Plot

 * Featured Word: Flabbergasted

At the home of Becky Botsford, T.J., Mrs. Botford and Mr. Botsford are watching a game show on TV. They are trying to guess the answer to the question "Name a 13-letter word beginning with the letter F that means so surprised you can't think or talk." Mrs. Botsford keeps saying that it's "flabber"-something, but can't come up with the word. Mr. Botsford, cooking dinner, insists there is no such word.

Becky walks in with Bob. Her dad asks her about the ruckus at the grocery store, but Becky deflects his questions by saying there was a sale on an olive oil. Mrs. Botsford keeps trying to come up with a word starting with "flabber," and Mr. Botsford keeps dismissing her. Finally, Becky says, "Do you mean flabbergasted? It means so surprised you can't think or talk."

Suddenly, the TV program is interrupted by Doctor Two-Brains. He demands that all the cheese in the city be delivered to city hall in half an hour, or he will turn all the buildings into a pile of goop. Becky leaves, saying she needs to go back to the store because she forgot the beef jerky. As the door closes, she turns into WordGirl and flies off with Bob/Huggy, to stop Dr. Two-Brains from carrying out his evil plan.
