Living in the Granny's Paradise

Plot

 * Featured Word: Coordinated

In the previous episode, Granny May had captured WordGirl in her web of yarn, and Eugene was coming over to play “Squish the Knitting.” Before he get there though, WordGirl is able to break free and move herself and Huggy out of the way. But she becomes too focused on talking about their coordinated movements that she doesn’t notice Eugene, and he is able to grab her and hold onto her while Granny May plans her escape.

All of a sudden, an unlikely hero steps in. Violet strolls into the jewelry store holding a flower, and walks up to Eugene. WordGirl warns her that he is dangerous, but Violet says he is just timid. When she asks his name, he covers his mouth and coyly says “Eugene”. She hands him the flower, and he drops WordGirl and takes the flower from Violet. Then she takes him by the hand and they walk out of the store together.

Granny May says, “Didn’t see that comin’!” Then she transforms into her metal suit and rockets out of the store, but not before WordGirl grabs her purse with all the jewels. WordGirl then gets ready to go after Eugene, but the Narrator tells her that may not be necessary. Evidently Violet’s kind nature has had a profound effect on Eugene… at the end of the episode, we see her, Eugene, WordGirl and Captain Huggy Face lying in the grass and watching the clouds. Eugene even puts the flower in Violet’s hair.

Trivia

 * Granny’s nephew Eugene becomes a recurring background character in the WordGirl series. It seems he was very insecure and self-conscious, and had been steered into crime by his villainous aunt.  But it turns out that he has a kind heart, which Violet manages to bring out in him, and he is never again seen associating with his aunt throughout the rest of the series.

Eugene ends up being a classmate of Becky, and is often seen with Emma, another recurring background character who is in her class.
