Recap / Dinosaurs S 02 E 22 Leader Of The Pack

Go To

After constantly getting beat up by a gang, Robbie decides to join a gang that Spike is part of. During initiations, Robbie gets chased by the leader, and when he goes missing, Robbie is named the new leader of the pack. However, Robbie comes to dislike it, but can't quit. He ends up faking his own death so he'll be out of the gang, but at his fake funeral, the gang comes and reveals that they eat dead dinosaurs. Robbie then reveals that he's not really dead, but then the leader shows up, alive after all, and Robbie decides that he has to face his battles. Afterwards, the whole family is bandaged from the fight. Spike informs them that they will no longer harm Robbie and that he left his gang, as he raids the Sinclairs' refrigerator.

Includes examples of

  • First Appearance: Captain Action Figure.
  • Klingon Promotion: Whoever eats the gang's leader becomes the new leader.
  • Literal Metaphor: Charlene tells Fran about Robbie's assault:
    Charlene: A wild pack mopped up the street with him.
    Fran: Tell me what actually happened.
    Charlene: They actually mopped up the street with him. They actually picked him up by his feet and dipped his head in the swamp and actually dragged him up and down the street.
  • Merchandise-Driven: Baby watches a show featuring Captain Action Figure, where each of his items are shown and mentioned as being available in stores (with on-screen text telling viewers to say "want that!"). Fran asks how long this commercial is, only for the Baby to reveal that it's not a commercial.
  • Title Drop:
    Robbie: I'm a member of the Scavengers?
    Spike: A member? Not quite, Sinclair. You're the leader of the pack.
