Angelica is frantically hiding her zit from everyone. Her parents. Gym people. That boy she bumped into earlier in the ep. (Told you to note the boy.) "Some boy" tells Angelica that she'll be pointing a huge spotlight at her during her performance, yada yada. She also spends a lot of her time crying.
School auditorium. Here's the performance no one else signed up for. I think everyone else made a good call. "Breaking wind in the trees"? Drums? Chimes? Boring "artsy" dancing? Sounds like pathetic time filler O'Keats put together at short notice.
Pharmacy. Angelica is buying a bunch of zit cream. At the ice cream counter, Lil reckons, "This performance will make throwing up peas on the field trip bus look like the best day of my life." Tommy tells the trio to make an excuse to get out of it. Frustrated Chuckie's ice cream gets, well, chucked into the garbage and Phil goes after it :D
Angelica runs into the others with that big zit of hers, and (cutting through the filler) everyone's pointing to bad karma. Angelica doesn't buy it, especially from Dil. She pays for her cream. She sees Susie and tries to run... and the bags of her freshly-bought zit cream get caught in the automatic door and the cream spills all over. Angelica thinks Dil must be on to something.
School. Angelica refuses to do her big solo with that big zit of hers. Dil recommends astringent. Angelica claims that this is a karma dealie, and she also refuses to undo the bad thing she did and lose her solo. Anyways, she wants to get her hands on some primo karma ASAP.
Dil recommends telling Ryan Rodriguez (BTW, one of the auditioners for Angelica's spot) that he looks good in his tie. I dunno about the tie, but I'm getting a "Timmy Turner wearing Chuckie glasses" vibe from him. Last year's biggest slave to fashion won't do it, so alien boy demonstrates for her, and we get the first of several incarnations of the same motif, as the gym doors open causing the sun's light to bounce off the window and shine on Dil.
Dil is explaining the whole deal with the glowing light as "the fuzzy feeling you get when you do something good. Or when you clean out your ear with a cheese doodle." Why the heck would I wanna clean out my ear with a cheese doodle? Wanna bet Dylan loves eating Q-Tips?
Random street. Dil feeds parking meters. More Dil lightage from sunlight hitting a car window. At the rate he's racking up sunlight, alien boy needs some SPF 15 fast. Meanwhile, Angelica is getting nothing from feeding the meters, except for a cheese doodle.
Back in the auditorium, O'Keats is so proud of her trio. Meanwhile, unitarded Chuckie plans on getting out of his act with Phil.
Angelica gets back pain from carrying groceries for some geezer. Dil gets some lightage from opening her car's door. Angelica picks up trash in the park. Dil gets more lightage from picking up a singular wrapper. Angelica's trash flies all over. Angelica returns a puppy to a small boy. No lightage for Dil. Angelica's not taking any reward from small boy's dad... and she's not getting any lightage either. Just rain.
Angelica and alien boy. "I should get extra credit for good deeds because I don't even enjoy them." You don't deserve any credit when you don't even enjoy them, Angelica. "With all the karma goodies I've done today, tomorrow I should be ready for the show. Looking like my old self. Beautiful, talented and perfect." Dil: "And she thinks I'm two eggs short of a fertada." Your point is, alien boy?
If Angelica thought she'd be looking perfect, well, the next morning, she's not. Angelica, huge ugly zit has a few friends he'd like you to meet...
