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?
Plot[]
A crowd has gathered around while WordGirl is about to receive a key to the city from the Mayor for beating a whole bunch of villains. Just then, Victoria goes up to WordGirl and insists 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.
Later, Amazing Rope Guy is trying to rob the bank. WordGirl comes and ties him up, but Victoria shows up and uses her recorder to hypnotize everyone, then makes them believe that she captured the criminal. Everyone then believes she is a superhero. She is honored by the Mayor for her accomplishment, and WordGirl has to give the key to the city back. Victoria even gets a gorilla sidekick named General Smoochington, and starts swinging from a rope attached to the roof of her house to simulate flying. She is talking to everyone about her being the best when Becky shows up and tries to tell Victoria that she didn't actually save the citizens all she did was take the credit. Victoria just states that she is a hero and is the best at it.
When the Whammer shows up to challenge Victoria to a battle, Becky decides not to help out and see how she handles herself especially if she is "the best". Whammer goes on a rampage, and Victoria reluctantly goes to try and save the day. When she supervises her sidekick to take care of the Whammer, he just eats a banana. She is too nervous even to play her recorder causing her to play off key. Victoria finally confesses that she is not a real superhero, and WordGirl shows up to save the day.
As she drives off with her dissatisfied parents, Victoria says, "Well, if I can't be the best superhero, then I'll be the best supervillain!"

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 episode's plot involved a key to the city.
