Release Date: November 14, 2017

An overweight teen named Tony had been physically and verbally abused by both his older sisters, so he ends up homeless after getting an Eviction Notice at his uncle's house.


This episode provides examples of:

  • Big Sister Bully: Both of Tony's sisters physically and emotionally abused Tony until his teens.
  • Bully Brutality: Tony was pummeled by his sisters for most of his life.
  • Domestic Abuse: Tony used to live in a terrible home with his two sisters constantly beating and demeaning him.
  • Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Averted. Despite being somewhat odd that it's two girls viciously beating up their brother instead of the other way around, it's still played completely straight.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: Tony finally finds shelter at Covenant House, where he relates to other people.
  • No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Tony got battered by a group of muggers one night.
  • Parents as People: Tony's mom tried her best to help Tony, but she was never around enough to stop his sisters from harassing him.
  • Teens Are Monsters: While Tony's sisters were already pretty terrible to him growing up, they became much worse as they got older.
  • Trauma Conga Line: Tony got humiliated and assaulted by his sisters, evicted from his uncle's house, and beaten up by muggers. Good thing he found Covenant House.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: Tony spent some quality time with his uncle, but his uncle gets an Eviction Notice, rendering Tony homeless.
