Recap / Doug S 4 E 7 Doug Runs Doug Clobbers Patti

Go To

Doug Runs:

Doug runs for Class Treasurer while Mrs. Dink runs for mayor.

Tropes:

  • Election Day Episode: This segment has two parallel plots, both related to one character pursuing a public charge. Doug wants to be Class Treasurer and Mrs. Dink, fed up with White's antics, wants to be elected mayor.
  • Shockingly Expensive Bill: Doug's free candy and soda bill in one of his fantasies.


Doug Clobbers Patti:

Doug gets a winning streak against Patti, but he sees it's clearly bothering her.

Tropes:

  • Bested at Bowling: Gender-Inverted. Competent and usually level-headed Patti is beaten at bowling by casual bowler Doug; she loses a lot of self-confidence as a result. At the end of the episode, she challenges Doug to a rematch, giving him time to deliver An Aesop about self-acceptance which she takes to heart. However, it doesn't prevent her from going wild with excitement when she defeats him.
