* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Daniel gets so caught up in his VillainSong that he drinks his own poisoned punch.
** Even before then, when Daniel tosses Neil and Nikki into the purification sauna, he can't resist giving Max a nasty little speech about how playing on others' fears and weaknesses is the key to manipulating anyone. Max realizes he's right and exploits David's fear of being replaced to get him to fire Daniel.

Camp Camp gets a new counselor, Daniel, who seems to be just as chipper and optimistic as David (Among other similarities). But is Daniel really as nice as he seems, or is there a secret he's hiding?

\n!!Tropes\n----

!!Tropes:
* AdolfHitlarious: The writers couldn't resist one more joke about Dolph. He gets his own gas chamber in this episode.
* BodyHorror: Daniel's truly unnatural neck movements.
* CharacterDevelopment: Max willingly submits to Daniel's brainwashing, trusting that if [[MisanthropeSupreme even he declares his love for Daniel,]] David will realize something's wrong and stop him. If his plan hadn't worked, Max would've drank poison punch along with all his friends. It took a phenomenal amount of trust in David to try that stunt.
* ChurchOfHappyology: Let's just say that Rooster Teeth was skating ''very'' close to a lawsuit in this episode.
* EurekaMoment: When Max walks out of the purification sauna smiling and declaring that he loves Daniel, David realizes that something is horribly wrong.
-->'''David:''' But... that can't be right. Max doesn't love ''anything!''



** Even before then, when Daniel tosses Neil and Nikki into the purification sauna, he can't resist giving Max a nasty little speech about how playing on others' fears and weaknesses is the key to manipulating anyone. Max realizes he's right and exploits David's fear of being replaced to get him to fire Daniel.



* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When [[MisanthropeSupreme Max]] declares his love for Daniel, even David is forced to realize that something is seriously wrong.



* UnfortunateImplications: In-universe and lampshaded; Neil points out to Dolph the "Fucked up implications of specifically ''you'' putting specifically ''me'' into a gas chamber!"

* TookALevelInKindness: Max is willing to brainwash himself, and risk drinking poisoned punch, to save the other campers.

* VillainSong: Daniel proves capable of holding his own with David in a sing-off, and his verse is substantially darker than David's.
