Ayyy! We back in the city but thangs feel a little different. Must be Robbin Season. Free Paper Boi!
—Episode Description
The Atlanta episode "Alligator Man" provides examples of:
Cold Open: We see two boys talking nonchalantly about people they know, then we see a robbery committed by them in an attempt to steal someone's drug supply.
Non Sequitur: After the mundane opening of two boys chatting and getting take-out, the scene suddenly turns into an attempted robbery/deadly shoot-out featuring assault weapons.
Noodle Incident: We meet Earn's Uncle Willy for the first time and discover he once had as much potential as Earn does but wasted it somehow.
