Talkin' Trash

Talkin' Trash is an episode of The New Adventures of Captain Planet. It first aired 13 November 1993.
== Summary ==
The Planeteers fly Wheeler to his Brooklyn, New York neighborhood to visit his family, even though he already knows the reunion won't be friendly. The Planeteers summon Captain Planet only once to put out a fire started by a gang of troublemakers led by Verminous Skumm. Afterwards, Wheeler is on his own for the rest of the episode. He tries to reconcile with his estranged father, whose drinking has led to a severe case of cirrhosis of the liver. He also runs into his ex-girlfriend, Trish, who now calls herself Trash, and reveals that she and several others joined Verminous Skumm's gang. Wheeler pleads with her to give up her current lifestyle, but she stubbornly refuses, until fellow gang member Frankie is tragically killed while performing a dangerous stunt at the railroad. Skumm is defeated, Wheeler patches things up with his dad, and Trish goes back to her birth name, and mends her ways for good.
