Tropes

  • Aborted Arc: At the end of "I Love Ridonc n Roll", Noah had declared that was giving up on Emma and would continue to stay more focused on the game. Here, he's back to being sappy for her all over again and not focused on the competition.
  • Character Development: Chet and Lorenzo finally become friends after discovering how much they have in common.
  • Enemy Mine: The Ice Dancers and Cadets are forced to put their rivalry on hold after boomeranging each other into the "black hole" cell.
  • Evil Costume Switch: The Ice Dancers have switched out their pink unitards for black versions, reflecting their new drive to cheat.
  • Great Escape: The teams' goal is to escape Geelong Prison.
  • Locked in a Room: The teams get locked into prison cells which they have to figure out how to escape from. Chet and Lorenzo realise just how many interests they share as a result.
