The one where Jenny goes through puberty.

When Jenny starts to develop bolt zits, wires under her arms, a deeper voice, and mood swings, Brad chalks it up to "puberty". However, it soon becomes apparent that this "puberty" isn't exactly normal. Queen Vexus of the Cluster has infected her with a nanobot virus to turn Jenny into a loyal Cluster-controlled monster.
