After saving the Mayor from a monster attack, the Powerpuff Girls are rewarded with candy. Soon their sweet tooth grows into obsession, and Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup strike a mischievous deal with Mojo Jojo to stage crimes so they can keep earning treats. At first the plan works, but when Mojo slyly steals the entire candy jar, Blossom’s rage erupts with “You have been a bad monkey, Mojo” before the girls unleash their fury on the evil genius!

📺 From The Powerpuff Girls Season 3, Episode 8a: "Candy is Dandy."

Let's review.

The Mayor gives the PPGs candy as a reward for saving the day. As a result, the girls become instantly hooked on the stuff! The only way they can get more is by saving Townsville. The girls make a deal with Mojo to have him attack the city each day so they can get more sweets.

This was a great episode! Mojo, the Mayor, and the girls were hilarious. So many great scenes it would be unfair to only point out a few. Here's a surprise: Most people who saw this episode thought the girls were extremely cruel to Mojo; I didn't. The girls were out of control due to their sugar addition, and besides, Mojo did ask for it by stealing the Mayor's candy!

One complaint: There seems to be a continuity error in this episode. In "Just Another Manic Mojo", Mojo gave the girls lollipops to stop them from playing hide-and-seek. I'd thought I could explain this discrepancy by assuming the Mayor's candy is somehow different than "regular" candy. However in this episode, Blossom explicitly mentions that the Professor forbid them to ever eat candy. Can't really blame the writers too much. Sometimes you wish you had a time machine to go back and erase those little things that would prevent a perfectly good episode from being written just for continuity's sake.
