The Knights

The Knights is the third episode of season two of The Amazing World of Gumball and the first episode of season two in CN Philippines.

Synopsis
Gumball and Tobias compete for Penny's affection by putting on the lamest duel in history.

Plot
The episode begins with Gumball rushing his family to get the house cleaned up for Penny's arrival. As Richard is taking a shower, Gumball notices that his breath is bad, so he throws his father out and uses some soap to clean his mouth since they're out of toothpaste.

Meanwhile, Penny and her father are on their way to the Watterson's home. Mr. Fitzgerald asks his daughter if she is sure that she wants to do her Medieval project with Gumball since he apparently lives in a bad part of town, to which she still says yes. As they are driving by the Watterson's house, they see Anais falling off of a ladder, Richard completely nude and giving himself a shower with a hose outside, Nicole covered in garbage bags, Darwin with a tray of badly burnt cookies, and Gumball rushing outside to greet them with a mouth full of green soap suds. Mr. Fitzgerald quickly drives away to her daughter's contempt, while Gumball runs after them until he collapses.

After school the next day, Idaho is telling Tobias that he is taking their Medieval assignment too seriously, as he is dressed in a very flamboyant outfit and speaking with an exaggerated accent. Penny goes over to Gumball to apologize to him about what happened last night, and to explain how her father feels, which Gumball completely misunderstands. As an annoyed Mr. Fitzgerald drives up, Gumball tries to make up with him, but after knocking off one of his rear-view mirrors and accidentally deploying his airbag, he sternly tells Gumball to stay away from his car and his daughter.

Gumball is distraught about Mr. Fitzgerald's dislike for him, so he decides to show him that he is not that bad. He tries to give him a cake and a mix tape that Mr. Fitzgerald refuses, help him while he is jogging by wiping the sweat off with a washcloth, causing Mr. Fitzgerald to run away from him, hang out with him at work, much to the annoyance of him and and his friends, vandalize a billboard so they appear to be friends, only to have Mr. Fitzgerald distracted and accidentally crash into the Doughnut Sheriff's car, prompting the Doughnut Sheriff to write him a ticket, and sing him a song about how he wants to study with Penny, but he rejects Gumball's song and irritatedly tells Gumball to go away. Tobias then tells Mr. Fitzgerald that he wants to study with Penny, but Mr. Fitzgerald angrily closes the door, injuring Tobias' foot in the process, and after trying to ask Penny what is it with her and boys, he discovers she has gone. Afterwards, Gumball walks home and sees Penny sitting on his doorstep, who was able to come over to his house after asking her mother.

Gumball is overjoyed, but his excitement is short lived as Tobias soon enters the scene, who claims that Gumball took the hand of fair Penny. Tobias challenges Gumball to a duel, which neither of them win, as Tobias challenges him to a hand-to-hand combat duel instead. Gumball calls Tobias a nutcase, and says that he does not want to fight anymore, but this would mean Tobias won the duel, so he takes this back.

As they are dueling, Penny throws a book at Tobias, knocking him over, but Tobias puts a garbage can over Gumball's head and begins to beat him while he is trapped. Penny attempts to stop this, to which Tobias replies that he will stop in exchange for a kiss. Gumball appears to gain extra strength from this, and throws his "sword" at him, which accidentally hits Penny instead.

Tobias and Gumball begin fighting again, but Gumball is losing, so he asks Penny for help. While she is attempting to control Tobias, he throws her off of him, which leaves her in the middle of the street. Just then, Mr. Fitzgerald's car turns the corner, which Gumball sees. He forces Tobias off of him, and quickly dives in front of Mr. Fitzgerald's car to save Penny's life, while Mr. Fitzgerald swerves to avoid hitting her at the same time.

While he swerved, Mr. Fitzgerald accidentally crashes into the Wattersons' house, and gets out of his car in a daze. Tobias, shocked by what just happened, quickly says that Gumball wins and runs off. Mr. Fitzgerald thanks Gumball for saving his daughter, but only this time Richard comes out of the house in his underwear, angrily telling Nicole that "this clown" (Mr. Fitzgerald) nearly killed the kids with his driving. Mr. Fitzgerald nervously tries to reason with them, but Nicole and Richard, followed by the rest of the family, begin to yell and complain at Mr. Fitzgerald for wrecking his car into their house, while Gumball and Penny shrug, obviously knowing that Mr. Fitzgerald is going to suffer more bad luck.

Trivia

 * This episode has the most errors than any other episode, with a total of 12 errors.
 * A short clip of this episode was shown at Comic-Con as a preview of season two.
 * Penny and Tobias get a redesign in this episode.
 * This is the second major appearance of Mr. Fitzgerald.
 * Goof: Penny saying that Tobias' tights looked nice is not irony, but sarcasm.
 * Goof: When Gumball runs to Mr. Fitzgerald's car, Penny is in the front of the car but in the next shot she is in the back.
 * Goof: The Wattersons's car disappears and reappears on the Watterson's lawn through-out the episode.
 * Goof: When Mr. Fitzgerald's car approaches the Wattersons's house, Gumball knocks over Darwin to greet them, yet there was no possible way he could've done this since he didn't run out the door and the door was closed. The space between the door and the end of the right side of the porch is too small to have Gumball sprint as quickly as he did, moreover he wasn't there in the first place.
 * Goof: The paint on the roof disappears in the scene of Gumball introducing his house.
 * Goof: When Gumball is running after the Fitzgerald's car, the background clearly shows that nothing is in the Watterson's front yard.
 * Goof: When Gumball first attempts to put the mirror back on the car, his waist is too high because in the next shot of him trying to ram it in, his body is significantly smaller than the car.
 * Goof: When Darwin explains that Gumball will pass the medieval assignment, he casts a shadow over Gumball, which technically the sun is not in the right position to do.
 * Goof: When Gumball throws the stick at Penny, he casts a twelve o'clock shadow, but when he fights in the next scene, both Tobias and Gumball make three o' clock shadows.
 * Goof: When Richard calls down Nicole near the end, Nicole's footsteps are heard running but she doesn't come out the door. She comes from the right side of the porch, which again, can't happen because there is nowhere to run from.
 * Goof: During slow motion,Gumball lost his tail.
 * Goof: When Gumball notices he has a red dot on his head, his voice is slightly higher than normal.
 * Goof: Tobias' end up location is different after he and Gumball crashed each other.
 * Strangely, in this episode Mr. Fitzergald states he doesn't like "this part of town" when arriving at the Wattersons' house, yet in The DVD he and Penny's Sister are seen in a swimming pool in the backyard of the house directly to the left of the Wattersons' house. (However, later in the series this was remade into Mr. and Mrs. Robinson's house, implying that the Fitzgeralds may have moved after the events of The DVD).
