Recap / Henry Danger S 3 E 18 Balloons Of Doom

Go To

When Dr. Minyak and Nurse Cohort take Piper hostage, Captain Man and Kid Danger must stop him.

Tropes:

  • Batman Gambit: Dr. Minyak manages to pull one. If Captain Man and Kid Danger leave the Man Cave he will let Piper float.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Henry is horrified when he sees Dr. Minyak is holding Piper hostage at his house; however, he had to pretend he doesn't know her so she doesn't recognize him as Kid Danger.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Jasper, and two Man Fans manage to help in defeating Dr. Minyak.
  • Big "NO!": By Dr. Minyak when Captain Man and Kid Danger use his own Heliometer on him.
  • Bound and Gagged: Piper is strapped to a chair with balloons when being threatened by Dr. Minyak; however, she isn't gagged.
  • Call-Back: Dr. Minyak's Heliometer returns.
  • Damsel in Distress: Piper becomes one when Dr. Minyak holds her hostage and threatens to send her to the moon.
  • Last-Second Word Swap: Kid Danger almost says Piper's name when he sees her kidnapped by Dr. Minyak (due to Henry's Big Brother Instinct), but to avoid making her suspicious over how Kid Danger knows her name which could risk blowing his identity, Captain Man helps him cover it as "pineapple", the value of Pi, as well as saying Jenny's Number.
  • Loophole Abuse: Captain Man and Kid Danger are unable to leave Dr. Minyak's view otherwise he'll make Piper fly away; Charlotte points out he only wants them to be in the Man Cave. To fool him, Schwoz attaches a backdrop of the Man Cave so Dr. Minyak will think they're still there, so they can get to Henry's house and save Piper.
  • Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Shared by Captain Man and Kid Danger before sending Dr. Minyak to the moon:
    Captain Man: Tell it to the bluebirds.
    Kid Danger: Over the rainbow.
  • Sadistic Choice: Captain Man and Kid Danger are forced by Dr. Minyak to stay in the view of the Man Cave monitors while Piper is held hostage and Minyak's minions are robbing all over Swellview. If they leave his view at any time (or call the cops either way), he will use his Heliometer to make Piper fly to her doom.
  • Shout-Out: After being caught, Dr. Minyak threatens to send Piper "somewhere over the rainbow where bluebirds die."
  • We Will Meet Again: A variant.
    Minyak: Despite this comeuppance, I'll be back! Eventually!....
