Bertie tries to help Tuca survive a night of catastrophic flooding in Bird Town, while Tuca is obsessed with Kara and filled with depression.
Tropes:
- Bittersweet Ending: Birdtown is flooded but the Moss got washed away and things will eventually return to normal. Tuca is devastated over Kara breaking up with her but is reassured that she's still worthy of love and may have a healthy relationship someday.
- Cassandra Truth: Bertie tries to warn Speckle of the coming flood, but he keeps insisting everything is fine where he is, and that his weather vane was shaking its head "no" to the storm. He is later found clinging to the weather vane, with the whole house below him flooded out.
- Chekhov's Gun:
- The shoddy levees that were mentioned in previous episodes end up breaking during the massive downpour, flooding Birdtown because the Moss is clogging the drainage system.
- The vibrator fish from "Vibe Check" return first along side the boat, then later to help propel the door-boat over to Speckle.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Apparently a mild request for respect and space by Tuca in "The Dance" is enough to get Kara to dump her. Kara sees Tuca calling out to her from the lighthouse and turns her back.
- Empathic Environment: When Tuca's last ghost disappears, the stormy weather finally clears up.
- Guest Star: Whoopi Goldberg as the narrator of Bertie's psychological coping mechanism.
- Hypocritical Heartwarming: Subverted. When Dapper T. Dog speaks ill of Birdtown's co-mayors and Tuca's older siblings Tamarind and Timbourine, Tuca snaps that only she is allowed to insult her siblings, but ends up conceding Dapper's point that her siblings are terrible mayors.
- Ignored Epiphany: When Tuca finally gets Kara's attention, the latter briefly has an expression of worry and horror on her face right before she just shrugs and turns her back.
- Motor Mouth: Literally, Tuca gets into a ramble over her anxieties while she and Bertie are on a raft. Bertie sticks her head in the water to propel the boat at high speed.
- Status Quo Is God: By the end of the episode, everything has more or less returned to the same status as the start of the season. Tuca is once again single, the house is flooded so Speckle will be returning to the apartment, and the moss is all damp and flavourless after being rained on for so long.
