Now there's a sight for sore eyes!

The one with Jenny's crazy eyes.

Dr. Wakeman is proud of her newest enhancement for Jenny: multi-functional eyes that can see anything in any view. Jenny likes them until she sees how they look on her. She refuses to use them and fumbles around town without any sight until she finally realizes she needs them to fight an invisible villain.

"See No Evil" contains examples of:

  • Delayed Reaction: Upon seeing how she looks like with the new eyes in a mirror which freaks her out, Jenny assumes this is just a setting until Dr. Wakeman tells her this is the regular setting.
    Jenny: Hey, Mom? Which setting is number 1?
    Dr. Wakeman: Uh, number 1? Normal.
    Jenny: That's funny, I thought you just said "normal".
    Dr. Wakeman: I did.
  • Eye Pop: Jenny is given a new pair of eyes that can extend out of her head to "zoom in" on things and have multiple vision settings. When she first looks in a mirror with these eyes on and realizes how they look on her in "normal vision", her eyes instantaneously extend to their fullest extent.
  • Eye Scream: Upon discovering the invisible man to actually be an invisible eyeball monster, Jenny kicks dust in his eye. It only gets worse for the eyeball as he puts hot sauce in his eye, shines a magnifying glass into it, and pokes himself with a stick.
  • Mirror Reveal: When Jenny tries on the new eyes, she doesn't get to see how she looks like with them on until she sees her reflection in a mirror when looking at posters, realizing how bug-eyed she looks which creeps her out.
  • Suspect Is Hatless: Jenny gets contradicting descriptions from several people in the crowd before someone finally goes, "I remember — he was invisible!"
  • Word, Schmord!: When Nora puts the fanny pack on Jenny at the end, Jenny exclaims "Fannypack or Schmannypack! As long as I look like my old self."

Jenny's makeover is hot in more ways than one....

The one with Jenny's makeover.

Jenny has been invited to her handsome classmate Don Prima's latest party, and she has gotten a tune-up and a new paint job just for the occasion. However, Brit and Tiff are ready to do anything to sabotage Jenny's chances to impress at the party.

"The Great Unwashed" contains examples of:

  • Bait-and-Switch: It looks like Jenny is fully prepared to crush The Mudslinger with a giant hammer, especially after mentioning the Crust Cousins hired him. However, she suddenly gives him her invitation to Don Prima's party after he admits that, like her, he's never been invited to one.
  • Bullying a Dragon: The Mudslinger is an expert at his job but apparently didn't think what would happen after he succeeded in ruining Jenny's new paint job. Cue him cowering in fear as Jenny furiously advances on him in a dead-end alley.
  • Covered in Gunge: The mudslinger Brit and Tiff hire is a literal one. As in, he's a journalist that specializes in dirtying up whoever he's hired to, including using a fountain pen that fires big globs of ink.
  • Distant Reaction Shot: A number of citizens exclaim, "Dynamite salesman?" when the man admits said job and he left dynamite in one of the cars.
  • Doomed New Clothes: The episode features a mix of this and Watch the Paint Job for Jenny, who got a new outfit/paint job for Don Prima's party, only for the Crust Cousins to hire a guy who specializes in both literal and figurative mud-slinging to attack her for the sole purpose of ruining it. After the Mudslinger confesses the Crust Cousins' involvement, Jenny warms up after threatening to attack him and hands him her party invitation, so he can do the same to them.
  • Hot Paint Job: Jenny's make-over includes flame motifs on her pigtails and her legs.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: The Crust Cousins hire Mudslinger to ruin Jenny's design so that she can't attend the party. After he succeeds, Jenny, at first, threatens to pulverize him, but instead, warms up after he confesses the Cousins' involvement and gives him her invitation, which he uses to enter the party and ruin it with the blame being pinned on the Crust Cousins.
  • Makeover Montage: When the thugs at the garage clean up Jenny and give her a new paint job.
  • She Cleans Up Nicely: Jenny's not lacking in the looks department for a robot, but in this episode, she gets a real makeover in hot red from some mechanics after being wrecked in an explosion. Even Brad is stunned by the results.
  • Watch the Paint Job: For Jenny, mixed with Doomed New Clothes.
