Thin Ice

The Reds and Blues infiltrate the base where their missing members are being held.


Tropes

  • The Bus Came Back: Sarge, Lopez, Donut and Wash.
  • Crazy Enough to Work: Tucker invokes this, asking for plans that are dumb, but not too dumb.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: When looking for a way to get into the Feds' ice fortress, Caboose suggests they melt through the the ice, which Tucker thinks is a good idea.
  • It's All About Me: Played for Laughs; after Caboose shoots the pipes and causes a sewer breech, an alarm goes off about it in Sector 3, with one fed soldier snarking it sucks to be maintenance. Then another alarm goes off about sewage breech detected in the barracks, and suddenly all the Feds become worried about their stuff, rushing off to save it.
  • Stealth Insult: Simmons makes one about Grif's weight, saying the worst thing that can happen would either be the four of them getting shot or Grif getting shot and the rest of them needing to carry him, saying "there's only three of us".
  • Suddenly Shouting: Caboose does this after Tucker tells him to "do his thing".
    Caboose: [raises his gun towards the pipes] Time to CLEAN THE PIPES!
  • Tempting Fate: When Simmons points out there is nothing between them and the detention facility and they'll be spotted as soon as they leave the tunnel, Tucker points out there doesn't seem to be anybody around. As soon as he says that an announcement sounds declaring lunch break over, and the whole area is swarmed with soldiers.
  • Wham Line: After finding the rest of the Reds and Blues, Donut says, "But, we were supposed to save you."
  • Wham Shot: Sarge, Lopez, Donut, and Wash very not being held prisoner.
