Happy Reboot!
Delete joins forces with the CyberSquad to build a giant windmill for the little town of Bottowa after Hacker steals its power source.
Tropes in this episode:
- Enemy Mine: In the spirit of Reboot Eve, the CyberSquad agrees to let Delete help them fix the machine for raising the Reboot ball as they can tell how much the holiday means to him.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Inez has one when Digit’s propeller spinning in Bottowa’s strong wind makes her realize they could put a windmill on the ball-raising machine.
- The Grinch: When Delete announces on live television that Reboot Eve being ruined is all Hacker’s fault, Hacker is quite pleased with the level of notoriety he’ll be getting. When it looks like the CyberSquad are going to be able to save the holiday, he goes back to Bottowa to stop them.Hacker: How dare those meddling earth brats ruin my ruining of this hokey holiday!
- Group Hug: All the characters hug when the clock strikes midnight on Reboot Eve, instead of kissing as is the tradition for New Year’s Eve.
- Hi, Mom!: Delete is interviewed on live television about the energy being stolen from the Bottowa tower and he gives Hacker and Buzz a shout out, despite the fact that right before he had just thrown Hacker under the bus for orchestrating the whole thing.Delete: Hi, Boss! Hi, Buzzy! Miss you guys!
- Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: When Hacker makes Delete help him ruin Reboot Eve just so he can recharge his energy faster, Delete is so upset that he opts to stay in Bottowa and help the CyberSquad figure out a solution to get the Reboot ball raised.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: It turns out the help of Delete, a rather spindly little robot, was all that the residents of Bottowa needed to turn the ball-raising tower.
- New Year Has Come: The residents of Cyberspace are getting ready to celebrate Reboot Eve - their version of New Year’s Eve complete with the annual ball rise and Reboot resolutions.
- New Year's Resolution: Delete forces Hacker to make a Reboot resolution before he agrees to save him from being spun around by the windmill.Hacker: Fine! I resolve to never ruin this silly holiday again!
- Not What I Signed on For: Usually up for whatever Hacker’s latest evil scheme is, Delete draws the line at messing with Reboot Eve. He begs Hacker not to make him help siphon all the energy out of Bottowa’s machine for lifting the Reboot ball, as it would make him complicit in ruining his own favorite holiday.
- Pungeon Master: Mitch Modem, befitting his cheesy television host personality.
- Race Against the Clock: The CyberSquad has to find a way to make the Reboot ball rise before the clock strikes midnight.
- Suspicion Aesop: Digit has a hard time working with Delete, thinking everything he does to try to help them is some kind of trick that Hacker put him up to. While this is warranted, Digit does end up being wrong about Delete’s intentions and apologizes to him at the end.
