Recap / Big Hero 6 The Series S 3 E 06 A Friendly Face

Go To

Hiro enlists Honey Lemon's help to make a prototype for a "cute" shuttle Krei can sell to the city. The result is the Bunny Bus, an A.I. controlled shuttle with Honey Lemon's personality, but on its first trip out it gets hijacked by Noodle Burger Boy and his family.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Accidental Misnaming: Krei calls Honey Lemon "Honey Lemur".
  • Bigger on the Inside: One can only wonder how a giant public transportation bus with an onboard A.I. was able to fit in Go Go's tiny apartment.
  • Brain/Computer Interface: Hiro wires up a bunny ear headband neurotransmitter that can imprint Honey Lemon's positive attitude onto Krei's newly developed shuttle. She just needs to go around town being herself for the shuttle to learn how to emulate it. Later he rewires it to directly mirror her words so she can talk to the robot mascots through it without them knowing.
  • Break the Cutie: Hiro and Baymax have to get Honey Lemon to tap into her negative emotions so she can give the mascot bots an "anti-pep talk". Baymax accomplishes this by showing her a hologram of a sad puppy.
  • Calling Your Attack: Crushroom does it again, announcing her intention of making a pothole on the road.
  • Continuity Nod:
    • The mayor is hesitant to sign with Krei for another public service vehicle, citing the incident with the Krei automated garbage trucks from the second season finale that has left people terrified at the sight of them.
    • Much like Globby's debut episode, Honey Lemon's unfettered positivity gives a pep talk that inadvertently inspires a villain to be more confident and efficient in their villainy. The difference is this time it's indirectly through the shuttle which is imprinted with her personality.
  • The Faceless: During the montage, Aunt Cass appears serving Honey at the Lucky Cat, but we only see her from the neck down.
  • For Happiness: Honey Lemon gives this as the reason for her attitude, saying that making people happy makes the world better.
  • Never Trust a Trailer: More like summary, in this case. It mentions a "Trini", which could have meant Trina comes back, or there's a new character, but neither are the case.
  • Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: GoGo, giving the only logical reaction to finding out Honey Lemon brought the Bunny Bus back to their apartment.
  • Skewed Priorities: When Crushroom smacks into the window of the shuttle, indicating that they're under attack, Krei shouts at her that he's trying to close a deal with the mayor.
  • Subverted Catchphrase: After all three of the Mascots of Evil fall into depression, Noodle Burger Boy evacuates them from the premises with a "Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo!"
  • Too Much Information: A non-sex-related version happens when Krei tells Hiro that, in his Hilariously Abusive Childhood, he couldn't get a pet bunny because he wasn't allowed to love anything that showed weakness. Hiro quickly changes the subject.
