Recap / Milo Murphy's Law S2E13 "Managing Murphy's Law"

Go To

Amanda appoints herself as the manager of Milo and Zack's band, and preps them for a charity concert. Meanwhile, Dakota and Cavendish need to find some alien trash nearby the Slushy Dawg.

Tropes:

  • Amnesia Loop: Dakota and Cavendish keep getting their memories erased by the device and going through the drive-thru again, to the increasing frustration of the cashier.
  • The Law of Conservation of Detail: Zack spends most of the episode trying to come up with a new name for the band. They decide to keep the original name but the others are used in their new song.
  • Mythology Gag: The song used to distract the dancing ponies is "Everything's Better With Perry", from Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension.
  • Orphaned Punchline: The episode opens with Milo explaining "And that's why I wear sweater-vests."
    Melissa: I don't know who you are anymore.
  • Sequel Hook: The aliens who were trying to observe Milo and his bad luck show up in later episodes.
  • Ship Tease: Between Milo and Amanda, again. After the last three times, it becomes clear that, in the end, Amanda really does like Milo.
    Amanda: Well, being a band manager is a lot tougher job than I imagined, but you're worth it. And we are... just getting started.
  • Shout-Out: In Cavendish's ketchup warning to himself, the D in the word "DRIVE" is the iconic Walt Disney "D".
  • Smooch of Victory: Amanda decides to kiss Milo on the cheek after the concert she got his band went successfully well. After realizing what just happened, Milo blushes.
  • The Voice: Jeremy Johnson from Phineas and Ferb plays a major, voice-only role in Cavendish and Dakota's subplot. Funnily enough, this mirrors Jeremy's originally intended role as The Ghost before he became an actual character in Phineas and Ferb.
  • What Did I Do Last Night?: It turns out the alien device causes erratic behavior and memory loss in people exposed to it.
