An Ed Too Many

"An Ed Too Many" is the 9th episode of Season 1 and the 9th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Sarah develops a huge crush on Edd after he gives her a flower, and she then proceeds to cause trouble for The Eds' plans and scams.

Plot
The episode begins with The Eds, who are looking all over the yard for a four-leafed clover and Eddy is getting annoyed that he can't find one, complaining that he has looked everywhere. Suddenly, Eddy finds one! The Eds are happy about that and then try to think of ways to scam the cul-de-sac and also see if any fortunate events happen to them because of the four-leafed clover. Sadly nothing good happens, and they get hungry, so they leave to get some food. Along the way they find a rare flower (or weed, according to Eddy). Double D gives it to Sarah to stop her complaining about his friends' bad manners but his reward is her developing a huge crush on him, jilting poor Jimmy.

Understandably the others are distressed & outraged by Sarah's hot pursuit of her new and very reluctant boyfriend. Double D hides in closets, bushes, on top of the fridge, even under Ed's jacket in his efforts to give her the slip, but nothing works and his luck runs out when to Sarah's delight he gets trapped in quick drying paper maché and helplessly covered in hearts and flowers. At the same time, Jimmy is angry at Edd for taking Sarah away from him. He then begins to stamp on the flower in frustration only for Jonny to easily make fun of him while he is frustrated. At this point, Eddy decides it's just too pathetic to endure – a jealous Jimmy is needed pronto.

Ed and Eddy go off and find Jimmy alone on the seesaw. He then begins to fight them demanding Sarah back now. Eddy decides to get Sarah, so the two friendships can be rekindled to how they were before.

In the end, Sarah forgets about Double D and goes to play with Jimmy. Eddy is disappointed that the four-leafed clover didn't help them at all with good luck and decides to toss it. Jonny finds the four-leafed clover and then picks up a twenty-dollar bill as well. Eddy sees this and tries to catch up with Jonny but doesn't succeed. Ed's stomach growls and he says that he is hungry as the episode ends.

Trivia/Goofs

 * When Ed jumps onto Eddy, Eddy isn't holding the four-leaf clover, but in the next shot, he is holding it again.
 * This is the first appearance of the Baby Blue Gym Sock (flower). It later appears in the season 5 episode "A Fistful of Ed".
 * When Sarah pops out from under Edd's hat, you can see some of his head. Probably an animation oversight or might answer to the question of what's underneath Double D's hat.
