Milo must complete the task of growing a plant for Summer Science Day Camp. However, Milo and Lizbeth must clean up the drawings on the wall by Kirsten.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Almost Kiss: Kirsten almost kisses Milo just before they get "arrested" from the SWAT team, which Milo escapes before she can do it. Milo then almost (reluctantly) kisses her back shortly after returning her back home, but Lizbeth drags him away in time.
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • To get rid of Kirsten's drawings on the wall before her parents find out, Milo uses a wax remover to spray on the wall to remove it. Unfortunately, Lizbeth finds out that he used wall remover on her wall instead of wax remover despite having almost the same exact labels, causing her house to completely collapse.
    • To repair Kirsten's house, Milo uses a reno-bot since the robot can build exactly according to your plan so he creates a blueprint to repair her house. Although the robot indeed rebuilt her house exactly from the blueprint, there was a giant bug covering her front door. This is because a bug was sitting in the blueprint just before the robot scanned it thinking that it was part of the plan, which then concerns a suspicious neighbor across the street that a giant bug is attacking her house and calls a SWAT Team to get rid of it.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" to just roll with it as they're not after him. However, he misheard her as he installs wheels to the giant bug to make a getaway bug to escape from the SWAT team. Eventually after Milo and Kirsten lands on a bush, the SWAT team arrests the "bug" after "attacking a house" and "kidnapping children". Milo sends Kirsten back home shortly after but doesn't have a plant for Summer Science Day Camp due to the same bug from earlier eating his entire plant in the beginning of the episode for Summer Science Day Camp, so Kirsten decided to give her healthy plant to him for said camp.
  • SWAT Team: A suspicious neighbor across the street calls a SWAT team with fly swatters to get rid of the giant bug on Kirsten's front door (even though the bug wasn't actually real) as he thinks that the bug is attacking her house.

Milo and Lizbeth must remind Meghan that it is daytime and Owen has to go to World O'Fun Fun-nasium for kid night.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Brick Joke: Milo uses the microwave to heat up his pasta dinner and throws it to the ceiling wall as he learned a trick from a cooking show that once the pasta is done, it will stick to the ceiling. However, he didn't get to see the end of the show so he doesn't know how to get it down. It eventually falls down on him in the end of the episode after serving his hot dogs to his parents shortly after his mother mentioned to save the pasta for lunch tomorrow.
  • Conversation Cut: After Meghan suggested to celebrate at the Fun-nasium after she practiced her driving test, Owen tells her that he wants to go home and go to bed early instead as he had enough fun today. Meghan says she's fine with that but tells Owen that they were giving away free all-you-can-eat hotdogs there, where the scene was then cut to Milo giving the hot dogs to his parents mid-sentence.
    Meghan: We should celebrate. I know! How about the Fun-nasium? Don't tell your mother. She's such a control freak.
    Owen: Actually, can I go home and go to bed? I've had enough fun for today.
    Meghan: Sure. But first, I hear they're giving away all-you-can-eat free...
    [scene cuts to Milo giving away the hot dogs to his parents]
    Milo: Hot dogs! Come and get em!
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • Due to Meghan's strict rules, she orders Owen to go to bed early at 6:30 despite still being daytime. Milo suggests to Owen to do it anyways so he can give him a comic book light under his bed as he can stay up as late as he wants and can read his comics from Meghan. The catch is that his mother doesn't allow him to read comics and doesn't let him do anything dangerous, causing this plan to backfire.
    • Milo then uses an unmovable clock to trick Meghan so Owen can do whatever he likes to do as when Meghan looks at the time, it won't move. However, it backfired as Milo set it on the time when Owen has to eat dinner, causing Meghan to force him to eat multiple dinners every time she looks at the unmovable clock even if he already have a big lunch. Since Meghan needs to study for her driver's test, she forced Owen to sleep early anyways.
    • Since Meghan sets up an alarm for the floor which if someone touches it, the alarm will go off, Milo eventually avoided the laser-covered floor by jumping in obstacles to Owen's bed so he can try out his plan for Owen to escape from his room. He uses his extendo-grabber so he reach it to Owen's door to open it and then uses his tightrope to connect to a wall so they can escape. However when Milo walks on the tightrope to escape, he lost control of it, causing him to touch the floor, which led to the alarm going off which as a result, Owen gets catapulted by his bed off his room and lands in a golf course at the Fun-nasium.
  • Driving Test: Meghan needs to study in order to take her driver's license test tomorrow. Milo decides to drag her to drive a golf cart later in the episode as his "Bird Brain" suggested to test her abilities.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" to test Meghan's abilities to drive, he drags her to Fun-nasium to teach her how to drive a golf cart there in order to get her license, which one of the rules includes to stop and pick up the pedestrian (Owen) from the out-of-control golf balls at the golf course. This impressed Meghan since all she has to do is practice so she decides to celebrate at Fun-nasium. However, due to having enough fun today, Owen decides to pass on that and wants to go home to bed early.
  • Spaghetti Kiss: Parodied during the Narrator's So Once Again, the Day Is Saved moment, where Milo and Lizbeth almost pull off the kiss before a fast golf cart driven by Meghan pass by, causing Lizbeth to suck up the rest of the strand of spaghetti in her mouth.
