Role in Series[]
Maximum Hugh[]
Susie participates in the Parent-Child Picnic Games together with Cindy. Since these competitions are only for kids and their parents, she wears a disguise to look identical to her sister Sasha. She is seen boxing a piece of ham tied to a tree branch as preparation for the games. Cindy tells Susie that she cannot wait to see Jimmy's face when they "whip his butt". Susie asks about Hugh, saying that he is in a lifelong battle with gravity. When Susie is done boxing the ham, Ms. Fowl asks if the catering table can have its ham back. Ms. Fowl then walks away with the ham.
Soon, Susie appears at the catching line at the Marshmallow Toss with the other parents. She then appears when Cindy gets ready to throw her first marshmallow. Susie then appears acting like an umpire for Cindy to throw the marshmallow. When Susie gives the signal to start throwing, Cindy does so, and Susie catches the first two marshmallows. Soon, she appears when Ebenezer Wheezer is writhing in pain on the ground. In this shot, Cindy is shown throwing a marshmallow and it is flying over Susie's head. Soon, Hugh is shown doing move similar to the move Neo pulls in The Matrix when dodging bullets, but instead Hugh catches marshmallows with his tongue. In the shot, Susie briefly appears.
Soon, Susie appears with Cindy on her back when they line up for the Piggyback Teacher Hurdles. Susie and Cindy then appear beginning the race. Susie and Cindy jump over the first hurdle, which is Principal Willoughby. Susie and Cindy then jump over the second hurdle, Ms. Fowl. Susie and Cindy are then shown running with Jimmy and Hugh not far behind. To get ahead, Hugh jumps and lands at the finish line. Susie and Cindy soon arrive. Susie walks off angrily.
After Jimmy apologizes for enhancing Hugh's headband to make him better at the Games, Susie and Cindy walk past. Susie gives an exaggerated sniff and says, "Smell that, Cindy. That's the stench of loserdom." This angers Hugh and he insults her. Jimmy is confused by Hugh's reaction as he just gave a short speech about the fellowship of sports. Hugh explains that losing sucks and that they need to beat the Vortex Team.
Soon, Susie appears at the Blindfolded Chariot Race. She is wearing a blindfold and holding a toy wagon with Cindy inside. Susie then appears starting the race. Susie then appears behind Hugh and Jimmy while Jimmy instructs his father to go left. Susie's arm appears when Cindy instructs Susie that there's a cone at "2'clock". She then tells Susie when to go left. Parts of Susie then appear when Cindy rams her toy wagon into Jimmy's. Susie and Cindy then appear at the finish line, taking in the applause of the audience.
Soon, Coach Gruber, the host of the event, awards Team Vortex with their award and reveals that this is their third win in a row. When Susie gets on the stage, she formally waves. However, Jimmy stops the award ceremony to claim that Sasha is an impostor. Cindy is surprised by this claim, saying that the woman next to her is her mother. Jimmy says that it is unlikely that this Sasha is really Cindy's mother as it is unlikely that Cindy wouldn't share the same eye color, foot size, and earlobe length with her mother. Cindy denies this while Susie starts to show signs that she is not really Sasha. Susie begins to look nervous and starts to walk away, but Jimmy points out the zipper on Sasha's neck, which Goddard unzips, revealing Susie's actual appearance. Cindy is shocked by the reveal, while Susie just flexes. She reveals that she is an Olympic Athlete and a foldout model in "Buff Chick Magazine". This explains her great performance at the games and disqualifies the Team Vortex.
Hugh starts calling them cheaters and claiming that it means that he and Jimmy win, forgetting that he and Jimmy also cheated. When Jimmy corrects his dad, Susie is shown in the background. Soon, Susie appears next to Coach Gruber and Cindy when Mr. Simkins confesses to cheating. Soon, Susie appears when Coach Gruber calls the rest of the teams disgraceful and asks if there was any team that didn't cheat.
Maternotron Knows Best[]
Susie is seen on an exercise bike next to Judy's at Hot Springs Spa.
Trivia[]
- Towards the beginning, Ms. Fowl mentions that she believes that Cindy and her mother will win this year's Parent-Child Picnic Games again. Thus, it is very likely that Susie took her sister's place in previous games as well.
- Her close resemblance to Sasha Vortex is a clear indication that are sisters. However, the fact that she shares the same last name as Mr. & Mrs. Vortex suggests that Lex Vortex goes by the last name of his wife.
- Another, less likely, explanation would be that Susie is married to a relative of Lex.
