Written & storyboarded by Deena Beck & Angel Lorenzana

After Craig accidentally destroys a shipment of rare Chocorolls at the Trading Tree, Kit makes him work off his debt by running her trades throughout the Creek!


Tropes:

  • A Day in the Limelight: Kit's third, after "Under the Overpass" and "The Shortcut".
  • End-of-Episode Silliness: After Craig pays off his debt and finds out Kit wasn't as heartless as he assumed, it's shown Kit got the Choco Rolls he smashed by trading her father's car.
  • Fence Painting: Craig makes deely-boppers popular by getting Toman to wear one, and he gets him to by claiming that it's a crown for the thumb wrestling champion.
  • Hope Spot: The trade with the notoriously stingy Junk Lord is surprisingly easy. Unfortunately, now they have to deal with the junkyard's feral cat population.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Red makes fun of JP for wearing deely-boppers, saying "You look like a bee!" But when deely-boppers become popular, Red gladly puts them on and declares "I'm a bee!"
  • Mystery Box: When the trade with the Ninja Kids fails, Craig takes out a Two Piece box with a secret figure inside, which Kit put in Craig's satchel for emergencies. Yustice eventually chooses to ignore her grudge with the Elders for the box.
  • Never My Fault: Kit gets angry at Craig for running into the Red Velvet Choco-Rolls even though she stacked them there in the first place.
  • Oh, No... Not Again!: Based on her father's reaction, it can be assumed that Kit has traded her family's stuff before.
  • Pet the Dog: Kit finds practically the only treat Todd isn't allergic to, and doesn't even charge him for it. Todd even asks her if she wants to trade anything for it, but she declines. Also, after everything Craig and his friends went through, she gives them the credit for retrieving the snack.
  • Plagiarism in Fiction: Yustice has a grudge on Mark because he copied her Original Character.
  • Shout-Out:
  • Special Edition Title: The credits have still shots from the episode, with music that sounds vaguely like Seinfeld.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: After an encounter with cats at the Junk Pile and Kit's apology for not giving the trio tuna for them, Craig delivers a particularly scathing one of these toward Kit.
  • Theseus' Ship Paradox: Todd eats "granola" bars that have no nuts, dairy, gluten, or raisins. Considering the main ingredients of granola are nuts, oats, and dried fruit, one wonders what it does have.
