Recap / Tuca And Bertie S 1 E 10 Sweet Beak

Go To


This episode provides examples of:

  • Anger Born of Worry: Speckle explodes with anger at Bertie when she comes home, but only because he was worried sick when she suddenly left and didn't call him back for several days.
  • Cerebus Retcon: Inverted. Bertie seemingly jerking off privately in the bakery's bathroom? Baker Barb was also in there, standing right behind her the whole time.
  • Continuity Cavalcade: Multiple characters that have appeared across the season appear during the sequence of Pastry Pete's video going viral and the neighborhood helping with cooking for Sweet Beak.
  • Creepy Child: There is a child owl eerily singing Molting Day carols near the start of the episode. And his head is rotating the entire time.
  • Embarrassing Slide: When Bertie is giving Tuca her presentation on her new bakery, one of the slides details on "Why Bertie SHOULD be allowed to have a boy-girl slumber party".
    Bertie: Oops, how did a slide from high school get in there?
  • Engineered Public Confession: Tuca is sneaky enough to take a video of Pastry Pete threatening Bertie when she confronts him about stonewalling her. After Bertie puts it up on social media, Pete's business is destroyed.
  • Eye Scream: When Tuca tries to call Terry, her dialing finger flies all over the place before poking her in her eye.
  • Freak Out: Speckle goes into one from Anger Born of Worry when Bertie finally comes home.
  • High-Pressure Emotion: A tea kettle can be heard when Speckle snaps after Bertie returns after not telling him she left.
  • Ocular Gushers: Tuca cries waterfall tears after watching the Molting Day pageant.
  • Tempting Fate: Immediately before Pastry Pete is shit on by a giant hawk, he says this:
    "Birdtown needs another bakery like I need a giant hawk to shit in my mouth."
  • Voice Clip Song: Pastry Pete's "I made you, and I can ruin you" ends up getting turned into a remix during the montage where the news is spreading online. A phone is even shown dancing along to it during a scene transition.
  • Written Sound Effect: Tuca's "SCONE WALLED" somehow turns out to be perfectly edible.
  • You Mean "Xmas": "Molting Season" and "Molting Day" is an overt stand-in for Christmas. At first it seems non-denominational as well, until Tuca complains about how pervasive it is, to which a festively-dressed retail employee responds "You're telling me, I'm Jewish."
