* DressedInLayers: Fred apparently wore her regular outfit ''under'' her cheerleader outfit, with flesh-colored leggings to obscure her pants, and a wig to hide shat she didn't change her hair. Naya [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this (including the leggings!) when asking questions to Fred.

Added DiffLines:

* SheCleansUpNicely: Fred does look a lot more conventionally attractive in a cheerleader outfit and with her hair redone. [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] when it turns out in the end, Fred was wearing a full cheerleading costume over her regular outfit (including flesh-colored leggings to cover her long pants and sleeves, and a ''wig'' to hide her regular hair under).

Added DiffLines:

The town is suffering from a string of bank robberies by cheerleaders. Kevin recognizes the colors of the skirts to be the same as the colors from the cheerleader uniforms at his and Fred's high school. In order to gain more evidence, Kevin enlists Fred to go undercover at the cheerleader tryouts and investigate what's going on.

!!Tropes:
* AcademicAthlete: Fred is ''incredibly'' athletic, especially for someone as nerdy as her. Fred was a skilled gymnast a couple of years prior, but quit because she was told to smile during her performance.
* CallBack: As Kevin notes that cheerleaders robbing banks is crazy, Fred is quick to point out the sentient mustache from [[Recap/HamsterAndGretelS1E6CloseShave the previous episode]].
* ClosetGeek: As it turns out, Naya and the rest of the cheerleader squad are fans of ''Yuko Cheerleading Warrior Attack 7'' just as much as Fred is.
* CrushBlush: Kevin's cheeks turn tomato red as Hiromi uses her own size to see if Fred would fit the cheerleading outfit Kevin was trying... popping up between his arms as Kevin still holds the cheerleading outfit.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Fred is given a chance to shine as she helps Gretel and Kevin investigate the cheerleaders.
* EvilTeacher: Coach Haggerty turns out to be the mastermind behind the bank robberies, using mind control on the cheerleaders to do her bidding.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: While Fred and Gretel are talking in the gym lockers, Hamster is in the background pulling out ridiculous stuff from one of the lockers.
* HiddenDepths: Fred shows herself to have incredible gymnastic skills and a fan of anime. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers She's also impervious to tickling.]]
* {{Irony}}:
** As she's defeated, Coach Haggerty proclaims in rage that she hates cheerleaders... yet she's a cheerleading coach who mind-controls the cheerleader squad and relies on their acrobatic skills to rob banks.
** Additionally, the mind control used on the cheerleaders breaks with loud, jarring, rhythmic sounds or music. In other words, the cheerleaders are "defeated" with cheerleader music. Sounds like Coach Haggerty [[DidntThinkThisThrough didn't quite think everything through]].
* MagicalGirlWarrior: The MagicalGirl anime Fred is into, ''Yuko Cheerleading Warrior Attack 7'' features superhero cheerleaders fighting a giant {{Kaiju}} at a football field.
* MindControl: Coach Haggerty uses a [[MindControlDevice special whistle]] (that she designed herself) to hypnotize the cheerleaders. She plans to [[MassHypnosis hypnotize the entire school]] and commit multiple bank robberies at once.
* MindControlEyes: Anyone hypnotized by Coach Haggerty's whistle will have rippling grey disks in their eyes.
* MindControlMusic: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Loud, rhythmic music ''breaks'' the mind control.
* NinjaProp: Twice during this episode, Gretel has to remove the "X Punch!" graphics that are still floating around after they've appeared.
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: Gretel tries to make Fred laugh by hitting Hamster with a PieInTheFace, but all Fred does is say "That was very funny" in her usual monotone.
