Courtney must go a whole day without correcting her classmates. Meanwhile, Chef is figuring out whether a cucumber is a fruit or a vegetable.

Tropes

  • Break the Cutie: Duncan decides to push Courtney to the limit by doing things that Courtney would correct them on.
  • The Cameo: Don makes a cameo as a scientist that Chef Hatchet visits.
  • Hyperventilation Bag: Courtney is not allowed to correct anyone on what they're doing wrong and the other students go out of her way to push her to her limit. Noah's contribution is to color outside of the lines. Unable to deal with the sight, Courtney grabs a bag and breathes into it as she runs out of the room.
  • The Man in the Mirror Talks Back: When Courtney reaches her breaking point, she's in the bathroom and gazes in the mirror, noting that she's losing it. That's when her own reflection starts berating her and moving independently from her. Courtney realizes she has to snap out of the vision and slaps herself repeatedly, which disturbs her reflection.
  • Mythology Gag: This isn't the first time that Duncan got arrested for destruction of a major piece of property.
  • Pyrrhic Victory: Even though Courtney eventually won the bet, Duncan still gets the last laugh when she immediately corrects the police about the handcuffs, much to her dismay.
  • Slap Yourself Awake: Courtney reaches her breaking point when Beth refuses to wash her hands after going to the bathroom. Her own reflection begins berating her for being weak and Courtney realizes she has to clear her mind and toughen up. She does so by slapping herself three times, to the shock of her reflection.
  • Trauma Conga Line: This episode is basically like a game of "Torture Courtney"
