    Hank and Bobby finally have a project to do together, building a boat for a competition. Unfortunately it is ended shortly when a bat gets in the garage. The bat reveals that Hank is has a fear. This is a good episode for it shows that Hank does have a weakness. In most other episodes Hank is a very strong man but this episode shows that he is not as strong as we may think. Bobby starts taking care of the boat but he starts to skip steps to get to the more fun parts. The only problem that I have with this episode is Peggy's story. Although it does not have a big part in the episode it is still very annoying. Some people may not agree this but for me Peggy is my least favorite character and the only laughs she gets from me is at her. Still a very great episode with Hank getting rid of his fear and Bobby learning a lesson.moreless

    • In this episode Hank mentions that Bill has a fear of balloons. We have seen him around balloons before, so it isn't a fear he has always had, however it could of come out of his experience in the season seven episode "The Miseducation of Bobby Hill", where he was stuck to whether balloons and floated around town Edit
    • Tagline: "Somehow I always knew it would come to this." -Bill Edit

    • Dale: If you want to kick this phobia square in the pants, there's only one friend you need... Liddy. Hank: Liddy? Dale: Comma G. Gordon. Nixon's former everything man is a master of self-discipline, who knew that to conquer a fear, one must engage it. Hank: Okay. Dale: As a teen, Liddy feared rats until he stalked, killed, and ate one. Hank: I am not eating a bat, Dale. Dale: That's unfortunate; I think we all would have enjoyed that. Edit
    • Hank (as a power tool is whirring): Is that the power drill? My plans don't call for a power drill. Peggy: It's not just a tool. It's an electric metaphor. Bobby is empowered and he's drilling the point home. Edit
    • Hank: Bobby, Bobby, what are you doing? Bobby: I noticed that your maintenance work on the house has been lacking lately, so I figured I'd take a quick look at the gutters. Hank: The gutters are fine. Bobby: Yep, there's your gutter goop right there, just like I figured. Hank: Well, I wanted to check the gutters the other day, but the ladder was in the garage, so... Bobby: How about you make yourself useful and throw that away for me? Dale: Amazing. Bobby has taken over as man of the house. You've been demoted to Bobby of the house. At this rate it won't be long till he's... mowing your lawn. Edit
