Now, time for Nick to plug unhealthy food. Hey, at least try to balance out your ads for snack foods with, say, PSAs about exercising.
Wombat Hall again. Susie's singing for Beverly, and her voice has apparently improved since the opening scene. Beverly sez: "You're one of the quickest quick studies I've ever repped." And she's only repped the best... "let me tell you, I think you're gonna be one of them." Also, she has great news: "I have some people from 'Pouty Girl' records who want to hear you sing." Apparently in AGU!'s world, they're a major label, judging from Susie's enthusiasm. There's a hitch though: there's a studio and musicians to rent, so, she's going to need a thousand bucks. From Susie. Susie wants this big break so bad, so, she's going to be looking for ways to get the dosh. After all, Beverly is saying that money will not be an issue once she's a star... but what if she never does become a star, what then? Keep that in mind...
... as we head back to Tommy and Chuckie watching Pangboarn (who's supposed to be holding a mediation session in the courtyard as well) getting Punk'd by an ice cream machine in the cafeteria. They're running off, and Tommy is beginning to get nervous. I begin to wonder: did the writers just get together and say, "Hey, Chuckie's a major bore. Let's try to make him exciting!" or something like that?
Lockers. Kimi and Susie discuss the 1000 bucks. Susie can't possibly earn all that dosh, or ask her parents about it. Kimi has only 100 bucks: "That'll pay for a drumstick or two." "Hey, isn't your sister looking to buy a house?" Ka-ching! And with that, we have our only meeting with another Carmichael sibling, as of this writing: It's big sister Alisa. She's now (excuse the pun) all grown up, and married too.
Susie is promising Alisa that she'll pay back every cent plus interest as soon a she gets the deal. Alisa doesn't like the idea since she and someone named Ty (her husband, apparently, if KC's official AGU! site can be believed) have been saving up for a house. "Not as long as I've been your sister," adds Susie. Alisa decides, what the heck, and they head down to the bank. Oh, Susie's also asking for big sister's sequined halter top as well.
Before we continue, even KC doesn't know about any plans to include the Carmichael brothers in other stories, as under their entry it says: "No word on what the rest of Susie's siblings are up to, but perhaps we'll find out in future episodes!" Here's hoping that this Ty guy, I dunno, actually shows up in some future ep as well.
Sigh, Tommy and Chuckie again, this time in the copying room. Finster's making copies of his butt, and pointing out a mole shaped like Phil. And you thought that you'd only find this kind of flagrant behavior at the office! ;) Finster's planning on breaking into Slambang's office to hang this up. Tommy balks at the idea, but Finster makes this comment: "[I'm] free to carry on, always one step ahead of Slambang. I've never felt so alive!" Well, let's just say they're heading into Slambang's office alright... for a stern talking.
Nick sez, "We're gonna cram SpongeBob (or fill in other popular toon here) down your throats until you like it!" and intersperses this message with other junk. Now, back to the Wombat Hall. Again.
Susie is handing Beverly the money. Beverly sez, "It'll be worth every penny, you'll see," before handing her an address and time, and reminding her "This is your last day as the old Susie Carmichael. Tomorrow your life is going to change forever." At this point, you'd have to be pretty cynical to see what Susie's got coming.
Slambang's office. The threesome are dealing with Finster's blue streak. Tommy had been reckoning that he would chicken out before it got this far, but this proves not to be the case. Nope, Finster's saying, "Whatever you do, don't go easy on us." Slambang is recapping all the nasty things he's done in the past couple days, and mentions Chuckie's mole looking like Phil. While he's considering what punishment to lay down, he, uh, realizes he almost squashed a lady bug with a tape dispenser. Seriously. "What? You never seen compassion for animals before?"
While Finster is busy asking Slambang to get back to the topic of punishment, Slambang reveals another side of himself, and starts going on and on about how he writes poetry in his spare time. In the words of Dave Barry, I am not making this up. He even presents one he wrote called "Sugar Rainbows". Tommy is impressed and he's booking him for the upcoming talent night. Talk about callbacks. No punishment for Finster and friend just yet, tho.
