Jake's son TV discovers a lost diary and sets out to solve a decades-old mystery.


  • Accidental Truth: Wondering why B.P.'s handwriting changes just before the torn pages, Jake speculates that maybe her hand turned into a crab claw. Later they read her letter to Justin, which mentions that her crab hand was cured.
  • A Day in the Limelight: TV is the focus of this episode.
  • Apathy Killed the Cat: TV is uninterested in finding out what became of Nurse Pound Cake's old crush Justin.
  • Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality: TV becomes so engrossed with B.P.'s diary that he starts hallucinating that he is her and that the events he's reading are happening right in front of him.
  • Continuity Nod: The newspaper Jake is reading at the start has a headline about "Massive Damages to Castle" and "Candy People at Fault", which seems to be a nod to "The Pajama War".
  • Conveniently Interrupted Document: The last pages of the diary are torn off before we find out what happened on B.P.'s date with Justin. TV and Jake then try to find out what happened to them.
  • Make-Out Point: Love Tree Point, so named because of the heart-shaped tree nearby, used to be a popular spot for young couples according to Jake.
  • The Reveal: Jake and his son TV set out to find the identity of the mysterious "BP". They discover her full name was "Betsy Pound Cake" and she eventually took up medicine, meaning she's minor character Nurse Pound Cake.
  • Secret Diary: TV finds an old diary discarded by a teenage girl known only as "B.P.".
