Recap / The Cleveland Show S 1 E 8 From Bed To Worse

Go To

Cleveland wants Junior to go on the school field trip to Washington D.C., but he's afraid to leave home, so Cleveland pays Roberta to go with him. Back at home, Rallo battles with Cleveland, over who gets to sleep with Donna. Meanwhile, Tim and Arianna realize the spark is gone in their marriage, and they try to get it back.


Tropes:

  • Adults Are Useless: Field trip councilors, Tim and Arianna, were completely incompetent, the entire time, causing more harm than help to the kids. Tim even clawed a girl's face off. Worst of all, while Roberta was being sexually harassed, Tim and Arianna were nowhere to be found, because they were too busy doing it on the stairs of the Lincoln Memorial. This meant that Junior had to take matters into his own hands, and save her, himself.
  • Class Trip: The premise for the main plot of this episode.
  • Dumbass Has a Point: Raymond proved to have an extensive knowledge on American history.
  • Every Man Has His Price: Roberta agreed to accompany Junior on the field trip, after Cleveland bribed her.
  • Kudzu Plot: There's Junior and Roberta's story, which sort of splits into two for a while, there's Cleveland and Donna putting up with Rallo, and then there's Tim and Arianna, trying to get the spark in their marriage back.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: After constantly stealing Cleveland's sleeping time with Donna, Rallo breaks his leg and has to live the rest of his life with a pin in it.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Federline plays his culturally-misappropriated song in a club and as a result gets the absolute crap beaten out of him.
  • No Sparks: Tim and Arianna realize that the magic of their marriage is gone.
