Summary[]

Tobey, who's still grounded, is forced to go with his mother to the department store. There he plots to destroy the city with his robots again and tries to impress WordGirl using clever riddles, but his plan backfires when the robots start malfunctioning.

Plot[]

Tobey is still under house arrest sitting in his room reminiscing about how he hates and loves WordGirl at the same time. His mother calls him that it's time to go shopping which he does so. Meanwhile Becky, T.J., Bob and their Dad are shoe shopping which the kids are not enthusiastic about. Becky spots Tobey and asks how he is, Tobey tells her to meet him in women's wear in 15 minutes. Becky tells her Dad she's going to get a hat for her hat club, he allows it. They meet in a clothes rack, he tells her that he has set up a series of riddles for WordGirl to solve which will lead her to all his crimes. Soon the attacks start and Becky turns into WordGirl and solves all the riddles (even though Tobey's writing and planning was somewhat bad) leaving Tobey very frustrated. Mrs McCallister is taking a long time with her shopping leaving Tobey to make some gadgets while waiting. WordGirl actually agrees with that feeling especially when her mother goes shopping. They get back to battling with WordGirl wiping out his last robot. Soon enough Tobey is caught and taken back by his mother. Becky meanwhile gets a new pair of shoes that she does not like but thanks her dad nonetheless.
