to be thrown in her honor and of course, Nanette, has been put in charge of organizing the proceedings. She makes Angela in charge of finding local townspeople to perform tribute acts. Nobody in town has fond memories of Brinks' teaching style and naturally, nobody wants to be part of a tribute for her. When Angela exhausts all possibilities within the town, she decides to look outside of Tapwater Springs. She searches Mrs. Brinks' old yearbooks and discovers an inscription that reads "love always". Eureka! She found a student who actually liked his teacher. Even better, the student is now the famous soap opera actor Corey Cray. Better still, when Angela calls him up, he agrees to be part of the tribute. When the town gets wind that Corey Cray is going to be part of the show, then they all want to get into the act. Angela is suddenly a success as an entertainment coordinator. That is, until Corey Cray cancels at the last minute. Will Angela be able to save the show?

Snow Day Tapwater Springs is covered in snow. Surely school will be canceled today. Just to be on the safe side, Angela performs some superstitious rituals. The radio announcer finally announces Tapwater Elementary will be closed. Angela quickly grabs her toboggan and finds her friends. They go to their favorite toboggan hill. Nanette promptly ruins their fun. Nanette's father is building a French beauty school on the property; Angela and her friends are trespassing. They find another hill. All seems well until Mrs. Brinks and her husband toboggan on by, naked! Not wanting to spend their day off with their nudist teacher, the kids find another hill. All seems well until they toboggan into leftover spaghetti. It turns out this perfect hill is located in the city dump. The kids give up. But then, in the distance, they see it: the most perfect toboggan hill ever. All seems well, until, Astronaut Bob appears. The kids are trespassing again and this time on Astronaut Bob's high security property. Will Angela's hero be happy to see her, or will he throw her in jail? The Puck Stops Here Angela has delusions of hockey grandeur. Her team -made up of Gina, Johnny and Gordy - will be playing their first game in three days. The problem is, Angela has a tendency to daydream. During one such daydream, Angela gets hit in the stomach with a puck. This puts the fear of hockey into her and she refuses to play anymore. But her friends need her to play. Angela makes them a deal. If each of them will face their worst fear, she will face hers and play hockey. Gina goes first. She's afraid of the basement. She makes her ways down the dark stairs, only to discover her mother keeps all sorts of great food down there. That's one fear gone! Johnny is next. He's afraid to tell his Nonna that she feeds him too much. With great conviction, he tells a sympathetic Nonna how he feels; she's more then happy to give him a half serving of food. Gordy is afraid of germs. Johnny lends him Uncle Nicky's toothbrush. As gross as it seems, the germs don't kill him. So, it's Angela's turn. Will fear get the best of her? Or will she fight her fear and lead her friends to a hockey victory?

Diving Miss Angela While on a field trip to Oceanland, Angela falls in love with the whales. She wants to become a marine biologist. Grandma Lou is over for a visit and she's brought along a periscope. This piece of equipment is all Angela needs to begin. She is soon at the beach with her friends, searching for signs of sea-life. They happen upon Ms. Yamagachi's scuba diving class. What luck! Angela would love to take lessons. Unfortunately, she's too young. Nanette is in the class; however, she has previous experience bought for her by her father. Angela needs scuba experience in order to take the class. She will need an instructor. Grandma Lou will do in a pinch! Grandma Lou won't let Angela swim in the lake for her first dive, too dangerous. They need to find a pool. Nanette has a pool but she would never let Angela swim in it. Grandma Lou suggests that they use it anyway, when nobody is looking. Of course, they get caught. While in the pool, Angela finds some jewels Bunny Manoir was missing. Angela falls in love with the rocks and decides that instead of marine biologist, she'll become a geologist. Window Pain Geneva wants to enter an art contest with the local museum about the reality of family life. Angela suggests their family be used as inspiration. Geneva takes Angela's suggestion one step further and soon the Anaconda's find themselves living in a replica of their house as part of a museum exhibit. This means the Anaconda's are to live their lives with others watching. Angela's only break from being on view is when she's in class. She's hesitant at first. When she realizes that the museum patrons find her entertaining, she warms up to them. Some of them even help her with her homework. Maybe this art exhibit won't be so bad. Suddenly Nanette shows up just as Bill is doing something embarrassing. The incident is the talk of the school next day. In fact, everything that the Anaconda's do in the museum display is up for discussion. Angela hates being the center of this type of attention. The only way out of the situation, it seems, is to watch the audience and make them understand what it's like to be stared at.
