Pizza Deliverance
A pizza delivery girl is asked to make a delivery to the Greens' country house, but after seeing a horror movie, she begins hallucinating the Greens as slashers out to eat her.
"Pizza Deliverance" contains examples of:
- Berserk Button: Don't ever suggest gas station food when the Greens are around, they will start grumbling angrily, well, except for Nancy.
- Cell Phones Are Useless: The reason Tina gets lost on her way to the Green's house is because her GPS tracker had no reception.
- Color Wash: Tina's hallucinations of the Greens as monsters are tinted with a Sickly Green Glow to represent how fearful the situation is.
- Continuity Nod: The pizza is being delivered from Mama-Roni's, the brand Cricket idolized in "Little Buddy".
- A Day in the Limelight: For Tina the pizza delivery girl.
- Drool Deluge: Cricket is so hungry he drools all over the floor. Tina slips on the drool and the pizza falls on her, causing the hungry Greens to descend on her for real.
- Exorcist Head: Cricket tries to move his head all the way around, but only goes so far before he hurts himself.
- Hillbilly Horrors: Tina was watching a horror movie about hillbilly cannibals, The Country Cannibal Catastrophe, when she is sent to deliver the Green's pizza. When she sees the Greens in the darkness, she assumes they're cannibals like the ones in the movie.
- Hockey Mask and Chainsaw: Tina is scared by Nancy, who was chopping up a fallen tree with a chainsaw and wearing a mask for protection.
- Inner Thoughts, Outsider Puzzlement: From Tina's view she sees the Greens as marauding monsters; from our perspective they are mildly confused at her running away without even giving them their pizza.
- Jump Scare: The cannibal baby from the movie suddenly lunges at the camera at the end.
- Lost in the Maize: Tina crashes her car in the Green's cornfield, then tries to get away from them when she thinks they're cannibals.
- Out of Focus: The Greens don't get as much focus as Tina.
- Shout-Out:
- The title is a reference to Deliverance.
- Tilly's "Oak-log-homa" wicker people are a nod to The Blair Witch Project.
- Tina escaping from the Greens in the back of a pick-up truck while laughing like a maniac is how Sally escaped Leatherface at the end of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
- Skewed Priorities: After Tina crashed into a corn field, Cricket was more concerned about the pizza, the others weren't happy to hear those words.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Nancy when the pizza falls on Tina and the other Greens are too hungry to think straight.Nancy: Oh, this can't be good.
- Through the Eyes of Madness: After seeing the horror movie and upon first seeing the Greens, everything in Tina's eyes becomes an actual horror flick with green tinting, movie filters, and the Greens appearing as ravaging man-eating zombies. In reality, the Greens are just normal and friendly people waiting for their pizza, and her fear made them look more scarier than how they really look like.
- Voice of the Legion: The Greens and Remy's voices take on reverberating undertones during Tina's hallucinations.
Horse Girl
Tilly must keep her hatred of horses a secret after Bill rents one for the farm and considers keeping her. Meanwhile, Cricket tries in vain to find a single wi-fi signal somewhere in the country.
"Horse Girl" contains examples of:
- Brick Joke: At the beginning, Gramma is trying to load a video of a pie being squashed when Cricket can't use the wifi at home. After he finds a connection and has his conversation with Gabriella, Cricket then decides to watch the pie video.
- Call-Back: Upon first encountering Butterscotch, Tilly brings up the fact she fought a horse before as part of her rite of passage.
- Comically Missing the Point: Cricket goes to Patti's Diner hoping it has wifi, but Patti doesn't because she prefers that customers engage with each other instead of burying themselves on their phones. She shows Cricket a sign that reads "No Wi-fi; Yes, Try Pie." Cricket somehow interprets this as sticking his tablet in a pie to get better reception.
- Even the Loving Hero Has Hated Ones: Tilly, a Friend to All Living Things, has an irrational dislike of horses.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: A familial example. While Tilly once again admits to her father that she just doesn’t like horses or Butterscotch as much as he does, she also acknowledges that it’s okay that she and her father don’t like the same things and is willing to let him keep Butterscotch because she knows the horse and Bill genuinely make each other happy. Though she does throw in the condition that he builds her stable as far away from her room as possible.
- Jerkass to One: While Tilly is a self-proclaimed “friend to all critters”, she admits that horses like Butterscotch are the one member of the animal world she has never been able to “vibe with”.
- Long-Distance Relationship: Despite initial fan fears when the move was first announced, this episode reveals that Cricket and Gabriella are engaging in one of these rather than having broken up.
- Road Apples: Implied during the "Tilly, A Filly, and Me" song.Bill: Such a special creature, I can't peel my eyes from you...
Tilly: I've tried but it's not workin'. Did I just step in...? [The background turns brown] Ew! - Reflective Eyes: When Tilly tells Butterscotch they must pretend to be friends for Bill's sake, her face reflects into the horse's eyes.
- Right Behind Me: When Bill has decided to keep Butterscotch and Tilly ignites yet another argument, it culminates with her announcing she hates horses. Bill happened to be right behind her when she said that, and is shocked to hear such a thing.
- Rivals Team Up: Tilly was forced to put her hatred of horses on hold and team up with Butterscotch to save Bill from being pulled away in the river.
- "Shaggy Dog" Story: Parodied. After all Cricket goes through to find a wifi connection for her conference call with Gabriella, all they do is just say "Hi" to each other, then hang up. He still considers it a very romantic conversation.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Tilly is obviously a very nice girl usually, and Butterscotch at least seems nice on her own and genuinely cares about her friendship with Bill as he does, but the two of them can equally barely restrain themselves from coming to blows whenever Bill is out of eyesight.
- Slow-Loading Internet Image: The reason Cricket can't use his home wifi is because Remy and Gramma are hogging all the bandwidth. Remy is trying to have a video call with Vasquez, who appears frozen on his laptop screen; while Gramma can't watch a video of a pie being smashed, the video frozen just before the moment of impact.
- Springtime for Hitler: While with Butterscotch on a picnic, Tilly attempts to get Bill to change his mind about keeping Butterscotch by using horseshoes to ruin the picnic and put the blame on Butterscotch. However, Bill interprets the scenario as Butterscotch not wanting the day to end and announces his decision to permanently keep her, to Tilly's anger and shock.
- Stating the Simple Solution: Invoked by Tilly. Compared to the last two times a member of the Green family had to hide their distaste of something, she actually tries to tell Bill right at the start that she doesn’t like horses the way he does. The only reason she backtracks is because of how upset it makes Bill over having failed at bonding with his daughter over an assumed common interest.
- Toilet Humor: During this episode's song, Tilly accidentally steps in what is strongly implied to be Butterscotch's poop.
