History Recap / BobsBurgersS6E6TheCookTheSteveTheGayleAndHerLover

* AnAesop:
** If a loved one finds a new romantic interest, don't ruin it for them by letting your own personal grievances get in the way; the happiness of your loved one should come first.
** Don't force a potential new relationship. Just let it happen organically if it's meant to be.
** A minor one: always check for potential dietary restrictions when inviting someone you don't know over for dinner.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: Bob assumes Steve to be this, and is dismayed when this turns out not to be the case, and that Steve is tired of people assuming his line of work to be like Franchise/IndianaJones.

* ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine: For once, it's Tina who's getting hit on by a creepy younger admirer with an odd voice and quirks, making her extremely uncomfortable of the entire evening. Furthermore, Xander takes her retainer, similar to how Tina procures the items of her crushers for her own creepy ownership.

* NecessaryEvil: Linda's justification for putting up with Frond for the evening, acknowledging that her family is understandably ''not'' fond of him but feeling Gayle needs at least one stable relationship or she might end up living with them.

** Steve somehow didn't realize that ''creme fraiche'' contained cream until he suddenly had to bolt to the bathroom for diarrhea, even though it's literally in the name (and is so obviously cream you couldn't mistake it for anything else). He also failed to tell Bob about his intolerance in advance (which is arguably a very important thing to do if you're invited to dinner).

* AbhorrentAdmirer: Steve's son, Xander, to Tina. He's ten years old, short, dumpy, has a strange, grating voice and is also a kleptomaniac.

* CrazyJealousGuy: Teddy gets ''way'' too worked up about Bob's liking of Steve. Linda actually anticipated this and tried to pretend Steve wasn't coming over until Gene loudly mentioned it in front of Teddy.

!!Tropes

** Mr. Frond has been to the Belcher home before, all the way back in Season 1, yet it's not until he opens the door and sees the Belchers on the other end that he connects the dots.

* CantHoldHisLiquor: Mr. Frond. Justified; he's practically never had a sip of alcohol before the dinner.

* SwappedRoles: Tina fully expects to fall for Steve's son Xander... until learning how young he is. Instead, he falls in love with ''her''. And much like Tina's love interests tend not to be into her, Tina isn't into Xander.
* TranslationWithAnAgenda: Not the first time Louise has done this with Tina. Tina's song is just generic Spanish phrases (the lyrics literally translate to "Hello, my name is Tina", "My dog is large", and "Where is the bathroom?"), but Louise over-elaborately twists it into a monologue about Gayle staying away from Mr. Frond.

** Steve somehow didn't realize that ''creme fraiche'' contained cream until he suddenly had to bolt to the bathroom for diarrhea, even though it's literally in the name. He also failed to tell Bob about his intolerance in advance (which is arguably a very important thing to do if you're invited to dinner).

* StickyFingers: Xander suffers from this, but is in complete denial.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: After Tina's song, Xander says 'el singer es muy caliente' - one part of this is clearly an intended bad translation, the other perhaps not so much. 'El singer' is clearly meant to be a joke. The second half 'es muy caliente' would literally translate as 'she's very hot'--but in Spanish, this phrases more or less implies the subject likes to have sex a lot. While trying to compliment her, Xander unwittingly implied Tina is a slut.

'El singer' is clearly meant to be a joke. The second half 'es muy caliente' would literally translate as 'she's very hot' but in Spanish this phrases more or less has connotations of the subject likes to have sex a lot. So Xander essentially implied Tina is a slut, without meaning to.

----

* OutOfOrder: This episode introduces Mr Frond as Gayle's new boyfriend to the family's shock. Two episodes before, they were all aware that Gayle and Frond were dating and had no problem (that's because this episode was produced before that one and was delayed in airing)

* TranslationWithAnAgenda: Not the first time Louise has done this with Tina. Tina's song is just generic Spanish phrases (the lyrics literally translate to "Hello, my name is Tina", "My dog is large", and "Where is the bathroom?"), but Louise over-elaborately twists it into a monologue about Gayle staying away from Mr. Frond.
