Sedusa schemes to regain her power by seducing the Gangreen Gang into stealing Egyptian artifacts. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup uncover her plot after the Mayor mistakes a magical scepter for a candy cane. With Townsville under threat, the girls face laser blasts and snake‑like hair attacks until Blossom cleverly removes Sedusa’s tiara, stripping her of power!
📺 From The Powerpuff Girls Season 6, Episode 14: "Aspirations."
Let's review.
A number of daring robberies are occurring right under the PPGs' noses...or lack thereof. Anyway, the girls dismiss the Gangreen Gang as suspects since they believe the gang is unable to concoct anything more than a petty theft. Little do they know, the boys have been trained by a mysterious benefactor: Sedusa! At last, we get some closure to why we haven't seen her since Season 2. Her hair was the source of her power. When Ms. Bellum cut it, Sedusa's super-abilities were effectively neutered as well.
The role Sedusa plays in this episode is a little complex. She uses sex appeal as a means to get the Gangreen Gang to do her bidding. However, the stronger theme in the episode is Sedusa as a mother figure to the boys. There were some really poignant scenes, especially when Sedusa reveals her true motives. What was really refreshing was how completely different the PPGs handled the situation from "Slave the Day." Their compassion spoke volumes. I can only hope it was a conscious effort rather than a byproduct of the apparent stricter CN standards and practices in the later seasons.
BTW, I loved Blossom's, "something's amiss here, and we're gonna find out what", line. Oh, and Bubbles', "Asps. Very dangerous" line, too.
