History Recap / KingOfTheHillS13E3SquareFootedMonster

* ChekovsGun: As the house is falling apart, Nancy runs off to get her camera to show the footage on the news. That footage ends up winning the gang's court case since it proves they didn't tear down the house until its collapse started to threaten their own homes.

* BittersweetEnding: Although Ted's [=McMansion=] is destroyed, and Hank and his neighbors manage to avoid any legal trouble when Ted takes them to court, Ted still manages to get the last laugh when he spitefully replaces his [=McMansion=] with a power station instead, which is just as ugly to look at. Luckily, Hank and his friends manage to find a legal work around to this as well.

* LoopholeAbuse: Thanks to lawyer Edgar Hornsby finding a loophole where people can destroy an adjoining property if said property is structurally unsound and can collapse and damage their own property, the judge declares Hank and company not liable for destroying Ted's house. The residence is replaced with an eyesore of a power station, so the boys decide to hide it by building a house-shaped shell around it.

A cheaply-made [=McMansion=] is built on Rainey Street thanks to Ted Wassanasong, and, after Kahn finds out that Ted won't be moving in and the house's construction causes problems, the neighbors team up to tear it down during a violent storm, while Nancy videotapes the action. Ted takes neighbors to court for destruction of private property, but unfortunately Hank's technical speech about the inadequate building materials doesn't sway the judge or the jury. However, Edgar Hornsby, a lawyer hired to represent the neighbors, shows Nancy's video and references another case in which a town tore down a privately owned oil rig because it threatened the town's safety. The judge declares that although the neighbor's destroyed Ted's house, the fact that it threatened the private property and safety of of the neighbors made it appropriate for them to tear it down, so Hank and company are ruled to be not liable for any financial damages Ted suffered due to the destruction of the shoddily built [=McMansion=]. Ted gets the last laugh when he sells the land on the cheap to the city, which places an eyesore of a power station in the middle of the neighborhood, and Hank and the guys use Hornsby's legal know-how to hide it by building a house-shaped shell around it.
