Basil's Chicken Emporium

"Welcome to Basil's Chicken Emporium" - Basil

Basil's Chicken Emporium is the 3rd episode of Season 4. It follows The Crab Monster Caper in terms of episode order and Tristan Guamahava's Holiday Spectacular in terms of fireside tales.

SYNOPSIS

The episode opens with Guamahava explaining the origin of Basil's chicken emporium. Basil served as a crossing guard, but after a mishap, a van crashed into Santiva Prep. Afterwards, Kate finds him eating a frozen piece of chicken, which came from the crashed van. Basil decides to open a "chicken emporium" with the help of Kate, Xander, and Kevin.

In the post credits scene, Guamahava gets a text from Basil, which causes him to leave the room. As soon as he exits, a mysterious glowing triangle appears on the wall and a teaser for The Movie is shown.

TRIVIA


 * On the wall behind Guamahava, there are two decorations. One is a painting of Ringle from the Revision Islands, the other is Guamahava as "Stinkbug Man" (featuring the raccoon variant of Mr. Moose from the season premiere, Blast from The Past).
 * The storybook opening logo features two previously unseen events: Guamahava in the lunch room with Basil, Kevin, and Levi as well as Guamahava in Room 309 with Basil, Kevin, and Nan. These appear next to photos of Guamahava, Buffy, and Max in The Pilot, cartoon Guamahava in The Roommate, Guamahava in Holiday Spectacular, and Guamahava, Kate, Samantha, and Waterfield in The Double Date.
 * The jugs of oil Basil holds on the roof feature a picture of cartoon Guamahava from The Case of The Martian in the Castle on their labels.
 * At one point this episode was going to be called The Chicken on The Roof.
 * The crashed van appears exactly the same as the one the agents view in the Season 3 episode Stranger Preps.
