'''"Fast Food"''': Leo makes friends with a boy, Tyrone, who's into cooking, and they compete in a cart race.
----
!!"Fast Food" contains the following tropes:
* TheBigRace: This episode revolves around a cart race. Tyrone is convinced that he isn't good enough to race, but Leo encourages him to enter the race and prove that underdogs never lose.
* TheBully: Ace is an arrogant racer who repeatedly harasses Tyrone for being "weak" and "slow."
-->'''Ace (after stealing Tyrone's lunch):''' Typical Tyrone! Too small, too weak, and too slow.
* CoolCar: Initially, Tyrone enters his grandpa's cart in the race, a slick, blue retro-style cart.
* CoveredInGunge: Ace intentionally spills ackee rice onto the track to trip up the Underdogs, but the rice actually allows them to pick up speed and win, while Ace ends up covered in rice.
* DownToTheLastPlay: The race leads to a photo finish in which the Underdogs win by a chicken drumstick.
* EvilLaugh: Ace has a distinct cruel laugh that happens whenever Tyrone suffers a misfortune. The closed captions for this episode even call it "mean laughter."
* FollowYourNose: Andy, Carmen, and Leo smell something delicious, and fly along with the smell. They find out that the smell is from Tyrone's food cart.
* GrowlingGut: In the beginning of the episode, Leo forages his fridge for food. Carmen, hungry, complains that her stomach is rumbling.
* InstantlyProvenWrong: Leo tells Tyrone that it's amazing that he can listen to people laughing at him and not give up. What does Tyrone say next? "I give up."
* ItBelongsInAMuseum: Ace disses Tyrone's grandpa's cart, saying that it should be a museum piece due to its' age.
* MobileKiosk: Tyrone has a cart for cooking and selling food.
* MockingSingSong: When Tyrone's grandpa's cart sinks into the ocean, Ace taunts him by singing "You're out of the race!"
* OffscreenCrash: During the episode's song, one of the team's test carts crashes off-screen, and we see Leo wincing at it.
* OhCrap:
** When Tyrone tells the team what they're supposed to do during the cart race, Leo has this reaction upon realizing that he actually has to get ''inside'' the cart. However, he decides to be the coach so he can be on the sidelines. However, Leo ultimately decides to race alongside the others.
** Leo has another moment of this when he leans on the cart, causing it to run away and sink into the ocean.
* RhymingWithItself: "Obstacles get in our way / But we'll innovate, and find a way."
* TurnTheOtherCheek: After the Underdogs win the race, Ace tells Tyrone "Go ahead, make fun of me." But Tyrone decides not to make fun of him, knowing first-hand how bad that feels, leading to Ace apologizing.
* UnderdogsNeverLose: Ace and his cronies bully Tyrone for being "weak" and laugh off the idea of him winning the pushcart race. Through hard work and persistence, Tyrone ends up winning the race. In fact, Tyrone's team calls themselves the Underdogs. And then they sing about it.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: Ace is a big shot in the race cart scene and has hundreds of fans.

'''"Longbeak the Pirate"''': The kids help Señor Fabuloso find his 'authentic' pirate eyepatch.
----
!!"Longbeak the Pirate" contains the following tropes:
* AnAesop: The moral of the story is that 'you can still have fun with fantasies while knowing that fiction isn't the same as reality.' Ronica encourages the kids to continue play-acting pirate tropes, even though most of them never happened in real life.
* DressedToPlunder: Señor Fabuloso's pirate outfit consists of a tricorner hat with a feather plume, his pirate jacket with lots of shiny buckles, and an eyepatch...which happens to be missing.
* {{Pirate}}: This episode discusses typical pirate tropes and how they never actually happened. It also mentions that some pirate tropes ''were'' TruthInTelevision, such as PirateParrot, SeadogPegLeg, and EyepatchOfPower.
* PirateEpisode: The episode features the gang learning about pirates in Port Royal, Jamaica. They also learn how to separate fiction from reality.
* SunkenCity: The kids visit a sunken pirate city, Port Royal.
* TalkLikeAPirate: Discussed. The episode's OneShotCharacter, Ronica, teaches the kids that there are no records of pirates saying stuff like 'yo ho ho.'
* WalkThePlank: At the beginning of the episode, the kids are playing pirates and make Leo walk the plank. This moment causes Leo to question if pirates really did walk the plank, kickstarting the episode's plot.
* WimpFight: During the episode's song, two pirates 'fight' by swatting each other with their eyes closed.
