4	It’s evening at Foster’s and it’s time for Mac to head home, and Bloo to head downstairs for dinner. But the pair gets hopelessly lost trying to make their way to the bottom floor from the roof (Bloo was showing Mac the corner roof of the latter's apartment)! And down in the dining room, Mr. Herriman has forced all the friends to delay their dining until Bloo arrives. So Wilt, Eduardo and Coco are sent to find their tardy roommate. Somehow Mac and Bloo have to make their way through the kooky house before Mac gets in trouble and Bloo ''starves'' to death. Somehow Wilt, Ed and Coco have to find their buddies before '''THEY''' starve to death. And somehow, Madame Foster and Frankie have to find a way to work around Herriman and his unreasonable rules before '''''THE ENTIRE HOUSE''''' starves to death!!
5	!!This episode provides examples of:
6	* AlienGeometries: Foster's itself as proven in this episode. At one point, Mac even opens a door that leads to an oncoming train, then nonchalantly closes it, with the train never once making contact with the door!
7	* BabyTalk: Frankie does this at one point. "I'm sowwy, Mistuh Hewwiman."
8	* BedsheetLadder: Attempted by Mac and Bloo to get down to the dining hall. Unfortunately, the rope is too short, and Mac and Bloo bounce off the pile of mattresses they dropped and end up right back on the roof.
9	* BigLabyrinthineBuilding: This is the episode that best shows this aspect of the home. Bloo and Mac have trouble navigating their way to the dining hall and are almost driven mad because of it.
10	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Bloo uses Duchess' phone to make a call. However, instead of calling Frankie for directions, he calls the pizza delivery guy for 12 extra extra large pepperoni with extra sauce and extra cheese pizzas for delivery to Foster's. [[JerkassHasAPoint Duchess chides Bloo on his stupidity]] for not planning ahead on how he'll get his pizzas if he doesn't know his way back downstairs.
11	* ExactWords: When Mac and Bloo get lost in the house, they end up asking Duchess if she can help them. She says she can, but when she doesn't lift a finger to, she clarifies that they asked if she ''could'' and she can. They didn't ask if she ''would'' and she won't.
12	-->'''Bloo:''' Why I oughta... and I ''will''!
13	* HereWeGoAgain: At the end of the episode, Wilt, Coco and Eduardo are at the spot where Bloo took Mac at the beginning, and now ask themselves how they are going to find their way back.
14	* HonorBeforeReason: Mr. Herriman refuses to let the other friends eat before Bloo arrives, believing it to be impolite to eat before everyone is present. Luckily for them, Frankie and Madame Foster sneak them some food.
15	* ICanSeeMyHouseFromHere: When the episode begins, Bloo takes Mac to a balcony on the roof where he claims they can see Mac's apartment.
16	* LetsMeetTheMeat: Food-based imaginary friends are shown in this episode, usually imagined by kids in diet camps according to the chicken leg friend we see.
17	* MeatOVision: Exaggerated here as Bloo nearly eats an anthropomorphic chicken leg imaginary friend, thinking he was imagining Mac as a chicken leg.
18	* SanitySlippage: The more lost Mac and Bloo become, the crazier Bloo becomes.
19	* SneakingSnacks: Mr. Herriman won't let anyone eat until Bloo and Mac are seated, and since it's taking them so long to find the dining room, everyone is starving. So, Madame Foster keeps giving the friends food under the table. By the time Mac and Bloo find their way to the dining room, everyone else has had their fill and excuse themselves.
20	* TrapDoor: Duchess has one in her room, which instead of sending Mac and Bloo further down the house, sends them back to the roof of the house. Mac naturally questions the logic of this.
21	* TrappedAtTheDinnerTable: Mr. Herriman won't let anyone eat until Bloo and Mac are seated. As the wait gets longer, Madame Foster sneaks food to the other friends; by the time Mac and Bloo arrive, everyone else is full and excuse themselves.
22	* TrailOfBreadCrumbs: A variant; Bloo decides to leave a trail of laundry from the laundry room to help him and Mac keep track of where they've been. Unfortunately, Wilt, Coco, and Eduardo (who are looking for Mac and Bloo) see the laundry and decide to pick it up. Hilariously, at one point, Coco eats some of the clothing, making it literally bread crumbs in a sense.
23	* WhatTheHellHero: After a hungry Bloo scares Charlie off:
24	-->'''Mac''': What did you do ''that'' for?! We were almost there!
25	-->'''Bloo''': [[FreudianExcuse Ugh, hungy Boo, hungy!]]
26	-->'''Mac''': [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse 'Boo' stupid! You ruined everything!]]
