Recap / Henry Danger S 1 E 22 The Bucket Trap

Go To

When Henry considers telling Jasper that he's Kid Danger, he and Charlotte give him a test to keep a fake secret that they're dating to see if he's ready. Meanwhile, Piper becomes a therapist.

Tropes:

  • Continuity Nod: Back in "Henry the Man-Beast", Piper considers becoming a life coach; she finally fulfils her dream in this episode.
  • Kick the Dog: Henry and Charlotte want to tell Jasper the truth about their job, but Ray won't allow it, believing he can't keep a secret. They decide to test Jasper by telling him a fake secret to see if he can really keep one. Despite temptations by Ray with a valuable bucket, Jasper does a pretty good job keeping the secret, and when it looks like Ray is finally going to accept that they can trust Jasper, Ray tricks Jasper into saying the secret out loud and starts gloating about it to Henry, Charlotte, and Jasper.
  • Mistaken for Romance: The fake secret Henry tells Jasper is he and Charlotte are now boyfriend and girlfriend. He starts to actually believe this, despite the two acting like Platonic Life-Partners.
  • Saying Too Much: How Ray successfully manages to goad Jasper into inadvertently revealing the secret:
    Jasper: I'm not telling you my secret!
    Ray: You don't have to. Henry and Charlotte just told me down in the basement.
    Jasper: Really? They've told you they're boyfriend and girlfriend?
    Ray: No... but YOU just did!
  • Troubled Fetal Position: Jasper takes on this pose when he returns to Piper in a panic after Ray goads him.
