* GladIThoughtOfIt: {{Deconstructed|Trope}} and {{Exploited|Trope}}. Nigel Planter keeps taking credit for Mandy's plans on sabotaging Gunderstank, much to Mandy's annoyance. While Weaselthorpe celebrates winning the house cup and Nigel attempts to kiss Mandy, the latter tricks Nigel into confessing how he "single-handedly" sabotaged Gunderstank in front of Dean Toadblatt (who was made the target of the pranks), enraging the Dean so much that he punishes Nigel by siccing the giant, one-eyed dwarf on him. By the time Nigel finally swallows his pride and admits it was actually Mandy's idea, it's already too late and no else will believe him.
