Safety First: Jimmy is bullied by Terry Finster at school. Terry steals Jimmy's lunch and terrorizes him at every opportunity, such as throwing him in the dumpster. Carl compares Jimmy's ordeal, having to deal with Terry at school, with the horror of finding a spider in you bathtub. This analogy is a reference to the horror film 'Arachnophobia' (1990). Jimmy's plan to take two lunches instead of one is foiled when Carl reveals his scheme in front of Terry. Cindy and Libby offer some assistance to Jimmy and advise him to tell his parents or a teacher. Their reason is that even Jimmy "shouldn't have to deal with a bully on a daily basis." Telling his parents, particularly his father Hugh, solves nothing. In fact, Hugh thinks that Terry is a girl and prepares to give Jimmy 'the talk' about girls. Jimmy has to prove that he is able to solve the problem himself. Will he succeed? Jimmy creates two disagreeable nanobots, aided by a flying saucer with a range of offensive abilities, to take care of Terry by giving a taste of his own medicine. But Jimmy's idea goes wrong when these nanobots consider almost all of Jimmy's friends a threat. In a ironic reversal of circumstances, Jimmy becomes the real bully, and this episode does a good job of showing that violence doesn't solve any problems, it only accentuates them. Desperate to outwit the aggressive nanobots, Jimmy attacks himself, confusing the nanobots to self-destruction (although they do emerge unscathed from their saucer at the end). In the hilarious conclusion, Hugh, convinced he has to give 'the talk' some way or another, gives it to Goddard instead, but the subject quickly changes from the topic of boys and girls to his real infatuation, ducks.
Crime Sheen Investigation: Much more than a parody of C.S.I. (Crime Scene Investigation), this episode is a brilliant parody of Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Sherlock Holmes'. Someone steals Sheen's Ultra Lord figure, and it is up to Jimmy to find out who. By the way, Carl makes an awful Watson (although his notes were ironically more accurate than all of Jimmy's scientific deductions in the end).
