Kyle has trouble studying for his test to be readmitted to Milkweed, so he uses a spell to cheat; but it causes him to become a baby and Fanboy and Chum Chum have to get him to fall asleep for the spell to work.
Tropes:
- Baby Talk: Subverted. After Kyle falls asleep and returns to normal age, he begins talking strangely, assuming the spell backfired and he's talking like a baby. But then the boys notice something familiar about those words: he is saying test answers in code, revealing the crib notes are verbal.
- Bittersweet Ending: Kyle ends up failing anyway because of not using a No. 2 wand.
- Bottle Episode: Taking place entirely at Kyle's house.
- Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: The three books Kyle had to study from are named, in order, "Introduction to Spells and Charms", "Wandwork 101", and "Getting Familiar With Familiars".

- When Fanboy and Chum Chum are trying to help Kyle sleep, Chum Chum uses the phrase "take the cloud ferry to Sleepytime Island." Presumably, he learned this terminology back when he and Fanboy wound up in Ms. Olive's kindergarten.

- Foreshadowing: After Flan leaves and Kyle panics what to do, Fanboy and Chum Chum suggest he'd fail so he'll stay with them, before coming up with the idea to cheat. At the end of the episode, he passes, but his answers are immediately voided due to not using a No. 2 wand.
