Recap / Clone High S 3 E 07 Grave Mistakes The Virgin Homicides

Go To

Abe's newfound relationship with Mary is coming to a head as the two of them prepare to engage in sexual intercourse at the cemetery. However, after doing some digging around, the girls come to the realization that Mary may not be everything that she seems to be. Meanwhile, Candide orders Scudworth and Mr. B to make her a new batch of clones, but the two of them realize that they may not be the experts for the job that they used to be.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: The front page of the Clone High Tattler with the headline about Abe's retained virginity features the paper's slogan, "Clone High's Second Most Popular Free School Paper", a table of contents which includes "Clone News" on page 2, "SE 03 EP 07" where the date would go, and a weather forecast: "Simply drawn clouds, in the 70's".
  • Foreshadowing: Principal Scudworth attempted to make Don Ho into a third generation clone but ended up cloning a member of The Donner Party by mistake, indicating their major role in Season 4.
  • Improv Comedy Is Inane: One of Joan's prying questions to ensure that Abe really loves Mary is, "Would you sit with her parents at her beginners' improv show?"
  • LOL, 69: To seal away Bloody Mary, her name has to be said to her 6,969 times.
  • Nerds Are Virgins: A great many of the virgins that Mary deflowered and killed are classical nerds.
  • Of Course I'm Not a Virgin: The male characters' shower talk reveals Abe is the only virgin in Clone High. Not even Topher Bus, Ivan the Terrible and Genghis Khan are in the same boat as him.
  • Partially-Concealed-Label Gag: Scudworth and Mr. Butlertron thought they got some bones from the Hawaiian musician Don Ho, but that skeleton is from a member of "The Donner Party — Those pioneers that ate each other".
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: One of the historical figures Joan asked which Mary from history Joan is, with Joan being correct that's Mary is Mary Tudor, but it's not because she's a clone of Mary Tudor but in fact ''is" Mary Tudor as Bloody Mary.
  • Shout-Out: One of the skeletons in Bloody Mary's undead army of ex-virgins has the hairstyle, build, shirt and shoes of Comic Book Guy.
  • Wham Line: Scudworth gives one to the clone girls when they try to ask him which historical Mary he cloned Mary from:
    Scudworth: "Oh, you silly clones! I've never cloned a Mary! My sister's name is Mary, and she is human garbage!"
  • Wham Shot:
    • After investigating Mary's house, the girls discover not only a whole bunch of mirrors, but a wall full of the photos that Joan, Harriet, and Frida took at their sleepover with… Bloody Mary.
    • Scudworth and Mr. Butlertron thought they got some bones from the Hawaiian musician Don Ho, but the wind gushes and reveals that the skeleton is from a member of "The Donner Party — Those pioneers that ate each other".

Stupid Friggin' Cord!

Abe tries to dump Joan as a friend and dramatically close the blinds, only to have trouble with the cords.
