Jack's Mental Implosion

The Event
The Mental Collapse of Jack McCain is the formal term used to describe Jack's mental breakdown following an intense game of recess basketball. Several eyewitnesses have described the scene as follows: Jack's team won the game, and Jack used this victory to his advantage, claiming that it counted towards the seven game recess basketball series. However, this was not agreed upon prior to the game, and Dax Bischof used an analogy to explain to Jack why his argument didn't make sense: "If the Warriors beat the Cavaliers in a practice basketball game, and then proceeding to claim that this game counted towards the NBA finals, that wouldn't be fair nor logical." Although this analogy has been heavily scrutinized due to its impacts, nearly all witnesses agree that it was a felicitous and appropriate in all manners. However, directly after this analogy, Jack became visibly perturbed, whimpering, "You're messing with my mind, you're messing with my mind."

Jack continued up the stairs, aided by fellow Triple Threat team member, Theo Carlston. Upon entering the stairwell to the cafeteria, Theo questioned why Dax was taking the stairs. After hearing that Dax was, in fact, also going to lunch, Theo said to utilise the other stairwell entrance, but Dax denied his request. Ariel, who was within earshot of the conversation, mocked Theo and Jack for their illogical comments.

The Mental Collapse of Jack McCain was concluded when at lunch, Jack approached Dax and said, "we cool?" to which Dax replied "yeah totally."

Long Term Consequences
Although not recognized immediately following the event, some consider The Mental Collapse of Jack McCain to have been forshawing, or even precipitating, Jack's lengthy, undiagnosed medical condition.
