Dinner For Four

When Helga discovers Arnold likes Lila's sophistication, she decides to invite him to dinner at a French restaurant - but it's not the one where she won the free dinner Written by Steve Viksten Storyboard Direction by Chris Headrick Animation Direction by Frank Weiss Storyboard Artist: Chris Robertson Cast: Arnold - Spencer Klein Gerald - Jamil W. Smith Helga - Francesca Marie Smith Phoebe - Anndi McAfee Lila - Ashley Buccille Nadine - Lauren Robinson Mr. Simmons - Dan Butler Jacques, policeman - Maurice LaMarche Restaurant Captain, tape voice - Lloyd Sherr Henri - (uncredited)     * P.S. 118's raffle is a "fight for world peace"     * Helga knew the difference between "Chez Pierre" and "Chez Paris" in "Arnold's Valentine"     * Helga's plan involves her paying the bill, but Arnold knows she won the dinner for four     * Helga tells Phoebe to tell Gerald to invite "a friend", but Phoebe specifically asks Gerald to invite "his best friend" - another sign that Phoebe knows more about Helga and, uh, "ice cream" than she lets on     * Why didn't Helga just call her father for the money?     * Did one of those restaurant patrons that was scared by the cockroaches look familiar? That was Lana Vail, who lived in the Sunset Arms during the first season (you can see her in one of the windows in the show's opening)     * Actually, "washing dishes" to pay a bill is an urban legend - that's why they hire dishwashers in the first place     * Lloyd Sherr was credited as the "instuctor"

Phoebe Skips

When Phoebe is moved into the sixth grade, Helga has problems finding a new "sidekick", while Phoebe is taken advantage of by the older girls Written by Michelle Lamoreaux Storyboard Direction by Mike Svayko Animation Direction by Christine Kolosov Storyboard Artist: Jay Lender Cast: Arnold - Spencer Klein Helga, Sheena (uncredited) - Francesca Marie Smith Phoebe, Siobhan (uncredited; unconfirmed) - Anndi McAfee Rhonda - Olivia Hack Lila - Ashley Buccille Mr. Simmons - Dan Butler Maria - Mayim Bialik Connie - Pamela Hayden Simone - Charisma Carpenter Mr. Frank - (uncredited)     * Phoebe's record has her last name spelled "Hyerdahl" (instead of "Heyerdahl")     * P.S. 118 must go up to sixth grade, since Phoebe calls sixth graders "P.S. 118's greatest minds" (does that include Ruth?)     * Speaking of Ruth, she's not in Mr. Frank's class     * Maria doesn't have the accent she had in "6th Grade Girls"     * Why did Helga ask Lila to cut off Rhonda's sweater tags?  With Phoebe, Helga was going to do the cutting     * When Helga and Phoebe leave the girls' bathroom together near the end, Helga pushes the door outward, but the hinges are on the inside, so it should only open inward
