Penny and Aggie/Recap/D-Day: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

Penny, having patched things up with Aggie, drives her home, where they begin gathering friends in an alliance against Karen's clique. Meanwhile, at a popsicle party, Helen nervously confesses to Karen that she told Aggie about her mole status. Karen assures her it doesn't matter because, she thinks, Aggie's no longer a concern, and says, "We don't need help any more." Helen, having thus been told the last thing she wanted to hear, wanders drunkenly and despondently through the house. She overhears Bob and Elmer describing to Jack their earlier oral/anal sexual encounter with her in vulgar, unflattering terms, referring to her as a "dumpster." Jack, also drunk, at first reacts with amusement, but then he imagines Katy-Ann disapproving and goes to find Helen. Meanwhile, Cyndi tells Karen she discovered Duane in the act of Islamic prayer.

* [[Adults Are Useless]] - Played with, in the case of Michelle's parents. On the one hand, they express their concern over her having stopped socializing. On the other, they appear not to notice she's been losing weight at an unhealthy pace until Penny's intervention alerts them. In their defence, one strip early in the chapter shows Michelle avoiding having to join them for dinner by cooking for them while claiming to have eaten already, wearing long oven mitts to conceal her thin hands, and distracting them by feigning interest in her father's business.

* [[Camp Gay]] - Fred.

* [[Enemy Mine]] - Daphne's apparent attitude towards Penny. In contrast to Aggie, who as of the beginning of this chapter interacts with Penny in a genuinely friendly way, even joking with her, Daphne is civil but more guarded.

* [[Extreme Doormat]] - Once again, [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] with Helen. She falls apart after discovering she's no longer needed as a mole, nor as Bob's and Elmer's sexual partner.

* [[Imagine Spot]] - Katy-Ann pictures herself as Eve, with Aggie as the serpent, offering the temptation of a "pulpit" as [[Forbidden Fruit]].

* [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] - Helen.

* [[No More for Me]] - Nick's reaction to his coffee cup when he overhears Penny and Aggie entering the house, as friends.

* [[The Power of Friendship]]
