Go To

Written & storyboarded by Leiana Nitura & Ashley Tahilan

After discovering the Sewer Queen's secret as a swim team member, Craig must pretend to be a member as well while joining her family for dinner.


Tropes:

  • Affectionate Nickname: Eileen's family call her Ei-Ei (pronounced eye-eye).
  • Bad Liar: When the Sewer Queen asks Craig to act like he's on the swim team to her mom in order to cover up the fact that she avoids practice, he admits to being one. So, she tells him to instead think of it as pretending. However, this comes back to bite them when Craig's lies turn out to be impossible to believe (being the team coach despite being a child, being raised by fish people in Atlantis, a swim camp being run by the Loch Ness Monster). Eileen's mom seems to be aware of this but plays along anyway.
  • Bilingual Bonus: Eileen's grandmother speaks in Bisaya, a language that is native to the Philippines.
  • Brick Joke: Craig makes a silly facial expression while saying, "Excusez-Moi" when Sewer Queen wants him to join her for dinner to fool her mother. Later, when Frisboy tells Kelsey and J.P. that they wanted to prevent Craig from taking away their Queen, the two of them make the same facial expression while also repeating the same expression.
  • A Day in the Limelight: For the Sewer Queen, where her name is revealed to be Eileen and Craig meets her family, consisting of her mom, older sister, and grandmother, and joins them for a family dinner.
  • Given Name Reveal: Sewer Queen reveals that her name is Eileen while introducing Craig to her mom.
  • He's Not My Boyfriend: Eileen is embarrassed when her Lola asks if Craig is her boyfriend.
  • Mistaken for Romance: When Kelsey and J.P. see Craig arriving at the Sewer Queen's house for dinner, they think that the two are going to be married. Eileen's grandmother also asks Eileen if Craig is her boyfriend since she is inviting him for dinner.
  • Reality Has No Subtitles: Eileen's grandmother only speaks Bisaya. Craig can't understand what she says, but the other members of Eileen's family can. Some of the translations can be found below:
    Eileen's Grandma: (While watching TV) Ah, maayo ra na sila sa sunod nga salida. (They're gonna make up in the next movie anyway.)
