Recap / The Raccoons S 2 E 5 "Stop the Clock!"

Go To

Airdate: 1987

Bert prepares to compete against Cyril in the Forest Games, but his training is put on hold when Ralph and Melissa's cousin, Bentley, comes to visit.

Stop the Clock! contains examples of:

  • Cousin Oliver: This episode introduces Bentley, a computer-savvy child who's Ralph and Melissa's cousin (at least, in this episode).
  • Early-Installment Weirdness: Bentley is referred to as Ralph or Melissa's cousin in this episode while later episodes establish him as their nephew.
  • If It Tastes Bad, It Must Be Good for You: When the Pigs give Cyril Bert's peanut butter soda thinking it's a youth potion, Cyril notes that it tastes terrible, which makes him think it's guaranteed to work.
  • Moving Angst: Melissa mentions that it's hard for Bentley to make friends because his family is always moving, which implies it's hard for his father to keep a job.
  • Significant Wardrobe Shift: Bentley wears one of Bert's sweaters later into the episode to show he's slowly warming up to Bert. This has the side effect of making the Pigs mistake him for a de-aged Bert.
