The one with the fashion war.

Jenny and the Crust Cousins get into a fashion battle that Jenny takes too far.

"Victim of Fashion" contains examples of:

  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: Jenny having everything removed to become skinny as a beanpole to compete with the Crust Cousins making "thin" the new trend, even going so far as to say "It's better to be fashionable than functionable", has noticeable parallels to eating disorders.
  • Kitchen Sink Included: As Sheldon is dismantling Jenny's weapons and tools, among the items given emphasis in Sheldon's garage is a kitchen sink.
  • Shapeshifter Baggage: Tuck is sifting through Jenny's arsenal and discovers an object that opens up into nowhere. Notably the inversion is averted, as the episode also makes a plot point of the fact that Jenny can't make herself smaller or thinner.
  • Shout-Out: Tuck saves Jenny from the bikers in a Mini-Mecha à la Aliens: "Get away from her, you fish!"
