Back in 3rd Grade, it's Brittnay's first day.


Tropes:

  • Call-Back:
  • Call-Forward:
    • We finally get to witness little Than calling himself "Uncle Jesse" and the other boys "The Rippers".
    • Young Shay wonders why her head is itchy.
  • Establishing Character Moment:
    Young Brittnay: I didn't transfer. (beat) I was expelled.
  • First Day of School Episode: For Brittnay, at least at Meadow Lane Elementary.
  • Jerkass Has a Point:
    • Shay's absolutely correct to point out Mackenzie should've known better than to break her word against someone as angry and volatile as Brittnay because she doesn't make idle threats.
    • For all her Enfant Terrible attitute, Brittnay is right at pointing up Mackenzie's way of using her friends is quite unappealing if her intention is making her one of them.
      Mackenzie: You know, we'd like to be your friend.
      Brittnay: Why, so you can punch me in the face? No, thank you.
  • Never My Fault: Mackenzie refuses to acknowledge how badly she fucked up by blowing up Brittnay's car and manipulating her, thinking Brittnay's overreacting even as Shay repeatedly reminds her that Brittnay warned Mackenzie never to betray her while they all know how dangerous she can be.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Shay bluntly spells it out that Mackenzie fucked up big time.
    Shay: Oh I'm sorry! I'm not the one who blew up Brittnay's car and unleashed the fucking succubus that we took care of eight and a half years ago!
    Mackenzie: Oh C'MON!!! How was I supposed to know she would take this so goddamn personally?!
    Shay: She warned you, Mackenzie! She fucking warned you!
    Mackenzie: IT WAS THE THIRD. GRADE. SHAY. How was I supposed to know-
    Shay: Oh you just HAD to screw her over, didn't you?! You just HAD to screw her over the same way you screw over anyone who dares get in the way of the great and glorious Mackenzie Zales!
  • Raging Stiffie: Young Than gets two.
  • Shout-Out:
    • Young Rachel, Mackenzie, and Shay all discuss Mean Girls at the start of the flashback.
    • We have little Than and his Full House references.
  • Whole Episode Flashback: Once again, to the Third Grade.
