1For the first time in his life, Billy gets a "B" on a test in school! He's devastated as a result, which once again provides inspiration for Rita. She has Finster create a Grumble Bee monster to attack, exploiting his "B" grade dismay. With the rest of the team tied up on the basketball court, can Trini help Billy overcome his self-doubts?

3!Tropes
4* TheBGrade
5* BeeAfraid: Grumble Bee, though he's admittedly more comedic than most examples.
6* DemotedToExtra: Tommy only shows up in the ending scene due to his limited powers. He's only slightly bummed.
7* {{Irony}}: Billy got a "B" due to getting a bee question wrong.
8* KickTheDog: Bulk and Skull rub the grade into Billy's face.
9-->'''Bulk:''' "B" stands for bad. You know that, right?\
10'''Skull:''' Yeah, and "B" stands for Bulk also. Doesn't it?
11** And of course, Rita decides to make it even worse.
12* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: Rita's sole reason for using a bee-themed monster is to rub Billy's nose in it. As such, it crosses into EvilIsPetty.
13* OhCrap: Bulk says if he doesn't get a "C" on his next test, the six top students will have to tutor him the whole summer. Zack does a headcount and...
14* {{Pun}}: "See ya, wouldn't wanna 'B' ya!"
15* RippedFromThePhoneBook: Skull is doing this with his science book, much to Billy and Trini's horror.
16* ThisCannotBe: Watch Billy's expression when he first gets a B. This and a combination of the VertigoEffect make the scene unintentionally hilarious.
17* VerbalTic: Grumble Bee makes a buzzing sound whenever in motion.
