Plot[]
It's a rainy day, and while Tommy, Chuckie and the twins are in the playpen, Drew brings Angelica over. Angelica's still mad at Chuckie for eating her crayons, even though Chuckie only ate two of them. When Stu and Drew go to watch TV together, Lil suggests playing hide-and-seek. Initially dismissive of the idea, Angelica, having revenge in mind, decides to play this. She makes Chuckie be "it" first and has him remove his glasses. While he's counting, she steals them, and when Chuckie finishes counting, he gets freaked out when he notices his glasses are gone, and frantically searches for them; he even gets Spike to help him.
While she's got Chuckie's glasses, Angelica puts them on and becomes greatly amused by how blurry and distorted everything looks. When Chuckie's been gone for longer than he should be, Tommy and the twins decide to look for him. While they're looking for Chuckie, Angelica soon starts feeling sick and dizzy from wearing Chuckie's glasses and gives them to her cousin and the twins. Tommy comes up with the idea of using Chuckie's glasses to try and find Chuckie himself, but like Angelica, when Tommy puts on Chuckie's glasses, he only sees what Chuckie sees without his glasses. After a while, they hear Chuckie crying outside, because he thought he broke his glasses by stepping on them. Tommy and the twins go outside to Chuckie, and Lil gives Chuckie his glasses-- Chuckie's ecstatic at being able to see properly again.
Chuckie and his friends go back inside, and Tommy questions how Chuckie's even able to see with his glasses, because when Tommy and Angelica wore them, the glasses just showed everything they saw as blurry and distorted and also made them feel really dizzy. The twins start spinning around, and while they're doing that, Tommy adds that the glasses also make you feel like vomiting. The twins drop to the floor after getting too dizzy, and Lil says that they know what Tommy means by that-- she also questions why the glasses didn't seem to make Angelica sick. Just then, Angelica walks into the kitchen, indeed looking very green and sick. Her dad walks in and sees her, and says, "Honey, you look a little sick"-- just before Angelica vomits all over her dad's new sweater vest. Drew picks up his daughter to take away so they can both get cleaned up.
After Tommy's uncle and cousin leave, he wonders whose glasses Chuckie accidentally broke outside if Angelica stole Chuckie's glasses and had them the entire time. Tommy and the others get their answer when Lou walks into the living room looking for his lost glasses, and the kids laugh as Lou mistakes Tommy's clown lamp, Mr. Fluffles, for Didi.
Trivia[]
- Stu, Drew and Lou are the only adults seen in the episode, although Didi is mentioned by Lou.
- Chuckie's full name is revealed by Angelica to be "Charles Crandall Finster."
- Tommy's lamp appears in this episode, though it was broken by Angelica in "The Trial". It can be assumed that Didi bought a new one from the toy store that Betty told her about in that episode.
- This episode was made into the Chuckie's Glasses level for the Rugrats: Search for Reptar video game, where Angelica barfs on Stu instead of Drew in the end.
- It is unknown why Chuckie didn't cry for help. It was an option, and he could have cried to one of the adults. There is a possibility that since Chuckie had no idea where he was, he just guessed the adults weren't near him.
- This is the first time Angelica barfs on her dad. The second time she does this is in "Ransom of Cynthia", however that time it's off-screen.
- Lil says that playing "hide and go peek" was Chuckie's idea, when in reality, it was hers.
- Although she was possibly referring to his idea of playing inside in general.
- Karma: Angelica steals Chuckie's glasses and wears them for a spin; she ends up getting herself so sick that she throws up all over Drew's sweater.
- Morals:
- No matter the circumstances, bragging is not always good, because it will come back and bite you.
- Stealing is always wrong and illegal.
- Glasses are made specifically for people that need them. Never wear glasses that aren’t yours, because someone else’s prescription can be bad for you.
- Always have a backup pair of glasses.
