* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Not only did Cricket not tell anyone about the Crispy's Sundae Challenge, he made them order too much food beforehand so they're now too stuffed to eat one bite. As if that wasn't bad enough, he knew that his family wouldn't go through with his plan to eat for free if they knew about it, so he replaced Bill's money with fake cash, rendering him unable to pay for the food bill.
