I really wanted an episode where Jim either takes Driver's Ed, OR gets his permit, and is interrupted by some form of Trollhunter fuckery. Like there's a gnome that messes with him by hiding in the footwell and randomly pressing pedals because gnomes love driving (like when they stole Uhl's truck). Perhaps because of that combined with his nervousness and anxiety, he fails the first time and has to take it a second time... but is sans gnome so it goes much better.
Just picture in your head. Jim gets in car for test, nervously says hi to tester who is sick of everyone's shit already. Jim gulps... laughs nervously and plasters on that dorky smile he gets when anxious. Only response from tester is a deadpan stare... so cue Jim looking away and giving an hidden eye roll. He checks mirrors, seatbelt on, starts car, puts in drive and rolls out into traffic... only for the brakes to engage. 'What the....???' A glance at the tester, another nervous laugh snd smile. Ease back onto the gas and attempt 2 at getting out onto the road. The tester barks directions at him... 'take a left here, a right here' etc. Jim messes up one, taking a right instead of a left.. and while he is internally cringing at himself the car suddenly springs forward.
Cue brief panic and that's when Jim notices the gnome hiding down at the pedals. Trollhunter instincts kick in, He glares at the gnome. He can't expose magical creatures and trollhunting to the test giver! Hilarity ensues with Jim stomping and kicking at the gnome, the car lurching and swerving, the tester panicked, pressing themselves back into their seat and holding on for dear life while screaming; then eventually flailing and yelling for Jim to pull over. At some point the gnome bites Jim. He finally gets the car pulled over, gnome blows a raspberry and disappears. Tester is absolutely fuming now, fails Jim, Jim leans his head back on the headrest and really cringes. Tester throws him out of car leaving Jim standing on the curb. He sits down slowly.... facepalm. Has to either walk back to DMV to get his bike or call his mom.
Later he's retelling the story or his disastrous driving test to Toby and his two troll mentors, when Blinky suggests there might be an infestation of gnomes living in the DMV. Trollhunter call! There might be some B&E involved (yet again... come on you guys! One arrest is enough!) more hilarity ensues as they try to round up all the gnomes (armored up this time so they can't snatch the amulet... he learned his lesson there). Papers flying everywhere, the boys launching themselves over and under desks. One group of gnomes caught trying to steal a test car after creating a gnome tower to get the keys off the pegboard. The trollhunters just manage to get all the gnomes right as security shows up. Everyone scatters, makes it out, confused security guard calls cops in. No one gets caught though.
Cue however many days later, Jim goes back to retake his test. He gets in the test car (it's a different car than last time) and his stomach sinks... it's the same test giver as his first attempt. Tester is freaking out, like NO! No way I'm riding with this kid again! Jim has sunk down into his seat. Tester ends up having to give him the driving exam anyways. This time though, Jim passes with no incidents. At end of exam, Jim parks car, tester is looking at him with eyes narrowed. Sassy Jim kicks in and suggests maybe the other car had mechanical issues? Tester angrily rips his passing exam paper out of clipboard and shoves it at Jim, leaves car (slams door). Jim blows out a breath he didn't realize he was holding... whew! Then it dawns on him that he actually passed! He can drive now! Maybe he has a better chance of convincing his mom to get him a Vespa now.
Later that evening in Trollmarket pub celebrating with Blinky, Arrrgghh and Toby. Talking about Vespas and dreamy trips driving along the coast like that poster in his garage, hopefully with Claire. How Jim's birthday is coming up, maybe he will get a Vespa! Though Jim knows it won't happen, at least not this year. His mom isn't too fond of the idea. It doesn't dampen his mood any though. Toby secretly excited because for sure he can convince the Vespa salesman to let Jim test drive one now that he has his permit! He starts his plan to secretly gather needed paperwork. Blinky gets an idea too. He's starting to really care for this human boy, and wouldn't it be wonderful to get Jim one of these Vespas he so desires. A project they could work on together, some bonding time, like a father Jim never had and the son he never had. There in the pub, while listening to the boys laughing and half formed dreams, Blinky starts his plan.
Yup. That episode. We needed that.
