Introducing Sheldon the stalker!
The one with the stalker crush.
A boy at Jenny's school, Sheldon, falls head-over-heels in love with her.
Attack of the 5 1/2 Geek contains examples of:
- Evil Counterpart: The Lonely Hearts Club gang for Sheldon. Both of them cause trouble because they were rejected by the woman they loved. Sheldon was himself brutally rejected by Jenny, and was offered membership, but still chose to save Jenny from them.
- Face–Heel Turn: Subverted. The Lonely Hearts Club Gang kidnaps Sheldon in a successful attempt to lure Jenny, who gets offended when they refer to him as her "boyfriend" and promptly chews Sheldon out for being a "crazy, loser, stalker geek." This obviously breaks Sheldon's heart, which moves the gang so much that they set him loose and vow to even let him join them when he graduates. However, Sheldon instantly turns on the gang and frees Jenny.
- Rescue Romance: Sheldon starts crushing on Jenny after she saves him from some bullies.

Fort Jenny!
The one with the snowball fight.
When Brad, Tuck, and Jenny are playing in the snow, an ambassador for the intergalactic robot empire, The Cluster, comes to Earth.
Doom With a View contains examples of:
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Tuck while he was messing around with the ambassador's headless body. The first thing he does while under its influence? Force Brad to make him a proper snow fort.
- Skewed Priorities: Jenny is focused on stopping the Cluster Ambassador at all cost, telling Brad and Tuck to not touch anything in the meantime. Brad is more concerned with having the best snow fort ever, and will gladly use the ambassador's disassembled body to do it. Even when the body regenerates trapping Tuck inside, he tells him to put the fort back to how it was before rather than show any worry for his brother.
- Weaksauce Weakness: The episode gives us an ambassador from Cluster Prime who is freaking huge, armed to the teeth (or in this case, pincers), and can reassemble his body after having it literally cut down. How do you beat such a tough opponent?Tuck: [as he's filing his nails] You know, I learned all kinds of interesting things while I was one with the robot. Here's one tiny tidbit: he's got an off button right on his back.
