PJ wants money to buy a car, but Bob refuses to help. Gabe has the money but he makes PJ sign a loan contract. Teddy pays a surprise visit to Spencer's workplace and sees his arm around another girl. Is it what it seems?

Original airdate, November 14, 2010.


Tropes:

  • Armor-Piercing Question: Teddy delivers a heartwrenching one to Spencer: "How could you?!".
  • Betty and Veronica: Teddy (the Betty) and Skylar (the Veronica) over their cheating boyfriend Spencer (the Archie).
  • Food Slap: Spencer gets this from both Skylar and Teddy. Skylar pours fruit smoothie all over his head and Teddy shoves a pie into his face as payback for cheating on them.
  • Love Triangle: Teddy/Spencer/Skylar.
  • My Greatest Failure: Spencer for cheating on Teddy.
  • Mistaken for Cheating: Subverted. Teddy thinks Spencer is cheating on her with Skyler, but then learns from Spencer that she's his cousin. He turns out to be lying. He is cheating on her with Skyler, who believes that Teddy is his cousin.
  • Oh, Crap!: When Spencer walks in and he sees that his two girlfriends Teddy and Skylar have already met each other.
  • Pie in the Face: Spencer, courtesy of Teddy for cheating on her. "Don't forget dessert!".
  • Properly Paranoid: At first, Teddy worries that Spencer might be cheating on her. Turns out she was right.
  • Relative Error: Inverted by Spencer. Teddy believes Spencer is cheating on her when she sees him with his arm around another girl but she turns out to be his cousin. Later it's revealed she wasn't actually his cousin, he was cheating on Teddy and Spencer invoked this trope as an excuse to secretly two-time both girls.
  • Shout-Out: In this episode, Charlie bites Spencer's finger, likely a reference to the viral video "Charlie Bit my finger.
  • Wham Line: When Teddy and Skylar finally meet, this happens:
    Teddy: ... I didn't know you were hisnote  cousin!
    Skyler: I thought you two were cousins.
    Teddy: No, Spencer’s my boyfriend.
    Skyler: NO, Spencer’s MY boyfriend.
