Recap / Arthur S 13 E 5 The Great Mac Grady

Go To

When Mrs. MacGrady is diagnosed with cancer, Arthur and his friends behave differently to the news - Arthur and D.W. rush to her side with heaps of chicken soup and stuffed animals, Muffy tries to pretend that nothing in her life has changed, and Francine is so upset that she can not even bring herself to visit Mrs. MacGrady.

Tropes for "The Great MacGrady" include:

  • Foul Cafeteria Food: While Lakewood Elementary's cafeteria usually averts this, when Mrs. MacGrady was Out Sick (specifically with cancer), her nephew, Skip, who was her substitute, served food that looked and smelled bad and tasted bland.
  • Lethal Chef: Mrs. MacGrady's nephew, Skip, proves to be this when he takes over for his aunt when she has cancer.
  • Special Guest: Lance Armstrong makes a guest appearance as himself.
  • Very Special Episode: One that is about cancer.
