Recap / The Powerpuff Girls 2016 S 01 Ep 32 Rainy Day

Go To

A thunderstorm keeps the girls indoors with nothing to do. Until Bubbles and Buttercup get the idea to play in the Professor's lab despite being told not to and against Blossom's objections. When she tries to stop them, Buttercup accidentally pushes her into a Time Dasher machine that changes Blossom into forms of different eras. Bubbles and Buttercup scramble to fix the problem before the Professor finds out.


Tropes:

  • Balloon Belly: Bubbles and Buttercup gain this when stuffing themselves with sandwiches to keep the Professor distracted while they tried to repair Blossom.
  • Cloneopoly: Blossom suggests that she and her sisters should play the board game "Oligopoly". Buttercup then quips that the reason board games have their name is because they're boring.
  • Failed a Spot Check: The Professor can't seem to see that Blossom has been changed despite it being glaringly obvious. It's only until he sees the cyborg Blossom that he realizes what's happened...after he asks her if she got a haircut first.
  • Forced Transformation: The Time Dasher keeps turning Blossom into something from a different time period such as a caveman, a philosopher, a knight, a call girl etc...
  • Offscreen Moment of Awesome: The professor apparently got Blossom back to normal, but we never actually see it.
  • Rain, Rain, Go Away: Somewhat the focus of this episode.
  • Shout-Out:
    • One of the invention Buttercup fiddles around with is a portal gun.
    • When Buttercup and Bubbles pass out after Prof assumes Blossom's blood sugar is low. They make the death rattle sound from The Grudge while also making faces of the victims of The Ring.
    • The Future Blossom looks like Robocop.
