A gender war divides the group when Jonesy works at The Penalty Box and proves a better salesman than Jen. Meanwhile, Jude becomes the mall's unofficial babysitter.

Tropes:

  • Babysitting Episode: Yummy Mummy asks Jude to watch her son and before he knows it, he has a whole daycare service going.
  • Babysitter's Nightmare: It’s no wonder Yummy Mummy wants to get away from Stanley so bad.
    Jude: So, okay, what do you usually do with babysitters?
    Stanley: Make them cry.
  • Badly Battered Babysitter: The boys become this after Jude ropes them into helping with his babysitting business and Jonesy is too proud to ask the girls for help.
  • Broken Tears: After dealing with three screaming brats and getting fired from the Penalty Box, Jonesy breaks down and, crying, finally asks the girls for help.
  • Crazy Jealous Guy: Wyatt freaks out when he learns that not only did Chad and Serena used to date, but she also still has his bandanna and actively wears it.
  • Facepalm: Jude does one when the girls suggest just putting the kids down for a nap and he realizes how obvious that was.
  • Girls vs. Boys Plot: When the boys (mostly Jonesy) claim that they’re better than the girls, it starts off an escalating boys vs. girls competition.
  • Groin Attack: This happens to Jude several times while he’s babysitting the mall kids.
  • Impending Doom P.O.V.: Played for laughs. We see from Jonesy’s P.O.V as he sneaks up on Jen in swimming trunks & diving fins and shoves a net over her head.
  • Improbable Aiming Skills: Jonesy manages to ring up a sale from across the store by hitting a baseball at the register with perfect accuracy.
  • Sugar Causes Hyperactivity: When Jude asks for help with the kids he’s babysitting, Jonesy has the bright idea to give them chocolate. Of course, this makes them even more hyper than they were before.
    Jude: Calm down little monkey dudes! Have some more chocolate!
  • Vomit Discretion Shot: Jen runs offscreen to get sick after eating at Stick-It and then riding the mall’s roller coaster.
