Richard changes the password to the Watterson children's computer at Nicole's insistence, but after Gumball and Darwin decipher the password as "Anais" from the inputted hint "favorite child", they start sucking up to Richard in various ways, all of which end up unintentionally injuring him. When Richard gets fed up and sends the two to their room, they denounce him as only being their second favorite parent, and the situation escalates into Richard competing for the title of favorite parent with Nicole.
