Angelica S3E9

Angelica worrying about getting a navel piercing

While Angelica worries about getting a navel piercing to be like Emica, Susie tries to get a scholarship to a good college. As part of a Life Skills field trip, Chuckie has to pretend to marry Fridge, Angelica to Susie, Harold to a girl named Harriet, who is just like him, Darryl to Brianna, and various others. Mr. Pangborn and Ms. O'Keats are chaperones for the trip. Chuckie feels like Fridge is ignoring him when the latter doesn't respond to anything the former says. Harold and Harriet quickly bond over their common interests. At the bridal shop, Angelica is trying on a dress, despite it being unnecessary for the field trip, but she gets stuck in it, so she and Susie are left behind when the latter helps her. Susie loses her laptop with all of her work on that she needs to show to a college. Susie and Angelica get lost and end up at a tattoo parlor, where Angelica faints at the sight of a piercing. The two continue to fight because of their divergent prioritizes before reconciling and getting a ride from the tattoo artist.

  • This is the only time in the series when Emica makes an onscreen appearance.
  • Along with Cynthia Comes Alive, this is the second time in which the Rugrats creators have scenes involving belly button piercings.
  • Despite the pairing of the same gender in the Life Skills project, this episode has nothing to do with gay and lesbian marriages. However now it may be considered a subtle, coincidental message.

  • Ending Tagline: "You want to buy a live ferret?" - Stereo speaker salesman
  • Kimi doesn't appear in this episode.
  • This episode reveals that Mr. Pangborn's first name is Estes.
  • In this episode, Susie is stated to be 13 years old, after previously stated to be 12 in "Runaround Susie". This means that she turned 13 between both episodes offscreen.
