"Sun's Out, Buns Out" is the second segment of the thirtieth episode, as well as the season one finale of the Disney Channel animated series Kiff.

Synopsis[]

Barry learns to swim.

Plot[]

With Table Town Middle School officially out for the summer, Kiff, Barry, Trevor, Renée, Candle, and Reggie make plans to hang out now that they've graduated from 7th Grade. Barry suggests going to the pool, then shocks his friends by revealing that he actually has a pool at home. Upon arriving there, however, they find that the pool is being used by Terri and her friends, who hog the pool to themselves. When Terri points out that Barry cannot even swim, Kiff and Barry make a bet with Terri that the middle schoolers can use the pool if Barry manages to swim the entire length of the pool by the end of the week, and that whoever loses the bet has to serve watermelon by the pool for the entire summer.

Seeing Ben and Quinn driving to the Table Town Mall in their water-filled dolphin car, the middle schoolers head to the mall as well. There, Barry's friends stack on top of each other and disguise themselves as a valet, then take the car so that Barry can practice in it. After receiving swimming lessons on land from the others, Barry gets in the car and begins to swim. He manages well until his foot hits a miniature castle ornament in the water, which triggers a flashback of him being pinched in the foot by a monster at the bottom of his pool while swimming there when he was younger. Barry jumps out of the car screaming, then explains that he cannot swim because of his traumatic encounter with what Terri claimed was a monster called "the Terrible", who would return for Barry if he ever tried to get back in his pool.

Barry's friends all recognize that the "monster" was merely a lie told by Terri to a gullible Barry, though Kiff tells Barry that he does not have to force himself to swim if he feels uncomfortable. Determined to prove himself to his friends and prevent Terri from winning the bet, Barry decides to face his fears. He returns to his pool with the others, then gets in the water and swims without fear. Realizing that she is about to lose the bet, Terri discreetly goes underwater and pinches Barry's foot before he can make it to the end of the pool, causing him to abruptly stop and scream in terror.

After getting Barry out of the pool, Kiff catches Terri reemerging from underwater and realizes that she sabotaged Barry's swim. Kiff makes Barry realize that "the Terrible" was actually Terri herself by pointing out that she even named the monster after herself. With this knowledge, Barry gets back in the water and swims to the end of the pool, fully conquering his fears. Terri congratulates Barry and accepts that she lost the bet. Over a musical montage, Kiff and the others have fun in the pool and celebrate the beginning of summer, eventually being joined by literally almost everybody from all over the island, who have also just learned about the Buns' pool.

Trivia[]

  • Opening Sponsor: Tanks 4 Nothing Fish Tanks.
  • The episode's title references the expression "sun's out, buns out".
  • "Hot Bird Summer" is a play on the slang expression "hot girl summer".
  • Kiff points out to Barry about Terri being "The Terrible" as the name has "Terri Two-Bowls.
  • When Barry realized Terri pinched him in the pool when they were kids, Barry mentions her nailpolish was pink, which would be impossible since Terri was underwater.

Continuity[]

  • Barry overcomes his inability to swim, which was first established in "Pool Party".
    • It's revealed through a flashback that when they were kids, Terri pinched Barry's foot while they were in the pool, Terri made him believed Barry was marked by "The Terrible" and will catch Barry again if he gets in the water. The story traumatized him as Barry was scared to go in the water again but also left him unable to learn swimming until he learned the truth.
  • The song calls back to many episodes from the first season, which is revealed that every episode of the first season all took place during Kiff and Barry's first year of Middle School (7th Grade):
