During a school trip where Kima and Judy are set to reenact Elizabeth Peratrovich’s famous speech to the Legislature, the two unwittingly get high after eating edibles and are led on an important mission by a talking tub of cottage cheese. Meanwhile, Wolf drags his unenthusiastic family into a protest rally to bring back his disgusting self-named sandwich.
Tropes:
- Bizarre Taste in Food: Wolf is pretty much the only one in all of Alaska who actually likes his "Wet Wolf" sandwich, which is pretty understandable since it's basically just a mess of condiments on untoasted white bread with just a single piece of Swiss cheese to offset it.
- Bookends: The episode begins and ends with Judy talking to Alanis Morissette at night.
- Brutal Honesty:
- After Mr. Golovkin finally catches Judy and Kima and they admit they didn’t know or realize the gummies they ate were laced with marijuana until late into their hallucinations, he admits that he believes that since they’re nerds.
- After the sandwich shop owner reveals no one has ever bought Wolf's sandwich, including his own family, his family admits they hate his sandwich, but they love him so they wait until he's not around to throw his sandwich away.
- Couch Gag:
- The boat in the opening is "Boatlejuice".
- Wolf's T-Shirt says "Fart of Your World".
- Everyone Has Standards: While the teen girl did offer Judy and Kima edible gummies, she would not have done that if she had known that they're both "goody two shoes" and they have no tolerances for the drug.
- Extreme Doormat: None of the Tobins are willing to tell Wolf that they hate the Wet Wolf and go along with his attempts to bring it back even though they don’t want it back. It took the shop owner himself telling Wolf his family only ordered it with him around to confess that they extremely hate it.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: The yeti can be spotted outside the window peeking over a fence when the sandwich shop owner tells Wolf he'll name the water station after him.
- Handbag of Hurt: When Moon tries to offer a woman and her daughter a Wet Wolf sandwich, the woman pulls her daughter away from Moon and hits him with her purse while also knocking the sandwich out of Moon's hands.
- Helpful Hallucination: Kima hallucinates the mascot she hates on a tub of butter is Elizabeth Peratrovich, who guides her to seemingly random tasks that turn out to be for cutting loose and enjoying hard fought freedoms. Elizabeth is aware that Kima is high on edibles when Kima herself isn't, but says that she is only saying things Kima is subconsciously aware of.
- Innocent Means Naïve: Because Judy and Kima are such "goody two shoes", when a rebellious teen girl offers that edible gummies so they won't get bored, they both grabbed a couple of gummies and consumes them. When the teen girl tries to subtlely tell them the gummies are "edible" and they kick in quickly, Judy and Kima are obvious to what she means. Once the teen girl realizes how naive they both are, she quickly leaves them so she doesn't get in any trouble.
- Intoxication Ensues: Judy and Kima take some edibles from another teenager, having no idea that they were laced with pot. The teen realizes that the two of them are too naive to understand what they just did and steps away.
- Karma Houdini:
- The teen girl that gave Judy and Kima edible gummies and left them so she wouldn't get in trouble never got punished for her actions.
- Downplayed for Judy and Kima. When Kima asks Mr. Golovkin if he's going to tell their parents they accidentally got high and travelled all over the city in a stolen van, he tells them he's not going to because then he would have to admit he lost two students during an out-of-town field trip because they took edibles and got tattoos, but he does give them detention for the rest of high school and he tells them they can tell their parents they're helping him grade papers as a cover story. Also, after Kima forgoes reenacting Elizabeth Peratrovich’s speech to give her own and loudly insults an anti-Native Senator by calling her “Bonnie Bitch-legs”, Mr Golovkin immediately drives them both to the airport and sends them home on the spot.
- Late to the Realization: Judy and Kima only finally realized they're high from taking edibles from the teen girl after Beth, who's Kima's hallucination, tells them about the gummies after they completed her "mission".
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Alanis makes a comment at the end of the episode when Judy is still coming down from the edibles:“Okay, Judy, but you do realize that marijuana is harmful for teens, right? And I’m not just saying that because we have a standards and practices department up here in the sky that requires me to do so.”
- Let Us Never Speak of This Again: After finally catching Judy and Kima during their high trip, Mr. Golovkin tells them he's not going to tell their parents about this incident because he doesn't want to get in trouble for losing two students during an out-of-town field trip due to them unknowingly getting high and getting tattoos, but he does give them detention for the rest of high school and if their parents asks, they'll tell them they're helping him grade papers.
- Mushroom Samba: Judy and Kima get high after consuming a bunch of gummies from another student.
- Only One Who Likes Spam: Wolf is the only one anywhere who enjoys the "Wet Wolf" sandwich. His own family just pretends to like them, then throw theirs away when he's not looking.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: As soon as the rebellious girl realizes that she just gave edible gummies to a bunch of "Goody-two-shoes" who have never taken a drug in their life, have no real tolerance for it, and don't even realize that they just took drugs, she immediately gets the hell out of there so that she doesn't get in trouble.
- Shout-Out:
- The Native Alaskan poster woman on the Dutiful Dairy Cottage Cheese container that Kima finds offensive is likely a reference to the Land-O-Lakes and Aunt Jemima poster women.
- The scene of Kima staring at a Native costume at a museum parodies a similar scene from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, where Cameron stares at a museum display.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Wolf treats his disgusting excuse for a namesake sandwich as if it's a beloved Lone Moose institution and himself like an honorary member of the hoagie shop's family staff due to being the inventor of one of its highest selling items. In reality, no one else can stomach the mere idea of a "Wet Wolf" if they even have the misfortune of knowing it ever existed at all and the owner only ever put it on the menu to placate Wolf when he was a teenager since he came in demanding it almost every day after school, and justifiably took it off since no one unrelated to Wolf ever ordered it.
- Stripping Snag: Mr. Golovkin gets his robe trapped in a taxi door, just as it pulls away, leaving him in his boxers.
- Vision Quest: While high, Kima imagines that the woman in the cottage cheese container is leading her on a quest, which turns out to be just random stuff that she and Judy would never do sober. Kima realizes that the purpose of the quest was to pay tribute to Elizabeth Peratrovich, not by reenacting her speech, but by enjoying the freedoms she fought for.
♫ Fill my thermos up with hot coffee
Yogurts and bacon burstin' my pockets
Wrap up the muffins, croissants and bagels
Don't you judge me and don't you knock it
Hard boiled eggs spilling out of my shoes
Every banana, even the bruised
Don't care if it's fresh, don't care if it's tasty
'Cause this free buffet's how the school really pays me
If you want-want a waffle, get in line, make your own
This one's for me
The high school field trip chaperone. ♫
