Written & storyboarded by Deena Beck & Angel Lorenzana

Fed up with Bernard's bossiness, Craig takes his friends to the restaurant Bernard works at and they cause havoc.


Tropes:

  • And This Is for...: Craig takes a bite of breadstick for every bad thing Bernard has done to him.
    Craig: This is for messing up my chores. And this is for recording over all my TV shows. And this is for telling me that all the turkeys we cook will leave turkey ghosts in the oven!
    Kelsey: Yeah, you go, Craig. You go and eat those feelings.
  • Buffet Buffoonery: The trio order all-you-can-eat breadsticks and salad so they can hang around pestering Bernard all day. Craig also gets Bernard to waste all the restaurant's cheese on one salad when all they ate were the olives.
  • Call-Back: Bernard mentioned his summer job in "Summer Wish".
  • Crazy-Prepared: Alexis has at least two different 15-year plans for her and Bernard's lives together.
  • Digging Yourself Deeper: The other customer doesn't do a good job consoling Kelsey after he accidentally hits her.
    Man: Uh, do you want me to call your mommy?
    Kelsey: (Beat) I only have a dad!
    Man: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I didn't know!
  • The Door Slams You: Kelsey gets hit in the eye by the customer's car door.
  • Jerkass: The old man from "Vulture's Nest" returns, just as much of a stickler. He enters Pasta La Vista already in a bad mood and treats Bernard like crap when he's just trying to deal with his little brother's antics. He only shows any sympathy to anyone when he accidentally hits Kelsey with his car door.
  • Nice to the Waiter: Craig goes to Bernard's job with the intent of annoying him as payback for all the times he's treated him badly, but after he causes an accident that could get Bernard fired, he overhears him talking to Alexis that they were counting on the summer job for their future together. Feeling sorry for Bernard, Craig tries to get the customer back, and ends up extorting him for a $20 tip after he accidentally hits Kelsey in the eye; that plus their money from the sock pays for the damages done.
  • Paying in Coins: Craig, J.P., and Kelsey pay for their meal with a sock full of saved up coins.
  • Wounded Gazelle Gambit: A man accidentally opens his car door into Kelsey's face, and she exploits his sympathy to get $20 to tip Bernard with. She actually was injured (it gave her a black eye), and is just in denial about it.

Kelsey's Ploy

When an ill-mannered customer accidentally slams Kelsey in the eye with his car door, she and Craig pretend she's in pain to trick the man into giving them money, which they can then give to Bernard.

How well does it match the trope?
