Milo and Dishrag are at war! Actually, it started out as an accident but grew from there! Mom’s decided she's had enough of this nonsense and told Milo that he and Dishrag are to spend the whole day together! So now they're stuck together from sun-up to— Uh-oh! A kid in trouble! Actually, it's Tabitha and Sanjay, who simply aren't getting along. They're practicing for a three-legged race and just can't seem to get coordinated - and each blames the other. Will Milo be able to get them to see eye to eye and leg to leg? Or will his feud with Dishrag simply fuel Tabitha and Sanjay's trouble?


Tropes in this episode:

  • All Cloth Unravels: Even after Wendell loses the picnic games, he still has his trendy sportswear. However, Dishrag unravels a piece of string that she saw on his pants, causing his entire pants to rip off, revealing his white boxer shorts with red polka dots.
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • To make Sanjay and Tabitha get along during the picnic games, Milo gives them a book about the guide to three-legged racing for them to read which he then uses his magnet system to put on their legs as once they get used to it, they'll be able to do it all on their own. Although the plan originally worked, they accidentally stepped on Dishrag, scaring her and landed on Milo, causing him to mess with the controls for the magnet system, which malfunctions, causing them to still have conflict to each other.
    • Milo then uses a robotic mouse to distract Dishrag so he can give Tabitha and Sanjay some motivation by showing them some fancy calculators and color coordinated report covers, causing them to run for it as they do want to have them. However, Dishrag throws the mouse into Tabitha, which lands on her hair, causing them to still have conflict. This led them to give up practicing for the race just when Wendell is about to compete for the three-legged race so he can win more medals for him and they will lose. He decides to take Dishrag as well.
    • During the egg race, Milo tries loosening up Tabitha's shoulders but the shoulder he was trying to loosen up turns out to be her dislocated shoulder after raising her hand all the time too much, so as a result, her spoon carrying hand gets more dislocated to a crunching noise, causing her to use her mouth to hold the egg in a spoon in the race. But due to Wendell using an aerodynamically designed spoon so his egg won't break, he ends up winning the egg race.
    • During the sack race, Milo has Sanjay drink a lot of an energy drink from a container to have enough energy to beat Wendell in the race first. Unfortunately, Wendell used a high performance sack to go even faster, causing him to win the sack race as well.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" to realize that it's too bad that they're stuck with Sanjay and Tabitha. However, he mishears Lizbeth as he was thinking on using super glue on them so they can be stuck together and have to compete. Just before he was about to use it, an air horn noise scares Dishrag and accidentally spills glue on his leg, causing Dishrag to get stuck on his boots and runs very fast during the three-legged race. Eventually, Milo beats Wendell and wins the three-legged race and the picnic games. Tabitha then realizes that their stride was somehow both loose and precise just like what it says on both of their books, which led to her and Sanjay ending the conflict and decided to be partners again next year.
  • Feud Episode: Tabitha and Sanjay has to practice for the three-legged race at the Halverston and Area international old picnic games, but they are not getting along well which the town is gonna lose if they don't reconcile.
  • Robot Me: Just before the three-legged race was about to start, Wendell uses a robot version of himself to be his partner to race even faster than the rest of the racers in order to win the picnic games and his medals. Milo was concerned that his partner wasn't even a human and Rutger finds out in the rulebook that there is no rule about the partner has to be human.
  • Sickening "Crunch!": Milo tries loosening up Tabitha's shoulders to do the egg race. However, the shoulder he was trying to loosen up turns out to be her dislocated shoulder after raising her hand too much, causing that hand to gets more dislocated to a crunching noise. Fortunately, Milo was able to pop it back into place just when the race started and uses her mouth to carry the egg in a spoon.
  • Sticky Situation: After an air horn noise scares Dishrag, Milo accidentally spills a little bit of super glue into his boot and Dishrag's foot lands into one of his glue-covered boots, causing him and Dishrag to get stuck together during the three-legged race. However, they actually beat Wendell on winning the race, though.

It's the Lemming Scout Jamboree but Milo hasn't finished any of his projects or packed, and he's late for the bus! Wendell bets Milo doesn't even make it to the Jamboree much less win any competitions. Milo takes the bet. Unfortunately, the crossing guard is their bus driver and naturally, he has rules about this bus trip. If the kids break three of his rules, he'll turn the bus around and come right home which means Milo would never make it to the Jamboree. Can the Captain keep the kids from breaking the rules under Wendell's watchful glare?


Tropes in this episode:

  • Bait-and-Switch: After Milo causes the baking soda to expand with vinegar to get rid of the onion odor, the bus driver started to smell something and asks Wendell if somebody released a powerful solution of vinegar and baking soda in his bus, which could lead to the final rule-breaking strike to turn the bus over, but it turns out that he was just adjusting his rear-view window and thinks that someone was cleaning the bus and then remembers the "no talking to the driver" rule, so he turns on the fan to get rid of the smell, blowing the substance away from the bus.
    Bus Driver: I smell something, Scout Wendell, has someone released a powerful solution of vinegar and baking soda in my bus?
    [he adjusts his rear-view window]
    Bus Driver: Ha! What a scout. Not only is he cleaning my bus, but he remembered the rule: no talking to the driver! Now, let's just turn on a fan to get rid of that smell.
    [he turns on his fan, blowing the expanded substance out of the bus]
    Milo: Phew, that was close.
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • To stop rule-breaking during the bus trip as they only have more strike (due to already breaking two of the bus driver's rules: no collective groaning and no armpit farting) before the driver turns the bus over, Milo slingshots a smelly onion to take care of any jokers in the bus. Once it splits in half, most of the kids in the bus starts smelling the fumes from the onion, causing Sanjay to start crying and the rest to start feeling nauseous, so he slingshots a box of baking soda to observe the odor. However, he didn't have enough baking soda, so he slingshots a bottle of vinegar to make the baking soda expand, causing it to blow up like a volcano. Eventually after the bus driver turns on the fan to get rid of the smell, it causes the expanded substance to blow away.
    • Avi was meant to just polish his woggle, but once the bus bumps into a rock, it causes his woggle to fly out of the window, losing it which could lead to the last rule-breaking strike as losing a woggle is one of the driver's strict rules that they should not break. So Milo decides to trick the driver by using his microphone to sing a jingle on the radio that a Crossing Guard museum is on Exit 3, which was the next exit to take. This makes him reluctant to go as he must forego prideful pleasures, but after seeing Wendell's Puppy-Dog Eyes that he wants to go, he decided to take the exit anyway to go to that "museum". Once the bus stopped, Milo uses his super magnet to retrieve Avi's woggle back from far away, which actually worked. However, after the bus driver as well as the rest of the Lemming Scouts returned back to the bus as there was no museum but rather just a porta potty in the woods, which Avi would've went due to having a Potty Emergency, he uses the bus bathroom instead, accidentally losing his woggle again after clogging the toilet with it.
    • To retrieve the woggle back from the clogged toilet before it overflows, Milo uses his extendo-grabber to get it back. Although the extendo-grabber lets go of it after retrieving the woggle, it eventually lands on Avi's finger but he accidentally throws it to the driver's hat, which once he finds out that someone has a missing woggle, he will turn the bus over.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" to not tell Wendell that Avi lost his woggle and it's on the crossing guard's head. When Wendell tries to tell the driver that someone lost their woggle, he actually breaks the "no talking to the driver" rule which if Wendell is the perfect Lemming Scout that broke the rules, then anyone can break the rules in the bus meaning that they all need discipline at the Jamboree. When he scratches his head, it causes the woggle to drop which Avi retrieves it safely. Once they arrived to the Jamboree, Wendell accidentally loses his woggle although he was meant to just adjust it for the award ceremony, causing the crossing guard to force him to find his woggle.
  • Here We Go Again!: Although the Lemming Scouts were able to arrive to the Jamboree just fine, Avi accidentally drops his woggle into the toilet again, causing Milo to try to retrieve his woggle back again, this time with a plunger.
    Avi: Captain! I lost my woggle again!
  • Oh, Crap!: Milo and Lizbeth finds out that the crossing guard is actually the bus driver for the Jamboree, and he has strict rules which if any of the kids break three of his rules during the bus trip, he will turn the bus around back right home, which worries them. The rules include but not limited to: no burping, no armpit farts or raspberries, no collective groans, no puking, no talking to the driver, no funny business and especially no lost woggles. Unfortunately due to always making disasters happen, Avi loses his woggle multiple times in the episode causing Milo and Lizbeth to retrieve it back before the driver finds out.
  • Onion Tears: After Milo slingshots an smelly onion to take care of any jokers in the bus in order to stop breaking the bus driver's strict rules, although the rest of the kids start feeling nauseous after smelling the fumes from it, it causes Sanjay to start crying shortly after sniffing it.
