Recap / Lab Rats S 1 EP 3 Commando App

Go To

Now that Adam, Bree and Chase are clear to go to school, Donald brings up the issue of Chase's Commando App, which activates an overly-aggressive Split Personality known as Spike in the face of imminent danger. Although they promise to keep the app from being activated, the four teens find themselves sitting at the cool kids' table at lunch, and are consequently threatened by the football players, resulting in Spike inevitably making an appearance and scaring them off. This earns them the ire of Principal Perry, who challenges them to a football game against the jocks, with popularity and the cool kids' table at stake.

Tropes:

  • Chick Magnet: Adam shows shades of this. The cheerleaders clearly seem to enjoy his company, to the point of cutting up his turkey burger so he can eat it through a straw.
    Chase: Those girls are actually talking to him... And they can't talk about shapes and colors forever!
  • Cutaway Gag: The flashback of Spike attacking Adam on the previous year's Christmas.
  • Second Episode Introduction: Mainly for Principal Perry, but also for Trent (and Spike, if you consider him a separate character).
  • Wrong Genre Savvy
    Bree: This is it. My chance for romance. On TV, the new girl always drops her books and the cute guy with the soulful eyes picks them up.
    [Bree drops her books, only for a teacher to slip on them]
    Bree: Oops! Sorry, I'm new!
