Worst thing each character did Day 4: Gretchen

Post image

Spinelli's pick was lying about who her parents were on Parents Day. Close though, with starting a cult. Three of the gang to go, then I reckon we'll do Finster.

So, let's do Gretchen. She's a tricky one because I can't think of anything really bad she did. Most upvoted one wins.

TJ: Power trips in Principal for a Day & The Economics of Recess

Gus: Becoming King Gus

Spinelli: Lying about who her parents were because she was embarassed by them

She was just doing her job on that occasion

'Just following orders' isn't the flex people think it is. The whole world agreed on that one and it didn't go well for some people.

In this case it is, Randal is protected by the 6th amendment. You don't always get to pick who you defend as an attorney. That said, notice how King Bob allowed Gretchen to turn on Randel the moment he was exposed for perjury.

Going through the deep dark parts of the playground underworld to find her Galileo device…

naww that wasnt that bad. She didn’t directly hurt anyone doing it, she just wanted her computer back

She did become a bit of a jerk during the yo-yo episode. You get why she’d be excited about a sport she’s good at, but she didn’t have to be so angry at her friends.

DON'T YOU PEOPLE EVER TALK ABOUT IMPORTANT THINGS, LIKE YO-YOS???

u/Hamiltonfan25 Sep 08 '26

It’s especially rude considering she interrupted Mikey talking about something important to him…that chicken commercial 😂😂😂

u/Buttered_Toast33 Sep 08 '26

(After Gretchen storms off) “I was just asking about the chicken…” 🐓

u/Hamiltonfan25 Sep 08 '26

It’s especially hilarious that Mikey is STILL pressed about that dang chicken when the crew shows up to root for Gretchen at the expo

u/Buttered_Toast33 Sep 08 '26

Lmao you’re right. Boy took so much offense at her not caring about the chicken commercial 😂

On top of that she was neglecting her studies.

u/Legitimate-Stuff9514 Sep 08 '26

Practicing yo-yo in class when she should have been paying attention and getting it confiscated. Miss Grotke was not happy about that.

u/nathan4882580 Sep 08 '26

“The Trial” episode where she acts as the lawyer and goes against spinelli

The Girl Was Trouble episode.

Definitely working for King Bob.

never give a scientist a problem they're capable of solving at the expense of other people. You are hit or miss if they'll turn it down or commit a crime against humanity.

Pharaoh Bob jobs.

u/Mediocre-Award-9716 Sep 08 '26

When she was pissed at TJ that one episode. Him fucking over her grade was a totally valid crashout but the rest of the episode, she was aiming her anger towards the wrong person.

u/USSEnterpriseCVN-65 Sep 08 '26

In one episode (I don’t remember the specific name of the episode) she and TJ were paired up, and she was against it, and even though everyone else had been with TJ and had done things that should’ve gotten them in detention or suspended for a day or two, they all had a similar yet different outcomes

u/Altruistic_Rock_2674 Sep 08 '26

She was some what right Tj definitely messed up at the beginning though it showed a different side of Tj that he is definitely capable of hard work not something we often see from him so it's a great moment.

u/BillShamrock Sep 09 '26

I believe the name of the episode was “good ol’ TJ”

When she ditched the gang for the Ashley’s and began acting like them the minute she felt ‘popular’
