History Recap / TheAmazingWorldOfGumballS5E24TheEx

When Gumball learns that his nemesis has found a new nemesis, Gumball tries to sabotage Rob's new "enemy-ship."
----
!!Tropes:
* ApologyGift: Gumball eventually apologized to Penny for spending through the episode getting Rob to hate him and ignoring her by getting a card for it. He couldn't find any cards that specific, so he wrote "I'm Sorry Penny" on a bunch of things in her locker and put a balloon in there. The balloon being ''[[StuffedIntoALocker Alan]]''.
-->'''Gumball''': Yeah, I couldn't find any balloons either.
* ContinuityCavalcade: Rob's major appearance as a villain are recounted, with Gumball bragging about the "The Nemesis" and "The Bus" to Penny, and then by Rob describing "The Disaster/The Rerun" (which Gumball doesn't remember).
* EnmityWithAnObject: Darwin believes a baseball cap sitting in his room is his personal nemesis. When Gumball notices he's been wearing it and thought he got over it, Darwin notices it and he flees in panic about his nemesis being on his head.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: Gumball tries to win back Rob as his arch-enemy while Penny, despite being his girlfriend, is left feeling like the third wheel who helps Gumball out.
* GladIThoughtOfIt: Gumball ignores Penny giving him advice to try and befriend Rob to conclude it's better for him to try and be friends with Rob.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: Gumball laments about feeling neglected and underappreciated by Rob who moved on to Banana Joe as his arch-enemy... to Penny and Darwin who were with him the whole time.
* {{Irony}}: Penny's advice to Gumball was to be friends with Rob instead of being enemies so they can be close again. This actually lead to Gumball messing up his plan to hurt Banana Joe by accident and Rob hating Gumball again. But that's all Gumball wanted anyway.
* OffscreenRealityWarp: Penny grabs Gumball by the shoulders, insisting he not go out to see Rob. The camera cuts repeatedly between close-ups of Gumball begging and Penny saying 'no', and [[RuleOfThree on the third cut]] Gumball has put Darwin in his place--and in most of his clothing.
-->'''Darwin:''' [[HowIsThatEvenPossible How did he do that?]]
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Gumball inexplicably goes from only occasionally being able to remember Rob's name in all prior episodes (not counting "The Rerun", which was erased from history by TimeTravel) to being completely obsessed with him, talking about him constantly, and even ignoring Penny and Darwin for most of the episode because of his focus on getting Rob to hate him again.
* PerplexingPlurals:
-->'''Penny:''' What is with you two?\\
'''Gumball:''' We're nemesises... Nemesisses? Nemesi?\\
'''Penny:''' Nemeses.
* RoguesGallery: Penny points out that even though Rob wouldn't be Gumball's enemy anymore, there's plenty of people on the list that would hate him. Irate neighbors (likely the Robinsons), outraged friends (likely Tobias), humiliated teachers (likely Miss Simian), and such.
* RonTheDeathEater: In-Universe Gumball considers "that creepy ginger dude" the nemesis of that wizard boy because he followed him around and [[TheLoad never helped]].
* SequelEpisode: To "The Disaster[=/=]The Rerun"; since [[SaveTheVillain Gumball saved his life]], Rob doesn't hate Gumball anymore and decides to become someone else's nemesis.
* SerenadeYourLover: Or "hater" in this context. Gumball desperately tries to get back Rob into hating him by playing a song he hates from the boombox like in ''Film/SayAnything''. Rob responded that he doesn't hate it anymore like he doesn't hate Gumball as he walks away.
* ShoutOut: After being served by Banana Joe a subpoena over violating his intellectual property Gumball exclaims [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "Ay caramba"]]
* WhyCantIHateYou: Despite promising Gumball to be a better enemy to him in "The Rerun", Rob just didn't hate Gumball anymore and moved on to Banana Joe. Eventually his hatred toward Gumball is rekindled at the end when he was stopped from hurting Banana Joe once again.

* PerplexingPlurals:

* OutOfCharacterAlert: PlayedForLaughs with Gumball spending the episode very focused on his fleeting enmity with Rob, the usual type of attention he gives to Penny as well as Darwin much to their chargin. To be fair, it wouldn't be far off for Gumball to treat his enmity with Rob the same as his friendship with Darwin and his love with Penny.

* ApologyGift: Gumball eventually apologized to Penny for spending through the episode getting Rob to hate him and ignoring her by getting a card for it but couldn't find any so he put a balloon with "I'm Sorry Penny" written on it in her locker. The balloon being ''Alan''.

* [[SerenadeYourLover Serenade Your Hater]]: Gumball desperately tries to get back Rob into hating him by playing a song he hates from the boombox like in Film/SayAnything. Rob responded that he doesn't hate it anymore like he doesn't hate Gumball as he walks away.
* WhyCantIHateYou: Despite promising Gumball to be a better enemy to him in "The Rerun", it's implied he had been going through this and why he moved on to Banana Joe. Eventually his hatred toward Gumball has been rekindled at the end when he was stopped from hurting Banana Joe once again.

* EnmityWithAnObject: Darwin believes a baseball cap sitting in his room is his personal nemesis.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Gumball has a firm grasp of the JerkassBall in this episode. While previous episodes have show him as being madly in love with Penny and unable to even remember Rob's name (excluding "The Rerun" which was erased from history via time travel anyway), here he spends the whole episode completely ignoring Penny because he can't take Rob not hating him.

* SequelEpisode: To "The Disaster[=/=]The Rerun"; since [[SaveTheVillain Gumball saved his life]], Rob doesn't hate Gumball anymore and decides to become someone else's nemesis.

* EnmityWithAnObject: Darwin's believes his a baseball cap sitting in his room in his personal nemesis.

* SequelEpisode: To "The Disaster/The Rerun"; since [[SaveTheVillain Gumball saved his life]], Rob doesn't hate Gumball anymore and decides to become someone else's nemesis.

* ContinuityNod:
** Rob's reasons in not pursuing his hate for Gumball anymore was because of what happened in "The Disaster" and "The Rerun".
* FoeRomanceSubtext: The ''whole'' episode is this with Gumball trying to win back Rob as his arch-enemy while Penny despite being his girlfriend, is in her role as the third wheel in the episode who helps Gumball out.

* OutOfCharacterMoment: Gumball has a firm grasp of the JerkassBall in this episode. While previous episodes have show him as being madly in love with Penny and unable to even remember Rob's name (excluding "The Rerun" which was erased from history via time travel anyway), here he spends the whole episode completely ignoring Penny because he can't take Rob not hating him.
