Boom Boom romantically flirts with Nightcrawler, and then gets a visit from her criminal father who wants her to commit a crime for him. Meanwhile, the school attempts to host a charity carnival that proves to be a lucrative target for the Brotherhood.
Tropes included:
- Abusive Parents: Mr. Smith used to use his daughter to commit felonies.
- Blatant Lies: It doesn't take much for the reader to summize Mr. Smith is lying about trying to reconcile with Tabitha's mother.
- Epic Fail: Kurt and Boom Boom's goofing around almost get him drowned in the opening.
- Manic Pixie Dream Girl: Boom Boom is irresponsible and carefree, which appeals a great deal to Kurt.
- Manipulative Bastard: Mr. Smith uses his daughter's guilt and love for her father to control her, even when she knows he's a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk.
- Only in It for the Money: When given a choice between saving his daughter and a box of cash, Mr. Smith saves the box of cash instead.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Mr. Smith doesn't care about Nightcrawler saving his life and tries to get away with the money anyway.
