- By the time the Brainblaster-soaked Jason gets home, he has a mental list of CTG ideas and to-dos. But he and his parents are off to dinner at his Uncle Jack's house. Jack—who is really his dad's cousin—is "father of the insufferable Jack Bock Junior" (8.20) Jack Junior is a football jock and "Very Religious" (8.28).
- When Jason learns that Jack Junior loves the church Teen Power meetings, he tells JJ that he thinks church stuff is "all a load of crap" (8.31) and that he's a Chutengodian, which he says is a cult just to freak JJ out.
- Jack Junior gapes. Jason plasters on the "widest, craziest smile [he] can muster" (8.39), and tells him they sacrifice animals, drink blood, and worship Satan. Jack Junior half believes him, backing away. When Jason invites JJ to join him in prayer, the horrified Jack Junior steps back into the swimming pool a.k.a. into the "Ten-legged One's watery embrace" (8.42). Ha.
- Mom reprimands Jason on the drive home. He insists he didn't push JJ in, and observes that they could all see through his pants. Then Dad starts chuckling: "whatever possessed that kid to wear purple briefs under those yellow pants?" (8.54). Way to ask the hard questions, Dad.
