History Recap / KingOfTheHillS12E13TheAccidentalTerrorist

* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Scrupulously honest salesman that he himself is, Hank genuinely didn't pick up on the fact that Hammond had been ripping him off for years, sand seemed to find the idea of a salesman being dishonest unthinkable.

** "Sparrow" and "Falcon" get away with the car lot torching, courtesy of everyone thinking it was Hank.

* SuspectIsHatless: Hank's description of Sparrow, a scraggly college-age guy with a chin beard, isn't super helpful. As he finds out when returns to the copy shop where they met, and they're all over the place.

** Downplayed: Hammond is free to continue to swindle other people, but by his own admittance there are very few suckers as easily fooled as Hank (with [[KnowNothingKnowItAll Peggy]] of all people as proof) and he still lost a significant chunk of his cars to the terrorist attack.

* PyrrhicVictory: Even if he gets away to continue to swindle other people, Hammond still lost about a hundred cars to Sparrow and Falcon's terrorism (and they would not have had the opportunity had Hank not recruited them). He also tells his lawyer (who reminds him that they have an OpenAndShutCase against Hank) that they ''could'' win, but Hank would raise such a stink over Hammond's dishonest (and ''illegal'') practices that he would be screwed, so [[PragmaticVillainy he is going to let Hank go free]].

* KarmaHoudini: "Sparrow" and "Falcon" get away with the car lot torching, courtesy of everyone thinking it was Hank.

* TheCassandra: Hank is cleared of all vandalism charges, but Tom Hammond doesn't believe his denial. He decides to catch Hank a break because he paid sticker price for his vehicles. And Hank would fight him all the way to court about it.

* KarmaHoudini: "Sparrow" and "Falcon" get away with the car lot torching, courtesy of everyone thinking it was Hank. Though when the two encounter Hank again at the end when shopping for Bobby's gaming console, they visibly panic, aware that Hank could still turn them in at any time and properly clear things up.

* PokeThePoodle: Hank's idea of a subversive attack on a dishonest car dealership is to place copies of the message "this man is dishonest" on the windshield of every car in the lot. He gets in trouble because he unknowingly recruits two true-blue vandals to help him.

-->'''Clerk''': Sir, we got a liberal arts college and a halfway house down the street. You're gonna have to be more specific.

** Bobby at the beginning, while nowhere near as uninformed as he was in "[[Recap/KingOfTheHillS8E8RichHankPoorHank Rich Hank, Poor Hank]], is called out on his plan to buy a games console off of eBay by Hank, as the boy could easily be ripped off.

* TheCassandra: Hank is cleared of all vandalism charges, but the salesman doesn't believe his denial. He decides to catch Hank a break because he paid sticker price for his vehicles.

* SuspectIsHatless: Hank's description of Sparrow, a scraggly college age guy with a chin beard, isn't super helpful. As he finds out when returns to the copy shop where they met, and they're all over the place.

After finding out his "car guy" has been duping him for decades, Hank decides to strike back. And winds up engaged in an act of vandalism that could send him to prison.

* WhatAnIdiot: Tom Hammond could have easily kept Hank's loyalty and avoided problems at his dealership by simply refunding the difference Hank overpaid for Peggy's car or offering Hank a discount on future repairs. You'd expect that after 25 years of Hank providing him profit, Tom would cut him a break as a reward for his loyal patronage, especially knowing how dogged Hank is with an issue once he thinks he's in the right. Instead, Tom suffers several hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damages to his cars from the teens that Hank meets and unwittingly aids in their plans.
