Plot
Dynamite Salesman
The Great Unwashed (2002): A man left a briefcase full of explosives inside a car that’s on a conveyor belt smashing old ones. Jenny comes in and finds one of the cases unharmed, but goes back when the man asks for the other one. Unfortunately, it’s too late, and she gets hit, causing her to be very dirty.
Metallic Makeover
Don Prima is having a party and Brad gets invited, however Jenny is not because looks terrible. Later, Tuck suggests that Jenny ask her mom to fix her up, but she just got fixed. They see a garage that’s full of tough motor-ganglike workers and ask if they can help her, which they are more than happy too. Soon Jenny is fixed, with a fresh red paint job, flames on her feet and hair, red lipstick and airbrushed cheeks.
The school falls in love with Jenny’s new look and Don invites her to the party. This angers the Crust Cousins and they hatch a plan to make her look like garbage again.
The Mudslinger
They hire the Mudslinger to do the job, and he lures Jenny into an alleyway by crying out for help. He set up several traps to try to trash Jenny, while she dodges every single one of them. Soon the Mudslinger is cornered and threatens to shoot a puppy with his ink pen. Jenny saves the puppy, but the animal is really a bomb and her makeover is ruined. Enraged, she backs the villain into a corner by smashing a hammer against the wall and she is even more angry when it’s revealed Brit and Tiff hired him. The Mudslinger begs for mercy and admits he’s never been invited to a party either. Jenny gives him her invitation and he goes and crashes the party.
Mudslinger calls Don’s party boring and sprays everyone with his ink. Everyone is angry at the Crust Cousins because they believe they invited him to the party.
All's Wet That Ends Wet
Afterwards, Jenny is heard by Brad and Tuck who were on their way to the party. They then start a water fight and the men from the garage also join in, making everyone laugh and enjoy themselves. The episode ends here.
