History Recap / FraggleRockS3E12ScaredSilly

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: If Wembley hadn't tried to scare Boober back, he wouldn't have been led to believe that Boober had blown up.

'''Red:''' Wembley, don't ''do'' that!\\

* AnAesop: Don't seek revenge, and don't take things too far.

'''Wembley:''' It must have been the snakes. Oh, Boober, I'm so sorry! I was trying to get back at you, and the Trash Heap said I would take the consequences, but I never thought it would come to this!\\

-->'''Wembley:''' It was a mistake! I didn't mean to do it! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!\\

making Fraggles shake?

* ItsAllMyFault: Wembley, after he sees the sprung traps and becomes convinced he made Boober blow up.
-->'''Wembley:''' If only I hadn't tried to get back at him for scaring me. He was only testing my baloobius! ''[He picks up a piece of laundry and cries into it.]''

Meanwhile, Boober returns and, completely unfazed by the masks and snakes, deliberately sets them off and goes to take a nap in the pantry, since his room is now too messy to sleep in. When Wembley returns and finds that the traps have been sprung and Boober is gone, he freaks out, believing that Boober has blown up. After Wembley leaves to get a broom, Philo and Gunge enter, looking for Wembley because the Trash Heap insisted they apologize. They try on the masks and accidentally scare Wembley into fainting when he returns. Philo and Gunge leave without noticing Wembley, who wakes up and think he's blown up as well. He then sees Boober come in and tries to convince him that they have both blown up. Philo and Gunge find Wembley at last and tell him they were joking. Wembley apologizes for trying to get Boober back, and Boober admits he took baloobius testing too far—just before he scares himself.

* ButtMonkey: Poor Wembley ends up as this for much of the episode—if he's not being scared by Boober, he's (unintentionally) scaring (and angering) Red, Mokey, and Gobo with his attempts to get revenge on Boober, and then with his attempts to get help when he thinks Boober's blown up.
