Fridge / Mr. Belvedere

Go To

Fridge Brilliance:

  • In the episode "The Counselor", where Wesley is molested, it seems jarring that the main plot is juxtaposed with a silly plot involving George, Belvedere, and golf. Except that's the point — that the adults are so wrapped up in their petty concerns that they are unable to see that Wesley is facing real problems. Perhaps a cautionary tale for parents in Real Life. note 

Fridge Horror:

  • In "The Counselor", Wesley thankfully reveals what the counselor did to him, but there's no way the counselor will face criminal charges as he did nothing illegal. He didn't touch Wesley's genitals or butt and stopped when Wesley asked him too. Creepy, but not illegal. There's a good chance he'll move on to another victim who might end up way worse than Wesley did.
    • Same episode, but in the likelihood that Kyle's parents sense nothing is amiss. Apparently, Perry had contacted them and told them that Kyle wanted him (Perry) to bring him home and that – in lying about camp policy – he was allowed to do this.
