Recap / My Knight And Me S 1 E 12 Epic Traffic

---

• Batman Gambit: Jimmy and Cat fake a conversation where Jimmy claims that thanks to the nearby traffic light, Henri is actually getting even more points because the light is handling most of the traffic. Wilfried quickly goes to sabotage the light, thus giving Henri more things to do and giving him even more points.
• The Bet: Jimmy made a bet that his dad Henri would gain more good deed points than Wilfried; the winner of the bet gets their armor shined by the loser.
• Hero of Another Story: The knight leaderboard reveals that despite the events of the episode, the Knight of Blue is currently the frontrunner to be named First Knight.
• Innocently Insensitive: Played for laughs. When Henri is demoted to Traffic Knight, Jimmy complains that Traffic Knights are the lowest knights of the realm. A couple of passing-by Traffic Knights slump down and slink away sadly.
• Mundane Made Awesome: Henri's directing of traffic draws attention thanks to how he is seemingly everywhere via dashes and somersaults.
• Reassigned to Antarctica: Wilfried tricked Henri to mess up and get demoted to Traffic Knight to prevent him from gaining high-quality good deed points.
• Reassignment Backfire: Wilfried's scheme to prevent Henri to gain points by getting demoted to Traffic Knight instead lets Henri gain more points in a shorter period of time despite the points per deed give less. In the end, the Oranges won the bet.
• Rescue Romance: Extremely downplayed where the Queen hugs Henri after he stops her carriage from going off a cliff. She hurriedly releases him and bashfully calls him a hero, and the two stare at each other until a disturbed Cat interrupts.
• Rules Lawyer: Colbert forbids any bets among knights on his watch, citing the fact that he's a rule-abiding monk. He relents when Jimmy points out bets have rules, and even finalises the bet between Wilfried and Henri.
