Angela Anaconda

Out On A Limb (3x22)

:

Nanette blurts out that her father will be building a new mall. The mall will be built where the old oak tree now stands. In other words, Nanette's father plans to tear the beloved tree down! The tree is the oldest, largest tree in the city. Gina, Johnny and Gordy all want to pay their last respects to the old tree. They have many fond memories of climbing it. Angela remembers that she's never actually climbed it, she's taken in for granted. When her friends are finished, Angela decides to have a climb. Getting up is the easy part, she's afraid to come down. A reporter comes by to do a story on the tree. He demands Angela come down, to get out of his camera shot. She refuses. He takes her refusal as a sign of protest, assuming she wants to save the tree. Angela becomes the lead story on the six o'clock news. People come by to congratulate her, to encourage her. No one comes by to help her down, not even her parents. It looks like Angela might be stuck in the old oak tree forever. That is, until Howell Manoir caves in and decides not to tear it down after all.
