During spring break, Fillmore goes to visit his old partner Wayne at his new school in Tennessee, where they must solve a case involving missing pralines and deal with a corrupt safety patrol.
- Absurdly Spacious Sewer: Wayne's school has sewers under the building. Fillmore even finds an inflatable gator in the water.
- Busman's Holiday: Fillmore, a safety patroler, goes to visit Wayne at his precinct for spring vacation and later helps him solve a case.
- Chekhov's Gun: While examining the vault themselves, Wayne notes that it's supposed to be a perfect cube, but one side is three inches off. Fillmore later realizes that this is where the pralines are, stacked up to look like bricks.
- A Day in the Limelight: Rather than focusing on the happenings at X, this episode has Fillmore visit his old partner Wayne in Tennessee and help him solve a case at his new school.
- Engineered Public Confession: Fillmore gets the Patrol Sheriff to admit his corruption this way. While Thrift chases him through the sewers under the school, he goads Thrift into talking about how he was the one who stole the pralines and that he plans to sell them, but Thrift doesn't realize until it's too late that they're under the auditorium and Wayne has lowered a microphone into the sewer so his plans are revealed to the whole school.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Fillmore has one during the taxi ride to the train station while looking at the skull-shaped candy he was given.
- Felony Misdemeanor: Played for Drama. The Patrol Sheriff creates a new rule banning personal photographs. This rule carries a ridiculous sentence of ten weeks in detention and immediate dismissal from the Saftey Patrol.
- Gilligan Cut: As they leave school, Fillmore tells Ingrid that he expects a nice, relaxing vacation. He repeats these words as it cuts to him at Wayne's school, chasing a pig thief.
- Hidden in Plain Sight: The missing pralines never left the storeroom, and the boxes were painted to look like bricks lining the walls.
- Large Ham: Colonel Thrift, which isn't surprising as he's voiced by R. Lee Ermey.
- Laser-Guided Karma: The Patrol Sheriff is dishonorably discharged from his position and sent away to military school.
- Locked Room Mystery: The plot revolves around one. 400 boxes of pralines go missing from the vault. No one went in or out, and there was only one entrance, which was guarded the entire day. As it turns out, there was a secret, hidden entrance to the vault hidden under some loose bricks, and the pralines never left the vault. The boxes were spray-painted with food coloring in order to make them look like bricks and then staked up against the wall to provide the illusion that the vault was totally empty.
- Money, Dear Boy: In-Universe. The reason why the pralines were stolen by the Sheriff and his cronies was so they could sell them for a large profit. Wayne speculates the Sheriff would use the money to buy video games.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: The principal refuses to pursue any disciplinary action against the Patrol Sheriff not just because the Patrol Sheriff is his son, but because Fillmore is accusing him of a major crime without any evidence (he doesn't even reveal their relationship to Fillmore until after the latter admits he has no proof). However, after the Engineered Public Confession, the principal doesn't hesitate for a moment to send him off to military school.
- Screw the Rules, I Make Them!. The Patrol Sheriff. He often created new, bogus rules and regulations just to get what he wants while openly flaunting them the entire time. For example, he creates a rule banning video games at school just so that he can confiscate them and keep them for himself, and later on creates a new rule banning personal photographs on the desks of Saftey Patrollers to get Wayne kicked off the force.
- Sewer Gator: Subverted. There are rumors of these being in the sewers underneath Wayne's school, but the one the characters come across is just an inflatable toy left as a prank.
- Small-Town Tyrant: Patrol Sheriff Thrift has a strong Tennessee drawl, and he's also a Dirty Cop who regularly abuses his position on the Safety Patrol. Unsurprisingly, it turns out that he's the one who stole the pralines that were meant to be sold for school funds.
- Smooch of Victory: Wayne gets one on the cheek from his classmate, Lucille, after he's named the new Patrol Sheriff.
- Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Wayne's school's safety patrol has an officer named Jeter who's basically a southern Expy of O'Farrell. He's goofy, he doesn't get a lot of respect by his fellow safety patrollers, and ends up helping Fillmore and Wayne find evidence that his safety patrol commissioner is dirty.
- Team Pet: Jeremiah, a lazy bloodhound, is this for Wayne’s safety patrol precinct.
- Token Good Teammate: Aside from Wayne, the only honorable safety patroller at his new school is a boy named Jeter who winds up helping him and Fillmore take down the Sheriff and his cronies.
- Villain Respect. Inverted. Fillmore admits that the Patrol Sheriff's plan of using food coloring to disguise the pralines as bricks in the vault was clever, as it didn't leave an odor like normal paint would.
