Change of Heart
Milo hates Valentine’s Day, but when his mom gives him a magical Fuzzy Wuzzy Pal that is guaranteed to make anyone you give it to fall in like with you, his attitude secretly changes. Milo uses the Fuzzy Wuzzy Pal to woe Ruth at the Funasium's Valentine’s Day party. Things become complicated when Kirsten takes the gift thinking it is for her and promptly losses the pal. Milo needs to find that bear and get it into Ruth’s hands before a string of 'love troubles' erupts and forces the Captain to come to the rescue of all the kid hearts in town.
Tropes in this episode:
- Almost Kiss: During the Narrator's So Once Again, the Day Is Saved moment, Lizbeth almost kisses Milo while posing but then starts running away from her.
- Chekhov's Gun: Lizbeth was going to give Milo a Valentines present for him just in case if he needs it at the last second, but he runs off, due to trying to give his Fuzzy Wuzzy Pal to Ruth Ann. Eventually, Milo does open the present later in the episode and was revealed to be invisible dog leash, which is not just perfect for invisible dogs, but also perfect for hateful bears. However, although he did briefly retrieve it back from using the leash, Ruth Ann takes the bear away from him as that was her present, making this plan backfired.
- Didn't Think This Through:
- After Kirsten loses Milo's Fuzzy Wuzzy Pal after taking it from him briefly due to accidentally letting it go for a second (as the bear was tied to a balloon), Milo needs to retrieve it back as the pal's sparkles can instantly make anyone fall in love. Due to Otto and Tabitha eating onions together, causing them to get bad breath, Milo uses his iron lungs in order to retrieve the bear from floating around the Funasium. Although he originally got it back briefly, two paper airplanes thrown from different kids causes the pal's balloon to deflate, and lands on Jennifer, who then starts falling in love with him after retrieving it.
- When Milo bumps into her, the sparkles from the bear then hits a couple more girls, causing all of them to also fall in love with him. He retrieves it again safely while he was running away from the girls who are in love with him, but he accidentally trips on a grape soda bottle, causing him to fall in the grape soda fountain alongside with the pal, causing it to malfunction and becomes hateful.
- After Ruth Ann takes the bear with her after seeing it in the ground, which concerns Milo as the bear is not safe as it make anyone hateful, Milo decided to open Lizbeth's Valentines present as if he needs it at the last second, which was revealed to be an invisible dog leash, which is not just perfect for invisible dogs, but also perfect for hateful bears. Although he did briefly retrieve it back, Ruth Ann takes it away from him as that was her present.
- "Eureka!" Moment: When Ruth Ann retrieves the bear back from Milo, she started getting mad once she find out that her present was hateful and asks who would give such a present like this. Milo uses his "Bird Brain" and mentions that he gave it to her, even though it was actually Lizbeth that gave it to her. Either way, she decided to keep the bear anyways as that was the present she wanted all along as the bear can make anyone who give it start hating each other. Kirsten then returns to ask Milo if he got a present for her and decided to give her the exact same pony toy that she gave to Milo earlier in the episode rather than giving her the bear, which delighted her.
- Hate Plague: After Milo's Fuzzy Wuzzy Pal landed on a grape soda fountain after Milo accidentally trips over a bottle of grape soda, the bear becomes neutralized, causing it to become hateful instead of lovable, as it will make anyone you give it to start hating each other, instead of falling in love with each other. This later caused all of the girls falling in love with Milo to start hating him after the sparkles from the bear hits them.
- Love Potion: Milo's Fuzzy Wuzzy Pal is this as according to the pal's booklet, it's guaranteed to make anyone you give it fall in love with you. Unfortunately, after Kirsten loses the bear after accidentally letting it go for a second (as she took it from Milo briefly), the bear floats around in the Funasium, causing anyone who gives it fall in love.
- Oh, Crap!: Upon realizing that Milo's Fuzzy Wuzzy Pal has been neutralized after landing in a grape soda fountain, causing it to become hateful and does the exact opposite: it will make anyone you give it to becoming hateful with you.
- Valentine's Day Episode: The episode takes place during the Funasium's Valentine’s Day party. It also Milo's least favorite holiday.
Door Stop in the Name of Love
Otto enters himself and Milo into The Junior Mr. Halverston Contest, and Milo's totally game. He and Otto set out to impress their two favorite ladies - Ruth Ann and Tabitha. For Milo, he wants to impress Ruth Ann by showing his muscles in order for her to notice him, while Otto tries to think of another thing to impress Tabitha in the contest as sticking his fist up his nose is pretty much the impressive thing that he knows how to do. However, it proves much more difficult then they first imagined.
Tropes in this episode:
- Didn't Think This Through:
- One thing that Otto could impress Tabitha is by dancing so Milo uses his itching powder to put on Otto, causing him to start itching and start to breakdance. However, dancing isn't really Otto's thing, so the plan backfired.
- Milo tries to lift up a weight in order to gain muscles so he can impress Ruth Ann, but he was having trouble lifting it up all the way, which backfired for him.
- Round 1 of the contest is to show off their talent in the talent show. Although Otto managed to show off his talent by sticking his fist up his nose and making shadow puppets with it, Milo gets distracted by talking to himself to a mirror, causing him to not show his talent as a result of him running out of time, causing Otto and Tyler Josh Tyler (his talent is him smiling) to tie in the first round.
- Round 2 of the contest is to race to pick up one the boxes first in order to win, so Milo decided to use his nitro sneakers in order for him to not lose. Unfortunately, it got out-of-control, causing him to crash on one of the boxes, leading to the other contestants to win first.
- The final round of the contest is lifting a log. Since Otto is more stronger than Milo, he lifts the log successfully, while Tyler got the attention of several girls due to his look, causing them to carry his log for him as well. Milo then decided to use his action jack to lift up the log instead of using his hands. Although he managed to lift it up with the jack, it then breaks, causing the log to fall.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Shortly after the contest ended, the judges are adding up all of the points to see who could be the next Mr. Doorstop. This concerns Milo as if he or Otto wins the contest, they will have to wear the doorstop costume every day for an entire year, leading to him and Otto decided that they don't want to win the contest now. It was revealed that it was a three-way tie between Milo, Otto and Tyler, but the doorstop man only has one doorstop costume so only one could have it if they wanted bad enough, leading to Milo using his "Bird Brain" by finding a way out of this. Lizbeth then points to an exit, which Milo decided to leave the contest by exiting, but he accidentally trips on Otto, causing Tyler to wear the doorstop costume for an entire year. This led to Milo and Otto getting tied as they get bragging rights without having to wear the costume as Tyler got the cute vote while Otto got the strength vote, so Milo doing all of those crazy things lead to them getting a sympathy vote, making that a tie. Tabitha realized that Otto was actually that talented after making shadow puppets from sticking his fist up his nose, asking him to do one for the Apollo moon landing, while Ruth starts noticing Tyler rather than Milo and asks him to get the doorstop head off of him.
- Fake Muscles: Milo uses inflatable biceps for the contest to impress Ruth as gaining real muscles is rather difficult. However, Otto accidentally pops it after squeezing it with his hands.
- Failure Montage: Otto attempts to help Milo gain muscles to impress Ruth while Milo helps Otto to try to impress Tabitha that isn't sticking his fist up his nose. However, all of these attempts went unsuccessfully, including Otto painting a picture (Milo tells Otto to paint a tree, but he painted a thumbs up instead), Milo running through a tire obstacle course (due to Milo accidentally slipping on one of them, causing him to fall) and Otto playing the drums (due to using his hands instead of drumsticks to play, it causes the drums to break).
- Impossible Shadow Puppets: Otto shows off his talent in the contest by making shadow puppets by sticking his fist up his nose.
- Mirror Monologue: Milo talking to himself to a mirror is what led to him losing the first round of the contest due to him running out of time to show his talent.
