Recap / I Heart Arlo S 1 E 13 Lily Lost And Found

Go To

Arlo encounters a half-lobster lady who turns out to be a former partner of Marcellus' known for stealing things from anyone without warning.

Tropes:

  • An Aesop: Try to consider training your bad habit into using it toward something good.
  • Bait-and-Switch: When Tony hears of Lily's thievery, he fears she stole his money, but it's still in the register to his relief. Then it's revealed she stole the buttons, and he freaks out.
  • Big "NO!": By Tony when he sees his register buttons missing.
  • Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Lily seems nice at first, but in reality, she's a sneaky larcenist who is obsessed with taking everyone's stuff.
  • Call-Back: When Arlo encounters a mini golf windmill in a hole, he brings up the time he found a couch washed up on the beach.
  • Cassandra Truth: Arlo is initially disbelieving toward Lily's larceny.
  • Caught on Tape: How Tony manages to catch Lily's thievery, which is what causes Arlo to realize his friends were right about her all along.
  • Comical Overreacting: When Arlo sees Furlecia wearing blue clogs instead of her red heels:
    Arlo: Furlecia, WHAT ARE THOOOOOOOOSE!!??!!
  • Cool Shades: Arlo finds some on the beach at the beginning.
  • Drama Queen: Furlecia completely loses it when her shoes are stolen and has to wear a pair of blue foam clogs as the only pair left.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: When Arlo's gang find the things they've lost for some time at Lily's hideout, Arlo realizes a way Lily can use her stealing habit for good — by training herself to find people's lost things and open her own lost and found business.
  • Oh, Crap!: Arlo when he sees the tape of Lily stealing from Tony's. He gets another when his clothes are stolen. Each of his friends get one earlier when their respective items are stolen as well.
  • Naked People Are Funny: After Arlo witnesses Lily stealing on TV, he doesn't consider letting her go. We then get a Close Up On Head view of him as he talks, cut to his friends as we hear the door open; when we go back to Arlo and the camera zooms out, it is revealed Lily stole his clothes.
    Arlo: Berries and cream! I've been robbed!
  • Not Helping Your Case: Arlo tries speaking in defense of Lily in the café... then she steals his clothes.
  • Rocky Roll Call:
    Marcellus: Lily!
    Lily: Marcy!
    Marcellus: (laughs) Lily!
    Arlo: Arlo! So you two know each other?
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: Lily when Arlo first encounters her.
    Lily: Innocent sigh!
  • Shoo the Dog: After realizing Lily really is a thief, Arlo confronts her against his will and tells her to leave Seaside that instant.
  • Slasher Smile: Lily flashes one when Marcellus first sees her.
  • Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: Done during Arlo's little song in the beginning.
    Arlo: ♫ You never know what ya find on the beach! There's a world full of treasures all within reach! Old sandals, a coolah! Someone's blood pressure medication... ♫
  • Tears of Joy: Lily breaks into these as she adores the welcome mat Arlo got her.
  • Tranquil Fury: Arlo barely raises his voice when he learns the truth of Lily.
  • Your Makeup Is Running: Furlecia's mascara runs down her cheeks during her meltdown over her stolen shoes.
