The one with Jenny's blueprints.
In his latest love attempt, Sheldon steals Jenny’s blueprint to see if he can give her a love chip. However, the Cluster's leader Queen Vexus wants the blueprint too.
"Designing Women" contains examples of:
- Chekhov's Gun: Sheldon's present to Jenny, which he states to be a pencil sharpener, yet has a design so threatening and overly complicated, it could make Ratchet blush.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Nothing Jenny threw at Vexus phased her, being able to pinpoint each flaw in her weapons and countering them with ease. Jenny had to result to thinking outside the box with her weapons to even stand a chance, and had to scare her off with an entirely new invention of Sheldon's design.
- Imagine Spot: Sheldon has one of him and QT-2 dating, getting married, and having children.
- Love Makes You Dumb: This episode alone shows Shelden at his worst, as his love for Jenny lead to him stealing her blueprints trying to find a way to win her over, and his infatuation with Vexus' QT-2 form results in him loosing said plans to Jenny's main arch enemy.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands / Story-Breaker Power: Something Vexus lampshades herself during the ambush at the beginning of the episode, questioning how she is supposed to beat her when she can just pull some random gadget from her chassis and immediately ruin her plans.
- Not Now, Kiddo: Every time Sheldon tries to get Jenny's attention during the episode, he keeps getting interrupted with a "Not Now, Sheldon". Thing is, every time, it's usually when Jenny is doing serious hero work, so naturally she wouldn't have time to entertain him. The only time he was able to get a word in, it's to explain that Vexus stole Jenny's blueprints from him.
- Reduced to Dust: How Sheldon thinks the conversation between him and Jenny over losing her plans to Vexus would turn out, following Jenny giving him a smiling, understanding nod.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Vexus twice, once at the beginning as a "tactical retreat", and again at the end when Jenny equips herself with a new design never mentioned in her blueprints.

Oh, the things Jenny'll do for love....
The one with the Robot Wars.
Jenny is stuck serving as Tuck's entry for the hit robot combat competition "Robot Wars". It may be barbaric to her, but how can she say no to such a cute face like Tuck's?
"Robot Riot" contains examples of:
- Apologetic Attacker: Jenny during the preliminaries, given her personal feelings towards the competition.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Tuck's initial robot Little Dipper, going from Joke Character to Lethal Joke Character as its small size allows it to stealthy run up to Abomatron's cockpit and toss out the Cluster Drone piloting it.
- Everyone Has Standards: Jenny is against robot fighting for sport, and is extremely against Tuck's wishes in participating in Robot Wars at first.
- Hijacked by Ganon: Robot Wars: A national robot Blood Sport not unlike BattleBots. The final opponents of the Championship? The Cluster in specialized battle mechs.
- I Just Want to Be Special: Tuck's reasoning for entering the competition.
