## Episode Appearances

### Season 2, Episode 1: Dungeon and D.A.D.D.I.E.S.

Taylor and his mother, Cassandra, pull up to the school in a self-driving car. He grabs his overladen go-bag, but she confiscates several items that could be used as weapons including a Leatherman multitool and most of his paracord, not finding his ninja rocks. He asks who is father is, saying that 23andMe has informed him that he has non-human DNA, and she tells him that she's pretty sure his father was entirely human. They say they love each other before he exits the car. The soccer team descends on Taylor, calling him a weeb, and he retorts by calling them "cucks". It's then revealed that *cuck* has become a term of endearment.

After 3 hours of detention, Taylor, Lincoln Li-Wilson, Normal Oak, and Scary Marlowe are kidnapped from detention by a limo driver who tells them he has permission from their principal.

## Rad Facts
