Go To

No Egrets: Sergio is in for a treat when a group of baby birds thinks he's their mama.

Meal Ticket: Ronnie Anne and Sid help Casey run his family food truck at a Yoon Kwan concert.

"No Egrets" contains examples of:

  • Babysitting Episode: This episode has Sergio reluctantly looking after two baby birds after they hatch and think he's their "mama."
  • Empty Nest: This episode implies that Rosa has a fear of this, as she cuddles Carlos in a way that she doesn't want to let him go.
  • Papa Wolf: Sergio becomes this to the baby birds in the second half of the episode, when he realizes that they are in the middle of cat territory and must be protected.
  • Pokémon Speak: The baby birds only ever say "Mama."
  • Puppy-Dog Eyes: The baby birds' cute eyes are what persuade Rosa to egg Sergio into looking after them.
  • The Reveal: The baby birds Sergio had to look after turn out to be African black egret chicks, and Sid and Ronnie Anne has spent the entire episode looking everywhere for them. Thus the episode ends with both chicks being introduced to their real mother.
  • Skyward Scream: Vito combines this trope with Ocular Gushers when he mistakes the baby birds for his hot dog toppings and, while chasing after them, slips into a puddle.
    "MY TOPPINGS!"
  • Toilet Humor: When Sergio teaches the baby birds to eat from garbage cans, one of them is filled with dirty diapers.
    Sergio: Fuchi! Health code violation!

"Meal Ticket" contains examples of:

  • Continuity Nod: Breakfast Bot from "The Two of Clubs" reappears.
    • Similarly, Reizouko from "Guilt Trip" reappears, this time to lend a hand to Alberto after accidentally injuring his foot.
  • Epic Fail: Ronnie Anne and Sid's first attempt at making Cuban sandwiches were not exactly Grade-A quality, to say the least.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: To see the concert together, Ronnie Anne and Sid reprogram Breakfast Bot to make Cuban sandwiches with Casey.
  • Gasshole: It is revealed that cheese makes Maybelle gassy.
  • The Reveal: This episode reveals that Casey and his father Alberto are Cuban.
  • Tempting Fate: Ronnie Anne and Sid think they have the perfect spot to see the Yoon Kwan concert... only for some more food trucks to get in the way.
