Go To

While Bertie participates in Yeast Week, Tuca and Speckle wrangle a giant duck into submission.


Tropes

  • Bait-and-Switch Comment: Tuca seems like she's going to say she's proud that Speckle's her friend, only to say he's just Bertie's current boyfriend. Doubles as Damned by Faint Praise.
  • Bland-Name Product: "ClipClop" is a social media app obviously spoofing TikTok.
  • The Bus Came Back: Pastry Pete returns after his defeat in the Season 1 finale.
  • Butt-Monkey: Speckle gets it bad in this episode. People stomp on him to assert dominance.
  • Clothing Damage: Tuca's clothes somehow tear each time the duck bucks her into the water. It ends with her completely naked.
  • Jaw Drop: Tuca has one when she sees a flashback of Speckle doing a chant with his fraternity brothers.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: When sneaking into The Bread Bowl to spy on Pastry Pete and Winter Garcia, Bertie dons a makeshift pair of glasses made out of a giant pretzel, a string of chili peppers, and whipped cream for a mustache.
  • Spoiled Brat: Tuca's boss spends a ton of money on the Duck and even buys her a brand-new sports car, which she had stomped on all because it was the wrong color.
