#TheMinus is the 14th episode of Season 2 of DC Super Hero Girls. This is the 66th episode overall.
Plot
In Metropolis High, it's report card day, as the Girls are excited to see how well they performed at the semester. When Diana looks at her report card, she sees a weird mark next to one of her A's. Zee says that it's a minus. Most of the time, Diana tends to get A's and A+'s on her report card. She asks the counselor if they gave her the A- erroneously, but her grade was final. Now knowing that her perfect track is broken, she vents in the janitor closet.
5 days later, Diana is seen laying on the couch, still devastated by the "A-" she received on her report card. Each girl then tries to help Diana with the problem:
- Jessica uses medtiative breating.
- Kara, punches her dummy replica of Superman.
- Babs uses a special party hat and offers one to Diana
- Zee gives her a makeover but Diana's tears ruin it.
Karen then reveals to Diana and the others the reason why she got the A- via a chart she created; It seems that due to all of her school/civilian/heroic activities she spread herself way too thin. However Diana misinterprets this and believes she needs to spread herself more thick and mistakes the chart as a to-do list and plans to regain her perfection. Diana then writes something on a scroll and calls a hawk to deliver something for her from Themyscira, which is revealed to be a type of fruit called "The Mystical Fruit of Hermes", which will allow her to do more of her activities without spreading herself too thin.
During a montage, Diana spreads herself even more to maximize her perfection with various activities such as combining two of her clubs together, defeating a robot monster by herself and consuming more of the mystical fruit in between. Later Karen spots Diana doing weightlifting while reading a book as she believes that the chart Karen created for her helped her and her problem with the A- she got. Karen tries to tell her that some people would be okay with an A-, but Diana refuses to believe it and rather than explain why, she starts doing more workout and more school work.
Later at Sweet Justice as the girls try to figure out a way to help Diana, Kara suggests stealing the fruit that gives her the energy she got with Babs deciding to taste one of them which causes her to act more hyperactive than usual and literally bounce off the walls. Karen then believes that instead of the fruit, they need to get rid of the chart, which Babs explains that the chart is Diana's way of coping with the A- she gotten and the girls agreed to obtain the chart and believe Diana would hand it over, However when Diana actively refuses to give them her chart, Karen transforms into Bumblebee and takes the chart by force, resulting in a game of Keep-Away as the girls try to help prevent Diana from re-obtaining the chart.
Then as Karen gets the chart and proceeds to throw it in a trash truck, Diana approaches her and demands she hand it over. But Karen explains that the chart was originally meant to help her see that the A- is nothing to worry about as she showed her what she has done not only to her but her friends as well. After Karen finally told Diana what she needed to hear about not being perfect, Diana started to cry, and tearfully accepts it. She forgets about the chart and has it destroyed by crushing it into the machine, and the girls having a group hug but ending it quickly due to the smell.
