* NewAgeRetroHippie: Betsy Ross.Ross.
* StonersAreFunny: It is very obvious that the hippies are stoners as well. When the Time Squad enters the campgrounds of the commune, you can see a haze of smoke above the sign that reads, "The Far-Out Magical Psychetopia Farm Place. . .Farm". Also, all of the hippies, including Betsy Ross have pink eyes with wide irises and talk similar to how someone would if they were high. And finally, at one point, Ross gives a plate of homemade brownies to Washington. While this seems innocent enough it's still a well-known fact that brownies are a popular choice when baking with marijuana.

\n* AnachronismStew: For laughs. Even Otto points out that Ross' commune looks less like colonial America and more like 1960's Woodstock.
* TheCape: Washington. His bravery and patriotism and Otto's childish idolization solidifies this view of him.

\n\n\n\n* WellIntentionedExtremist: Betsy does care about the well being of others and wants everyone to live freely and without an establishment telling her what she can and can't do. But she persuaded Washington's entire army to abandon their stations in defending their country, which could have ended very badly for history.

The episode begins at one of Beethoven’s concerts. He is playing when Time Squad suddenly appears. The three explain that they are doing a routine check on him, and he promises that he has been only making music since he last saw Time Squad. Tuddrussel doesn’t believe him, and rips off his suit to check for wrestling tights. Larry then takes Time Squad to the Boston Tea Party before Beethoven can beat up Tuddrussel.

In Boston, John Hancock and Samuel Adams are head-butting each other and playing air guitars. When Time Squad arrives, both men explain that they have been bothering the British just as much as last time. Suddenly, Larry’s alarm goes off, saying that Time Squad has another mission in this same time period. Otto realizes it is Betsy Ross, and the team teleports away.

The team appears in front of Washington’s “Revolutionary War Headquarters,” where Washington explains that Betsy Ross turned his troops into hippies and left with them to her commune. He says that now there is no hope for America, as the British will be arriving soon, and Otto promises to get the troops back.

At Ross’ commune, a colonial man greets Time Squad and explains that Ross created this place for harmony. Betsy Ross then arrives, saying she made ponchos for everyone, and that Time Squad needs to wear them. Otto immediately tells Ross that the troops should be fighting the British with Washington, but Ross says Washington is “the establishment,” and that he encourages war. She says that her “farm” connects people to nature, and that everyone is equal and peaceful here. Otto protests that Washington is fighting for democracy, but is stumped when Ross argues that democracy is just another term for “capitalism,” and that nobody will be happy in a democracy. Otto concedes defeat, and leaves to tell Washington.

Washington is upset at the news, but when he hears gunshots near him, he decides to go fight alone. To everyone’s surprise, the gunshots come from Ross’ commune, where all of the troops are going crazy. Washington asks what is happening, and Ross says people from Boston, Hancock and Adams, arrived with coffee for everyone. She asks Time Squad to help change everyone back, but Otto reminds her that with freedom comes freedom of choice. Washington says that these troops are perfect, and that all he needs is a symbol for them. Ross shows him a flag she made, and Washington is ready to fight. Time Squad then salutes the army and leaves.
