Relationships[]

Jimmy[]

Martha cares deeply for her son, and understands that he left the farm to pursue his dreams.

Ralph, at first, was angry at Jimmy, accusing him of abandoning his responsibilities, leading to a tense argument and stand off with him. However, Ralph still deeply cared for his son, collecting newspaper and magazine articles about the accomplishments of Jimmy and the Aquabats. After working together to save Martha, Ralph understands why Jimmy left, and expresses how proud he is of him, encouraging to keep doing what he loves.

The Aquabats[]

Ralph and Martha seemed to be on friendly terms with the rest of the Aquabats, as Martha invited them to dinner at their farmhouse.

Each other[]

While both Ralph and Marta obviously love each other, they are still at odds over Jimmy's disappearance.  Ralph is still angry about him leaving, and Marta still blames Ralph for Jimmy running away before and gets angry at him when he almost drives Jimmy away again.

But like old married couples, they show a lot of love, with Marta understanding Ralphs complex pride in his son's achievements, and with Ralph being visibly distraught over Marta's consumption by a giant worm
