finishing Season 4
Added DiffLines:
Season 4 draws to a conclusion; and after four seasons and 78 episodes overall - the real name of the Kid becomes known to the others.
Things start off with “The Kid’s American” before the band heads to the counter. During this break, Riley introduces a new flavor of ice cream he’s created. The kids, somewhat hesitant initially considering Riley’s [[BunglingInventor reputation]], give it a try and love it. All that’s left is to decide on a name, something the kids decide to come up with following their next number (“Walk Like an Egyptian”). Things don’t get off to a good start in terms of coming up with a name; as Richie’s suggestion (“[[{{Sequelitis}} Rocky Road V]]: [[ShapedLikeItself The Sequel]]”) is quickly vetoed, as is Stacy’s idea (“Romantic Summer Surprise”); causing Ryan to note how their names fit.
At this point, Kid - citing homework as an excuse - tries bailing out; but it’s at this point the others realize they don’t know the Kid’s real name, setting up “Wot’s It to Ya”. This proves to be a source of embarrassment to Kid, as he only reveals that he was named after a great-grandfather who was an African tribal chief. After Ryan notes that many names have foreign origins (and Renee uses hers as an example; as she was named after a British relative on her mother’s side who married into nobility), we go into “Sweet Freedom” before Kid reveals his real name: Rahsaan. Rahsaan then returns to order the new flavor before being surprised to learn from the others the flavor’s name: Rocky Rahsaan Ripple, leaving Rahsaan honored as the others celebrate (“Rahsaan, you’re still the Kid to us.”) prior to closing song “Something So Strong”.
