I fell in!

Jonesy, Wyatt, and Jude try to prank Ron the Rent-a-Cop, but accidentally end up getting Caitlin instead. Meanwhile, Jen wants to stop Coach Halder's pranks at The Penalty Box.

Tropes:

  • Alien Blood: Jude uses blue juice crystals to make fake blood for their prank.
    Jude: We don’t know if alien or werewolf blood is the same as ours! Who says it’s not raspberry blue?
  • Bad Job, Worse Uniform: Usually the Penalty Box’s uniform isn’t bad, but for Halloween Coach Halder is making Jen wear an embarrassing pig costume.
  • Didn't See That Coming: The boys’ ultimate plan to prank Ron seems foolproof at first, with them having every possible contingency covered. However, what they failed to account for was the bathroom in the Khaki Barn which Ron used to avoid the Loathsome Washrooms and, thus, their prank.
  • Disgusting Public Toilet: Part of the gang’s plan to prank Ron the Rent-a-Cop is to close off all the other bathrooms in the mall in order to lure him to the “Loathsome Washrooms” which are stinky and dirty.
  • Eek, a Mouse!!: Coach Halder is revealed to be terrified of mice and when Jen and Charlie scare him with a fake one, he stands on top of the counter at the Penalty Box screaming at the top of his lungs.
    Coach Halder: Got one in my jockstrap once and ever since then, I can’t stand them!
  • Gigantic Gulp: To ensure Ron has to go to the bathroom so the rest of the prank can be carried out, Wyatt gives him a “50 oz. frozen cappuccino gut-buster.”
  • Halloween Episode: The group spends Halloween dealing with pranks, both dishing them out and falling victim to them.
  • Head Desk: Caitlin slams her head down on the counter in the Big Squeeze after she embarrasses herself in front of her boyfriend.
  • Hockey Mask and Chainsaw: Coach Halder terrifies his customers by chasing them around the store in this costume.
    Jen: Ugh! This is like a bad horror movie!
  • Humiliation Conga: Caitlin gets embarrassed in every scene she’s in, from talking to her boyfriend with spinach in her teeth to showing up in costume to a non-costume Halloween party. It’s all topped off with her ending up being the victim of the boys’ prank intended for Ron the Rent-a-Cop.
  • Impersonating an Officer: Jude tries to prank Ron by dressing up as a cop and telling him he’s too tough on the kids at the mall. Obviously, Ron doesn’t fall for it and reminds him that impersonating an officer is a crime.
  • It's a Costume Party, I Swear!: Caitlin mistakenly thinks the Halloween Monster Movie Bash is a costume party, but she shows up as the only one in costume.
  • Phoney Call: Caitlin is trying to play it cool around her boyfriend Talon by faking a phone call when he shows up, but is busted when her cell phone rings mid-conversation.
  • Potty Failure: The boys finally prank Ron by putting a chocolate cupcake on his office chair which he sits on, getting chocolate all over his pants. He then walks around the mall looking like he pooped his pants.
  • Prank Call: Jude calls the Khaki Barn and tells the Clones that he’ll be sending hot steam through the phone lines to clean them. Of course, they believe him.
  • Screams Like a Little Girl: Coach Halder whenever he sees a mouse.
  • A Taste of Their Own Medicine: Jen and Charlie decide to give Coach Halder a taste of his own medicine by playing a scary prank on him, just like he’s been doing to their customers all day.
  • Too Old to Trick-or-Treat: The boys have been pranking Ron the Rent-a-Cop every Halloween since they became too old to go trick-or-treating.
