"The Telltale Fuzzy" is the 12th episode of the fourth season of Pepper Ann. It aired on February 13, 2000.

Synopsis[]

Pepper Ann finds a wad of money at the mall and blows it on a Fuzzy velvet painting, but her conscience begins to bother her, as she feels she should have, at least, turned in the money to the police or asked around to see if anyone lost it.

Plot[]

While at the mall, Pepper Ann spots a wad of cash with no name or initials on it and is entices to spend it on the thing she has always wanted: A Velvet Fuzzy Painting. Upon bringing the painting home, it personifies and admonishes Pepper Ann; suggesting that the wad of cash may have belonged to someone who needed it. Feeling guilty, Pepper Ann decides to return it, but it was a final sale. Milo and Nicky come over to check on Pepper Ann who continues to hear the Fuzzy Painting talk to her, though Milo and Nicky do not hear it, and leave. Pepper Ann resolves to be a better person.

Skating through town, Pepper Ann begins to perform a wide variety of good deeds; becoming inhumanly determined to help those in need or be charitable. Her actions of returning a pile of quarters and giving Milo an ice cream cone are caught on television and soon Pepper Ann's good deeds are spread across all of Hazelnut with her name being plastered in the newspapers and many of her friends and family coming out and saying how much of a good girl she is. She is set to accept the "nutcracker to the city" in a charitable event.

Eventually, the pressures of the ceremony are interrupted by Pepper Ann who admits to taking the wad of cash and using it for her personal gain. Everyone agrees that if they were in that situation, they too would have probably done the same and that she was just being human. Back at home, Pepper Ann tells Milo and Nicky that she plans to work to get the money back and return it with her friends supporting her. When they ask what she spent it on, she claims it was a skateboard for Moose, but the Fuzzy Painting comments that they will find out eventually. Milo and Nicky supposedly hear the painting this time.
