Go To

Sparks fly when Jackie and Fez team up for a roller disco contest. Red is sued by a former employee.


Tropes:

  • Above the Influence: Fez rejects a drunken Jackie's advances after the contest. Bonus points for creative use of the Good Angel, Bad Angel trope (Batman vs. Riddler variant)
  • Not Helping Your Case: The B-plot features Red being sued by Earl for wrongful dismissal after Red fired him from Price Mart. Red and Earl both do this at the labor board's hearing about Earl's complaint.
    • First, Red can barely restrain his Tranquil Fury when he thinks the labor board mediator is calling him a liar. Later, when the mediator asks Eric what he thinks of Red's leadership style, he stammers nervously until Red yells at him to "just answer the question, dumbass!"
    • The mediator still rules in Red's favor, since Earl is over seventy minutes late for his own hearing. The mediator even Lampshades this trope to Earl, having realized that Red was justified in firing him.
