'''A Plot:''' The Leroys get a hot tub, and when Lacey decides to come try it out, she is weirded out by Oscar and Emma's behavior. Lacey gets into even more hot water when others, including Karen, assume she likes bathing with the elderly couple.

'''B Plot:''' Davis wows the crowds in his role as "Safety Pete", a safety mascot for the town. He gets one-upped when Karen dons the costume instead and displays a flashier move set. Davis tries to up his game to compete.

'''C Plot:''' Hank's house is damaged when he accidentally runs into it with his truck. Brent is suspicious when Wanda insists Hank is staying at her house. Brent makes it his goal to prove she and Hank are lying.

-->'''Brent:''' Geez, it's like the floor of a Waffle House in here.
* BowChickaWowWow: Wanda hums this when making fun of Lacey's hot tub "adventures" with Emma and Oscar.
* CannotTellAJoke:
-->'''Emma:''' We're having a hot tub party tonight.\\
'''Oscar:''' Why don't you come by? We'll tub.\\
'''Lacey:''' Are you saying there's a party in your tub and ''I'm'' invited? ''[She laughs at herself.]''\\
'''Emma:''' ''[not amused]'' What's that supposed to mean?
* ClusterBleepBomb: Davis [[AmusingInjuries badly injures himself]] attempting a dangerous stunt as Safety Pete. He lets loose a string of bleeped curses to a stunned crowd of parents and children.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Davis decides to give a tragic backstory for Safety Pete, where [[ParentalAbandonment someone killed his parents]] in an unsafe way and that's why he's now dedicated to safety.
* DescriptionCut:
-->'''Brent:''' Yeah, I heard some lunatic drove through your kitchen.\\
''[Cut to Hank trying to back out in his truck and putting it into drive instead, [[CarMeetsHouse driving into his own kitchen]].]''
* DoNotDoThisCoolThing: The Safety Pete demonstrations devolve into this, claiming to promote safety while performing risky acrobatic moves the kids love.
* EmbarrassingNickname:
-->'''Oscar:''' Hey, it's the Big Tubber!\\
'''Brent:''' I'm trying to lose weight, okay!\\
'''Oscar:''' I was talking to Lacey.\\
'''Lacey:''' Oh great! I ''really'' hope that's not a nickname that sticks.
* GoofySuit: The Safety Pete costume is a cutesy-looking rodent. Davis is thrilled to wear the costume, but Karen shows much less interest.
* IResembleThatRemark:
-->'''Emma:''' We heard you chased Karen and the others away so you could hot tub alone with us. Now that's a little weird.\\
'''Oscar:''' A ''lot'' weird.\\
'''Lacey:''' That is not true! Karen left all on her own after [[ToiletHumour I pretended to have diarrhea]]. I am ''not'' weird.
* MaintainTheLie: Hank and Wanda ''try'' to with Brent.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Brent teases his father by pretending not to notice the new hot tub in their yard.
* ParentalSexualitySquick: Brent refuses to get into the hot tub.
-->'''Brent:''' I'm more of a "shower" guy... "shower alone" type of guy... more of a "not bathe with my parents" type of guy.
* PullTheThread: Brent has a lot of fun doing this to Hank and Wanda, even taking Hank right over to Wanda's house and staying for a ridiculous amount of time.
* ShoutOut: When Brent thinks he's caught Hank and Wanda, he exclaims "a-ha!", only to find that Wanda is one step ahead of him. When pressed by Wanda, Brent claims he was just mentioning [[Music/{{Aha}} his favorite Norwegian band from the '80s]].
* StealthInsult:
-->'''Davis:''' I decided last night when working on Safety Pete's character, [[TheVoiceless he doesn't speak]].\\
'''Karen:''' That's something you should explore more with your Davis character.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Some of Wanda and Hank's explanations come off this way.
-->'''Hank:''' The important thing to remember is that I'm sleeping at her place, and nowhere else.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: This is why Brent is so leery of Hank supposedly staying at Wanda's house, especially considering Wanda is even ''less'' fond of Hank than most. A RapidFireComedy gag shows several people reacting negatively to even the possibility of Hank staying with them. Brent then finds it jarring that Wanda is the one who says yes. Of course, it turns out Brent is right. The whole thing is a ruse so Hank can stay overnight at the gas station and do cleaning that would otherwise be Wanda's job.
* VerbalBackspace:
-->'''Lacey:''' ''[discreetly]'' Wanda, I need your advice on a private matter.\\
'''Wanda:''' Oh, you mean that weird hot tub thing with you and Oscar and Emma?\\
'''Lacey:''' Okay, more of a ''public'' matter.
