On JP's birthday, Craig takes his friends to the Baby Casino and tries to win enough chips to obtain a piece of the Cube.
Tropes:
- Birthday Episode: The episode begins on J.P.'s birthday.
- Brainy Baby: Big Baby can talk and is not easy to fool. There's also the babies competently staffing the casino.
- Call-Back: The Baby Casino was first mentioned in the episode "Memories of Bobby".
- The Caper: Craig has a plan to get the piece from Big Baby.
- The Casino: Babies run a secret casino at the Creek, where kids play games using potato chips.
- Hollywood Board Games: Craig's The Ace characterization encompasses even playing Tic-Tac-Toe, which he easily wins by taking over the corners. When faced with a 9x9 grid, he fakes struggling against his opponent, a The Don baby, to get him overconfident. A very smoothly played Batman Gambit.
- How We Got Here: The episode starts with Craig playing Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe with Big Baby, then flashes back to how he got into this situation. When it gets to the point where the episode started, Craig fast forwards to the point where the first scene stopped, even pointing out that it's where the episode began.
- Kansas City Shuffle: While Craig and Big Baby are playing, Omar, Kelsey and J.P. try to steal the cube piece, but are caught. That, however, turned out to be a diversion to make Big Baby lose his concentration, allowing Craig to redirect his next move and make him lose.
- Literal Metaphor: At the baby casino, they use actual, stackable potato chips for winnings.
- Mister Big: The Baby Casino is run by an oddly verbose baby named Big Baby, whose bodyguards are his teenaged babysitters.
- Shout-Out: Big Baby mutters "Not the mama" when Craig challenges him to a game of Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe.
- Spit Take: Big Baby is drinking from his "baba" when Craig offers his pieces of the Cube, causing Big Baby to spit out his milk. The show actually freeze-frames at this point.
