The kids are unable to play Shadow Tag on Earth, so Celery takes them to Proxima B, an exoplanet that has not one, but three suns. Meanwhile, Face 9000 takes up comedy.


  • Binary Suns: The educational topic of the episode is how Proxima B has three suns.
  • Cannot Tell a Joke: Face 9000 tries to take up comedy, but fails due to not being funny.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Face was jealous that the kids found Sunspot to be funnier than him.
  • Imagine Spot: Sean, Sydney, and Jet all have imagine spots about what it would be like to live on a planet with 3 moons. Sean imagines never being able to sleep, Sydney imagines having too many birthdays, and Jet imagines playing shadow tag and then being unable to find anyone.
  • Impossible Shadow Puppets: The kids learn how to make some very hard shadow puppets towards the end of the episode.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Celery is clearly this, as she didn't let Sean go to the bathroom, in the name of learning.
  • Insistent Terminology: Face 9000 demands that the kids call him "Funny Face".
  • "Knock Knock" Joke: Face 9000 tries to tell one, but fails.
  • Rule of Three: The kids have three daymares as to what it would be like to live on a planet with 3 suns.
  • Running Gag: Face trying to be funny.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The episode title is a reference to the Futurama episode of the same name, or My Three Sons.
    • When Jet says "Sun, sun, sun, here we come!", it's a reference a lyric in the The Beatles song "Here Comes The Sun". Though it should be noted that the actual lyric was "Sun, sun, sun, here it comes!"
  • Void Between the Worlds: During Jet's Imagine Spot, he eventually ends up in a black void, unable to find anyone.

Sean becomes a magician called The Great Seanzo, and pulls off amazing tricks using magnets. The kids explore what magnets can do, resulting in a magic show for Carrot.


  • Continuity Nod: Mitchell's scooter from "Try and Try Again" makes another appearance.
  • Dogs Hate Squirrels: At the end of the episode, Cody barks at Floyd the Squirrel and chases after him.
  • Good Luck Charm: This episode reveals that Mitchell wears a lucky magnet under his jacket.
  • Hidden Depths: It is revealed that Sean is a great magician.
  • Magic Wand: Sean wields one when performing his tricks.
  • Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat: A variant; Sean attempts to pull Sunspot out of a box as part of his magic show.
  • Rhetorical Request Blunder: Carrot can't believe what he's seeing, and asks to be pinched. Of course, Sunspot pinches him, but Carrot didn't mean that literally.
  • Shout-Out: The title of this episode is a reference to Magnum, P.I..
  • Stage Magician: The episode reveals that Sean is an amateur magician called The Great Seanzo. Later, the kids put on a magic show for Carrot using magnets.
  • Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: We never find out what Mitchell's "top-secret" detective case was. When he appears again at the end of the episode, he only wonders why Sunspot appears to be tap-dancing on the ceiling, and is then dragged away by Cody.
  • What Have We Ear?: Sean pulls a magnet out of Sunspot's ear, and also Mindy's.
