The Blonde Squad

The Blonde Squad

   This show has a lot of lines that would be heartbreaking if delivered in any context other than a children's TV show. I won't list them, but know I take them out of context.

  The plot of this episode sees Beck trying to record and present a short film- which itself is a comedy parody of Charlie's Angels. The girls of the group decide to go to that Sushi restaurant I hate in their blonde wigs because Tori thinks it'll help her rail some dude or something. Some dude hits on Cat in a way that would be incredibly awkward and uncomfortable but he has a sharp jawline and V shaped build so it's fine.

 So Cat questions the legitimacy of if this guy likes her for her or only because she has blonde hair. This parallels her own flaw, that she herself is only interested in this man for his appearance- but this is a Nick show so it's not getting that deep. Instead she simply hides her real hair until a parrot steals her wig and the guy rejects her. What did you expect, Dorian Gray? 

  The B-Plot is Andre trying to chase down the above parrot. 

                                            Anyway. There's a lot of pretty good dialogue in this one. Like for a straight comedy this episode has the most lines that.. aren't really there for comedy it seems. People are actually sad and actually upset with each other and it feels a bit more legitimate than similar scenes in season 1. I suppose it's just the progress in acting. It's a nice change of pace. 

                After handsome dude leaves, Robbie does a song for Cat about how much he values her and all that. Despite this, she doesn't really notice the meaning behind it, presumably because Robbie has a less symmetrical face. And that's about the end of the episode. 

 I dunno. There's something kind of brisk and sweet about this episode. Like we're at the end of the third season and only now is an episode that actually tries to touch on a real theme or issue between the characters.  I miss a few things from Season 1, but if episodes had this type of structure back then  this could be a completely different show.

I still hate that dumbass sushi restaurant though.  8/10

That's season 3.
