Overview[]

When Justin gets a big zit on his forehead right before the school dance, Alex tries to get rid of it but accidentally uses the animation spell on it instead. Now Justin has to deal with the trouble that his talking zit gets him into at the dance! Meanwhile, Alex accidentally animates her father's trophy and must search for it so that can learn the reversal spell to un-animate Justin's zit. Chaos ensues, but in the end, Justin finds out that Miranda, his date to the dance, has a zit too.

    Counter-spell

Production Notes[]

  • Murrieta Animata gets its name from Peter Murrieta, the program's producer.
  • Theresa's zit cure has a name. It's called Zit Paste.
  • In this episode, Jerry comments that Theresa is older than him by saying "Yeah, like your mother" to Justin's older woman comment. But in the episode Journey to the Center of Mason, Theresa calls Jerry an old man and Jerry replies that he is only two months older than her. This can be considered a goof.
