"I promised Judge I wouldn't bodyslam any more old ladies." "Who are you calling OLD?"

A Plot: Emma is being interviewed for growing a rare corpse flower. The interviewer and famous plant expert, Lance Fury, turns out to be a famous ex-wrestler that Brent and Hank loved, and Oscar gets jealous.

B Plot: Lacey won a "Shauna" digital assistant in a contest, but is worried about constant surveillance, so she gives it to Wanda. However, she regrets it when Wanda displays how convenient it is, and steals it back.

C Plot: When Fitzy states he's going to cut the police's budget because they have unspent funds, Karen and Davis need to spend $2000 in a single day.


  • Arch-Enemy: The "Bad Mechanic", Lance's wrestling nemesis, is called in by a jealous Oscar to get Lance away from Emma.
  • Bland-Name Product: Lacey's "Shauna" is basically an Amazon Alexa device.
  • Call-Back: The surveillance bush from the live-action seasons is brought up when Karen and Davis decide to buy more effective camouflage with their excess budget.
  • The Cameo: Lance Storm voices Lance Fury, and Bret Hart voices Lance's Arch-Enemy.
  • Cassandra Truth: Hank and Brent get blamed when the "Bad Mechanic" shows up and destroys Emma's flower, and Lance ignores their pleas of innocence, since they had been the most insistent of Lance returning to the ring. The truth is they both sincerely listened to Lance's request at the bar and stopped their meddling, while the true culprit was the jealous Oscar.
  • Chekhov's Gunman: When Brent and Hank are watching old wrestling videos of Lance, he's fighting a man in overalls wielding a tire iron. Said opponent, the "Bad Mechanic", is called in by Oscar towards the end to fight Lance.
  • Companion Cube: Lacey becomes enamored by "Silvio", her re-named "Shauna", to the point of celebrating their one-hour anniversary, getting jealous of others talking to it, and accidentally calling it her "boy-toy". The relationship dies when Wanda freaks out, deep-fries it, and ruins its voice unit.
  • Embarrassing Old Photo: According to "Silvio", Wanda once took topless photos of herself while on vacation.
  • Hourglass Plot: While Lacey grows more fond of "Silvio", Wanda learns to fear its surveillance upon learning that it has access to scandalous vacation photographs she had deleted long ago.
  • Irrevocable Message: Wanda ends up deep-frying "Silvio" after it sends pictures of her not-quite-deleted Embarrassing Old Photo to everyone in her contact list.
  • Loony Fan: Hank admits to (still) sleeping with a body pillow of Lance that he made himself.
  • Never Mess with Granny: When Emma stands up to the "Bad Mechanic" to protect Lance from him, and the Mechanic calls her old, her resulting fury scares the "Bad Mechanic" away.
  • Poor Communication Kills: Davis and Karen's argument over ordering either a Personnel Carrier or a Camouflage Unit is picked up by the "Shauna", who orders them a Personal Massage Unit.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: Lance Fury retired from wrestling in order to become a horticulturist, though he's still just as muscular as he was in the ring (and still wearing spandex under his regular clothes).
  • Selective Obliviousness: Brent and Hank repeatedly try to encourage Lance to get back into wrestling, but take his pleas for them to stop as just wanting them to change the focus from new plant-themed outfits to fighting moves.
  • Sinister Surveillance: Lacey initially fears this, and her concerns are justified (after she's accepted it) when Silvio reveals it can access an Embarrassing Old Photo Wanda had already deleted.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: When Fitzy asks the cops what they're trying to do by claiming that the Personal Massage Unit they bought is police equipment, Davis claims "Definitely not fraud."
  • Talking the Monster to Death: When an infuriated Lance threatens to tear apart Brent and Hank for ignoring his pleas, calling in his Arch-Enemy, and ruining Emma's flower, Karen and Davis manage to calm him down by using the Personal Massage Unit, justifying its purchase to Fitzy in the process.
  • Toilet Humor: Wanda asking "Shauna" to "do the thing I like" plays a funny fart noise.
  • "Well Done, Son" Guy: At the bar after they nearly injure themselves trying to motivate him, Lance tells Brent and Hank that he had some interest in wrestling growing up, but he always cared more about flowers, and he mainly went through with a wrestling career to impress his parents (who were both avid pro wrestling fans).
  • Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Emma's incredibly rare but stinky corpse flower lasts for roughly a whole minute after it blooms, as it's plucked by the "Bad Mechanic" and shoved into his Arch-Enemy Lance's face.
