Wolfgang-Gerald episode?

Okay, how about this.

One day at school, Arnold does something that upsets Wolfgang (maybe he accidentally throws food on him after slipping in the cafeteria, bursts a pen over him, etc) and Wolfgang decides to beat Arnold up in a day's time.

Gerald however won't stand for this, and decides to ask Jamie-O for advice...Jamie-O tells Gerald he doesn't want him fighting, but gives him advice anyway - to find Wolfgang's weakness and exploit it.

Gerald misunderstands Jamie-O and rather than finding a weakness in the way Wolfgang fights, he decides to find something to blackmail him with.

The episode could end with Gerald finding plenty of stuff to blackmail Wolfgang with (maybe he goes to ballet or takes singing lessons, or plays with his little sister and her dolls) but ends up with Gerald and Wolfgang perhaps making peace, with Wolfgang deciding not to beat up Arnold - this time.

The first paragraph sounds too much like in "24 Hours to Live". What made the events to develop in other way than that time?

I can see Wolfgang going to Arnold (and Gerald) for advice though. Maybe he likes this girl but its obvious she doesnt want a tough guy. So, they do things to make him a nicer guy. I have no idea how thats going to work but im sure you get a little bit of what I mean

EDIT: We can make a twist in the end that the girl is actually a bully too (just think of an older Helga) and they beat both Arnold and Gerald up. Bleh, just random ideas

Hellerick - it could now just be a standard playground rule
ger5632 - like your idea

it could now just be a standard playground rule

I think it's called Helga law, since she was both inventor and a victim of it.

Well, I don't think Wolfgang would ever ask Arnold for an advice. But I can imagine Arnold deciding that for they own good they should make Wolfgang happy, and to make him happy they have to set him up with a girl he obviously likes. Of course even if his plan succeeds, it won't save him from being beaten up.

Oh yea! It could be like Wolfgang is all upset that the girl doesn't notice him and keeps torturing the HA! gang because of that. So, Arnold persuades the whole gang to help him. Like different people from their gang can help him at particular parts. Okay, some random examples:
-Lila teaches him table manners
-Eugene teaches him to dance (idk)
-Arnold teaches him to be nice, i guess?
-Gerald teaches him to be smooth talking and stuff

Yea, random examples. It does remind me a little of 'New Bully On The Block' but heck, if they could do 'Save The Neighbourhood' and 'Save The Tree' i'm sure this would be okay.

Probably Arnold should rather work with the girl?

Haha, I definitely think Wolfgang should have a crush on a girl who is obviously uninterested and has been taking out his aggression on the gang. This gives them a pretty good reason to intervene, especially since it's SUPER unlikely that Wolfgang would ever stoop to asking them for advice.

At first he's like: "What? NO. You're stupid fifth graders and I don't need your stupid help.", but then maybe the girl walks by and sticks her nose up at him and he's like: "Okay, fine. Help me out here and I won't even look at any of you for a week." And Arnold's like: "A week?" Wolfgang: "Okay, fine. Three weeks and that's me being very generous. >"
