Airdate: February 28th, 2023 note 

"Bake it Til' You Make It": Louisa hatches a plan to trade mud pies for stickers, but Zeke can't remember his perfect mud pie recipe.


"Bake it Til' You Make It" contains the following tropes:

  • Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?:
    Louisa: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
    Zeke: We play Sticker Monster?
  • Binocular Shot: Zeke does this while looking for the perfect dirt for his mud pie.
  • Pun: Kat commends the mud pies for being "dirt cheap."
  • Rule of Three: According to Louisa, in order for a mud pie to be perfect, it must be round like a wheel, it must not fall apart into tiny pieces, and it must stick together.
  • Running Gag: Kat and Kit making a giant stack of flowerpots.
  • Water Hose Rodeo: Kat rides on a hose like this while Zeke and Louisa try to gather up water for their mud pie.
  • Weird Currency: Zeke and Louisa sell their mudpies for six stickers so they can play "sticker monster" together.

"Zoom in Zadie": Mr. E yearns to paint a square, but Quique's lessons aren't helping. Can Zadie's photos bring students to the class to inspire Mr. E?

"Zoom in Zadie" contains the following tropes:

  • Chekhov's Gun: Zeke mentions that Super helped him learn to draw a square when he was having trouble learning. Later, Super and Malik attend the class and Super help Mr. E make a perfect square.
  • Comically Missing the Point: First, Junjun and Louisa interpret Zadie's photo as an advertisement for a face-painting class. Then, Duffy, Leiko, and Amado think that Zadie's next photo is meant to advertise a jack-in-the-box class.
  • Instantly Proven Wrong: Mr. E thinks that no one will show up to help him. Cue Super and Malik arriving to help him.
  • Manchild: Mr. E is a grown adult who doesn't know how to paint a square. Also, he throws a child-like tantrum when he is unable to make a perfect one the first few times he attempts to draw one, complete with Tantrum Throwing and Inelegant Blubbering.
  • Note to Self: Quique makes mental notes to start face-painting and jack-in-the-box classes.
  • Squish the Cheeks: Zeke does this to Snout while Zadie takes their picture.
  • Terrible Artist: Everyone in Mr. E's family has been known to draw a perfect square. Ever since childhood, Mr. E struggled with drawing the simplest of shapes.
  • Understatement: Quique says that Mr. E is struggling just a little bit painting squares. He says this while Mr. E is throwing tantrums.
  • The Unsmile: Mr. E's attempts to smile for the camera make it look like he's in pain.
  • You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Duffy's reaction when she finds out that Mr. E is in a square-painting class.
