Kevin, Fred, Hiromi and Anthony accept an invitation to beta test a brand new video game at an abandoned cassette tape factory in order to receive a super-secret special prize. As Fred and Anthony get to play the game first, Hiromi suspects something suspicious going on as she and Kevin investigate.
Tropes:
- The Bus Came Back: The guy that offered the beta testing, Wallace, turns out to be Tina, Gerbil and Grobla in disguise.
- Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": Grobla reveals to Bailey that Bolgylvanians call a smoothie a "fruit massacre".
- Double Meaning: After a bit of digging, Hiromi discovers that Wallace is connected to a shell company. They sell sea shells, but it's actually a front for a shady organization that Hiromi wasn't able to trace further.
- Enmity with an Object: Gretel has lost dozens of quarters to claw machines, catalyzing her deep rivalry to the device. Seeing the claw machine outside the cassette tape factory made her and Bailey decide on the spot to finally beat the game and get a prize out of it, instead of joining Kevin, Fred, Hiromi and Anthony inside.
- Fantasy Sequence: Kevin is asked to finally ask Hiromi out on a proper date, but Kevin fears getting rejected by her, as evidenced by two of these; in which Hiromi cruelly mocks him and gets the entire school (in the first sequence) or a whole studio audience (in the second sequence) to join in. To add insult to injury, the superpower-giving aliens also join in at the second sequence, reaffirming that Kevin will never get superpowers.
- Non-Action Guy: When pit against Grobla, Bailey reveals she's more of a scientist than a fighter. Grobla feels the same way about herself, so the two instead get a smoothie.
- Not the Intended Use: When Tina sees the claw game outside the factory being surrounded by a crowd, she is befuddled. As it turns out, the claw within the machine is a decommissioned Bolgylvanian shipping arm, used to train boat workers. Seeing how popular the claw game is, Tina suggests to Grobla they can just do the same and sell their cranes as arcade machines.
- Ship Tease: Quite a bunch between Kevin and Hiromi, such as complimenting each other like 19th century chefs that sounds a lot like flirting at each other, or falling out of a vent on top of each other that appears dangerously close to Literally Falling in Love or Suggestive Collision
- Unresolved Sexual Tension: Finally gets sorta resolved by the end of the episode, when Kevin manages to ask Hiromi out and she excitedly accepts.
