Recap / Totally Spies S 2 E 26 Starstruck

Go To

The spies investigate the vanishing of a famous actor and travel to Austria to defeat his kidnapper, Lenore.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: Lenore believes that Days of Our Spies is real, and nothing anyone says will convince her otherwise. Unfortunately for everyone, she has the tech to act upon her delusions.
  • Dirty Old Woman: The villain is Lenore, an Austrian woman who is obsessed with a famous American actor. She kidnaps him and aims to marry him. Problem is he's probably in his 30s and she looks to be in her 60s...
  • Embarrassing Ad Gig: The sub-plot involves Clover competing against Mandy for the next Happy Burger spokesmodel. The role ultimately goes to Mandy, which bums Clover out until she sees it's a billboard of Mandy wearing a massive hamburger suit. She even sees Mandy on the phone demanding to have it taken down.
  • Get Out!: The director throws the girls out of the studio while yelling "OUT!!" for causing destruction and ruining their actors.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The girls' attempts to stop Lenore from trashing the studio ruins Ace actor's hair and causes Sinestro's actor (the show’s Big Bad) to quit. And Clover’s attempts to suggest she become a Spotlight-Stealing Squad results in her character suffering a Bus Crash.
  • Not Now, Kiddo: For once, Jerry could barely care about the mystery in progress. The girls have to ask him to W.O.O.H.P. them and provide gadgets, and he refuses their calls when they’re legitimately endangered.
  • Shout-Out: A laser beam slowly moving up a table to cut a secret agent lengthwise? Someone’s been watching Goldfinger.
  • Strapped to an Operating Table: Lenore places Clover in one, and set a laser to slowly cut her in half. Sam and Alex were able to break free and shut off the laser when it nears Clover's crotch.
