Nerves of Steal (Kick Buttowski)

"Nerves of Steal" is the second half of the twenty-second episode in the second season's second half of Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil.

Plot
Kick, while in the midst of his Para-boarding ambitions, is strapped for a material that can withstand the G-Forces when he is airborne but is denied such a thing when he tries to borrow such a thing from his neighbors. But when a thief surfaces in the neighborhood, a sleep deprived Kick is accused of stealing the items so to clear his name he forms a Neighborhood Watch with Gunther.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Kendall's report card book looks very impressive and well done.
 * 2) Kick's plan of clearing his name is great and well structured, as he forms a Neighborhood Watch with Gunther & puts the entire cul-de-sac on lockdown to find out who stole the items and scans the neighbors in case they have anything important.
 * 3) As mentioned above, Kick and Gunther are still likable characters, with Kick doing a great job on planning the Neighborhood Watch and Gunther always having Kick's back.
 * 4) Although Kick found out that he was the thief, at least he cleared his name by giving everyone their beloved things back and confessing that he did it - and he stole the things as he was paraboarding in his sleep and didn't realize.
 * 5) Half-Decent Ending: As mentioned above, Kick gave his neighbors back the things he stole and confessed to Gunther and the neighbors that he stole the items.
 * 6) Unlike the infamous Arthur version, the *mystery thief" plot is well executed here and watching Kick's Neighborhood Watch was especially fun and interesting to sit through, and not mean-spirited.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Bad Plot Twist: It turns out that Kick himself was the person who stole the neighbors' belongings as he was trying to paraboard in his sleep.
 * 2) Brad was still unlikable at the start for whipping Kick with his Tankini Lumberjack flag.
 * 3) Half-Bad Ending: Although somewhat deserved, the neighbors still torture Kick even when he said that they can forget that he stole the belongings.

Reception

 * This episode, along with Trash Talk, hold a rating of 7.6/10 on IMDB.
