Recap / Milo Murphy's Law S1E25 "Disaster of My Dreams"

Go To

Elliott Deckler, volunteer crossing-guard and self-appointed "safety czar," is given the opportunity of his dreams: getting hired as the Jefferson County Middle School safety inspector. The one condition: he manages to watch the school for a full day without any major problems. Of course, Milo still goes to this school, so...


Tropes:

  • A Day in the Limelight: This episode is focused on Elliot Decker.
  • Airvent Passageway: Elliot watches Milo from a vent at one point, and lampshades how easy it was for him to get in there.
  • All Just a Dream: The start of the episode has Elliot dreaming of winning an award for best safety inspector and going into a song about it.
  • Epic Fail: A flashback reveals that, during the last time Milo walked in front of Principal Milder's office, a submarine crashes in there and a crew member is surprised to learn it's not the North Pole.
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: Elliot goes through all the trouble to keep Milo from doing any damage with Murphy's Law but in the end, Milo, ironically, wasn't responsible for any mishaps and Elliot's own efforts to keep things safe only ended up doing more damage then prevented. Ultimately costing him the job.
  • Summon Backup Dancers: Elliot gets a few to show up out of nowhere during his musical number, though that happens in a dream.
  • Villain Episode: More like "Antagonist Episode," but likewise, this time we see Elliot's attempts to stop Milo from his point of view.
