This is the first episode to showcase the Junkyard Gang's "ignorance" where the arc is learning to accept something they don't understand. The episode revolves around Dumb Donald's cousin Betty, whom the gang mostly ignores and condemns. Eventually through assitance with schoolwork and and showcasing talent she wins the guys' trust and they see her as part of the group. This is the first episode of the series that shows the gang completely discriminating against someone else. Although this kind of episode is common in several shows, this episode is a little different. Ending with a musical number about the pointlessness of normality and the acceptance of those separate from you, arguably making this episode the first with a semi-adult theme, stating things like: How would you feel if we all looked the same? Your friends were all previously strangers, and you will be a stranger to everyone you meet.
