Angela Anaconda

Season 2 Episode 3 - A Bug Responsibility / Pogo-A-Go-Go

A Bug Responsibility Angela finds herself flushing the class goldfish down the toilet. This is not the first goldfish that has passed on to the bowl in the sky while in her care. Angela vows to never act as caretaker to any animal, ever again. That is until Josephine convinces Angela to watch over an insect orphanage. She sees this as an opportunity to repent for her past animal failures. Angela does everything she can to make sure Josephine's bugs live a safe and luxurious life. Her parents do not share the same love for bugs though, and hire an exterminator to get rid of the fleas that have begun to plague the family dog. Full aware of the trouble she could get into, she is forced to bring the critters to school to save them from certain extinction, but her attempts prove futile and Angela is faced with a lifetime of eraser duty. It appears as though Angela has failed once again when the bugs are discovered and tossed out a window. But Josephine reveals that once the bugs were set free, they were able to blossom into dignified members of bug society. Pogo-A-Go-Go The Tapwater Springs Elementary School annual handstand fundraiser is fast approaching. Angela practices her technique with great enthusiasm, preparing to win this year as she has in years past. But alas, her hopes are dashed when Mrs. Brinks changes the charitable event from a handstand competition to a pogo contest. The whole school, with the exception of Angela, welcomes the change. For years, Angela has been concealing the fact that she is the only person in Tapwater Springs who is unable to pogo, until Nanette uncovers her secret. Not only does it appear that Nanette will be the pogo queen, but thanks to her fare-haired nemesis, all of Tapwater Springs is aware of Angela's humiliation. She has no choice but to learn how to pogo and beat Nanette at her own game. On the day of competition, Angela finds a hole in the rules, and uses two pogo sticks instead of one! Angela proves, in her unique way, that she can pogo after all!
