Recap / Aqua Teen Hunger Force S 2 E 22 The

Go To

After another idiotic plan of Shake's, Frylock has had enough and leaves.


  • Bait-and-Switch: The episode points towards Frylock moving back, making frequent visits to the house and having no friends or people willing to even socialize with him at his new condo, but Shake’s boorish behavior drives him away permanently at the end (until the next episode, anyways).
  • Downer Ending: The Aqua Teen house becomes a toxic mess on fire, Carl is unintentionally abandoned by an ambulance, and Shake and Meatwad are still infected thanks to Shake's inability to care or admit his fault. He calls Frylock and asks him to come back, only to be met with "Hell no!" before Frylock hands up.
  • Enraged by Idiocy: Perhaps one of the Frylock's most well known examples. Shake left raw meat out in some attempt to emulate David Lynch, only to attract flies and rats, prompting him to use land mines to get rid of them that resulted in a part of the house being destroyed, and filling Frylock's room with garbage. After that, Frylock bails.
  • Eye Scream: Fumes from the raw chicken and styrofoam Shake is burning for heat give him, Meatwad, and Carl utterly horrifying eye infections that completely cover their eyeballs. By the end of the episode Carl and Meatwad are completely blinded.
  • Fantastic Racism: Frylock tries to have a condo warming party, only for one of the people he invited coming to tell Frylock, in a polite manner, to stay away from him and his family as they're doing "human things" and don't want to be seen with him.
  • Hope Spot: Frylock returns to the house with food and vitamin C for Shake and Meatwad. It seems like he's going to make amends with Shake, only for Shake to make demands that Frylock bring the fried burritos (which are actually spring rolls) if he wants visitation hours. Frylock refuses and leaves, all while Shake makes more demands that clearly benefit him more than Frylock.
  • I Lied: Frylock lies to Carl that all of the Aqua Teens are moving to get his help to carry his stuff. When Carl finds out, he's not happy about it.
  • No Sympathy: While Frylock has every right to be angry with Shake, he doesn't seem particularly upset Carl and Meatwad are suffering from Shake's idiocy, at least not enough to actually get the two away.
  • Psychopathic Manchild: With Frylock gone, Shake has to step up. He utterly refuses to and within days he and Meatwad are starving, the house is burning down, and the entire neighborhood has eye infections from toxic fumes. He refuses to even admit that anything’s wrong and he drives Frylock away by demanding he pay him if he wants to visit.
