Recap / All Hail King Julien S 02 E 03 Crimson And Clover

Go To

When Clover's fun-loving party animal twin sister Crimson comes to visit, she hits it off with King Julien right away, much to Clover's annoyance.

Tropes:

  • Accent Interest: Julien points out how exotic Crimson's accent is, despite Clover pointing out it's the same as hers. To which Julien asks "You have an accent?" The same joke is then used at the end with Uncle King Julien.
  • Bridezilla: Amusingly, it's Julien that ends up turning into this more than Crimson.
  • Commitment Issues: Julien is keen on marrying Crimson... until it's pointed out that marriage is forever.
  • Continuity Nod: Old Porcelainsides seems to have been recovered and repaired and now functions properly as a boat.
  • Gold Digger: Clover accuses Crimson of being this, citing many past relationships she's ended abruptly once her boyfriends had nothing left.
  • Musical Theme Naming: "Crimson and Clover", after the Tommy James and the Shondells song.
  • Polar Opposite Twins: While Clover is serious, strict and paranoid, Crimson is easy going and fun-loving.
  • Portmanteau Couple Name: Invoked in-universe, when Xixi dubs the King Julien and Crimson couple the extremely awkward sounding "Cring Msulien".
  • Ship Tease: While Clover insists she objects to Crimson and King Julien together as Crimson is a bad influence who may even by trying to take advantage of him, everyone suggests that she's simply jealous.
    Maurice: Are you sure you're not just... please don't hurt me for saying this, jealous that the king is about to marry your twin sister?
    Clover: Jealous!?
    Mort: Denial ain't just a river I heard about once, apparently.
    Maurice: Just saying, you work closely with someone and become friends, sometimes... feelings develop.

    Clover: I shouldn't have meddled with your relationship, I let my sibling rivalry get the best of me.
    Julien: Are you sure that's all it was? Hm?
    Clover: (Grabs Julien by the neck) Yes.
    Julien: (Gulps) Okay, cool.
  • Sickening Sweethearts: It doesn't get much more over the top than the two of them keeping their tails held together in a heart shape.
  • Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: Having second thoughts about the wedding, Julien hopes that someone will do this to get him out of it only for that to not be a part of a traditional lemur wedding ceremony, forcing him into the awkward position of soliciting and then answering the question himself.
  • Stock Shout-Out: "I am the king... of a medium sized tribe of lemurs on the island of Madagascar!"
  • The Unreveal: Since Clover never finds any concrete evidence either way and the wedding breaks up for unrelated reasons, it's never made clear for sure if Crimson was actually using Julien or not.
  • Woman Scorned: Julien backs out of the wedding and Crimson does not take it well.
    Crimson: He stomped my heart. Humiliated me. But I'll get my revenge. I'll have the last laugh. I came to you because after what Julien did to me, we share a common interest: we both want King Julien dead.
    Uncle Julien: Dead, exiled, whatever it takes to get my butt back on that throne.
