Milo is forced to share his room with his baby brother, Thor. It's a disaster waiting to happen! Just as he's about to start a protest campaign…it's a kid! In trouble! Kirsten's in a jam! She so looooooves horsies that she's smuggled her pony, Agnes, home from 'Pony Club' and now she needs the Captain's help to hide the pony from her parents. Will he have to hide Agnes in his room and blame the resulting mess on Thor? This is a true horse's tale...


Tropes in this episode:

  • Bait-and-Switch: When Milo and Lizbeth gets lost after taking the wrong direction in order return Kirsten's pony to the farm (as a result of Thor drawing over his map), they pass through a rainforest and a desert. Turns out that the rainforest and desert that they pass through was just a sprinkler and a sandbox in the neighborhood respectively. When Lizbeth eventually spot a farm so they can arrive there, it was revealed to be just a mural that Kirsten painted.
  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • In order to hide Agnes before Kirsten's parents find out about it, Milo decided to disguise the pony with a Groucho mask but it doesn't look well.
    • Milo then uses his extendo-grabber in order to sit up on top of the pony but it malfunctions just when he was about to use on her.
    • After Thor saw a giant ape outside brought by Kirsten, he throws a banana at Milo's safe, stealing the safe containing Milo's Quantum Vigilante action figure and eventually Thor himself was taken as well.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" to see what he can do. This sparked an idea as he was thinking of the term "monkey see, monkey do" as if he gets Thor to pass him the action figure, then the ape will pass Thor to him. Thor then throws the action figure out of the building which the ape then follows suit with Thor. Milo eventually catches him safely with a parachute but it turns out that the entire thing was just a set for a movie and the ape himself was also a fake. As they saved the picture for including heroism, elephants and brotherly love, the producer decided to make them stars which they earned massive cash from it. Kirsten wants to have a horse farm and a circus, while Lizbeth wants Kirsten to have more therapy so she will stop being weird, and Milo wants Thor to have his own room.
  • "Getting My Own Room" Plot: Milo is forced to share his room with his baby brother Thor as a result of his room being dirty, which displeases him as he could poop, drool and wreck all of his stuff. He was about drool over his Quantum Vigilante action figure which Milo stops him from doing that which Lizbeth then puts it away in a safe until he gets back from helping a kid in trouble.
  • Pepper Sneeze: Milo uses pepper to make Kirsten's elephant sneeze so he can fly up to a tall building to save Thor and his Quantum Vigilante action figure from a giant ape.
  • Suspiciously Specific Denial: Since it's too late to return Agnes back to Kirsten's, Milo has to hide the pony into his room instead. Just when Milo's mother smells something as a result of him bringing a pony inside, he puts a picture frame onto the pony to make her think it's just a crooked picture of a pony, which she straightens. Then when he brings over the pony to his room, Thor wants him to ride it, but when Milo tells him to be quiet, he cries out his mother which causes her to enter his room again. Just when she arrives in his room Milo rides the pony with Thor and rocking it to make it seem like just a pony-themed rocking chair. Then when Kirsten arrives to hide her elephant inside his room, Milo tries to bring it inside but, it's too big to fit through his window. Thor then wants to play with the elephant which then causes the room to shake, concerning Milo's mother. When she arrives back to his room, Milo decided to use his sticker set to make it look like Thor is holding a big elephant butt balloon.
  • Wrong Turn at Albuquerque: Due to Thor drawing over the map to return the pony back to the farm, Milo and Lizbeth (as well as the pony) end up lost in the wrong direction when they pass around the neighborhood. Just when Lizbeth sees the farm which they supposed to arrive at, it was revealed to be just a mural that Kirsten painted, thus they went in a big circle the entire time.

Milo sets out to rectify a huge imbalance of justice for Lizbeth. Seems her family's 'wall-of-fame' has a zillion of her big sister, Winona's awards, but not one from Lizbeth. But first he's called to help Tabitha out…as she’s in serious danger of being given a permanent-hard-to-shake nickname by the "King of Unflattering Nicknames" – Nick Names!


Tropes in this episode:

  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • Tabitha's future is in stake as a result of Nick Names calling her "Crabitha" which she is worried that her nickname will stick for life. She wants to have a nickname to highlight her best qualities, her brilliance, her genius or her modesty. If they can plant these ideas in Nick's head that if she looks like a genius, then that's the nickname he'll come up with, so Milo decides to disguise her as a genius by using a mad genius disguise kit. However, it didn't work as Nick called her "Freakitha" while wearing the disguise. After Milo describes to him about her hair from the disguise, he then calls her "Shrubitha", her lab coat, "Slobitha", the glasses, "Dweebitha", and after she takes off her disguise saying that she's so much better than this, he calls her "Slobitha", causing Tabitha to lose her trust with Milo, which Nick then calls her "Grabitha", "Jabitha" and "Backstabitha" shortly after.
    • Lizbeth then suggests to Milo to make a promotional video to show off Tabitha's good points in order brainwash Nick. Although they successfully filmed the video on tape, once Milo shows the video to Nick, it instead shows footage of Tabitha's baby brother Tucker putting boogers in Tabitha's fork on her plate which led to her eating it. Milo didn't realize that he accidentally switched tapes and just before he decides to get the right tape, Nick decided that he has seen enough which he then calls Tabitha "Snot Kebobitha", which made her so furious that she declares her life being over since that nickname ruined her plans, her dreams and her future.
    • Milo decided to use the Nicknamer Trap which gives you a bad haircut, your ears sticks out, then dresses you in lame clothes in order to trap Nick. When Milo tries distracting Nick that there's something that he needs to see in order to get trapped, Nick accidentally trips over Milo's skateboard which Lizbeth saves him from falling, but it then hits Tabitha causing the trap to do it's thing, and making her look like a freak. Milo suggests to Nick to create a hilarious, impossible-to-shake nickname ever so he decided to not rush this and starts thinking.
  • Eat the Evidence: After Lizbeth shows Nick an embarrassing photo of him playing the recorder when he was little since he was nicknamed "Little Toot" (due to tooting both ends), he decided to stuff the photo into his mouth.
  • "Eureka!" Moment: Milo uses his "Bird Brain" to hand over to Lizbeth in order to solve Tabitha's nickname problem. She then finds out that one of Winona's trophies was marked second place instead of first, as Nick was first who's nicknamed "Little Toot" because when he used to play the recorder, he toot out both ends. After Lizbeth tells Nick about that nickname, he decided to not call Tabitha nasty nicknames again. The last nickname he gave to Tabitha before stopping was a more nicer nickname, "Miss Perfect", which bums out Nick's gang and they decided to leave.
  • Foreshadowing: Lizbeth mentions to Milo that if only Nick has an embarrassing nickname, then he'd know what it's like. This later foreshadows the solution to stop Nick from calling Tabitha embarrassing nicknames where it was later revealed that Winona has one of her trophies marked second place to Nick who's nicknamed "Little Toot", when he toot out both ends when he used to play his recorder.
  • The Nick Namer: The episode is about Nick Names, a kid who makes up nicknames that stick for life. He keeps calling Tabitha bad insulting nicknames which makes her furious.
  • Nose Nuggets: When Milo accidentally shows Nick the wrong tape about Tabitha, it shows footage of her baby brother Tucker putting boogers in Tabitha's fork on her plate which led to her eating it. This lead to Nick calling her "Snot Kebobitha".
  • Trophy Room: Lizbeth's sister Winona has a room full of trophies she won over the years.
