The Wicked Stepbrother, Part 1, or Eric Tramer is Trash (Deep Dive)

Описание: Meet Eric Tramer: Jessie's new stepbrother from New York who makes Zack Morris look like a saint. In today's deep dive, we're analyzing Part 1 of "The Wicked Stepbrother," an episode where blackmail is the currency and the Bayside logic is thinner than a 747 bathroom door.

We're deconstructing Zack's attempt to use a Jewish holiday to skip school for a fake Dodgers game, the weird "Bennett Tramer" family reveal for Kelly Kapowski, and the suspicious amount of ketchup Slater puts on his fries.
