History Recap / RugratsS3E23Passover

-->'''Chuckie:''' Oops...!

While stuck in the attic on Passover, Grandpa Boris tells the babies the story of Moses, which Angelica imagines with the babies playing the roles.

* NoisyShutUp: Stu, Didi, and Minka enter just as Boris is about to tell about Moses parting the ocean.

* PartingTheSea: When Pharaoh corners the babies, Moses parts the ocean to create a path for him and the others to walk through. Pharaoh follows, but unfortunately, she's still in the path when Moses has the water collapse.

* PartingTheSea: When Pharoah corners the babies, Moses parts the ocean to create a path for him and the others to walk through. Pharaoh follows, but unfortunately, she's still in the path when Moses has the water recollapse.

* UpsideDownBlueprints: Chuckie builds an upside down pyramid for Angelica, who takes on the role of Pharaoh in Grandpa Boris' story. Angelica is shocked when she sees the upside-down pyramid, and Chuckie tells her that he followed the instructions the way she wanted him to. Angelica then turns the instructions right-side-up, and Chuckie realizes his mistake.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: A delayed-reaction example takes place during an ImagineSpot where the babies are all characters from the famous Moses and the Ten Plagues story. Angelica plays the hard-hearted Pharaoh in this retelling, and interestingly she's still her child self, rather than an adult. Of course she refuses to let Moses' people go even after most of the plagues, so eventually God gets to the last one, killing off the "firstborn" of every Egyptian. Angelica laughs it off at first...and then she asks her father who the firstborn of her family is. Her father explains that since Angelica is an only child, the firstborn would be her! Her father doesn't know about the coming plague, but the implications certainly sink in for Angelica, whose reaction is this trope.
