Eliza derides the Stump Trio's attire on the eve of the creek's back-to-school fashion show.


Tropes:

  • Bland-Name Product: Ducci bags
  • Celebrity Star: Bob the Drag Queen as the Ducci bag.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Craig knows full well that Eliza's reviews all are targeting the Stump Trio specifically, especially since the last fashion check had a picture of Craig (with his eyes censored), but Kelsey and J.P. can't see it.
  • Contrived Clumsiness: When Craig shows the Ducci bag to Eliza, she raises a cup of tea as a toast, and then "accidentally" spills it on the bag.
  • Companion Cube: Craig talks to the Ducci bag, which is seen by Bernard and Jessica as Craig talking to himself. Nicole also hears the bag.
  • Grounded Forever: When Craig comes clean and Nicole commiserates with him on why he took her Ducci bag, she asks the bag what Craig's punishment should be. It says that Craig should be grounded a day for every dollar it's worth, which is implied to be quite a lot since Nicole says she'll be paying it off for 15 years. Not that it stops him from appearing in the Creek fashion show.
  • Hand-or-Object Underwear: When the loan sharks come to collect from Craig, he begs them not to take the Ducci bag. They take all his clothes instead, forcing him to cover his privates with the bag.
  • Inner Thoughts, Outsider Puzzlement: As the Ducci bag talks to Craig, there's a shot of Bernard and Jessica looking at Craig doing both sides of the conversation.
  • Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Eliza is going against the Stump Trio in specific, and she even doesn't let Craig show off his (mother's) Ducci bag without intentionally spilling tea on it.
  • Toilet Humor: Ducci is pronounced "dookie", leading to a lot of double entendres.
  • What Were You Thinking?: When Craig taking his mom's Ducci bag ends up with him naked and it stained and dirty, the bag asks him this. When Craig points out it was the bag's idea, the bag points out he shouldn't be following the advice of a bag in the first place.
