Recap / As Told By Ginger S 1 E 08 Cry Wolf

Go To

During a routine fire drill at school, Dodie accidentally tells Miranda that Ginger isn't allowed to shave her legs. Miranda uses this as blackmail to make Ginger do her homework and stay away from Courtney.

Meanwhile, Carl puts together an all-hair ensemble and becomes "Wolf Boy".

Tropes

  • Blackmail: The main plot centers on Miranda threatening to tell everyone that Ginger can't shave her legs if she doesn't do her homework and stay away from Courtney.
  • Dodgy Toupee: Carl makes his Wolf Boy costume by stealing the principal's hair pieces.
  • Exact Words: Lois doesn't allow Ginger to shave her legs, but as Carl points out, she didn't say that Ginger couldn't shave her ankles, so he uses an old razor he found to shave Ginger's ankles, so she can finally stop Miranda's blackmail.
  • I'll Never Tell You What I'm Telling You!: Dodie tells Miranda that Ginger would never tell anyone that she's not allowed to shave her legs only to realize that she just told her.
  • Must Make Amends: Dodie is determined to shave Ginger's legs in order to make up for the fact that she blabbed to Miranda and caused Ginger to be blackmailed by her.
  • Tranquil Fury: Macy is very calm when she calls Dodie a traitor for blabbing to Miranda about Ginger's "frizzy lizzies".
  • What the Hell, Hero?: When Dodie reveals that she blabbed to Miranda about Ginger's "frizzy lizzies", not only does Macy rightfully call her a traitor, but Ginger is understandably upset.
