Go To

It's movie night, and the Professor invites his new girlfriend, Sapna Nehru, to come watch the movie with them. She quickly gains the jealously of the girls, who decide to try and split them up. However, after seeing how miserable the Professor is without her, the girls try to fix their mistake, only to find that Sapna has a secret she's been keeping...


Tropes

  • Bittersweet Ending: The girls manage to save Townsville from Sapna's spider form, and she reconciles with the Professor. However, she decides to break off the relationship for fear of his safety. The end of the episode shows that he's trying to find a cure for her.
  • Blessed with Suck: Sapna isn't a malicious person by any means, but if she feels a strong love for something, it causes her to change into a giant, rampaging spider.
  • Foreshadowing: Well, if the name of the episode wasn't a giveaway already, Sapna's nice to a spider that crawls into the Utoniums' living room.
  • Imagine Spot: The girls have one, where the Professor abandons them in favor of Sapna, and they end up as homeless hermits. It's what makes the Girls decide to break them up.
  • Inelegant Blubbering: The Professor after Sapna dumps him.
  • Modesty Towel: A variant; when Sapna changes into a spider, it rips her clothing to shreds. When the girls manage to change her back, the webbing she still had on her legs wraps around her as she's rolling across the ground, creating a makeshift dress for her.
  • Mythology Gag: Buttercup still retains her fear of spiders from the original series.
  • Our Werebeasts Are Different: Sapna turns into a giant spider whenever she feels love.
