When an outraged art critic recommends that Grandmama get a teacher to help her paint better, Gomez hires Sam Picasso, a penniless non-talent who's more than willing to be flown to affluent America to teach in exchange for free room and board.
This episode includes examples of the following tropes:
- Fractured Fairy Tale:[Sam looks over Wednesday's little grave markers of famous people and characters who have been beheaded.]
Sam Picasso: Little Red Riding Hood... she didn't die.
Wednesday: The way we play it, she does. - Happily Failed Suicide: Sam Picasso is about to hang himself when he gets the call from Grandmama asking him to be her teacher. He gladly accepts.
- Taking Advantage of Generosity: Sam Picasso is happy to pretend he's a master painter to be flown to America and get free and room and board.
