Watch Angela Anaconda Season 2 in Australia

Vicious Cycle An annual bike race is an event that could easily bring a smile to Angela's face. However, Angela is stuck with hand-me-down bikes from her goofy brothers while Nanette rides the best bikes that money can buy. Angela is doomed to another humiliating defeat. That is until Angela finds a wallet stuffed with two hundred dollars. Of course, Angela would normally turn in a lost wallet but two hundred is a magical number. Two hundred is the prize money for winning the race and two hundred is the cost of a new bike. The logical choice is, buy a new bike and win the prize money, then replace the wallet money with said prize. Angela hides the wallet until she can put her plan into action. In the mean time, Angela's father, Bill, has refurbished Angela's old bike. He would have bought her a new one except he lost his wallet...filled with two hundred dollars! Angela realizes it was Bill's wallet she found only it's too late. She herself has lost it. Now Angela has no choice but to win the bike race in order to replace her father's money. To Catch a Thief Someone is robbing the Manoir Manor of their precious trinkets. Tapwater Springs jumps into action, immediately calling for the formation of a neighbourhood watch. A leader is needed to head the initiative and Angela happily volunteers her father Bill, who chooses Angela as his partner in crime fighting. Angela sees this as a chance to establish herself as the town's greatest crime fighter. The only trouble is, crime suddenly appears scarce in the small town, and Angela is forced to fight off boredom instead. Suddenly, something happens. Angela is unsure of what the something is, but while using her father's spy-noculars, she spots a happening at the Manoir mansion. Angela climbs through Nanette's bedroom window, honing in on the criminal element. Unfortunately, as Angela enters, the seemingly miniature crook disappears. Nanette accuses Angela of being the Tapwater Springs crook, and Angela must prove her innocence. She does so, revealing that Oo-La-La, Nanette's precious purebred French poodle, has been treating Manoir heirlooms like common bones!

French Connection Angela is anticipating the arrival of an exchange student from Europe who is to stay with her family. She imagines the girl will turn out to be just like the sister she has always dreamed of, but it turns out that Cici is from France and is the total embodiment of all things French. Angela is disappointed to discover that her fantasy sister has more in common with real life nemesis Nanette. Instead of letting this coincidence get her down, Angela decides to use Cici to her advantage. With Cici's help, Angela hopes that Nanette's French façade can finally be exposed, only Angela's schemes hardly ever go according to plan, and Nanette and Cici become fast friends. Cici even invites Nanette to a slumber party. Imagine Angela's surprise when she walks into her bedroom to find January, Karlene and Nanette pillow fighting on top of her very own bed! Angela has had quite enough of her exchange school sister and wants to trade her in. Luckily, Nanette has been hiding a Dutch exchange student at the Manoir mansion who has too much in common with Angela, and for the first time in history, they agree on something...switching exchange students! The List A freak fire sprinkler accident has turned the halls of Tapwater Springs Elementary into an ice rink. Angela and friends struggle their way to class over ice covered floors. Eager to show off the special shoes her father invented, Angela glides to class like a world class skater. Her graceful poise comes to an abrupt stop when she falls flat on her derrière. Twice! Angela is triply humiliated when everyone decides to crack jokes at her expense. Angela is furious and she decides to get even by creating a list of everything about everyone else that annoys her. With this list, Angela will be prepared with a response for any insult that comes her way. But the next thing to come her way is a peace offering from her friends. They are proud of the seemingly great way she handled their good-natured ribbing. No longer angry, Angela tosses away the list only to have it promptly discovered by Nanette who sees the list as an opportunity to blackmail Angela into slavery. It seems that only the truth shall set Angela free.

A Bug Responsibility Angela finds herself flushing the class goldfish down the toilet. This is not the first goldfish that has passed on to the bowl in the sky while in her care. Angela vows to never act as caretaker to any animal, ever again. That is until Josephine convinces Angela to watch over an insect orphanage. She sees this as an opportunity to repent for her past animal failures. Angela does everything she can to make sure Josephine's bugs live a safe and luxurious life. Her parents do not share the same love for bugs though, and hire an exterminator to get rid of the fleas that have begun to plague the family dog. Full aware of the trouble she could get into, she is forced to bring the critters to school to save them from certain extinction, but her attempts prove futile and Angela is faced with a lifetime of eraser duty. It appears as though Angela has failed once again when the bugs are discovered and tossed out a window. But Josephine reveals that once the bugs were set free, they were able to blossom into dignified members of bug society. Pogo-A-Go-Go The Tapwater Springs Elementary School annual handstand fundraiser is fast approaching. Angela practices her technique with great enthusiasm, preparing to win this year as she has in years past. But alas, her hopes are dashed when Mrs. Brinks changes the charitable event from a handstand competition to a pogo contest. The whole school, with the exception of Angela, welcomes the change. For years, Angela has been concealing the fact that she is the only person in Tapwater Springs who is unable to pogo, until Nanette uncovers her secret. Not only does it appear that Nanette will be the pogo queen, but thanks to her fare-haired nemesis, all of Tapwater Springs is aware of Angela's humiliation. She has no choice but to learn how to pogo and beat Nanette at her own game. On the day of competition, Angela finds a hole in the rules, and uses two pogo sticks instead of one! Angela proves, in her unique way, that she can pogo after all!

Snow Mercy Angela playfully throws a snowball Johnny's way. Not only does it hit an unreceptive Johnny, but it bounces off of him and hits Nanette too. Nanette vows to seek revenge, and Johnny vows snowball retaliation. His aim proves horrific when he ends up hitting Gina's pizza instead of Angela. Now that Gina is an unwilling participant of the snow war, Angela decides to defend Gina and her pizza's honour. Angela and Johnny build snow forts and prepare themselves for battle. Johnny reveals he has a secret weapon-Nanette! In order to get revenge, Nanette has enlisted Karlene and January to help Johnny win the snowball fight. Angela turns to Gina for help, but Gina's advice soon backfires and Angela gets bombarded with snow. It turns out Gina has been helping Johnny too. Gina could never say "no" to Johnny because he's her friend too. Just when it appears as though everyone has betrayed Angela, Nanette soon proves to be the real manipulator of mayhem. It is then that Nanette becomes their preferred target! Be-Trayed Someone at Tapwater Springs Elementary has violated the school "dump your food, not your tray" policy. Nobody may leave the cafeteria until somebody confesses to the crime. Everyone pleads innocence and the kids are held hostage for what seems an eternity. Boredom sets in and Angela cracks and confesses to the lunchtime crime, even though she is truly innocent. When all the other children are sent to art class, Angela's sacrifice for her friends and classmates is recognized, and she is seen as a hero. She remains a martyr of sorts until Nanette rationalizes that Angela was and is the only person capable of the crime. Now Angela has no choice but to confess that her first confession was a lie. This in turn outrages Mrs. Brinks who brings everyone back to the cafeteria where they are to stay until the real criminal confesses. The real criminal never does confess, but the truth is eventually exposed. Nanette is forced to admit to her criminal ways when traces of paté are found on exhibit 'A' - the lunchroom tray.

Earhart's Heirloom Angela has been on her best behavior for the past twenty-nine days. Mrs. Brinks has promised that if the class is trouble-free for one whole month, she will show them the compass that once belonged to flying ace Amelia Earhart. The day has finally arrived, and everyone, especially Angela, is extra careful not to upset Mrs. Brinks. Angela concentrates so hard at being good that she forgets she's chewing gum! When it is discovered, Mrs. Brinks refuses to show the class the compass. In order to get back on Mrs. Brinks' good side, Angela and the gang plan a surprise birthday party for Mrs. Brinks who is so thrilled she agrees to show them the compass. Unfortunately, while Mrs. Brinks is showing her treasured compass Nanette "accidentally" bumps into Angela who in turn knocks the compass out of Mrs. Brinks' hand. Mrs. Brinks is outraged until Gina discovers that the compass is a fake that was made in Taiwan only a few years ago. It was all just a trick to get the children to behave! Ancient Greeks When the students in Angela's class have to give a presentation about the Ancient Greeks, .Angela picks Hercules on account of he was the greatest ancient Greek. Nanette however has written an entire play of which she wants to cast and direct the class in to perform for the parents. Angela hopes to play Hercules but Nanette casts her in the part of Medusa. Angela decides to make the best of things, just like Hercules would. At the rehearsals she reads her part with very funny sssssnake ssssssounds and has the entire class in stitches. Nanette is not impressed and re-casts Angela in the part of Apollo. On the night of the performance Angela steals the show when she loses her balance and drops the heavy globe she is carrying on her shoulders. Nanette is furious that Angela has ruined her show but the audience all thinks that Angela was the best part!

Brinks of No Return Today is a good day because an after-school snack awaits Angela. When finally the school bell rings, Angela rushes out to meet her mother. A few hours go by and Angela is still without snack because she is still at school awaiting her mother's arrival. Just then, Mrs. Brinks arrives with good news. Geneva is fine but her car has broken down. Angela is to go with Mrs. Brinks to the Brinks' Household. Okay, so maybe the good news isn't so good and Angela's good day has definitely turned bad. Angela will not only be spending the afternoon with Mrs. Brinks, but husband Connie too. And, Mrs. Brinks at home is just like Mrs. Brinks at school - a bullying tyrant! She even goes as far as punishing Angela and Connie for not knowing where a pimento loaf is. When it seems Angela's day couldn't get any darker, Nanette shows up for afternoon tea. Angela must flee if freedom is to be hers. With the help of Connie, an escape is quickly made. It just might turn out to be a good day after all. Operation Ringside Sunday afternoon and the kids fill the day and their stomachs with day old Abatti pizza. Everyone, that is, except Gordy Rhinehart. Gordy has spent a month's worth of Sundays without his father. Coach Rhinehart has been pre-occupied with something, but what that something is no one knows. And Gordy is having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the something in his father's life might be more important then Gordy himself. Suddenly, a wrestling commercial featuring the Masked Menace appears on television. Various clues from said commercial lead Angela to believe Coach Rhinehart has taken to a double life in the squared circle. In order to prove her wrestling theory, Angela and friends go ringside with hopes of unmasking the Masked Menace and revealing him to be Coach Rhinehart. Then they will force him to give up this other life. There's just one catch - the Coach hasn't wrestled in years. He's been coaching the Masked Menace in an effort to raise money for Gordy's figure skating lessons. Even when father and son are apart, their thoughts are with each other.

Eating With the Enemy Bill has just won the Annual Tapwater Springs Inno-ventor contest with his spectacular, accidental invention, the Food Rejuvenator 3000. And thanks to Angela's big mouth, Howell Manoir, is interested in investing in the device. Bill invites the Manoirs over for dinner so he can promote the Rejuvinator and negotiate a contract. Bill is positive that this could be his chance to make a lot of money and goes to great lengths to make sure everything is perfect for the meal. Angela is to be on her best behaviour. The Manoirs arrive and manage to insult with every compliment they give. Poor Geneva is at her breaking point. As for Angela, when she learns that Nanette has to be on her best behaviour, she manipulates the situation to make Nanette do whatever she wants. Nanette, of course, turns things around to her advantage and soon Angela is miserable again. Bill watches the evening unfold and decides that maybe money is not what he wants. Especially if it means the Anaconda family will start to resemble the Manoirs. Brocc-Fest It is the annual Tapwater Springs Broccoli Festival and the children are made to enter a broccoli poster-making contest. Angela is not happy. Firstly, everyone knows Nanette is going to win the contest, so what's the point?! Secondly, Angela hates the bushy green, which makes creating a poster in celebration of it even harder. Luckily, Angela discovers that Baby Lulu has a broccoli shaped head. Angela uses Baby Lulu as inspiration and creates a poster of the cutest broccoli anyone in Tapwater Springs has ever seen. To her amazement, Angela wins the contest while poor Nanette is runner up. Angela becomes the "keeper of the broccoli" and must give a speech extolling its virtues in front of the whole town. This forces her to find a way in which she can appreciate the funky florets or give up her title. However, in doing that, Nanette would become the "keeper" and letting Nanette win is almost as bad as the vegetable itself.

All For One Today is Nature Survival Day and the kids are taken on a field trip to the woods where they will partake in a character building obstacle course. On top of this, the kids are to give themselves a goal that they hope to accomplish by day's end. Angela's goal is to help every member of whichever team she is grouped with. Luckily, she is grouped with her closest friends. That is until Nanette shows up and is put on Angela's team. Nanette manipulates Gordy, Gina and Johnny to get herself elected as team captain. For the good of the team, the friends must also carry countless pieces of Nanette's heavy, back-breaking luggage as they trek through the forest's obstacle course. Of course, Nanette proves to be an inadequate leader and manages to get the troop lost. With her friends overcome with fear, it is left to Angela to save the day. It just so happens that Angela has left behind a trail of Nanette's useless luggage. Angela's trail leads them back to civilization and Angela achieves her goal. She did indeed help everyone on her team, even Ninnie-poo. Uncle Nicky's Midlife Crisis While the gang prepares to race Gina's turtles, a distraught Uncle Nicky distracts them. It seems Uncle Nicky has picked today to realize that he is getting old. Too busy with turtles to deal with his mid-life crisis, the gang offers little sympathy until Uncle Nicky offers the kids a lift in his car. Soon Uncle Nicky wins the kids over with his cool ways and the purchase of some ice cream. Uncle Nicky is allowed to partake in the children's afternoon of fun and frivolity. When it becomes apparent that what makes Uncle Nicky cool is also what makes him terribly obnoxious, the gang is forced to find a way to ditch him. Angela comes up with a hide and seek plan. It fails. She comes up with another plan involving dolls. This plan fails too. Finally, she comes up with a "work" plan but that only succeeds in leaving her alone with Uncle Nicky. Angela's friends sacrifice her in order to get away from him. Angela must convince Uncle Nicky that life as an adult is better then life as a child or her own childhood could be ruined forever!

Oh the Humanatees Today is the day of the annual Save The Manatees Auction. The residents of Tapwater Springs sell and buy each other's junk with great enthusiasm. Angela has been saving up to buy a space helmet that once belonged to Astronaut Bob. Unfortunately, Nanette outbids Angela and gets the helmet. Fortunately, and amazingly, Astronaut Bob shows up and offers himself for auction. Angela is the only one with any money left and wins one whole day with her space hero. Not one to be outdone, Nanette schemes her way into Astronaut Bob's heart and manages to thwart any and all of Angela's attempts to have fun. Nanette even goes as far as having her father Howell bribe Bob into having dinner with them and ditching Angela. Will Angela's hero betray her? Well, this is the Angela Anaconda show and Bob better not get on her bad side if he knows what's good for him. In a Pepper Pickle Angela has unscrewed the cap of the peppershaker in order to play a devious trick on her brothers over breakfast. The pepper prank backfires and Angela winds up with pepper up her nose. The only way to get it out is to scratch it out. Unfortunately, "scratching" is a euphemism for "picking", which means Angela will have to do her "scratching" in private so as not to be made fun of. Angela searches for a private place to rid herself of the pepper. Angela rushes behind a tree, but Jimmy Jamal is there writing in his diary. Angela is assumed to be snooping on him. Angela rushes to the washroom but Nanette and her clone club soon enter the room in deep discussion. Angela is assumed to be snooping on them. In fact, wherever Angela goes, someone else is there and assumes Angela is spying on them. The more Angela concentrates on her nose, the more she is thought of as nosy. The only way to clear this misunderstanding is to clear her nose. Will our heroine ever sneeze? Only the nose knows!

Boo-Who? It's nearing Halloween. Angela has hesitations because she is worried Geneva will create an embarrassing costume for her to wear like in years past. While eating breakfast for dinner, Angela reads on the back of her cereal box that she can purchase an Astro Nutties "Astro Nut" costume for a low price. She saves her pennies and cereal box tops until finally she has enough for the factory made creation. There's only one problem, Geneva has already made a "Happy Hoppy Bunny" costume of which she is very proud. On Halloween night, in order to avoid hurting Geneva's feelings, Angela wears the "bunny" costume...until she gets outside. Once outside, Angela changes into her "nut" costume. Her friends think Angela's costume is incredibly cool. Nanette decides to get Angela into trouble by exposing the costume charade to Geneva. But Geneva doesn't get angry at all. She's actually thrilled that the "nut" costume earned Angela plenty of trick-or-treat candy. Mother and daughter enjoy their sweets as Nanette seethes, angry that she was unable to ruin Angela's fun. The Haunting of Angela Anaconda It's nearing Halloween and the search is on to find the perfect garage to build a haunted house. Angela's garage wins because it is the darkest, the scariest-and quite frankly, the cleanest! The gang prepares for their spook-fest but prove ill prepared when Angela's brothers try and scare them. Only Angela knows better then to fall for Mark and Derek's silly tricks and shoos them on their way. Finally, the haunted house is ready for neighborhood tours. As the kids enter, one by one, it becomes clear the Anaconda haunted house isn't your run of the mill carnival ride. It's really haunted! Eeerie sounds come from the walls. The lights flicker with nobody at the light switch. Someone is even playing the piano, with no piano in sight. Angela is convinced her brothers are trying to scare them again. Her friends are positive it's a ghost and leave poor Angela alone to fight the so called demon herself. Luckily, the demon turns out to be a raccoon and Angela's house is spook free after all.

The Lion, The Witch, And The Weasel The best thing about field trips is that you're not in school. And when you're not in school you don't have to do any assignments. This is Angela's logic and why, as the class leaves for the Tapwater Springs Zoo, she is happy. That is until Nanette suggests to Mrs. Brinks that the class do an assignment on a zoo animal. To make matters worse, Nanette gets to do her assignment on the lion, which is the animal Angela wants. Angela is stuck with the weasel, a weasel that hasn't been seen since 1987! How is Angela supposed to do a report on an animal she can't even see? Angela must think of a way to lure the weasel out of its hole. She tries to win over the weasel with reason, and fails. She tries trickery but that fails too. As time goes by, Angela wants nothing more then to eat and figures maybe that's what the weasel wants too. Sure enough, the weasel pops out of its hole when tempted by Nanette's nuts. And when the zookeeper gets angry that an animal was fed, Nanette gets the blame, because after all, they were her nuts. Hey, field trips are great things! Curse Of the Mummy The gang is on another field trip, this time to the local museum. An exhibit on ancient Egypt is clearly the most exciting. Nanette gets so excited over ancient gold, she knocks Angela into a Mummy. The Mummy topples onto Angela. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, except in this instance the Mummy is cursed. Since Angela touched the Mummy, everyone assumes that she is cursed too and wants nothing to do with her. Only Johnny, Gordy and Gina believe that their pal is curse free. They all agree to help Angela. But all too soon Angela is hit with some unfortunate coincidences, AKA bad luck, and her friends desert her too. If her life seems like it couldn't get any worse, it does. Angela is partnered with Nanette to do a science project. Nanette gets enraged over this turn of events and while throwing a fit, bumps into Angela. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad thing, except in this instance Angela is cursed. Since Nanette touched Angela the curse passes on to her. Now it is Nanette who everyone stays away from!

No Thanksgiving Gina invites Angela to the annual Thanksgiving Lash Bash. Angela declines. The Anaconda household believes Thanksgiving is for family and so with her family Angela will stay. And though Angela loves her family, she does not enjoy spending Thanksgiving with them. The Anacondas have never had a successful Turkey Day no matter how hard they've tried. However, this year, they've decided to try harder. Each family member will concentrate on making the perfect Thanksgiving dish. Angela gets to be in charge of helping. Things start out smoothly, until Nanette briefly appears, coughing up a storm. Nanette parts and all Anacondas but Angela come down with the stomach flu! Thanksgiving is ruined again. Angela decides to crash the Lash Bash but Gina will not permit Angela in. Angela is contagious and could get everyone else sick. But Gina, being Gina, would never let Angela down. Just as the festive day seems to be at its bleakest, Gina leaves a full dinner at the Anaconda door. Angela's family makes a miraculous recovery and, yes indeed, there is reason to be thankful. Family Tree While researching her family history for a class project, Angela discovers that the Anacondas of yesteryear owned Miss Nettie. Miss Nettie is the cow, according to legend, that saved Tapwater Springs from a devastating fire. Nanette claims it was actually the Manoirs of yesteryear that owned the famed bovine. Angela sets out to prove Nanette wrong. She discovers an old partial photo of an Anaconda pulling the aforementioned cow. But, Angela's proof only proves Nanette right. See Nanette also has a piece of the same photograph. Side by side the pieces reveal a Manoir descendant riding the cow that an Anaconda descendant is pulling. The Anacondas were the Manoirs' milkmaids! The humiliation is overwhelming. Just then, Grandma Lou appears. Grandma Lou has a third and final piece of the Miss Nettie photograph puzzle. It reveals Miss Nettie actually kicked the lantern-the lantern that started the fire, which almost burned down Tapwater Springs way back when! Phew. Good thing Angela wasn't the real owner of Miss Nettie. Would you want to be related to the cow that almost destroyed your town?!

Goodbye Mrs. Brinks The school day starts out ordinarily boring as everyone awaits an announcement from Mrs. Brinks. What a surprise when Mrs. Brinks reveals that she has been offered a dream teaching position-at another school! Angela's not-so-secret wish of wanting to get rid of Mrs. Brinks may finally come true. All Angela and her pals have to do is be on their best behavior when the principal from the new school comes to inspect Mrs. Brinks' teaching methods. There's only one problem: Nanette doesn't want Mrs. Brinks to leave. So, when Dr. Fanny (the principal) arrives, Nanette behaves like Angela normally would. Even January and Karlene join in the truancy act, resorting to deeds they must have picked up from Johnny Abatti. If Angela doesn't do something soon, Mrs. Brinks will never go away. Unfortunately for Angela, it appears she has already done too much. Mrs. Brinks is so touched by Angela's new angelic demeanor, she decides to stay at Tapwater Springs Elementary in order to be with her new favorite pupil! The Birdlady Of Tapwater Springs Angela, Johnny and Josephine find themselves in detention staring out of the window when a bird crashes into it. They rush outside to find the bird has seemingly died. Angela picks it up and offers a few words of condolence before giving it a proper toilet funeral. As Angela finishes her prayer, the bird comes to and flies away. The bird wasn't dead, just stunned. Johnny and Josephine are stunned too. They feel that Angela's touch healed the bird. Soon the whole school knows of Angela's healing powers. They offer her all sorts of goodies so she will use her magical powers on them. Of course Angela knows that she doesn't have any special powers but if she can make people happy and get cool perks while doing it, then where's the harm? But when Mrs. Brinks gets wind of Angela's voodoo, she demands that Angela give her the ability to dance again. Somehow Mrs. Brinks does manage to do a very brief and very bad two-step. Angela, pleased that she helped Mrs. Brinks with her jig, decides that this healing gig isn't for her and gracefully retires.

Secret Santa It's Christmas and Christmas is Angela's favorite time of the year. Everyone seems to be happier and full of holiday spirit. Of course, the presents are greatly appreciated too! Every year the children of Tapwater Elementary engage in a Secret Santa gift exchange. Last year Angela and Gina were each other's Secret Santa and Angela hopes that they will get to be Secret Santas again. But the odds are against them. Angela and Nanette end up becoming each other's Secret Santa. Christmas is ruined! Angela tries desperately to get someone else to buy Nanette a present but not even Karlene or January want that task. Angela has a brainstorm. She will get Nanette toilet water, other wise known as eau de toilette. Nanette loves that stuff! Suddenly, Angela overhears Nanette tell her clone club that she has bought Angela a spectacular gift. Now Angela has no choice but to get her nemesis something great. Something French. The only question that remains is, will Nanette appreciate it? Hooray For Chanukah It's Chanukah and Chanukah is Gina's favorite time of the year. Everyone seems to be happier and full of holiday spirit. Of course, the latkes are pretty good too! Every year the town celebrates the last night of Chanukah at Mapperson's bakery. This year, Angela and the gang are helping Gina carry her Grandmother's gigantic antique menorah to the festivities. Along the way they get hungry and decide to stop for special latke pizza at Abatti's. They ask Uncle Nicky to watch the menorah while they eat. He obliges but ends up gambling it away during one of many dreidel games. By the time the children catch up to the person who won the menorah, it's been pawned. The kids race to the pawnshop but now the menorah has been sold to Spangley Jangles. Angela refuses to give up. They convince Spangley to give them the menorah back. But on their way to Mapperson's they forget the menorah on the bus! Somehow the menorah ends up in Nanette's hands and the Manoirs use it for a chandelier! Angela knows that a miracle is what Chanukah is all about and a miracle is just what Tapwater Springs could use right about now.

Return To Sender Angela has been waiting a whole month for this very moment. Angela and her friends signed up for pen pals while on a trip to the museum. And today, Angela's letter from her pan pal has arrived. While everyone has cool pen pals - Gina gets food from hers - Gordy's pen pal is a ballerina - Angela by far has the best pen pal ever. Marie Antoinette (the aforementioned letter writer) writes pages and pages of really neat stuff. So great is Marie Antoinette and her prolific writing abilities, that Nanette engages in a pen pal competition with Angela . Nanette is positive her pen pal is the very best and is determined to prove it. But soon Nanette discovers that due to a pen pal mix up at the museum, her and Angela have unknowingly exchanged letters. Completely embarrassed, Nanette pretends to have known Angela was her pen pal all along. The next letter Marie Antoinette sends to Angelita (Angela's nom de plume) is viscous and nasty and poor Angela is crushed. When Angela finally learns the truth behind Marie Antoinette she decides to get even the best way she knows how. She uses Nanette's own words against her. I Wanna Mold Your Band Mr. Tastee Twirl is holding a talent contest in which the winner will get to ride with him in the Tastee Twirl truck and ring the Tastee Twirl bell. None of Angela's friends think they have any talent that would win them such a coveted prize. Well, Johnny has a so-so ventriloquist act with his puppet Sir Ducksworthy, but Angela isn't sure that's enough to win. Angela suggests that the gang reform their old band: Angela And Her Band-A-Condas! The gang isn't so gung-ho about the idea. It turns out that when the friends first formed the band, many years ago, Angela kind of got out of hand. Everyone has since vowed to never be in a music group together, no matter what. Then Nanette and her clone club show up and gloat about their band, the Oo-La-La-La-Las. If Nanette wins, she'll get to ring the Tastee Twirl bell and ice cream will be ruined forever. So the Band-A-Condas are quickly reborn. But with more in-fighting to deal with then the Beetles had when Yoko became a factor, the Band-A-Condas' band battle is all up hill.

Don't Be Caddie Today is the hottest day in Tapwater Springs and Angela and her pals decide to cool off in Nonna's water sprinklers. Unfortunately Tapwater Springs is experiencing a drought and the Mayor has ordered all citizens to conserve water. Just when it seems Gordy will die from his heat rash, the friends stumble across the Tapwater Country Club and its big, beautiful pool. Angela would love to jump in, but the pool is for members only. What's a girl to do? Well, it just so happens that Mark and Derek have jobs at the Club. With a little help from her parents, Angela's brothers agree to get Angela and friends pool time. But there's a catch. The next day the gang has to do caddie duty. They must help golfers choose the appropriate clubs and also retrieve lost golf balls. Everyone takes their job a little too seriously, retrieving golf balls just as players place them on the tee. Mark and Derek are impressed with Angela's work but never had any intention of actually letting her swim. The pool is being cleaned and it's empty! Angela has two choices: either fill the pool herself, or get an invitation to the Country Club from someone other then her brothers. The Pup Who Would Be King Thanks to King, Angela and her friends get to witness the miracle of birth. King bares four adorable puppies. Angela is immediately taken with a scrappy one that affectionately bites her nose. But Geneva doesn't want any puppies in the house. One dog is enough for the Anacondas and the puppies will be given away. The next day, when Angela returns home from detention, all but the scrappy puppy are gone. Angela promises to find the perfect home for her favorite pup. She interviews many Tapwater residents but none live up to her high standards. Geneva's standards aren't so high. She knows of a perfect place for the puppy to go to. Geneva gives the puppy to Mrs. Brinks! Well, Angela is livid and enlists her friends to help save the puppy from this terrible fate. Can you imagine how horrible it must be to have to lick Mrs. Brinks' face? The more Angela tries to save the puppy, the more apparent it becomes that the puppy truly loves Mrs. Brinks. It seems anything is possible.

Cheese Under Pressure The liverwurst sandwiches that Geneva gives to Angela everyday for lunch are becoming less appetizing. In fact, Angela isn't the only person bored with her lunch. The whole school seems unhappy with what their parents have packed and Angela suggests they all trade. There's only one problem-nobody wants Angela's lunch. Angela figures the answer to her problems is to bring something for lunch that every kid would want. So she brings peanut butter and jelly with her. But a kid can get peanut butter any old time and Angela is left out of the trading. Next stop: the supermarket. Surely Angela can get something cool to eat there. And she does. She discovers Squiggly Cheese, the artificial spray cheese from a can that not only tastes good, its fun to play with. Instantly Angela is the envy of the lunch room crowd. Even Nanette wants to trade with her! Will Angela trade away the best lunch she's had in a long while? Or will Nanette just manipulate Angela into giving her the coveted Squiggly Cheese? Troop Or Consequences Angela and Gina love being part of the Junior Ranger-ettes. They however don't love that Karlene and January are about to elect Nanette troop leader in an upcoming vote. Angela and Gina must recruit some new Ranger-ettes to prevent this from happening. They try desperately to recruit Josephine. She turns them down. The only girl who shows interest in becoming a Ranger-ette is actually-a boy! Gordy Rhinehart loves the crafts and other neat things the Ranger-ettes do. Being a Rangerette would also let Gordy be close to Gina Lash.
