"Singled Out"

Feeling like a third wheel when her teammates find significant others, Lynn seeks a boyfriend just to fit in.

"Singled Out"

  • Best Her to Bed Her: Family-friendly version. Lynn initially wants her boyfriend to be a boy who can beat her athletically. When that doesn't work, she settles for the boy who shares her hot sauce tolerance level.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Lynn didn't get a new boyfriend and Dexter turns out to not be interested in a relationship. But Lynn and Dexter are still on good terms.
  • A Day in the Limelight: For Lynn and to a lesser extent, her teammates.
  • The Glomp: Every time when Maddie and her date, Kaito, win arcade games, they each give each other this in a "victory hug." Lynn suggests that they didn't have to do that every time they win together.
  • Just Friends: Lynn and Dexter decide to stop seeing each other, but remain on relatively friendly terms afterward.
  • Lesbian Jock: One of Lynn's teammates' dates is another girl.
  • Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Downplayed. At Gus' Games and Grub, Margo tries to win a crane game prize for her boyfriend.
    • The rough and abrasive, jock Lynn and the nerdy and clumsy, Nice Guy Dexter. Apparently, Lynn is this with literally every other boy in her school, too, since none of them were capable of keeping up with her strength, athleticism or exotic eating habits.
  • Nerds Are Virgins: As he confesses in the end, Dexter agreed to date Lynn because he was tired of people making fun of him for not having a girlfriend.
  • Sickeningly Sweethearts: Lynn's opinion of her roller derby teammates and their dates in this episode.
  • Tomboy and Girly Girl: In this episode, Lynn plays the tomboy to her more girly teammates, who love mushy romance stuff.
  • Unaffected by Spice: Lynn is the only customer at Burpin' Burger who can handle the "Fire-in-the-Belly Burger" (which is so spicy, it glows). She offers several of these burgers to a set of prospective boyfriends; most of them end up in total agony from the spiciness, but Dexter is completely unaffected, just like Lynn.
  • What Happened to the Mouse?: Francisco, Lynn's love interest from "L is for Love", isn't seen or mentioned here. However, she does say she once thought she was in love, but she was really just "dehydrated", which is implied to be alluding to him.

"Brave the Last Dance"

Clyde recruits Lincoln and the gang to find out if a girl he has a crush on at school feels the same way.

"Brave the Last Dance"

  • Bait-and-Switch: The promos for this episode shown Clyde having a crush on Emma, and most of the episode shows him in his efforts to ask her out. After he gets rejected, he appears at the dance anyway and ends up dancing with another girl named Chloe instead.
  • Bittersweet Ending: Clyde gets rejected by Emma, but they're still on good terms. In the meantime, Clyde ends up dancing with another girl named Chloe.
  • A Day in the Limelight: For Clyde.
  • Exact Words: Stella's tea leaf fortune predicted that Clyde would be happily dancing with a girl with brown hair in the future. However, the fortune didn't say the girl would be Emma; Emma gently turns Clyde down, but Clyde ends up dancing with Chloe (who also has brown hair, albeit a darker shade) instead.
  • Just Friends: Clyde asks Emma out on a date, but while she is flattered, she lets him down gently, preferring they just remain friends. The two are still on civil and polite terms afterwards. Emma even has a sign of guilt on her face before she smiles and waves at him before he dances with Chloe.
  • Prophecy Twist: It turns out Stella has learned how to read tea leaves from her grandmother, and she uses tea leaf reading to tell a fortune to Clyde. The tea leaf fortune predicts that in the near future, Clyde will be happily dancing with a girl with brown hair. Except Emma gently turns Clyde down, so at first it looks like the fortune was off-base—but when Clyde shows up at the dance to fix the cake, he asks Chloe (who also has brown hair) to dance, and she accepts. So the fortune came true after all, but it was referring to a different girl than Clyde assumed.
  • Shout-Out: One of Liam's chickens is named Yolk-lo Ono.
  • Valentine's Day Episode: This episode is at least implicitly set on Valentine's Day.
