Sampson and Scudworth enact Phase Two of Operation Spread Eagle with "Pre-Midterms," to hypercharge the clones' stress levels to see who will break first, culminating in the "Mandatory Broad Daylight Swimsuit Dance". Meanwhile, JFK gets Joan a giant gold necklace, making her question if she'll be trapped forever in her new relationship.
Tropes in this episode:
- As Himself: Actor and mental-health advocate Ian Ziering is revealed to be the one inside the Heebie Jeebie costume.
- Black Comedy Pet Death: Several of Candide's snakes and lizards graphically die because Scudworth's rabbit (which he intended to be eaten by said reptiles to guilt Candide into asking him out) turns out to be a Killer Rabbit.
- Bring My Brown Pants: A hamster is shown dropping pellets after being frightened by a snake.
- Creepy Mascot Suit: Invoked by the Heebie Jeebie, a deliberately creepy and monstrous "mental health mascot" which drives up the students' stress and eventually starts attacking and abducting them as part of Candide's plan.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Sampson cries when she finds Scudworth's rabbit massacring her monitor lizards.
- Groin Attack: JFK kicks the Heebie Jeebie in the crotch and punches him there after he's unmasked as Ian Ziering.
- Killer Rabbit: Scudworth's plan to win over Candide by having a rabbit he just got killed by her pet lizards goes wrong when the rabbit VIOLENTLY MUTILATES the lizards instead.
- Manchurian Agent: Anyone caught by the Heebie Jeebie and sent to the spa is turned into a sleeper agent Candide can activate with a flute.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title of the episode is based on the title of the movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"
- Prehensile Hair: Frida's weird unibrow comes to life again and tries to fly away.
- "Scooby-Doo" Hoax: The Heebie Jeebie turns out to be Ian Ziering, recruited to increase the clones' stress as part of Operation Spread Eagle.
- Sequel Hook: As part of the horror genre parody, the episode's last shot is of the killer rabbit hopping into the empty Heebie Jeebie suit, which promptly comes to life and puts its head back on.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Scudworth's plan is simple. Have his beloved pet rabbit, who was there this whole time, get slaughtered by Candide's horde of giant reptiles, so she will feel guilty and take him out on a date out of pity. Unfortunately, this is not how things play out.
