The Authority

The Authority is the nineteen episode of season two of The Amazing World of Gumball.

Synopsis
Granny Jojo's behavior puts the Wattersons in danger.

Plot
This episode begins with Richard sitting down to watch TV. When he attempts to turn it on via remote, there is no response as the battery compartment is empty. After noticing some batteries lying on the coffee table, he chucks them at the TV one by one in an effort to hit the power button on the set itself, breaking the screen in the process. Afterwards, he tries fixing the problem in various other ways such as pounding on the set and adjusting the satellite dish after cutting a hole in the wall with a chainsaw to get outside. After gaining access to the roof and pelting the dish with batteries, one bounces back and hits Richard in the head, causing him to fall. While lying on the ground, roof tiles and finally the dish strike his head, knocking him unconscious.

He wakes up in Elmore Hospital with the rest of the family looking concerned. The doctor asks Nicole for a signature from whoever is responsible for him. Before Nicole is able to sign, Granny Jojo objects after abruptly entering the room, claiming (as Richard's mother) she is responsible. She insists on moving in with them saying Nicole is incapable of taking care of her family. Gumball notices his mother's rage and asks the doctor which object in the room is most inexpensive. He points to an IV rack which Gumball passes to Nicole. She proceeds to bend it out of shape, but after being told it was worth three hundred dollars, she bends it back to normal.

Goofs/Errors

 * When Richard falls off of the roof, he is bombarded with tiles even though the roof is clearly covered with shingles.
 * Outside the hospital, Granny Jojo instructs Gumball to look right then left to see the nearest car first. However, in Elmore, vehicles drive on the right side making the left car nearest. This oversight is probably due to the show originating in the United Kingdom.
 * The Daisyland highway signs are all misspelled as "DIZZILAND"
 * The color of Granny Jojo's clothes changes to beige when she is in the car.
