Plot
The episode begins with Gumball, Darwin, and Anais sitting on the steps at the front of Elmore Junior High, waiting for Richard to pick them up. Suddenly, Richard arrives riding on a horse named Wunderklopp. He then throws the children onto Wunderklopp and it brings them home. Nicole soon discovers that Richard had tried to frame them for the horse. She then reveals that she had someone to buy Wunderklopp in advance. But the buyer cannot take the horse before the first of next month, so she asks the family what to do until then. Gumball suggests that they spend some of his money to go to college, which has everyone break out in laughter. Richard then decides that he has to call Don Luciano, who he’s had a problem with in the past. Richard then denies Don’s offer for him to stay, much to his dismay. He hangs up, while Richard and Nicole cry. Darwin tries to break the sadness by suggesting to give hugs and kisses for money, but Darwin then realizes that it was a bad idea. Anais then suggests to make the house a Bed And Breakfast, before Nicole declines the idea, saying they can barely pay for one for themselves. She then asks to rent the house as a bed, but stay and eat there. Soon after, Ethel and Bernie introduce themselves at the door.
