History Recap / CraigOfTheCreekS2E25MortimorToTheRescue

When Craig, Kelsey, and JP are stuck in an algae bog, Mortimor has to send for help.

* CellPhonesAreUseless: Craig, Kelsey, and JP all have cell phones, but can't call for help because they never memorized any numbers and they're the only ones on each other's contact lists.

* GaleForceSound: Cheesesticks gets the Stump Kids out of the bog by barking so loud, he pushes their raft out the other end. It even briefly separates their souls from their bodies, which JP comments on.
* IconicItem: Discussed; Kelsey and Craig are offended at JP's suggestions of using Kelsey's PVC sword or Craig's staff as paddles, telling him that he has no appreciation for "iconic accessories". JP counters that his long sleeves are his (which [[BrickJoke he later laments]] after losing his shirt).

* MuckingInTheMud: The kids raft through an thick algae bog, and get stuck when JP loses the paddle. They're very averse to climbing out to swim, which may be a genuine concern, as some that gets on JP's finger rapidly grows to cover his arm.

** While waiting in the raft, JP asks which end they're going to use as a bathroom.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: In a last effort to escape, Craig decides to pop the raft with a pencil, [[WrongGenreSavvy fully expecting that, like in cartoons, the escaping air will blow them to the shore]]. Instead, the raft just deflates while staying in place, putting the Stump trio even more at risk than they already were.
