Written & storyboarded by Charmaine Verhagen & Niki Yang

J.P. leads his friends on a voyage to find the biggest crayfish in the creek.


Tropes:

  • Bowdlerise: In the original storyboard, after Craig fell down the hill through the briar patch, he seemed to narrowly open his eyes, only for it to turn out his eyelids has been sliced through (though without any blood). It was cut for being too disturbing.
  • Irony: J.P. said that Craig never mentioned Big Pinchy once during the quest, but he actually mentioned him at least 5 times.
  • The Catfish: The trio seek proof of Big Pinchy, an enormous crawdad only J.P. had claimed to have seen.
  • Real After All: Though "big as a dinosaur" is obvious hyperbole, Big Pinchy is real, enormous, and right where J.P. said he'd be.
  • Sweet and Sour Grapes: The camera that was supposed to prove Big Pinchy is real breaks, and then Craig realizes he was being too concerned with showing up Jason to enjoy the trip. Then they find Big Pinchy, and J.P. points out Craig has a phone to take pictures with anyway. Craig suggests they stay satisfied with memories, but J.P. insists he wants pictures regardless.
  • X Must Not Win: Kelsey and J.P. notice Craig is less interested in seeing Big Pinchy together than proving Jason wrong.
