A Fish Called Milo
Milo accidentally let his cat Dishrag out, and now he can't find her. Meanwhile... Owen's hiding from his overprotective mom, who is trying to give him healthy, healthy fish oil.
Tropes in this episode:
- Didn't Think This Through:
- After Owen's overprotective mom puts the fish oil away into the window, Milo uses his remote-controlled hand to reach over to the window from the sharp pointy rose bushes to grab the bottle out of the window so that Owen won't have to use the fish oil. Although the hand was able to reach to the window where the fish oil is, once the hand tries to open the cap of the bottle to dump the oil out, it was having trouble trying to opening it due to having a child-proof cap. When the hand continues trying to open it, Dishrag takes the hand out of the window and bites it out, just when Owen's overprotective mom returns to bring out the oil again to remind Owen to come and get it, even though he doesn't want to get covered with fish oil.
- Milo then uses his fishing rod in order to swipe the fish oil out of the table so that Owen won't have to use it. However, Dishrag takes the oil away from the rod, causing him and Lizbeth to get dragged away as they were both holding the rod that connects to the oil.
- To retrieve the oil back from Dishrag who is on a tree, Milo starts to back away all the way back to his house and into his room so he can run over back to Owen's and use his trampoline to jump to the tree, get the oil back by using his telescoping fork and grab Dishrag to make a safe landing. It backfired since as soon as he run over from his room back to Owen's to leap on the trampoline, Owen's overprotective mom loosened the trampoline strings as she thinks bouncing is dangerous, causing him to not bounce up to the tree.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Although Lizbeth was meant to say to distract Owen's overprotective mom to prevent her seeing him, her and Owen from getting the fish oil out of the basket full of sun screen, Milo instead decides to use his sticky hand to take away her glasses so she won't able to see properly so she cannot find Owen or give him the fish oil. As a result of doing that, she mistakes him for Owen getting a sunburn (although he was just using his Captain Flamingo outfit) and decides to put sunscreen on him. However, she instead gives him the fish oil that Owen was meant to use from the basket full of sunscreen after it fell from a tree, causing him Dishrag to start licking the oil from him, which thankfully prevents Owen from using it due to his overprotective mom mistakes Milo for Owen as a result of him taking away her glasses. As a result of the fish oil stinking up the entire yard, his overprotective mom switched to tasteless capsules for Owen to use instead of fish oil.
- Nature Abhors a Vacuum Cleaner: After Owen's overprotective mom saw Dishrag running with the fish oil (after Milo's failed solution by using a fishing rod to swipe out the fish oil caused Dishrag to take it away), she decided to scare Dishrag out of the tree with a vacuum cleaner due to getting dander all over her tree. This led to fish oil stuck to the tree to fall over to a basket full of sun screen.
- Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The title is a reference to A Fish Called Wanda.
- Pyrrhic Victory: Milo still smells like fish oil regardless as well as more cats continuing to lick the oil on him, despite already taking three human baths and a million cat baths to try to get the fish oil smell out of him.
- Stock Audio Clip: Owen's "Uh-oh! Flamingo!" call in this episode was later reused in the second opening.
- Toilet Humour: Milo has to empty Dishrag's stinky litterbox at the beginning of the episode.

Tropes in this episode:
- Brick Joke: Milo starts chasing a bird while holding on to his flamingo kite due to the bird stealing Rutger's autographed baseball with its mouth while trying to retrieve from the tall building that the ball is sitting at. However, the bird starts to fall in love with him and imagines that she will marry him and have children, leading her to let go of the ball back to Milo. The same bird comes back just a few seconds later at the end where she's hold a bouquet of flowers for him. However, Lizbeth tells the bird to back off as that flamingo is hers.

That flamingo is mine!
- Didn't Think This Through:
- To retrieve Rutger's autographed baseball back, Milo uses his paddleball to try to push the rooftop level button on a tall building elevator. Unfortunately, the plan backfired as the paddleball hits all of the elevator buttons EXCEPT for the rooftop button.
- After Max loses control of Milo's flamingo kite that he's in charge with due to Milo helping Rutger by getting his dad's autographed baseball back as a result of high winds, causing Sanjay and Owen to try to hang on to the kite string to prevent him from blowing away, Rutger tries to tie a rope to a couple of items so that the wind won't take them away. Unfortunately, the high winds caused all of the items to also blow away, causing all four of them to hang on to the kite afloat.
- Doomed Autographed Item: Rutger gets a baseball pitcher machine for his birthday, but doesn't have a baseball to put it in. He then decides to use his dad's one of a kind autographed baseball, which he winds up accidentally hitting onto the top of a very tall building. Milo and Lizbeth are then tasked with climbing said building to retrieve the ball before Rutger's dad finds out what happened to it.
- "Eureka!" Moment: After Lizbeth sees the baseball in the computer monitors at the tall building, she suggests to Milo to tell the guard and he'll get it for them. However, after seeing four kids hanging on to his flamingo kite outside of the building where the baseball is at, Milo decides to learn himself to fly with his kite so he decides to cut the string holding the kids out from his kite, so that he can fly to the building himself and retrieve the baseball. However, a bird steals the ball with its mouth, causing him to start chasing it. Thankfully, the bird drops the baseball back to him shortly after that, gives the baseball back to Rutger safely and wins the kite-flying contest.
- Kite Riding: Since Rutger's autographed baseball is at the top of a tall building, Milo rides his flamingo kite to fly over to the building to retrieve it back.
