Karen builds a device in order to make herself huge, but it malfunctions and starts shrinking her. Only Diana is around to help, but she's helpless with technology!


Tropes:

  • All for Nothing: After all the trouble Diana goes through to buy the drive to save Karen, she turns out to have bought the wrong type because Karen said, "Eeeeeh!" on the communicator while being chased.
  • Call-Back: Karen is again trying to make herself bigger, which she was trying to do back in "#SheMightBeGiant".
  • Gift of the Magi Plot: Sort of. Lacking money, Diana isn't able to get the drive from the House of Hackers store, so she has to trade her sword for it. Unfortunately, she got the wrong-sized drive. When Karen is saved from shrinking too much, both she and Diana start to smash the faulty amplifier device, and Karen asks where Diana's sword is, as it'd be more fun to smash with it.
  • Hopeless with Tech: Diana preferred to use an abacus instead of her phone's calculator, as she can't figure it out. She keeps using old-school ways to save Karen, despite the code to undo it being incredibly simple, because Karen doesn't think she can handle it.
  • Incredible Shrinking Man: Karen, even more so than usual. After being big for a few seconds, she instantly shrinks to her Bumblebee size. Then she shrinks again, involuntarily. Each time she shrinks, there's a new predator, from a bird to a spider to an amoeba.
  • The Password Is Always "Swordfish": The code to undo the matter amplifier is "123". Diana is incredulous that's all it would've taken.
