Recap / The Secret Show S 1 E 22 When Good Food Goes Bad

Go To

The Chef is captured once more, but he escapes mere moments later and decides to hit Alphonse's new restaurant opening to capture Victor.

Changed Daily's Name: Tegwin Snuggle-pence.

Secret Tropes uncovered:

  • Chekhov's Gun: All the balls in the lottery were the number 26, the number which Victor was sitting on. The Chef had rigged the machine so Victor would be sent to prison.
  • Continuity Cavalcade: The opening for Alphonse's restaurant invited many other villains and prior characters from Series 1, which is to further annoy Victor that he wasn't invited to the restaurant as anything more than Anita's +1:
  • Cutlery Escape Aid: Victor digs his way out of prison with just a spoon.
  • No-Respect Guy: Victor gets sidelined a lot in this episode to the point where it comes off as cruel. This is exactly what The Chef was counting on, as he weaponises this aspect of Victor to make him despised and thus, make it harder for Anita to fight back.
  • Once an Episode:
    • The Fluffy Bunny Show: Sweet Little Granny is evicted from her time-slot by Ray turning the entire set sideways, and abseiling up and down to tell her this.
    • Victor and Anita land on conveyor belts of tins of "meaty plastic munch" after the title sequence.
    • Changed Daily's name is "Tegwin Snuggle-pence" for this episode.
  • Puff of Logic: Sweet Little Granny and the bunnies start falling off after Ray informs her that the floor they're on is now a wall.
  • Room Full of Crazy: The Chef has drawings of Anita all over his prison wall, much to Victor's annoyance. This is a ploy to make her check the factory from the start of the episode and take her down. Behind the door, his actual plan is revealed.
  • Sequel Episode: The Chef from the previous episode returns to cause mayhem.
  • Shout-Out: Ray climbing up the side of the rotated floor mirrors the bat-walk segments in Batman (1966).
  • Space Whale Aesop: Eat healthily, or sentient carrots will sue you and send you to prison.
  • Turned Against Their Masters: The carrot army does this when Victor and Alphonse arrive and reveal the carrots are robots, which makes them chase The Chef instead.
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Played for Laughs. The carrots, once they gain sentience, force Victor into prison as he tried to eat them.
