History Recap / MyLifeAsATeenageRobotS01E07TheReturnOfRaggedyAndroidTheBoy

* AnAesop: "Normal" is relative. Never deny [[BeYourself who you truly are]] just to fit someone else's idea of acceptable, or you may lose yourself in the process.
** If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. There's probably something wrong with it, or there's something to be expected in return.
** Welcome all customers to your business, as long as they don't disrupt it. If you discriminate them, you will drive people away and lose business.

* AnAesop: People have lives to live. They can't always be there for you, even if they're close friends.
** Don't call for help unless you seriously are in need of it. One way or another, [[ExactWords Tuck sure learns this lesson]] towards the end the hard way.

* BrokenAesop: Played with. The entirety of the episode's [[AnAesop moral]] is (on Jenny's part) how you shouldn't always enable those who [[CryingWolf ask for your help]] when it's not necessary. But after reading the ending of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" meant to teach her the consequences of proverbially crying wolf ([[DownerEnding a real wolf eats him]]), she's convinced she needs to come to Tuck's rescue in case something bad ''really'' happens. Nope! He was just calling Jenny to introduce Lon's pet wolf dog. [[DownplayedTrope Regardless]], Jenny heaps some [[LaserGuidedKarma consequences]] of her own onto Tuck, showing what she [[RageBreakingPoint really thinks]] of his constant [[FrivolousSummoning misuse of her good nature]].
** On another note, the episode earlier starts with Tuck trying to strong arm Jenny into permitting his FrivolousSummoning by setting up AnAesop that being a friend or a hero isn't about big grand acts, but also the small personal ones. While somewhat good on paper, the problem is that Tuck practically misuses Jenny's good nature to impress his other friends, counterintuitively teaching that small acts don't count for nothing if they're used continually. Not to mention there's a certain hypocrisy that he brings up friendship when, really, friendship should be a two-way street.

-->'''Jenny:''' "Gets a ticket", huh?

* BondOneLiner: Towards the climax, Jenny starts to fight back the suit's influence, though it doesn't give her up without a fight. At one point of the scuffle, the suit tries spouting more of its manipulative reasoning by saying "You're just a girl, it's not normal for girls to save boys." To this, just before using the ChekhovsGun to free herself, Jenny defiantly responds "Well it's normal for ''this girl'' to save anyone!"

* PreMortemOneLiner: Jenny when she is about to destroy the suit.
-->'''Jenny:''' Well, it's normal for ''this'' girl to ''save everybody!''

* {{Irony}}: Tuck starts screaming for help when Jenny chases him at the end.

* AnAesop: People have lives to live. They can't always be there for you. Get a babysitter if you're kids are always in need.

** Welcome all customers to your business, especially if they don't make trouble. If you discriminate them, you will drive people away and lose business.

** Welcome all customers to your business. If you discriminate, even once, you will drive people away and lose business.

** Don’t call for help unless you seriously are in need of it. Tuck sure did learn this lesson the hard way.

* UngratefulBastard: Even after Jenny saves everyone from the Space Bikers, Mr. Mesmer blames her for his diner being destroyed, even though it was the bikers fault, and firmly claims "no robots allowed". Subverted with Brad and all the customers, who appreciate Jenny for saving them and walk out of the diner in disgust for how Mr. Mesmer treated her.

* TheBusCameBack: The Exo-Skin was first worn by Jenny in the episode [[MyLifeAsATeenageRobotS1E2RaggedyAndroidClassAction “Raggedy Android”]]. Where it was blatantly rushed, and resembled a life-sized Ragdoll.

-->'''Jenny:''' "Gets a ticket", huh?
* ValuesDissonance: In earlier episodes, Jenny has a habit of "disciplining" bratty children by ''[[DisproportionateRetribution using her weapons on them]]''. This particular episode ends with her chasing Tuck with laser beams for CryingWolf. [[RuleOfFunny Harmless slapstick]] back in 2002, but nowadays would be seen as making light of child abuse, which isn't taboo per se, but is seen as jarring ComedicSociopathy, better fitting an AnimatedShockComedy.
