History Recap / CraigOfTheCreekS3E33CaptureTheFlagPart2TheKing

* Foreshadowing: Xavier is genuinely excited when he gets invited to play H-O-R-S-E by Toman. As revealed later on in "[[Recap/CraigOfTheCreekS5E6TheTeamUp The Team Up]]", Xavier is really just a lonely child who wants friends, even if it means bribing them.

* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Xavier systematically takes over the Creek in his usual, affable manner, starting with replacing the signage of the Trading Tree with his own symbol and bribing or bullying kids into giving up their play areas to him. By the time it's obvious he's a controlling jerk, the kids of the Creek are already too dependant on his candy to defy him.

* LaserGuidedKarma: If Craig's updated map is to be indicated, King Xavier ends up taking over the Tea Timer's base, which is hilarious because Eliza is one of the counsellors who voted for Xavier to come over to their side of the creek and she didn't take him as a serious threat.
