"Steam Bath Ch'oondaii": Layla's big pilot exam is right around the corner, but she's too sick to fly. Molly turns to a traditional remedy to help her mother get better in time - a steam bath. Can she and Oscar build one in time?

"Steam Bath Ch'oondaii" contains the following tropes:

  • "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Molly and Oscar make building a sauna a lot more complicated than it needs to be because they don't stick around and listen to Midge's instructions on how to build it.
  • Sick Episode: Layla's down with a bad cold.
  • Sickness Equals Redness: Layla's nose is red, and she has red, puffy bags under her eyes because she has a cold.
  • Vampires Hate Garlic: Referenced when Layla jokes about how the wreath of garlic that Mr. Patak gave her will help keep her safe from vampires.

"In the Dark of Day": When Oscar thinks he's seen a snow monster, he's too scared to walk home from school. Molly and Trini offer to help. Now they're scared too! Inspired by a story from Auntie Midge, the three kids band together to face the monster.

"In the Dark of Day" contains the following tropes:

  • An Aesop: Fears are easier to face when you have your pack with you.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Molly and Trini suggest Oscar ask his parents if he can skip a month of school until it's light out again when school gets out. Oscar's mother is the teacher. Of course she said no.
  • Primal Fear: Oscar admits he's afraid of walking home in the dark during the winter.
