History Recap / KingOfTheHillS7E12VisionQuest

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Dale, of course. He tells John Redcorn he had a [[PsychicDreamsForEveryone vision]] of a Native American about John Redcorn's height making love to Nancy, followed by Nancy giving birth to Joseph, wearing the same headdress as Nancy's lover. Dale's conclusion is that he was an Indian all along and didn't know it.
-->'''John Redcorn:''' Okay... that's one interpretation.

* BulletCatch: Joseph accidentally lets go of the arrow, but before it could impale the panda, John Redcorn catches it with ease.

** Joseph has his while sleeping, portraying him running with a herd of buffalo, only to be trampled when he can't keep pace, before coming face-to-face with [[MisplacedWildlife a panda]]. Dale tells Joseph that the dream means he should "go with the herd," sticking with his new, delinquent friend group, even against his better judgment, and to go above and beyond their antics by [[KickTheDog killing and butchering the panda]] they were about to graffiti as a prank. John Redcorn explains to Joseph that the vision was warning him that trying to live a lifestyle not meant for him, for running with the wrong herd, would trample and ruin him.

* HardTruthAesop: Even if a parent is [[GoodParents genuinely loving, caring,]] and desire's what they think is best for their child. They can still be a bad influence. Which is perfectly shown with Dale's insistence with Joseph hanging out with the troublesome ''cool'' kids.

* PsychicDreamsForEveryone: The vision quest gives Dale a vision of the fact that John Redcorn was Nancy's lover and Joseph's father, though since it's Dale, he [[completely misses the point]] of the dream.

* HypocriteHasAPoint: For all his hypocrisies, John Redcorn isn't wrong to take issue with the way Dale goes about raising Joseph.

Dale takes Joseph on a vision quest, but it's Dale who begins seeing things and believing that he is a Native American.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: When Joseph starts to hang out with the "cool" j=kids, he actively starts ignoring Bobby because he's not willing to do stuff the other kids do.

* SeriousBusiness: John Redcorn wants Joseph to go on a Vision Quest as it is a scared ritual for his tribe, and describes the process as going into the wilderness without food and water, and when the inductee collapses from hunger and exhaustion, they'll have a vision that will guide them through their life. After Hank writes down the gist of it, he leaves to make the preparations, which is when John Redcorn warns: "Hank, remember this is a very important ritual for my people. ''Don't'' half ass it."
