* ConsolationBackfire: Feeling guilty that Mikey was disappointed yet again by a fake Santa, this time by the one on the radio, Gus tries to reassure Mikey that at least he will still kill it in the pageant. That ends up being the wrong thing to say; Mikey [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness tears up his letter to Santa and says he no longer believes in childish things]], concluding that he's no longer doing the pageant and contributing to more lies in the world.
