Owen has left his box of Fudgy Lumps outside, but is unable to get it due to the door being locked. As the other kids try to help him bypass the door, Chef has had back problems and needs MacArthur to help him... which doesn't end well for him.

Tropes:

  • Action Girl: MacArthur. She was willing to slam into three military men, breaking a door in the process!
  • Animals Hate Him: Even as a kid, Owen has been tormented by animals for a long time, especially squirrels. When he sees a squirrel trying to eat the Fudgy Lumps, it teases him.
  • Are You Sure You Can Drive This Thing?: Izzy controls a military drone and has no idea how to drive it, constantly crashing it into daycare property. And she enjoys every second of it!
  • Artistic License – Physics: When the soldiers tell the kids to freeze, they defy physics in order to stay still. This includes Owen and Izzy somehow being able to keep their positions by balancing on one limb, and Harold performs a ninja kick while suspended in mid-air!
  • Freak Out: Owen when he finds that his Fudgy Lumps were gone. It worsens when he finds them outside of a locked door, only for a squirrel (and a snake) to start eating them.
  • Mythology Gag: This isn't the only time where the military broke into a building for purposes relating to Izzy. (While in DramaRama Izzy was responsible for hijacking the drone yet Chef was their intended suspect instead, World Tour involved Izzy being eliminated due to having a brain injury that caused her to gain a complete personality change.) In fact, the soldiers even reuse their designs from the episode.
    • Owen and Izzy's relationship from the canon series is referenced with the Ship Tease at the end.
  • Made of Plasticine: Chef's bones break extremely easily and he is somehow able to survive having his body twisted by MacArthur.
  • Named by the Adaptation: This episode states that Chef's real name is Norbert. However, due to it being a spinoff, it's unknown if the main series' Chef has this name as well.
  • New Job as the Plot Demands: MacArthur is now working as a chiropractor, only she's a bit too rough on him. However, when she meets the soldiers, she confesses that her chiropractor license was fake.
  • Reused Character Design: The soldiers who enter the building have reused designs from the World Tour episode "Jamaica Me Sweat". The only differences are that the thinnest soldier and the small-chinned soldier's skin are more yellow, and the brown-haired soldier has Eyes Always Shut contrasting with his counterpart whose eyes were always open.
  • Secret Test of Character: The whole reason why Owen left his Fudgy Lumps: to see if his friends loved him. It worked with Izzy, though.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: Owen and co. spent the whole episode making all sorts of convoluted schemes just to get his Fudgy Lumps back, only for the box to be completely destroyed. Then it turns out that Owen had a spare box the whole time, and he was only just testing to see if his friends cared about him (which works with Izzy). But then he opens his next box and gets attacked by squirrels.
  • Ship Tease: Owen and Izzy get one, with the latter feeling happy to commit a federal offense just for him and calling the former "hun", which is one step closer to turning out like their canon relationship.
