Coupon Madness:

When Life Gives You Potatoes...:

WordGirl is mystified when gold thefts start popping up over the city, bearing marks of Two-Brains robberies. Puzzled that the robberies are gold and not cheese and believing that the evil doctor is still locked away in prison, she at first thinks it is a new criminal in town. After she finds Two-Brains' henchmen stealing gold from the local gold shop she pays the Doctor a visit in prison, only to find he had secretly broken out. She anticipates his next move--stealing the Golden Rodent from a museum--and lies in ambush. When Two-Brains arrives with his men, they capture her and take the Golden Rodent and return to the warehouse lair. Two-Brains reveals his scheme: steal gold, turn it to potato salad, and then use his final ray to turn that potato salad into cheese. He announces that he will turn WordGirl to cheese using this process after using his rays on the golden artifact, but after trying it out on the Rodent and finding Huggy inside he discovers it only works on Gold. Huggy causes the potato-salad-to-gold to fall appart and frees WordGirl, who defeats the mousey villain by trapping him in the same giant mouse wheel he had tied her to.

Shrinkin' in the Ray:

Department Store Tobey: On an excursion to the department store one Saturday, Becky Botsford encounters Tobey McCalister with his mother, shopping. Tobey confides his new plans for destruction to Becky, who quickly changes to WordGirl to try to stop him. Tobey uses riddles in this episode to crypticly tell WordGirl where his robots will strike next, thinking she will never figure out his puzzles. Unfortunately for him, the riddles are good but not good enough to stump the super heroine. In the end, she foils his plans and he is taken away by his mother.
