Milo can't wait to eat his super sour lemon candy. But wait he will as he helps Kirsten compete with Wendell for lemonade stand customers.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Body Horror: After Wendell drinks his extra-sour lemonade after putting all of Milo's sour lemon candy into his pitcher, his head gets badly deformed which frightens the customers and went to Kirsten's stand instead.
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • Milo puts roller skates on Kirsten's stand to move her stand to a better location to attract more customers. It didn't really work as Milo decided to roll the stand down the hill, which loses the lemons in the process. Wendell has also heard of Milo's plan to move stands so he decided to move his stand as well.
    • To retrieve the scattered lemons back, Milo then uses a Sucky-Tron 3000 to vacuum the lemons safely. However, after one of the lemons got stuck on the vacuum and Kirsten tries to get the lemons back, the vacuum got out-of-control and started jumping like a rodeo. Luckily, Milo disguises himself as a rodeo to reverse the suction by turning off the vacuum which then ejects the lemons out. Unfortunately, the weight of lemons causes Kirsten's stand to collapse which then causes her to not be rescued anymore (although Milo puts it back together shortly after).
    • At the retirement home, Milo then has Lizbeth and Kirsten to rap a jingle for her flamingo-pink lemonade (via the hearing aids of the seniors) to attract more customers. Although it originally worked, the attracted customers went to Wendell's stand instead.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" and decided to share his super sour lemon candy as seniors like free stuff. He mentions that adding his sour candy to the lemonade will make it more tastier than Wendell's. Wendell decided to share all of the candy and puts it to his lemonade so he can try it. Unfortunately due to being super sour as a result of putting the entire candy into his pitcher, his head badly deforms after drinking it causing his frightened customers to leave to Kirsten's stand instead, getting them back from Wendell.
  • Jingle: The aforementioned rapping jingle for Kirsten's flamingo-pink lemonade.
    What pink drink makes you throw a parade?
    What's tart and terrific and gets Kirsten's paid?
    Kirsten's flamingo-pink lemonade!
    What's better than bingo and completely handmade?
    Kirsten's flamingo-pink lemonade!
    A think pink! A think pink!
  • Jumped at the Call: Milo is reluctant to help Kirsten again, after the last three times where she faked the calls such as claiming that the cat sat on her but wouldn't let her get up or "supposedly" dropping her money to the sewer just to be close to him. She does tell Milo that she does need help for real this time after Wendell's lemonade stand steals all of her customers out of her stand.
  • Lemonade Stand Plot: The episode has Milo and Lizbeth helping Kirsten to get more customers to buy her flamingo-pink lemonade, which has been less than successful thanks to Wendell opening up a lemonade stand of his own on the same street and stealing all her customers.
  • Whoopee Cushion: Milo uses a bag of whoopee cushions to land Kirsten's stand from rolling down a hill safely.

Fifty Ways to Leave Your Liver

Milo has to escape from his mother, who wants him to finish eating his liver for dinner, to save Tabitha, whose brother is making a racket while she's trying to study.


Tropes in this episode:

  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • Milo uses flatulence gas to spray a smelly aroma to stop Tabitha's brother from playing the drums loudly. Unfortunately, after he stops playing briefly and smells chili cheese dog farts from the aroma, he continues playing anyway.
    • Milo tries taking away the drumsticks from Tabitha's brother with a lasso to stop playing. Although it originally worked, Milo accidentally trips over a box of tools, causing Tabitha's brother to continue playing with tools in his hands instead of drumsticks, causing the sound to get even worse.
    • Milo, Lizbeth and Tabitha tries playing even louder music with more noise over his music so he won't be able to keep his beat and play somewhere else. However, it didn't work as he finds a new beat from the more louder music, which weirdly makes the music hypnotic.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: After Lizbeth reads that Danger Drums is in concert today and suggests that Milo tells Tabitha's brother about it so he can stop playing, Milo mishears her that if playing the drums is dangerous, he will quit today. He then disguise himself as a doctor and tricks Tabitha's brother that if he continues playing the drums and not changing his habits, his "liver" will go bad (which is actually Milo's leftover liver he was meant to eat for dinner), which causes him to stop playing.
  • Loud of War: Milo has to stop Tabitha's brother from playing his drums very loudly due to distracting Tabitha badly from studying for her biology project.
  • Mind-Control Music: After Tabitha's brother finds a new beat while Milo, Lizbeth and Tabitha out noise him with louder music, it strangely makes the music hypnotic causing them to not stop playing. Eventually they stopped playing after Milo mentions to Lizbeth to work their way up to major venues on tour, which Tabitha then replies that she can't go and has to finish studying.
    Milo: So. What do you say? We start out in small rooms?
    Lizbeth: Yeah. Then work our way up to major venues.
    Tabitha: Cool. [Beat] WAIT! I can't go on tour! I have to finish my biology project!
  • Picky Eater: Before he could eat his mondo pudding icing cake for dessert, Milo has to eat liver for dinner first, much to his disgust. He tries hiding the liver so he will not eat it but he finds a lot of leftover liver hiding around the house. Eventually after his mother suddenly got a headache due to the racket outside, she lets him eat the dessert instead of his liver since she couldn't finish hers.
