Written & storyboarded by Dashawn Mahone & Najja Porter

Craig takes his cousin, Bryson, to the Creek and accidentally starts a water balloon war.


Tropes:

  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Bryson doesn't find Kelsey carrying a sword with a bird on her head that unusual because in the city he's from, it's a pretty regular sight.
  • Chekhov's Gun: Bryson's wallball ball, which he uses to defeat Paintball Mike.
  • Funny Background Event: Mortimor reappears after the balloon fight, and Kelsey scolds him. She translates his chirps as him saying he went for help, and as Kelsey says it's too late for that, Stacks enters through the bushes in the background, then backs away as she watches the two arguing.
  • Hyper-Destructive Bouncing Ball: Bryson brought his wall ball to the Stump and tries to show Craig how to play. The ball bounces around the cramped Stump at dizzying speeds, the others cowering in the middle to avoid getting hit.
  • Hypocritical Humor: Bernard's cousin Jasmine scolds him for texting his girlfriend while at the dinner table... while she's texting her girlfriend.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: A very downplayed version of this trope, overlapping with the Hypocritical Humor above. She says she's scolding him because of his lack of face-to-face communication in favor of his phone, and although she's texting too, she is saying it to his face and making eye contact.
  • Logical Latecomer: Bryson has never been to the Creek, so he spends much of the time noting how weird a lot of the things there are. This especially comes into play when he questions where Mike got his balloon launcher.
  • Right Out of My Clothes: Bryson's ball hits Mike's water balloon launcher so hard, nothing is left in the ground but his helmet and underwear. After that, we see Mike hanging naked on top of a tree branch.
  • Straight Gay: Jasmine just nonchalantly states to Bernard that she's texting her girlfriend. Whether or not she actually had one is open for debate, though.
  • Stylistic Self-Parody: Bryson mistakes Craig's very simply-drawn shoes for socks.
  • Water Guns and Balloons: Craig starts a water balloon fight at the Trading Post as a fun activity he and Bryson can do together. Everyone is enjoying themselves until Paintball Mike enters with a giant water balloon launcher.
  • "Well Done, Dad!" Guy: Duane constantly getting one-upped by his brother Darnell makes him think Jessica respects him less.
