Ice Moon Enceladus
"Superior in every way, to every other moon I say. I'll take Enceladus!"
- Written by: Craig Bartlett
Sean and co. have set up a snow-cone stand to raise money to send a rocket to Mars. Suddenly, they run out of ice. To solve this dilemma, they turn to one of Saturn's moons, Enceladus, which is filled with volcanoes that shoot out ice.
- Chirping Crickets: The kids make their own sno-cone stand so they can raise money to send astronauts to Mars. Sean insists that since it's so hot out, they should be able to sell a ton of them, but then crickets start chirping since no one is there.
- Continuity Nod: Mindy hula-hoops to distract the angry customers, and dubs it a Saturn ring dance. In a prior episode, "What's Up With Saturn's Rings?", the kids hula hoop with multiple hoops to reference how Saturn has a lot of rings.
- Drawing Straws: The kids decide to draw straws to see who gets to collect the ice shooting out of Enceladus. Whoever picks the shortest straw has to go. Sean is hesitant because he always picks the short straw. However, Sunspot picks the short straw this time around and collects the ice to save Sean's behind.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: Jet offhandedly mentions that the sno-cones are even colder than the ice-popcakes of the frozen star system of Marzipan, implying that there are more alien species out there besides the Bortronians. However, this is never mentioned again.
- Precocious Crush: Building on from "Visit to Mom's Office", Jet excitedly greets Dr. Rafferty when she passes by Sean's sno-cone stand, but she ignores him.
- Riddle for the Ages: What exactly is the frozen star system of Marzipan like?
- Ship Tease: When Jet tells Sean that the best ice doesn't come from the supermarket, he puts his arm around him and his hand on his chest.
- This Is Gonna Suck: When the kids run out of ice, Jet mentions that instead of going to the supermarket, they could go somewhere else to get special, unique, out-of-this-world ice. Sean says that he thinks he knows where this is going.
- We Need a Distraction: The kids run out of ice for their sno-cone stand, so they decide to fly to Enceladus to get more. However, the Propulsions need to keep secret that they are aliens, so in order to distract the angry customers, Mindy sings a reprise of "My Name Is Mindy" while hula-hooping to distract them from seeing the Propulsion van turn into a flying saucer.
What Goes Up...
...must come down
- Written by: Craig Bartlett
Jet is building his own mini-saucer, but has trouble getting it off the ground. Several amusing failures teach Team Propulsion about gravity. Meanwhile, Mindy blabs to Mitchell that Jet is building a saucer, which sparks his quest to expose his alien identity.
- Acrofatic: Sean can run at the same speed as super-athletic Jet when chasing after Sydney in the flying saucer.
- Binocular Shot: Utilized when Mitchell is spying outside Jet's garage.
- Chase Scene: The latter half of the episode focuses on Sydney piloting Jet's mini-saucer and Jet and Sean chasing after her.
- Distant Reaction Shot: At the end of the episode, Mitchell screams at the sky, and his scream is so loud, that the camera zooms out on the Earth.
- Don't Sneak Up on Me Like That!: In the episode, Mindy sneaks up on Mitchell as he is spying on Jet. He gets very startled. No violence is involved since this show is for young children.Mitchell: ...Mindy?!? Don't sneak up on me like that!
- Faint in Shock: Mitchell faints at the very sight of his Love Interest Mindy when she sneaks up on him a second time.
- Foreshadowing:
- Even though she sorta drove like crazy, Sydney did a relatively decent job piloting the mini saucer without Jet's help, and had a lot of fun in the process. This foreshadows Sydney becoming the official co-pilot of the family saucer in Season 2.
- Mitchell spies on Jet instead of just simply asking him about his invention, foreshadowing Mitchell's anxiety of lack of social skills when it comes to making friends.
- He Went That Way: Mitchell tries to chase after Jet's flying saucer. Mindy tells him that the flying saucer went to the right. Mitchell assumes if Mindy says he's going to the right, then he must be going to the left. Of course, Jet didn't actually go left.
- Hypocrite: Mindy points out that Mitchell's dislike of being snuck up on is hypocritical because he's a detective, so he should know all about sneaking up on people.
- I Work Alone: Mitchell rejects help from Mindy on his stakeout since he thinks that detectives are supposed to figure stuff out for themselves.
- Mass "Oh, Crap!": Everyone freaks out when Mindy informs them that Mitchell is in fact spying on them.
- Pun: "Has gravity got you down?" "Yeah, it's a drag!" (badumtsh)
- Rimshot: Done by Sunspot when Jet and Face 9000 make puns relating to gravity.
- Say My Name: Mitchell screams Jet's name at the end of the episode.
- Ship Tease:
- Mindy and Mitchell have some in the episode. Mindy continually sneaks up on Mitchell, and the second time she does so, he faints.
- Jet gets really up close to Sean at one point.
- Skyward Scream: Mitchell screams Jet's full name at the end of the episode, after proclaiming that he will figure out Jet's alien identity one day.
- The Stakeout: Mitchell goes on a stakeout with his dog Cody to spy on Jet's garage and see what he's building in there.
- Stalker with a Crush: The tables turn as Mindy becomes this to Mitchell in the episode, repeatedly sneaking up on him.
- Stating the Simple Solution: Mindy says that Mitchell should just ask Jet what he's building instead of spying on him, but Mitchell still thinks it's a good idea to spy on Jet because "that's what detectives do".
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Mindy tells Mitchell next door that Jet is building a flying saucer. This causes him to get suspicious and begin his Series Goal to learn the truth.
- Wham Episode: Mitchell goes from a pointless side character to a downright threat to Jet's alien identity, by proclaiming that he will uncover Jet's alien identity at the end of the episode, thus beginning his Series Goal to expose Jet as an alien.
