Some familiar old faces.
The one with the Legion of Evil.
Vladimir, Mudslinger, Lancer, and the Mad Hammer Brothers form a group they call the "Legion of Evil" and plan together to destroy Jenny.
"The Legion of Evil" contains examples of:
- Attack Pattern Alpha: Vladimir has different attack plans that all actually work against Jenny.
- Badass Normal: Brit, Jeremy, and Sully all band together to help Jenny take down the Legion of Evil. Granted, Sully and Jeremy had to threaten Brit into helping, but she still pulls her weight quite effortlessly.
- Bullying a Dragon: Invoked, Lancer attacks Jenny shortly after his release knowing she can still effortlessly kick his tin-can six ways from Sunday. It was all a ploy to smuggle tools into the prison to enact Vladimir's escape plan.
- Improvised Weapon: Tiff knocks out Lancer with Cleopatra's Pillow (a huge diamond), Sully buries Mudslinger with his belly button lint, and Jeremy blinds The Mad Hammer Bros. with the fumes from his spray cans.
- Legion of Doom: The titular Legion of Evil. Parodied in that instead of Jenny's most dangerous villains like Vexus and Dr. Locus, they're all a bunch of B-List villains Jenny isn't even concerned about.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: An Alpha Bitch, an anarchist, The Pig-Pen, and a walking Swiss-Army Weapon are banded together by a school project, and are ultimately the ones to take down The Legion of Evil.
- Random Number God: In order to equally pair students up for a history project, Jenny plays the roll of a random number generator that rolls out numbers she refuses to fix. Brad thanks Jenny for pairing him up with the smartest nerds in class while Brit curses her out for pairing her with a bunch of lowlives. Jenny had to state twice over that it was entirely random.
- Took a Level in Badass: When he first appeared, Mudslinger was just a normal reporter that deals in libel and has an array of gadgets to literally get the dirt on people. Here, he now has supernatural abilities over the earth.
- Ungrateful Bitch: Tiff tries to flee after Jenny saves her, Jeremy, and Sully from the Legion of Evil. Jeremy and Sully keep her from leaving and blackmail her to force her to help them give Jenny some needed assistance.
- Villain Team-Up: Vladimir, Mudslinger, Lancer, and The Mad Hammer Bros. all work together to try and take down Jenny after meeting in a prison-endorsed knitting club.

And thus, a meme was born!
The one with the fake relationship.
Sheldon tries to make Jenny jealous by paying a girl at their school (Pteresa) to be his girlfriend.
"The Price of Love" contains examples of:
- An Aesop:
- Don't judge a book by its cover.
- Popularity can only last for so long, then it'll all go downhill once you're out in the real world.
- Future Loser: What Pteresa, the Crust Cousins, and their other popular friends end up becoming in twenty years, while a "loser" like Sheldon ends up becoming a successful billionaire.
- Laser-Guided Karma: Popular people don't win in the end, Pteresa, as you and your friends will learn the hard way in 20 years.
- Operation: Jealousy: Sheldon tries this by paying Pteresa to pretend to be his girlfriend, hoping this will make Jenny realize she loves him. The charade ends up costing him everything he owns, even his clothes. And the saddest part is that it actually kind of works! At the end of the episode, Jenny privately admits to herself that she's missed having him around and that she might actually be interested in a Relationship Upgrade. Of course, her hearing's been really messed up all episode, so when she goes to talk to Sheldon about it, she thinks she hears him say that he's too good for her now, when really he was saying exactly the opposite. Cue her storming off in a huff.
- Pyrrhic Victory: Pteresa's extortion plan towards Sheldon works, but it's shown that the rest of her life is nothing to smile about, while Sheldon is rich.
- Stripping Snag: Sheldon ends up having to sell everything but his underwear at a Garage Sale to pay Pteresa back. After Sheldon confesses to Jenny that he paid Pteresa to date him and make her jealous, a furious Jenny walks away from him. Sheldon tries to catch up with her, but his underwear gets caught in the front door, which ends up ripping it off and leaving him naked.
- Tempting Fate: After taking most of Sheldon's money, Pteresa tells Sebastian and the Crust Cousins that popular people always win over the "nerds" in the end. 20 years later, the popular kids end up becoming Future Losers while the nerds, like Sheldon, end up having successful futures.
