Recap / The Powerpuff Girls 2016 S 03 E 07 Cant Buy Love

Go To

After an accidental run-in (during a fight with Blossom), Princess Morbucks falls in love with Barry Mackerbacker. She spends copious amounts of time wooing him but he seems oblivious to her advances. When Blossom checks Barry's injured hand, Princess accuses her of trying to steal Barry, leading to a fight Blossom still isn't sure what started it.

This episode contains examples of:

  • Captain Oblivious: Two caps are worn here. Barry isn't aware that Princess is in love with him as he's pretty much a happy-go-lucky goof. Princess, on the other hand, thinks Barry is reciprocating the feelings after his cupcake pan gets upset and she thinks Barry called her "cupcake" as a term of endearment.
  • Humongous Mecha: Sort of. Princess mans a mecha about three times her size when she fights Blossom late in the episode.
  • I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: At the climax of the battle, Barry sees Blossom dazed and floored, so he runs to see if she's all right. Princess Morbucks mistakes this for being spurned, so she acquiesces to Blossom.
    Princess: I have a million reasons to hate you, Blossom. But this isn't one of them.
  • Unrequited Love: Hits Princess hard. Her posse, the Cash Money Crew, tell her to just bring her feelings out into the open to Barry.
