Gossipy Girl is the thirty-seventh episode of the second season, and the second-season finale of The Casagrandes.

Plot

When a Sid secret is leaked at school, Ronnie Anne and Sid wonder if they can continue being best buds.

Why It Gossips Badly

1. The premise of Ronnie Anne and her friends suspecting Sid revealing their embarrassing secrets to their school is a weak premise.
2. The episode is very mean-spirited to Ronnie Anne, Sid, Casey, Sameer, Nikki, and Laird for having their embarrassing secrets revealed at school and becoming the laughing stock of their classmates. For a episode of a spin-off of a very popular Nicktoon, haven't the writers learned anything from ruining the Loud kids?
   • The premise feels more like a bad Loud House episode from season 4-present (especially with its mean spirited nature) Heck replace Ronnie Anne with Lincoln, Sid with Clyde, Casey, Sameer, Nikki, and Laird with Rusty, Zach, Liam and Stella, Becky and/or Artemis with Chandler and the other students of Cesar Chavez Academy with the Royal Woods Middle School students then you have a episode of the Loud House (season 4-present) right there!
3. The infamous mean-spirited moments where Becky sets up a fake wedding with Ronnie Anne and Artemis after hearing she had a dream where she and he got married and Ronnie Anne runs away crying, and later when Sid reveals her secret and gets laughed at by the school and starts to cry.
4. Becky, Artemis, Sergio, and the students of Cesar Chavez Academy are unlikable:
   • Becky is unlikable for humiliating Ronnie Anne with the fake wedding at the school and Artemis willingly participates in the fake wedding in contribution to Ronnie Anne’s humiliation.
     • Becky, Artemis, and the school also get no comeuppance for treating Ronnie Anne, and the others.
   • Sergio is also unlikable for button-mashing Breakfast Bot’s buttons to use him as a phone to call his ex-girlfriend but end up revealing their secrets.
5. The twist where Sid was innocent and Sergio was responsible for doing the friends’ embarrassing secrets to the school was predictable.
6. Instead of standing up to Becky, Artemis and the other students of Cesar Chavez Academy for Sid (when she reveals her secret in-front of the school) Ronnie Anne and her friends choose to reveal their embarrassing secrets. They could have use this opportunity standing up to Becky, Artemis and the other students of Cesar Chavez Academy.
7. Plot Holes:
   • Why can't Ronnie Anne and her friends just tell the principal or their parents that Becky and Artemis are humiliating them?
   • On a side note, couldn't Ronnie Anne and her friends just stand up to Becky and Artemis?
8. Some of the friends’ secrets were more weird than embarrassing:
   • Casey keeps a jar of his baby teeth under his hat.
   • Sameer putting mayonnaise in his hair to give it volume.
   • Nikki is afraid of sock puppets and has a hairy toe.
   • Laird picks his nose with his feet.
   • Sid has a birthmark on her foot that looks like Abraham Lincoln.
9. Overall, this is an awful way to end Season 2 in production order.

Redeeming Qualities

1. The scene where Sid flashbacks to her sleepwalking and wakes up Adelaide and tangos with her pet snake Cam was the only funny moment of the episode.
2. The ending is actually decent.
3. Unlike "This Bird Has Flown", Sergio gets his comeuppance, too bad the same can’t be said for Becky, Artemis, and the school.
   • Sergio wasn’t as unlikable as he was in “This Bird Had Flown”, and to be fair, Sergio's actions were more unintentional whereas in “This Bird Had Flown” he picks on Bobby for his sadistic amusement, but that still doesn’t excuse him.
4. Ronnie Anne, Sid, their friends, Adalaide Breakfast Bot are still likable characters.
   • Carl, Adelaide and Alexis were the only Cesar Chavez Academy students who didn’t participate in being mean to Ronnie Anne, and the others because Carl probably has standards and seeing his cousin being humiliated by other students is too mean-spirited for him, while Adelaide would never be mean to her older sister Plus, Adelaide is one of nicest kids in Great Lakes City and finally Alexis is a sweet, pure hearted and caring kid that would never bully anyone.
5. Good voice acting and animation as usual.

Reception

Not long after its premiere, this episode has gained a mixed-to-negative response from several fans of The Casagrandes, mainly due to the mistreatment of Ronnie Anne and her friends from their school, and the obvious twist where Sergio was the one who revealed the friends’ secrets. The episode had also been released in Canada before its USA release date. The episode has received a score of 5.7 from IMDb.

Trivia

• This marks the first time where Sid's full name Sidney was mentioned.
