While Sector V is on a mission to clear everyone out of Le Sissie before the bridge leading to it blows up, Numbuh 5 is knocked out and awakens in a bizarre land of clothing within the clothes racks.

Date of Mission: January 12, 2007

Now loading tropes:

  • Berserk Button: The Poorly Dressed don't take kindly to people who laugh at the clothes they're wearing.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Everyone manages to evacuate Le Sissie in time, and Sector V manages to convince the Poorly Dressed to leave the clothes rack world. How do they do that? By having everyone in Sector V (minus Numbuh 3, who didn't go with them) and Numbuh 11-Teen trade their clothes with the Poorly Dressed. When they want their clothes back, the Poorly Dressed run away and steal the SKWID Squad's submarine, leaving Numbuh 20,000 devastated and the others humiliated.
  • Bookends: A kid near the fountain with Numbuh 5 at the beginning comments that he should have wished for a submarine too when the SKWID Squad submarine appears. At the end, the same kid returns and, seeing the tacky clothes everyone's wearing, comments to Numbuh 5 that she should have wished for better clothes instead.
  • Description Cut:
    • Numbuh 5 tries to assure Numbuh 20,000 that her team will have the most secret and dangerous way of entering the mall. Cut to a minivan driven by Mrs. Beetles dropping off the others at the front.
    • Later, upon seeing one of the tackier clothes in display, Numbuh 5 wonders what parent would buy that kind of dress for their kid, in comes Father and the Delightful Children, with the latter begging him to buy them the clothes in the store. They don't even notice Numbuh 5 just a couple of feet away.
  • Impossibly Tacky Clothes: Lord almighty, what are the fashion designers at Le Sissie smoking to come up with this crap? One of their outfits is a damn apple costume.
  • Madness Mantra: "Good clothes come to those who wait" is pretty much the only (intelligible) thing the Poorly Dressed ever say.
  • Only One Finds It Fun: The Delightful Children from Down the Lane are the only kids who actually like clothes from Le Sissie. They even bring Father with them shopping there.
  • Tap on the Head: Numbuh 5 gets knocked out with an umbrella as she hides in a clothing rack.
  • Villains Out Shopping: Literally in this case, we see Father and the DCFDTL shopping for clothes at Le Sissie.
  • Wishing Well: At the very beginning of the episode, there is a wishing fountain in the mall. When Numbuh 5 throws a coin into it, a SKWID Squad submarine pops out of it.
