Warnings: Spoilers for Craig of the Creek Scoutguest, Discussions of Child Abuse
I recently watched the twenty-third episode in season four of Craig of the Creek, and I've noticed a lot of discussion around Craig's attitude in it being described as meanspirited or rude.
While I do agree that the episodes placement feels wrong, I find Craig's behavior to be a realistic reflection of a child's reaction to hosting another child they don't really know well.
Let me explain.
In Scoutguest, the audience learns Jason undergoing child abuse in the form of neglect. While this fact isn't outright stated, the audience is able to infer this information throughout. Not to mention, this revelation has been alluded to many times in the series. Particularly in the episodes The Great Fossil Rush, The End Was Here, and in Alternate Creekiverse.
As Craig of the Creek is meant to be viewed episodically, I do not blame anyone who did not see this revelation coming as it is a drop in an ocean of content.
That being said, the writers clearly thought out this episode if the interactions between Jason and the other characters are anything to go by such as him flinching at Craig and Bernard's arguing, apologizing to Nicole Williams, and his confusion about the family eating together.
The beauty of these interactions is how each of the Williams show real world reactions to a child who is undergoing abuse.
Bernard and Jessica are blissfully unaware, noting how mature a person is compared to the rest of their age group due to their survival instincts in different ways. Jessica takes a shine to Jason's knowledge, and Bernard to Jason's obedience.
Nicole understands fully what is going on, and tries to provide a comforting environment and support system as temporary escapism. Duane is similar in this way, even if he was confused at first.
That leads us to Craig's reaction, which is the most interesting due to how realistic it is. Craig knows Jason as an antagonistic force, and suddenly he has to start treating him nicely without a reason why.
This is emphasized constantly with Craig insisting the two are simply acquaintances for most of the episode, and being grumpy about having to host Jason despite knowing his antagonistic side.
Cause Craig doesn't pick up on what the audience knows, so he doesn't know that his parents trying to get him to play nice with Jason are from a place of genuine concern for the boy.
After all, children are a lot smarter then we give them credit for but they speak in the truth. Children are brutally honest, so without explicit reason Craig is left confused.
TL;DR: Scoutguest showcases realistic reactions to a child who is undergoing abuse, and Craig is realistic in the sense he has to play nice with someone he has viewed as an antagonistic force essentially solely experiencing the negative sides of Jason's mental health.

I always find myself delighted by this show and it knowing EXACTLY what the target audience wants. AU episode?? Heck yeah!
Since we didn’t see the Elders (unlessImissedthem) in the “Alternate Creekiverse,” I decided to make my own version of them switching places with the Tea Timers! Thought it would be funny to see these nerds more posh...and this screencap from the musical episode was easy enough to edit to give off that vibe lol.
I fully intended to edit the background as well, but got lazy :(

Okay but Kelsey going feral and being The Beast of the North is heartbreaking because she likely has abandonment issues following the death of her mom at a young age.
Craig deciding to not even fucking bother with responding to her texts because he was too busy playing his video game must've triggered her fear of loneliness. Remember, she and Craig found J.P. during their adventures in the creek (dude was on fire) and even in "Alternate Creekiverse", she and Craig meet up before, again, finding J.P.
Kelsey only has her dad at home with her. J.P. has Laura and Craig has Bernard and Jessica. Going to her great-uncle's retirement village where she was even more kid-less was hard on her. From the sounds of it, she only interacts with kids her age at school and then creek. Craig could've at least sent a text saying, "Sorry, I'm playing my game at home because it's cold as hell outside. Wanna come over?" or some shit. He didn't even need to invite her and J.P. over -- he could've just said that he was playing his game and didn't want to go outside. Instead, he ghosted a friend that he knows looks forward to playing at the creek almost as much as, if not more, than he does.
Dick move, Craig Williams. I hope your mom finds out about this so she can lovingly tell you how much you screwed up.
