Recap / The Powerpuff Girls 2016 S 01 Ep 03 The Stayover

Go To

Blossom and Buttercup awake one morning with headaches, their house trashed, a bull making breakfast in their kitchen, and no sign of Bubbles. They eventually recall the night before; They had a slumber party with their friends, which was meant to lead into a trip to a water park the next day, but binged too much on candy and got a sugar rush. Now they need to retrace their steps and find Bubbles before the Professor comes back to come pick them up for the water park.


Tropes

  • Dragged into Drag: Mojo Jojo suffers this when the girls, hopped up on sugar, pull him into the party, put him in a dress, and put make up on him (though he admits he likes the fingernails).
  • Inelegant Blubbering: Some bullfighters did this after the bull went missing.
  • Involuntary Smile of Incapacitation: During a flashback, Buttercup (who is drunk on sugar) defeats a bull and the audience throws roses at her. She grins, comments that it's raining roses, and falls backwards.
  • Names to Run From Really Fast: With the exception of the pineapple, the toppings on Mojo Jojo's "tainted pizza" are meant to evoke this ("Forbidden artichokes of the Sahara", "Transylvanian cursed pepperoni" and "Broccoli of the doomed").
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Mojo Jojo tries to crash the slumber party via a pizza man disguise, but nobody falls for it. Not even the camera who he's speaking to, which pulls away from him as he's explaining his plan.
  • Running Gag: The orphans that end up affected in some way or another by the girls' sugar rushed antics the previous night. They make it up to them by giving them the tickets to the water park.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: Blossom and Buttercup zip through town trying to find Bubbles, only to find out she was still at the house the whole time, having crashed on the downstairs couch under a blanket after the sugar rush wore off.
  • Something We Forgot: Jojo's still in the closet at the end of the episode.
  • What Did I Do Last Night?: The episode starts with Blossom and Buttercup recovering from their sugar rush high, and seeing their place in shambles... and a bull in their kitchen.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: A monster calls out Blossom and Buttercup for their actions the previous night, as he wasn't trying to destroy the bridge; He was actually part of the construction crew fixing the bridge.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: The other girls at the sleepover aren't mentioned at all after the flashback, though it's possible they went home before Blossom and Buttercup woke up.
  • Whole-Plot Reference: To The Hangover, albeit in a more kid-friendly manner.
