"In Support Of" is the B part of the thirteenth and final episode of Season 1 of Pepper Ann and the twenty-third segment overall. It was paired with "Nicky Gone Bad" and originally aired on January 24, 1998.
Summary[]
Coach Doogan tells the P.E. class that they're going to need "support" for the upcoming trampoline lesson. Pepper Ann takes this to mean a bra and freaks out. She turns to Lydia for help, but still doesn't get the message that "everyone develops at his or her own pace".
Quotes[]

Store owner: You boobs! How many times have I told you, put the tomatoes across from the lentils? Kid: Busted. |
Lydia: Pepper Ann, do you want breasts? Pepper Ann: What?! Lydia: I'm baking chicken. Do you want breasts or thighs? |
Milo: I'm glad you listened to me and went with the daisies! |

Trivia[]
- This is the first appearance of Margot LeSandre. Strangely, she and Lydia seem to have no history together (as Margot introduces herself) and seem to get along just fine, contrary to what we learn about their relationship in "Moose in Love".
- This episode marks the last, regular usage of the traditional cel animation technique. Most episodes after this one use digital coloring, with the exceptions of "Def Comedy Mom", "Effie Shrugged" and "The Beans of Wrath", which revert to the cel animation process.
