"Bye, Bye Trinket" is the 21st episode of the fourth season of Pepper Ann. It aired on February 20, 2000.
Synopsis[]
When Trinket announces that she's transferring to a boarding school, her dumb blonde friend Cissy is crushed. Everyone wishes her best of luck, but Pepper Ann is apathetic since she and Trinket never got along.
Plot[]
As the class are all giving their poetry reports, Trinket suddenly gets a call, informing her that she has been accepted into the all girls school, Lycée D'école. Everyone is shocked and saddened by the news, except Pepper Ann who shows total indifference towards the news. Nicky finds it odd that Pepper Ann would feel that way as she has an opinion on everything, but she reminds her that she and Trinket never got along with each other to begin with, a realization that Nicky accepts as she finds it a suitable response.
Pepper Ann's reflection tries to remind her of her interactions with each other and after encountering a saddened Cissy and her memory of first meeting with Trinket (which may or may not have been an episode of a television show), Pepper Ann is convinced that Trinket just wanted to be her friend this entire time and decides to throw a going away party for her. Nicky believes that the party will be a disaster, as is the case with Pepper Ann's parties, and tries to talk her out of it, to no avail, while Trinket reluctantly accepts.
The party turns out to be rather pleasant with Pepper Ann trying to befriend Trinket by getting personal, who shows no interest at all. Nicky tries to stop a repeat of disasters and gets injured during the whole ordeal while Trinket calls Pepper Ann a freak and moves on to other things. The next day, Nicky criticizes Pepper Ann for her bad planning until Pepper Ann points out that it was technically her fault for incepting the idea into her head, though Nicky completely denies this. Trinket ends up returning to Hazelnut Middle School due to her bad phone reception, forgives Pepper Ann and returns to her shallow ways, while Pepper Ann is tasked with throwing a return party.

Trivia[]
- Lycée D'école is a play on Lycée Decour.
- Pepper Ann was actually correct in this episode. If it were not for Nicky, she would not have gotten into another misadventure.
- Milo accepts that his hair is blue-black as opposed to simply black as he said in "Live and Let Dye".
- Trinket makes a comment on how it seems like they have been in the seventh grade for a long time; a nod to how the series exists on a sliding time scale, as most cartoons tend to do.
