Backscratcher

This article is about Basil's backscratcher. You may be looking for the 2nd episode of the Pilot Season, The Backscratcher.

"I think I might be ill" - Buffy after learning her fork is Basil's backscratcher.

FACTS

Basil first demonstrates the backscratcher to Levi, Lizzie, and Harry in Room 309 in The Backscratcher. Later in the episode, d uring Buffy and Basil's date, Buffy unknowingly eats a cupcake using the backscratcher as a fork.

In the Season 2 finale, Star Preps: The Plaid Awakens, R2-CleanU (robot Kevin in a trashcan) uses a backscratcher to activate technology, such as the escape pool. While it is not seen on screen in Solo and Ready to Rollo, he presumably uses it to deactivate the incinerator to free Hanahava during the Polyester Star Escape.

While the backscratcher is the first item to inspire an episode title, Season 3's The Caper continues the tradition with Dug demonstrating his caper to Kate.

In the Season 4 premiere, Blast from The Past, the backscratcher is featured in Kate's kitchen as a utensil.
