Appetite for Destruction

When Lily starts misbehaving at home, Mom and Dad think her new preschool friends might be the cause.
  • Call-Back: As in "Schooled!", Leni attends Lily's preschool, this time deliberately, and once again expresses interest in bouncing on the trampoline.
  • Delinquent Hair: Lynn Sr. has two Imagine Spots of Lily as a rebellious teenager, and she's depicted with the right side of her hair shaved off. Hilariously, in his Imagine Spot of Lily as a well-behaved teenager, she still has the delinquent hairstyle.
  • Enfant Terrible: Lily. She tries to bite Rita's finger, trashes her siblings' rooms, duct-tapes her teacher to a wall, beats up a kid, and throws a chair at her parents, all because of her constipation.
  • Gasshole:
    • Lily burping the alphabet. Lynn Jr. proudly admits she taught Lily that.
    • Lana burps in Lincoln's face.
  • Here We Go Again!: Lily is back to normal, but Leni gets angry at Lily for finger-painting a horse first followed by her stomach rumbling, causing Lynn Sr. to hurriedly bake more muffins to cure Leni.
  • Imagine Spot: Lynn Sr. has three: two of Lily as a rebellious teenager with her parents too scared to handle her, and one of her as a noble benefactor with her parents telling her how proud they are of her.
  • Jerkass Ball: Lily gets hit with this big time, given that she tried to bite her mom's finger, trashed her siblings' rooms, duct taped her preschool teacher to the wall, beat up an innocent kid, and threw a chair at her own parents!
  • Karma Houdini: Lily gets away with her heinous behavior, due to neither Lynn Sr. nor Rita punishing her at any point in the episode.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • Lily, a Nice Girl most of the time, suddenly becomes vicious and aggressive, which gives the parents a cause for alarm as they struggle to find out how that even happened.
    • At the end of the episode, Leni (also normally a Nice Girl and Kindhearted Simpleton) gets angry at Lily for painting a horse first as her stomach rumbles, causing Lynn Sr. to hurriedly bake more muffins to cure her.
  • Pushover Parents: Lynn Sr. and Rita never do anything to punish Lily at any point in the episode, even when Lily crosses the line at physically attacking an innocent kid. Even in the end, they allow Lily to get away with all of her nasty actions.
  • Rotten Rock & Roll: The rebellious teenage Lily in Lynn Sr.'s imagination is accompanied by this.
  • Teens Are Monsters: Lynn Sr. has two Imagine Spots of Lily retaining her destructive behavior into adolescence.
  • Toilet Humor: Turns out Lily's aggressive behavior was caused by constipation brought on by cheese consumption. So, Lynn Sr. and Rita feed her bran muffins in order to induce her to take a dump. At the end of the episode, Leni is revealed to also be constipated, so the parents make bran muffins for her too.
  • Toxic Friend Influence: The parents believe Lily's classmates have influenced her into being aggressive. While investigating at preschool, Leni finds that all of the toddlers are aggressive and assumes that all of them are this to Lily, but it turns out that it's the other way around.
  • The Voiceless: Teenage Lily in Lynn Sr.'s imagination doesn't speak, though she does make a few grunts, grumbles, and an Evil Laugh.

Frame On You

When Rusty gets wrongfully suspended from school for a crime he did not commit, his friends go on an investigation to find out who did it.


  • Angry Fist-Shake: Byron does this to Rusty as he is leaving while yelling at his incident at the dance.
  • Big Ball of Violence: Mr. Bolhofner does this with a bobcat that invaded the school.
  • Book on the Head: The beginning of the episode shows Girl Jordan breaking a school record with the most books balanced on top of the head: 47.
  • Clear Their Name: The plot of the episode is Lincoln, Liam, Stella, and Zach trying to prove that Rusty didn't set off a stink bomb during the school dance.
  • Crossdresser: Both Girl Jordan and Rusty undergo this. The former does this in order to attend the dance for the frame-up, and the latter does this in the disguise of a female teacher in order to go to school.
  • Disproportionate Retribution: While Girl Jordan was understandably angry at Rusty for causing her to fail an exam, getting back at him by getting him suspended for a week was a bit much. However, Girl Jordan realizes and admits that she went way too far.
  • Easily Forgiven: Rusty takes pity on Girl Jordan and appeals to the teachers to not punish her for framing him. Principal Ramirez agrees without much thought, and lets Girl Jordan off, with the others cheering.
  • Irony: Principal Ramirez suspended Rusty for a crime he didn't commit but didn't suspend Girl Jordan for actually committing the crime. Also, Rusty is still paying price for Girl Jordan's felonies.
  • Ocular Gushers: Meryl does this as she scolds Rusty for ruining the dance.
  • Slasher Smile: Girl Jordan has one upon first donning her disguise as she is about to frame Rusty.
