Sickly Nigel Opposes Warped Incumbent's Nasty Grasp

InformationEdit

What's worse than Numbuh 1 being sick on the first snow day of the year? Why, the evil Fourth Grade President Jimmy spoiling everything, of course! The nasty Class President wants everyone back at school for a special assembly, especially for selfish reasons. When the other 4 try to stop Jimmy by rallying the kids against him, their attempts are unsuccessful and they are immediately captured. When Jimmy tries to crown Lizzie his queen with a Girlfriend/Boyfriend Helmet, Numbuh 1 must defeat Jimmy and free her despite his cold. Anna eventually frees the KND and helps Numbuh 1 infiltrate the school. At the start of the assembly, the final fight began. As the KND thrash President Jimmy's Hall Monitors, Numbuh 1 and Jimmy face off with rulers and brooms (parody of light sabers) but Numbuh 1 is knocked down by Jimmy. As Jimmy tries to finish him off, Nigel uses the thermos containing Lizzie's disgusting soup, which she gave him earlier, as a shield. The thermos breaks and the soup drops to Lizzie where the girlfriend helmet is broken due to the soup. The battle is over and Commandos sent by KND Global Command arrive to apprehend Jimmy and Anna. As Jimmy is being apprehended, Anna reveals her love for Jimmy. Numbuh 4 is disgusted by this and when he says that he will never act "lovey-dovey" with anybody, Numbuh 3 pushes him onto the ground and walks away angry.

TriviaEdit

• Other schools mentioned were Meyer Elementary and Kendall Prep
• This episode is a parody of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. President Jimmy is Darth Vader, Lizzie is Princess Leia, and Numbuh 1 is Luke Skywalker.
• Numbuh 2, while his sled-flight team is attacking the Buswalkers, he says, "Watch me for the changes, and try to keep up.", this is a reference to Back to the Future, part I, in which Marty McFly performs "Johnny B. Goode".
• In Numbuh 4's room, towards the beginning of the episode, if you look to the far left, there is a picture of Kuki on the wall.
• The Honor Roll resemble Droidekas, and their Repeating Blasters. The name Honor Roll is a reference to the Droidekas Ball Mode.
• The quote "Alright, rebels! Let's do this one by the book!", is similar to the quote "Alright, Lord Vader wants this raid done by the book!". This quote was in Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Campaign mode in the Polis Massa level.
• At the end of the episode, Numbuh 4 starts making fun of Anna and President Jimmy being in love. He quotes, "You will NEVER catch me acting like that, not with ANYONE!" Numbuh 3 looks like she's about to explode with anger and shoves Numbuh 4 to the ground while letting out an frustrated scream and walked away frustrated. This shows that she has a crush on him.
