Airdate: March 18th, 2023

The Five Pigeons of The Acapellapocolypse: After finding a pigeon figure at a yard sale, Kiff finds out that there are four more figures to complete the set. After she and Barry collect all five, though, they end up coming to life as "The Five Pigeons of the Acapellapocalypse" and cause havoc around Table Town.

Leave A Little Juice: After Barry had finished all of Martin's OJ, which is the latter's favorite drink, Beryl asks Kiff to tell Barry not to do that anymore. However, Kiff cannot bring herself to do that, not wanting to hurt Barry's feelings, so she avoids saying anything about it.

The Five Pigeons of The Acapellapocolypse contains examples of:

  • Affably Evil: Despite causing chaos and destruction, The Five Pigeons are very friendly such as happily thanking Kiff and Barry for freeing them.
  • Comically Small Bribe: After warning of the dire consequences of re-releasing the Pigeons, Helen agrees to do it for a single piece of candy.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones: The Pigeons are visibly upset at being separated.
  • Take a Third Option: Rather than seal the Five Pigeons or let them run rampant, Kiff has the idea to give them a new home far away from civilization where Roy puts them on Television to entertain everyone.

Leave A Little Juice contains examples of:

  • "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Literally most of this could've been avoided if Kiff had just told Barry to not drink the Orange Juice. Instead it escalates a lot to the point they waste a whole carton of OJ. Had Kiff done so, like her mother did, she could've saved time and effort on all of this.
  • Honor Before Reason: A case of this, as the neighbor The Pone who Barry gave orange juice to comes back with a carton of Orange Juice...only for Martin to close the door on him. The family(And Barry) give him a look and he states he doesn't like that guy.
  • I Didn't Tell You Because You'd Be Unhappy: Kiff chickens out on telling Barry to stop drinking so much orange juice for the whole episode because she’s afraid of hurting his feelings.
  • Oh, Crap!: Kiff has one of those face when she drinks the second-to-last cup of Orange Juice.
  • Rule of Symbolism: When Kiff is afraid of hurting Barry’s feelings by telling him to stop drinking their orange juice, she sees him as a small, delicate flower. After Beryl tells Barry the truth in her place and he turns out to be perfectly fine with this request, Kiff changes her view of him to that of a tall, mighty tree.
  • The Klutz: Played with. While Barry isn't normally careful, in this episode he's incredibly klutzy to the point he wastes an entire jug of OJ through various means; such as dropping a few glasses, pouring two glasses out because they're overfilled, forgetting the cup when he pours the last of the OJ out.
