* {{Foreshadowing}}: When the robber shows up threatening the camp, David sounds slightly stilted when declaring who he is and asking what he's there for, asks loudly who could have that exact amount of money, and then reminds Campbell that he got fifty dollars from the mayor. This foreshadows that the robber was actually hired by David to pretend to threaten the camp in order to goad Campbell into doing good for its own sake.

** The aforementioned ContinuityNod above is in itself foreshadowing. In that episode, David and Gwen stole Quartermaster's hook to disguise the actual reason for the fundraiser. While David ''did'' eventually break and confess to the ruse, the David at the beginning of the series would never think of doing such a thing, let alone consenting and going along with it for almost an entire day. In hindsight, that episode was the first sign that David was changing like Max, except ''not'' for the better.

* TheGoldenRule: David brings this up to Campbell as an example of how to be good. When Campbell offhandedly mentions that he'd like twenty dollars and Space Kid gives them to him, he declares the rule works.

While Cameron Campbell struggles to adjust to his new life of community service at camp, Max is determined to prove to David that Campbell is incapable of changing.
----
!!Tropes:
* CharacterDevelopment: The episode is devoted to discussing the concept, with Max out to prove that Campbell is incapable of changing in an attempt to disprove the others' claims that he himself TookALevelInKindness. The end of the episode reveals that David has undergone a less positive version of this, being more willing to resort to underhanded methods to reach his goals thanks to [[ToxicFriendInfluence Max's influence]].
* ContinuityNod: Neil and Nikki, discussing Max's CharacterDevelopment, mention the time he raised enough money to save the camp by getting David and Gwen beaten up.
* ContrivedCoincidence: Subverted. Max points out the unlikeliness that a situation in which Cameron Campbell would have to do some actual good and save the day would just so happen to occur right after he and David had been discussing whether or not Campbell could change and Max's opinion that he couldn't seemed to win out. Indeed, the whole thing was a ruse by David.
* FlatWhat: This is Max's only reaction when Campbell is hailed as a hero after "stopping" a robber.
* FoodFight: The episode starts with one, caused by Campbell's complete disinterest in keeping the children in check.

This foreshadows that the robber was actually hired by David to pretend to threaten the camp in order to goad Campbell into doing good for its own sake.
* GoodFeelsGood: Subverted. Campbells claims to feel this, but he actually just enjoys the adoration and rewards he gets for doing good, not the acts themselves.
* LiteralMinded: Campbell admits that Max is right about evil being in his blood... so he decides to take Max's blood instead to remedy this.
* NoodleIncident:
** Campbell accidentally turns the kids' dreamcatcher-weaving activity into a sweatshop, and judging by his reaction when David points it out, it's not the first time that's happened.
** While mapping out how Max TookALevelInKindness with Nikki, Neil mentions that Max once got the Wood Scouts labeled as a domestic terrorist group.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: During community service, Campbell goes to a store that's currently being robbed to collect their garbage. The robber, seeing Campbell's "C.O.P." badge (for Community Outreach Program) and hearing him say he's "here to take out the trash" and "trying to clean up these streets", assumes Campbell's there to arrest him.
* TheGoldenRule: David brings this up to Campbell as an example of how to be good. When Campbell offhandedly mentions that he'd like twenty dollars and Space Kid gives them to him, he declares the rule works.
* WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: Campbell decides that merely putting his clothes on is enough to merit him a break.
