Limbo

Donut tries to talk to the Reds and Blues, Caboose takes action, and light is information and cannot be destroyed.

Tropes

  • Big "SHUT UP!": Donut shouts one at Carolina when she meekly apologizes to him in the middle of his "The Reason You Suck" Speech.
  • The Bus Came Back: Huggins! As it turned out, Huggins wasn't killed when Genkins sent her into a black hole. Instead, it dumped her into the beginning of time.
  • Call-Back: Caboose's "Time is made of circles" is proven to be more true than you'd think; a black hole leads to the beginning of time. So The Cloud Cuckoolander Was Right.
  • Character Development: Donut continues to develop in this episode, with him finally standing up for himself against everyone else's abuse and down-talking towards him. He also officially drops his Insistent Terminology that his armor is "lightish-red", proudly owning that it is in fact pink, and declaring the others aren't better than him just because of his armor color.
  • Genius Ditz: Caboose decides to start fixing the timeline himself while everyone else deals with their anger towards Donut, and time-travels without needing Donut or Wash to explain to him how to do it, or that he even could do it. This leaves Wash and Sarge stunned.
    Wash: (stunned) ...Is... is Caboose a genius?
    Sarge: (irritated) If he is, I just prefer not to know.
  • Once More, with Clarity: We see more of what happened when Genkins sent Huggins into the black hole.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Donut has two of these in his "The Reason You Suck" Speech to the others that catches their attention and shows them he means business.
    • He starts things off by screaming at them "ALRIGHT, YOU FUCKERS, LISTEN UP!", averting his usual Gosh Dang It to Heck! speech and showing he has hit his Rage Breaking Point. It catches Simmons' attention right away, who can only mutter a Flat "What" in response.
    • Shortly afterwards, Donut states that everyone else has always thought they're better than him because he has PINK armor, instead of using his usual "lightish-red" term. After Sarge lets out a surprised "Whoa!", Donut proudly declares that he is owning his armor color from now on, and shouts the word "Pink" several times for emphasis.
  • Ordered Apology: At the very end of the episode, after Donut storms off after tearing into everyone with a massive "The Reason You Suck" Speech, Wash, who has acted as Donut's Only Friend with his efforts up to this point, politely but sternly tells everyone to go and apologize to Donut.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: When Donut finally has enough of the insults and abuse from the rest of the Reds and Blues, he tears into them all with one, pointing out everything he has put up with them over the years all because of his Pink armor, and makes it clear the only reason he betrayed them all previously was because of their abuse towards him.
