1	When Max learns that Dolph receives a shipment of candy from his uncle, he conspires to win over his fellow camper and use the sweets to his advantage.
2
3	!!Tropes
4
5	* CharacterDevelopment: Dolph, who has no friends, gets thoroughly used by Max, and comes to realize that it isn't what he wants in a friend. All without a single Nazi joke.
6	* ContinuityNod:
7	** Harkening back to the beginning of the season, David mentions that the camp's budget is running tight.
8	** Scotty from all the way back to season one gets mentioned, and was somehow injured by Nikki when she got hold of candy.
9	* ADayInTheLimelight: This episode focuses on Dolph.
10	* FalseFriend: Max becomes one to Dolph.
11	* {{Foreshadowing}}: The poor quality of the camp's food, as well as the graphs in the counselors' room, are an indication that Camp Campbell's finances still aren't doing well, which will be quite pertinent at the end of the season.
12	* GRatedDrug: Nikki's obsession with candy plays out like an alcoholic. When the candy supply is gone, she goes through withdrawal symptoms.
13	* LiteralMetaphor: When Nurf says he doesn't want to put his foot in his mouth, he means it literally, in that his lunch is a shoe.
14	* NoodleIncident:
15	** Nikki has a bad, bad relationship with sugar. Something truly appalling happened to Scotty the last time she let her habit get out of control.
16	** Something caused David to have a huge beef with The Cheesecake Factory.
17	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Dolph warns Max that he's on track to become Cameron Campbell if he keeps using and discarding people without thought for the consequences.
18	* PaperThinDisguise: Nikki wears a top hat, monocle, and mustache in an attempt to get Max to give her more candy. Max sees right through it.
19	* TakingTheHeat: One of Max's "friendship lessons" for Dolph is that he should do this for Max if their scheme got found out. In the end, however, ''Max'' ends up willingly doing this for ''Dolph'' as a somewhat awkward but sincere attempt to make amends.
20	* TheThingThatWouldNotLeave: Dolph moves into Max's tent and quickly becomes this to his new friend.
21	* ToxicFriendInfluence: Dolph may be annoying, but Max is a transparently shitty excuse for a friend to him.
22	* VitriolicBestBuds: Max tries to pass off his nastiness toward Dolph as harmless ragging. Dolph, who doesn't know any better, believes him.
23	* WhatTheHellHero: Neil calls Max out for using Dolph's loneliness to get candy.
24	-->'''Neil:''' Jeez, Max, how do you sleep at night?\
25	'''Max:''' [[RhetoricalQuestionBlunder Under the gaze of a creepy German kid, thanks.]]
