Plot

SPOILER AHEAD! Important details about the plot or story are up ahead (Skip section)

The episode starts off with Gumball, Darwin, and Anais fighting over the computer. Gumball and Darwin finally realize that they now have a password installed onto their computer. Richard then tells them about the password and him trying not to be the bad cop of the situation (Nicole actually was the one behind it).

Gumball types in PASSWORD for the password thinking that it is the password. The password he typed in is wrong so Gumball and Darwin slam their heads into the keyboard into the password box. Then they get a hint that says 'Favorite Child'. Gumball types in his name but it is wrong. Darwin types in his name afterwards which the password is still wrong. Gumball and Darwin then run up to Anais asking her who would be the favorite child if Gumball and Darwin weren't. They then realize that it is Anais who is the favorite child. So they run back to the computer and type in "Anais" as the password. The password is correct making Gumball and Darwin a very ragged.

Gumball and Darwin start thinking of what they can do to make Richard like them both. They come up with trying to be nice, then they suddenly freakishly smile at Richard. Richard runs to the kitchen because he is scared of their weird smiles telling them he is going to make another sandwich. Gumball tells him that he and Darwin will make the sandwich for him instead. Darwin and Gumball then carry Richard to the kitchen table. Darwin tries to let Richard sit down while Gumball makes his sandwich. Richard accidentally gets his teeth stuck to the table while Gumball presents him a huge sandwich. Darwin pulls Richard so his teeth can get unstuck from the table. Gumball shoves the sandwich into Richard's mouth. He assumes he is not swallowing it because it's too dry, making Gumball squirt a bottle of mayo into his mouth. Gumball and Darwin realize he is choking. In order to save Richard, Gumball tries to perform the Heimlich maneuver on Richard but he doesn't manage to do it, telling Darwin that their father is too fat. Gumball and Darwin try to jump on his stomach to make him puke the sandwich out. Richard then throws up the sandwich all the way to the roof.

Gumball and Darwin try to give Richard. Richard declares that he doesn't need a bath. He also claims he shouldn't get into the water with candles around him. Then Richard trips on the shower curtain, which makes a candle fell on top of Richard making him go on fire. Richard runs into the bathtub, trying to stop the fire. However, his skin starts burning due to the water, which is so hot that a little rubber duck gets melted.

Richard decides to escape from Gumball and Darwin so he can have a moment of peace and quiet. He gets into his car but it's surprised when he understands he's not alone. He finds out a huge dog (Cube Dog) is inside of his car, preparing itself to attack him. The dog attacks Richard, which is later confirmed to be another plan by Gumball and Darwin. Darwin wonders how a dog attacking Richard would work. Gumball explains that they are going to save him. Gumball decides to throw a steak so the dog would run and get it. However, instead of the dog, Richard actually gets off the car and crosses the street to go catch it. Unfortunately, something off screen runs over Richard.

Gumball and Darwin then show Richard an edited video that they made of Anais saying bad things about him. Richard is hurt about what Anais "confesses" in the video, assuming that it was real. Then there's a piece of the video of Darwin talking about the plan, making Richard angry. Richard then tells Gumball and Darwin to go into their rooms. Gumball and Darwin storm off telling Richard that Nicole was their favorite parent. Later on they were all eating dinner Nicole was saying how Gumball and Darwin's day was. Gumball and Darwin ignore her then Nicole said the same thing to Richard. Richard responded about how he was the bad cop and saying that he was the second favorite parent. Nicole didn't know what he was talking about. Richard then explained to her about the favorite thing going on.

Richard asks both Gumball and Darwin to get into the car. Nicole snatches both Gumball and Darwin and takes them to go get the computer instead. Then Richard grabs Gumball and Darwin from Nicole's car and puts them both in his car without unbuckling their seat-belts. Once Richard starts driving Nicole gets slinged across the street. Nicole tells both Gumball and Darwin to jump out the window and get into her car. Gumball tells her that would be insane to do. Nicole then tells Richard to stop the car. Richard ignores her then Nicole jumps onto the roof of the car and then smashes the cars windows open and reaches for Gumball and Darwin. Nicole then tries to play I Spy with them to let them calm down. Gumball and Darwin tells her that there is a Truck coming towards them. Nicole moves over then drives to Ripley 2000 to pick up the computer before Richard does. Richard crashes into the store and tells Nicole to let go of the computer. Nicole and Richard then fight over this then Darwin commands them to stop. Larry is glad that the two have stopped fighting because someone had to pay for the damage. Nicole then pays with a cracker (instead of the credit card) for the damage.

At home Richard tells Nicole about everything and tells her that he made PASSWORD the password, Gumball and Darwin then realize that Anais actually was the one who changed the password. Gumball and Darwin run upstairs to find Anais on the computer. Anais then tell them that she changed the password. Gumball and Darwin are filled with rage and explode.

• This is the fourth time Nicole used her athletic skills, as seen from "The DVD", "The Remote", and "The Mothers".
• The face Gumball made when he was mocking Anais in the breakfast scene, is the same face he wanted Darwin to identify in "The Bet".

Goofs/Errors

• In the photo of Gumball, Darwin, and Anais on the computer, Gumball's arm is impossibly long.
• When Darwin and Gumball were mad at Anais for changing the password of the computer at the end of this episode, Darwin's eyelashes are missing at one point.

Cultural References

• The music used in the beginning of the episode is a portion of the William Tell Overture.
• The square-shaped swirl icon on the desktop is a reference to an audio file mixing software called "MixPad."
