Recap / Fuller House S 1 E 8 Secrets Lies And Fire Trucks

Go To

Everyone in the Fuller house has a secret. Kimmy is secretly seeing Fernando. Cosmo chewed up the couch. Jackson convinces Max to lie about the couch, leading to more lies. DJ is attracted to Matt. And there's a firetruck.

Tropes

  • Bedmate Reveal: Kimmy fell asleep on the couch. Watching TV with Fernando.
  • Big Damn Kiss: An unexpected one, at that.
  • Broken Aesop: Max lies to the other kids that he will ride a firetruck to next day's party, and it seems like the Aesop for the episode will be, "don't lie, it will only get you into trouble". DJ even says so to Max. But in the end Danny and Jackson do manage to arrange a firetruck for Max, so the Aesop is more like, "it doesn't matter if you lie, your family will make it come true anyway".
  • The Cast Showoff: Played with in-universe. The new firehouse chief was scheduled to appear as a guest with special talents, but Danny ran out of time. So Danny films him singing.
  • Catchphrase: DJ's "Oh My...lanta" re-appears. It's as weird as ever.
  • The Couch: The same couch from the original series. Cosmo chews it up. By the end, it's reupholstered and looks exactly the same.
  • Cutaway Gag: Right after Danny explains how he pulled some strings. Cut to the filming of filming the reunion show, where he is apparently letting the firehouse chief sing on televisionnote .
  • Leaning on the Fourth Wall:
    Kimmy: Isn't it kind of sad when they drag out the old cast for some lame reunion show?
    Danny: Not when the show is adored by millions and the stars are beloved cultural icons.
  • Literal-Minded: Ramona doesn't want to do little kid things anymore...So Fernando lets her drive a race car.
  • Maiden Aunt: Referenced by Stephanie.
    The soccer moms are out running wild and I'm home sorting socks on a Saturday night. I'm a spinster aunt!
  • Noodle Incident: Fernando says that he once escaped from a hotel rooftop in Barcelona wearing nothing but a matador's cap (and it wasn't on his head).
  • Overly Narrow Superlative: Matt is looking for a beautiful woman who can de-worm a shih-tzu.
  • Snowball Lie: A mild example.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Fernando pulls one off after climbing out of the window from the third floor, then coming in to pick up Ramona. He did not just literally drop in.
  • Wallpaper Camouflage: Stephanie gives Danny a jacket that matches the couch. Jackson runs in and asks if Stephanie has seen Grandpa. While he's leaning against the couch.
