Ep 7. Angelica's Last Stand

In "Angelica's Last Stand", the seventh episode of season four of Rugrats, Angelica Pickles is determined to earn enough money to buy a new Cynthia Dream House playset, but her usual schemes are not working. She decides to set up a lemonade stand with the help of the toddlers, but things don't go as planned when they run out of ingredients. Meanwhile, the babies try to catch a firefly to grant Chuckie's wish of seeing a shooting star, but they have trouble working together.

Angelica is as manipulative as ever in this episode, resorting to lies and guilt trips to get her friends to help her with her scheme to earn money. She convinces the babies that they will get a share of the profits if they work at her lemonade stand, but she sets the prices so high that nobody wants to buy anything. When they run out of sugar and lemons, the babies suggest using other ingredients, such as dirt and grass, which doesn't improve sales. Angelica also tricks the babies into thinking that they're helping her by doing all the work while she takes a break.

Despite Angelica's greed and arrogance, the babies are still drawn to her charismatic personality and her ability to come up with new ideas. They think that Angelica is the only one who knows how to catch a firefly, and they are willing to go along with her plan to use a butterfly net and a flashlight. However, they soon realize that they can catch more fireflies by working together and using their strengths. Tommy's leadership skills, Phil and Lil's teamwork, and Chuckie's determination help them catch the firefly they need to make Chuckie's wish come true.

The episode touches on themes of greed, friendship, and teamwork, showing how Angelica's selfishness causes problems for everyone else, but how the babies still rely on her for leadership and inspiration. Angelica learns a valuable lesson about the importance of honesty and fairness, while the babies discover that they can accomplish more by working together and using their talents to complement each other.
