Recap / Recess S 1 E 26 Swing On Thru To The Other Side

Go To

After it appears that The Swinger Girl has finally done it and swung over the top of the swingset and vanished, Spinelli starts a cult following based around her.


Tropes:

  • 360-Degree Swing Set Swing: Spinelli believes she actually saw Swinger Girl achieve this, and promptly creates a cult based on her and attempts to do the swing herself. However, by the end of the episode, it's revealed Swinger Girl never made the swing; she leaped off at the last moment when her mother called her.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Subverted. This is the only episode in which Swinger Girl plays a prominent role, but she's not actively a part of the story.
  • Buffy Speak:
    Spinelli: Maybe [Swinger Girl] disappeared into one of those other dimension thingies.
  • Cult: Parodied. After witnessing what appeared to be Swinger Girl going over the top of the swingset and vanishing, Spinelli starts a following based around "The Teachings of Swinger Girl".
  • Easy Evangelism: Practically the whole playground minus TJ, Vince, and Gretchen buys into Spinelli's words about Swinger Girl rather quickly. Even King Bob buys into it.
  • Negated Moment of Awesome: In-universe. At the beginning of the episode, it looked like Swinger Girl was about to go over the top of the swingset but she falls straight down much to the kids' disappointment.
  • Titled After the Song: The episode title is a reference to the song by The Doors "Break on Through to the Other Side".
