Carl and Hoodsey buy vanishing powder to see if they can make a classmate disappear, picking a girl they don't know called Noelle Sussman. However, Carl soon discovers that Noelle is possibly his soulmate.

!!Tropes:

* AscendedExtra: Noelle could be seen as a background character in previous episodes, and this one marks her getting to be a recurring presence and eventual love interest for Carl.
* ArtShift: We see a sombre DisneyAcidSequence whenever Ginger narrates her poem.
* AttentionWhore: Courtney gives herself a Goth makeover and pretends to be an EmoTeen in the hopes of getting the same attention for apparent mental health problems as Ginger.
* AuthorAvatar: PlayedForDrama. Everyone ''thinks'' the girl in the poem is one for Ginger, and start treating her differently. She does admit in the epilogue that she may have put a little of herself in there without realising.
* CloudCuckooLander: Noelle is an extreme oddball, and may even be weirder than Carl.
* CondescendingCompassion: Courtney possibly unintentionally tries to be compassionate to Ginger's apparent mental health problems, but it just comes across as condescending.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: The title refers both to Ginger's poem, and that Carl seemingly makes a girl disappear.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Lois making a cute joke about talking to the household appliances foreshadows that she'll be the one who makes Ginger feel better at the end.
* GilliganCut: Ginger bellows out to the sky "I am not depressed!" and then it cuts to her (and Carl) moping in the living room.
* GoldenMoment: Lois and Ginger have one, where the former reassures her daughter that she can always confide her feelings in her.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Dodie says that Ginger can let her and Macie know if she ever does feel like disappearing, but that just makes Ginger even more annoyed.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Dodie initially wants Ginger to write something about her.
* LonersAreFreaks:
** The girl in Ginger's poem "chose to walk alone" and just ended up disappearing one day. She's shown very tragically.
** Noelle is a very odd person and doesn't appear to have any friends at school.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's never said if the vanishing powder actually worked on Noelle. She does disappear the day after it's applied and, while it turns out she transferred to another school, this isn't revealed until after Carl has used the reversal potion.
* MoodWhiplash: Noelle and Carl look like they'll have a cute moment upon reuniting at the end, with romantic music and a HeldGaze...and then Noelle does an imitation of what her voice would sound like underwater.
* PetTheDog: Miranda notes in her own way that she would have gone easier on Ginger if she'd suspected she was having mental health problems. But then she does have to remind Ginger that "there are days when I wish you'd disappear".
* PsychologicalProjection: Ginger theorizes that her poem struck a nerve because ''everyone'' related to the main character in some way, and assuming she did was an easier way of coping with that.
* TheShrink: Dr Leventhal is of the 'well meaning but ineffective' variety. She speaks sternly to Ginger and seems to believe the worst in what she wrote. That being said, Ginger doesn't hate going to group therapy.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: Ms Zorski gets concerned by a twelve-year-old writing about a girl who disappears.
* VerySpecialEpisode: One of the few Nicktoons to ever deal with topics like mental health and suicidal ideation, in a child friendly way of course.
