Aggie, the Squashinator, wants revenge on Craig for besting her in Capture the Flag.


Tropes:

  • Blood from the Mouth: Kid-friendly version: Aggie coughs up her red juice after failing to draw Slide.
  • Freeze-Frame Ending: The episode ends with a shot of Kelsey hitting Aggie with her PVC sword.
  • Hands in Pockets: Craig has trouble drawing horse's legs, so on the new banner for the Candy Bar, he covers them up with mountains. Aggie hassling him about it leads to him accepting her challenge.
  • Hidden Depths: Aggie turns out to be an excellent artist, especially considering she only started studying how to draw the previous week.
  • I Let You Win: Justified. Aggie challenges Craig to an arm-wrestling match to prove she's better than him, but because she's way stronger than Craig and he doesn't really care about the challenge and just wants to move on, he doesn't even try to put any effort in it and quickly loses. Aggie isn't amused that Craig didn't even try to beat her.
  • I Resemble That Remark!: Aggie accidentally tears the paper as she's drawing Craig's portrait and tries to pass it off as the mouth. As Craig complains that his mouth doesn't look like that, his mouth is drawn to look like the torn hole.
  • Narrative Shapeshifting: When offering to show Craig some tips on how to draw horses, Aggie morphs her hand into a horse. Craig and J.P. both react with shock.
  • Symbolic Blood: When she's having difficulty keeping up with Craig in the final round of the contest, Aggie coughs up her juice like she's coughing up blood from an intense battle.
  • Victory Is Boring: Aggie challenges Craig to arm wrestling, and Craig agrees just so she can get off his back. Craig is beaten easily — too easily, which upsets Aggie because she wanted more of a challenge.
