Crime in the Key of V

Crime in the Key of V is episode 20b of Season 3 of WordGirl.

Summary
Determined to be the best at everything, the villainous Victoria Best sets out to be the best superhero in the city and put WordGirl out of commission for good. When Victoria captures Amazing Rope Guy with her tractor beam eyes will WordGirl have to settle for second best?

The Key
A crowd has gathered around, while WordGirl is about to receive a key to the city from the Mayor, for defeating a whole bunch of villains. Just then, Victoria goes up to WordGirl, and demands that she have the key, because she claims that she is simply "the best at everything". Her parents support this claim, while WordGirl says that she can't be the best at everything. She asks for her key back, adding that she got it because she was the best superhero, and Victoria isn't even a superhero. Victoria's parents argue that "she could be if she wanted to", and with their hypnotic gazes, tell her to "put [her] mind to it." Victoria repeats this with the same hypnotic glare in her eyes. WordGirl just takes the key from Victoria's hands while she is in her trance (Victoria hardly even reacting to the action) and flies off. Victoria, still semi-frozen in her current pose, looks up at WordGirl indignantly.

Trivia

 * This episode's title may be interpreted in several different ways. "Crime in the Key of V" is a reference to keys in music, which reflects Victoria's recorder and how she uses it in her crimes. "Key" may also have a double meaning, as part of the episodes' plot involved a key to the city.
