WordGirl: Tricks and Treats Season 1 Episode 2 Becky and the Bard

Becky and the Bard is the second episode of the first season of the animated children's show WordGirl: Tricks and Treats. In this episode, Becky, the ordinary teenage girl, wants to impress her crush, a boy named Emmitt. Emmitt is part of a Shakespearean theater group that is putting on a play, and he urges Becky to be part of it too. Becky is thrilled at the prospect of being in the same production as Emmitt, but she soon finds that acting is harder than it looks.

Becky's friend, Violet, is also part of the Shakespearean theater group, and she has the lead role in the play. Violet is having a difficult time memorizing her lines, and Becky offers to help her by reading the lines with her. As they practice, Becky discovers that she has a talent for speaking in iambic pentameter, the rhythm that Shakespeare used in his plays. She reads Violet's lines perfectly and decides to try out for a part in the play.

Becky is excited when she is given a small role as a lady-in-waiting, but she soon realizes that acting in front of an audience is much harder than rehearsing in the safety of her bedroom. Her nerves get the best of her, and she forgets her lines during the performance. While she is fumbling for her lines, Becky suddenly realizes that a villain has come on stage and is about to ruin the show. The villain is none other than Lady Redundant Woman, WordGirl's archenemy.

Lady Redundant Woman has figured out that the theater group is putting on a play about Shakespeare, and she decides to use her duplication powers to ruin the production. She duplicates herself multiple times, making it impossible for the actors to put on the play. Everyone is confused and panicked, but Becky realizes that this is her chance to be a hero.

Becky quickly changes into her WordGirl costume and takes on Lady Redundant Woman and her duplicates. She has to use all of her powers to keep up with the villain's constant duplications, but she eventually manages to defeat her. The play goes on as planned, and Becky manages to impress Emmitt with her bravery and quick thinking.

In the end, Becky realizes that acting is not for her, but she is glad she tried it out. She also learns that being a hero can come in many different forms, and that she doesn't have to be an actor to make a difference. The episode ends with WordGirl and her sidekick Captain Huggy Face flying off into the distance, ready to take on their next adventure.

Overall, Becky and the Bard is a fun and entertaining episode that showcases WordGirl's quick wit and superpowers. The episode also teaches important lessons about trying new things and being willing to step out of your comfort zone. With its colorful animation, catchy music, and engaging plot, this episode is sure to be a hit with children and adults alike.
