Although Eddy came up with the scheme in order to scare Kevin, Kevin is not the only one afraid of needles. In fact, everyone but Jonny and Edd were afraid of the day, so much so that Jimmy came to the event in armor and Nazz called her mom with a plain fear of death in her mind. These fears weren't helped by the rumors about the size of the needles going around school (a rumor assisted by Eddy and Ed) or the fact that Sarah had heard the needles could punch holes through truck tires.
