Recap / Dinosaurs S 03 E 07 Hungry For Love

Go To

Robbie falls for Mr. Richfield's daughter, who may be behind the mysterious disappearances of her previous boyfriends.

Tropes:

  • Analogy Backfire: When Robbie considers breaking up with Wendy over the rumors that she might eat him, Fran tells Robbie not to listen to those rumors. She then tells Robbie that when she was dating Earl, her friends told her that Earl was lazy, had no ambition, and would remain a tree pusher all his life. She then asks Robbie if her friends were right, to which Robbie is reluctant to answer. Fran then realizes that it was a bad example and that she should have listened to her friends.
  • Helicopter Parents: Mr. Richfield is so overprotective of his daughter that he has a special tracker on her so that he knows where she is. He also seems to detest the idea of his little girl dating that he is more than happy to eat her boyfriends so that she is spared the potential heartbreak she may face.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: How Mr. Richfield got rid of Wendy’s previous boyfriends, and Robbie himself almost ends up on the menu.
  • Like Parent, Unlike Child: Mr. Richfield's daughter isn't the evil character he is.
  • Right for the Wrong Reasons: Charlene and Spike think Robbie's life is in danger because of the rumor that Mr. Richfield's daughter ate her previous boyfriends. It turns out they were eaten by Mr. Richfield himself.
  • Same Surname Means Related: Once Robbie's new girlfriend introduces herself as "Wendy Richfield", the Sinclairs (minus Earl) suspect she and Mr. Richfield are related. Earl requires more proof than the same surname and her saying her father works at WESAYSO because he deems her too kind to be his relative.
  • Skewed Priorities: Warn Robbie that his life is in danger is third place in his sister's list of priorities.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Upon learning that Robbie wants to break up with Wendy because of the rumor, Earl orders Robbie to apologize to Richfield, unaware that it is actually Richfield who has been eating her boyfriends and is ready to eat Robbie.
