One day, Vicky uses a truth serum on Timmy to make him blurt out his secrets--he is disgusted by bare feet, clowns scare him, he is allergic to oranges, and his fish are fairy godparents. Luckily, Vicky didn't seem to hear the last part and the next day at school, she and all the students are celebrating "Bare Feet Orange-Juggling Day." Seeing that Timmy wants to exploit Vicky's secrets like she did with him, Cosmo says that a girl usually writes her secrets in a diary, so Timmy wishes for Vicky's diary so he can use her secrets to make her life miserable. Cosmo and Wanda try to stop him from reading it and inform him that a girl's diary is a special place for her to write all about one's troubles, and nobody has the right to read it. However, Timmy thinks they're just being paranoid and reads an entry aloud about Wanda in squirrel-form looking fat. Deeply insulted, Wanda reads through the diary as well, becoming thirsty for revenge like Timmy. The diary also reveals that she thinks the squirrel that looked like Cosmo was cute, complete with a drawing of squirrel Cosmo wearing his shirt and tie.

Trying to manipulate Vicky's diary secrets to get Vicky to embarrass herself in front of her crush Winston Dunsworth, Timmy fails several times, actually making Winston like her even more. Finally, when Vicky becomes a cheerleader for Winston, Timmy wishes for her to blurt out all the secrets in her diary, including her tendency to lie and cheat, her hatred of cows, and how she puts her boogers in other people's history books. Winston admits that he does not mind the lying or cheating, but he loves cows and hates snot in history books and dumps Vicky.

When Timmy finally got Vicky to spill her deepest darkest secrets, he suddenly decides Cosmo was right - he had gone too far this time and decides to make it up to Vicky by trying to get Winston Dunsworth back together with Vicky. Cosmo then suggests they read Winston's diary, where they find out that he is afraid of the color pink. Since Wanda has pink hair, she transforms into a squirrel and stands in front of Winston, and Vicky beats up squirrel Wanda to defend Winston and win him back. When Timmy reveals to Vicky that he knows she didn't like the pink squirrel, she uses the truth serum to make him reveal that he read her diary, which enrages her and makes her beat him up like she did with Wanda.

Tropes:

Absurd Phobia: Timmy has a secret fear of clowns, bare feet and he's allergic to oranges. Vicky has a secret fear of cows, and Winston hates the color pink.
All Guys Want Cheerleaders: Winston Dunsworth is attracted to Vicky because of things that remind him of the hunt, such as skunks and werewolves. He then wishes that Vicky were a cheerleader, as he'd go out with her if she was. This inspires Vicky to take up cheerleading.
Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear if Timmy swapped the female makeup artist with a male movie make up artist or if the female make up artist was Gender Swapped.
Babysitter from Hell: Mr. and Mrs. Turner hire a backup babysitter after Vicky was left heartbroken. Unfortunately, said "babysitter" makes Vicky seem like an improvement by comparison."GIVE US THE BOY!"
Berserk Button: Do not call Wanda fat.
Winston doesn't approve of Vicky being scared of cows and leaving boogers on history books, and breaks up with her because of this.
Brick Joke: Winston mentions "the hunt" several times, and Wanda opens "the hunt" on Cosmo after he mocked her weight.
Cruelty by Feet: Vicky treats Timmy as an ottoman at the beginning of the episode even after discovering that he hates feet. She makes it even worse in the next scene when she gets his classmates to dress up as barefoot clowns to torture him even more.
Diaries Are Girly: As Timmy and Wanda are about to sneak a peek into Vicky's diary, Cosmo retorts, "A diary is where a girl...and me...can express their feelings without being judged."
Dominance Through Furniture: Vicky literally uses Timmy as a footrest at the beginning of the episode.
Dumbass Has a Point: Cosmo points out that it's a bad idea to use Vicky's diary to humiliate her. Wanda agrees with him, along with Timmy at the end, despite going along with the latter's scheme.
Everyone Has Standards: As much as Timmy hates Vicky, he's legitimately freaked out by Wanda's suggestions for revenge, like something in "the angry biker family."
Evil Laugh: Both Timmy and Wanda do one while pointing a flashlight at their faces.
Gone Horribly Right: Timmy's attempts to sabotage Vicky's date with Winston (such as replacing her perfume with a skunk and hiring a monster makeup person to do her makeup) backfire, as they remind Winston of the hunt.
Gross-Up Close-Up: During "Orange Juggling Barefoot Clown Day" a grotesque foot's closeup is shown.
Here We Go Again!: Cosmo mocks Wanda's weight, and she decides to get revenge on her husband.Wanda: Gentlemen, time for the hunt!Cosmo: Ah! Dear diary: I'm scared of the hunt!
Horrible Judge of Character: Timmy's parents seem genuinely incapable of not hiring babysitters who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near children judging from Vicky's "replacements."
Informed Flaw: Timmy doesn't have podophobia in any other episode, even the beach/pool ones. It may just be annoyance from whenever Vicky forces him to give her pedicures as a punishment.note Will the Real Cosmo Please Stand Up, Cower Hour, and Abra-Catastrophe
Lesser of Two Evils: Vicky serves as this to Timmy's backup babysitter. Timmy's parents hiring said backup babysitter prompts Timmy to set things right between Winston and Vicky.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Nearly every attempt by Timmy and Wanda to get Vicky's crush to break up with her actually ends with Winston liking her more. It isn't until Vicky blurts out her darkest secrets when Winston breaks up with her.
Nose Nuggets: One of the secrets that Timmy reveals about Vicky is that she picks her nose when nobody's looking and wipes it on her classmates' history books. This is what causes Winston to break up with Vicky, since he hates finding boogers on his history books.
Not So Above It All: Wanda, normally the Only Sane Man, ends up joining Timmy in his scheme of using Vicky's diary to embarrass her after hearing that Vicky called her fat, and suggested resorting to violence in order to humiliate Vicky.
Pay Evil unto Evil: After Vicky uses the truth serum to reveal Timmy's darkest secrets, Timmy does the same to her by stealing her diary.
Plot Hole: Winston Dunsworth hates the color pink, but he doesn't seem to be put off by the color of Vicky's eyes and the clothing of a fellow cheerleader, which are pink.
Running Gag:
Winston Dunsworth mentioning "the hunt" when he sees or smells something undesirable or disgusting.
Wanda suggesting violent methods of revenge against Vicky and Timmy turning them down in favor of a Mundane Solution.
Scary Flashlight Face: When Timmy and Wanda laugh evilly, they hold a flashlight under their faces. They do this for so long that the flashlight's batteries run out.Timmy: The batteries are dead already? Wow, we're really being evil today!
Smelly Skunk: One of the ways Timmy tries to sabotage Vicky's date with Winston is by replacing her perfume with a skunk. This backfires because Winston loves skunks; they remind him of the hunt.
Vocal Dissonance: The monster movie make up artist is a large and stocky guy with facial hair, but he sounds like a Camp Gay guy.
You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Wanda utters this when she and Timmy find out Winston's least favorite color.

Have you ever kept a diary? A diary, sometimes called a journal, is a book in which you keep a daily record of events and experiences. It can also be a place to record your thoughts or feelings. Diaries can be interesting to look back on because they remind you of events in your life that you may have forgotten. Most people who keep diaries write in them at the end of the day, just before they go to bed.

Did you know that Queen Victoria kept a journal for most of her life? She wrote her first diary entry in 1832, aged thirteen. She continued for nearly sixty-nine years, writing her final entry shortly before she died in 1901, aged eighty-one. In total, 141 volumes of her diary survive, numbering 43,765 pages!
