- May 5, 2014
Some Assembly Required season 1 episode 17, entitled "Sidekick," follows the adventures of a group of teenage entrepreneurs who run a DIY toy company called Knickknack Toys. In this episode, the CEO, 14-year-old Jarvis Raines, decides to create a sidekick persona to help him with his superhero-themed toys.
Jarvis decides to take inspiration from the real-life superheroes in his life: his friends and co-workers at Knickknack Toys. He assigns each of them a superhero name and characteristic, and asks them to help him with his latest project: creating a toy sidekick that can fly, shoot lasers, and provide witty commentary.
As the team starts building the sidekick, they encounter some unexpected challenges. One of the team members, Bowie, accidentally damages the electronics while trying to add an extra feature, and the sidekick goes haywire. Another team member, Geneva, insists on adding a "love interest" feature to the sidekick, which causes tension among the team.
Despite these setbacks, the team manages to finish the sidekick just in time for the toy expo, where they hope to sell their latest creation. To their surprise, the sidekick is a huge success, with kids and adults alike flocking to buy it.
However, things take a turn for the worse when a rival toy company steals their design and creates a knockoff version of the sidekick. In a race against time and a battle of wits, Jarvis and his team must find a way to outsmart the rival company and protect their creation.
Overall, "Sidekick" is a fun and exciting episode that combines humor, action, and creativity. It showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the teenage characters, as well as their ability to work together to overcome challenges. It also highlights the importance of protecting one's intellectual property and standing up to bullies, both in the toy industry and in real life.
