Recap / All Grown Up S 1 E 13 Lucky 13

Go To

Angelica is going to be 13! She will officially leave the preteens' world to become a real teenager! She's going to organize a huge party for this event, and, unfortunately, Savannah is organizing a huge party the same day! The worst of it, is that nobody wanted to go to Angelica's party... She's very sad. Will her birthday be good after all?

Tropes:

  • Bathroom Stall of Angst: Angelica runs out of the cafeteria and into the girls' restroom to cry after finding out that Savannah hasn't rescheduled her spring bash.
  • Big "WHAT?!": Angelica has this reaction to seeing an invitation for Savannah's spring bash, dated for the same day as the former's birthday party.
  • Birthday Episode: The episode is about Angelica's 13th birthday.
  • Double-Meaning Title: The episode is not only about Angelica's 13th birthday, but it's also the 13th episode of the show and it aired on Rugrats' 13th anniversary.
  • Heartbreak and Ice Cream: Non-romantic example. Angelica cries and eats out of a carton of ice cream provided by Harold after he and Susie tell her about Savannah's spring bash.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: While Tommy's friends' (especially Phil's) blunt adamant refusal to attend Angelica's party when they learn that everyone has chosen Savannah's party over hers was a bit cold, they weren't entirely unjustified due to how nasty Angelica was and still often is to them. Phil even makes a valid point that Angelica never even wanted to invite him and the others in their friend group to begin with.
  • Not Me This Time: Tommy tricks Savannah into cancelling her spring bash by lying and saying that her favorite mascot is doing a meet and greet at a pet store on the same day as revenge for trying to ruin Angelica's party. Savannah is furious when she realizes she was tricked and blames Angelica for it.
    Angelica: Sounds like something I'd normally do but amazingly didn't.
