Kat embarks on a diet to play the lead in a ballet show, while Divatox embarks on a plan to raise the water levels to flood the whole of Angel Grove.


Tropes

  • Be Careful What You Wish For: Katherine is mocked by her weight by an envious ballet dancer and starves herself to lose that allegued weight. However Divatox decides to send her monster Numbor to make Kat weightless, which makes her float in the air.
  • Compressed Vice: Kat's eating disorder, which is never mentioned again.
    • Though considering she nearly floated away to the stratosphere due to a simple wind breeze, that may have cured her of wanting to be lighter.
    • Not to mention, her almost three-year tenure of fighting the forces of evil must’ve made her realize that she’s maintained excellent physical condition.
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Adam didn't listen to Justin explaining his science project at first due to noticing a girl in a swimsuit. Justin himself gets twitterpated by the girl's little sister, much to Adam's annoyance.
  • Fantastic Fragility: Played with, it's revealed by Bulk and Skull (who thought it was a straw) causes the periscope to move around and shake the ship a bit (but does not seem to sink it).
  • Green-Eyed Monster: A fellow dancer named Myrtle spitefully mocks Katherine for being fat after stealing the lead from her in a rendition of "The Nutcracker Suite". Later she’s seen shooting Kat a Death Glare at the play's conclusion and doesn’t attempt an apology.
  • Hate Sink: Myrtle exists solely to get the audience to feel sorry for Kat and to gleefully get grilled upon seeing her in the Rat King costume.
  • Lethal Joke Item: Numbor uses these during the Zord fight (though the last one was a dud).
  • Meaningful Name: Numbor, who can add or subtract things and people. Lampshaded by Tanya.
  • No Gravity for You: Numbor makes Kat weightless, enough to make her float with only a slight breeze.
