2
3	!!Tropes:
4	* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: While all the other kids manage to get their kindergarten buddies under control, TJ has a hard time with Spencer, who ends up causing chaos and getting TJ into trouble with the other kids because Spencer keeps ruining what they are doing.
5	* BoobyTrap: TJ tries to teach his ward, Spencer, about booby-trapped drinking fountains by luring Randall to one. Unfortunately, after Randall gets sprayed, Spencer thinks it's a good idea to spray a nearby fifth grader, who angrily joins Swinger Girl and one of King Bob's guards in chasing TJ and Spencer.
6	* FanOfUnderdog: Hector begins to look up to Gus in this episode, giving him the InSeriesNickname "Safety Man" upon hearing from the Digger boys that Gus is the one who alerts them of electric cables before allowing them to dig.
7	* NatureIsNotNice: Spinelli certainly thinks so.
8	-->'''Spinelli''': ''(to Cindy)'' If you're gonna go gaga over weeds, the world's gonna eat ya alive!\

10	'''Spinelli''': Yeah, yuck! Ya gotta get tough!
11	* PaperThinDisguise: After giving his hat to Spencer, TJ is still caught by the kids whom he and Spencer accidentally angered. He somehow thought that no one would recognize him without his hat.

18	'''Emma''': ''(beat)'' Blooby-blooby-bloo-bloo-bloop.
19	* ShellShockedVeteran: Mrs. Klemperer might as well be a non-war example.
20	-->'''Mrs. Klemperer''': ''(looking at the fourth graders in their desks)'' They all just sit there... quietly... it's... beautiful!
21	* ShoutOut: Gretchen and Emma's "rain in Spain" conversation is based on "The Rain in Spain" from ''Theatre/MyFairLady''.
