Title: Baking Bran (PART 1)
Release date: August 5, 2016
- Alliterative Title: Baking Bran.
- Captain Ersatz: Detective Snap and Dumbleflor are obvious parodies of Severus Snape and Albus Dumbledore.
- Homage: To Breaking Bad.
- Moving Angst: Inverted. This episode reveals that Clair leaving for the Rowling University of Magic meant she had to break up with Michael, leaving him too depressed to go to her farewell party or answer Chris and Ian's texts.
- Once for Yes, Twice for No: Michael can't talk in his food coma, so he's given a bell to respond to questions. He rings the bell once for "yes" and twice for "no".
- Shout-Out:
- The video game that Zach plays is similar to Super Smash Bros..
- Rick and Morty (or at least characters resembling them) can be seen walking past Squidtugo's Tight Treats.
- This Is Unforgivable!: Michael stops believing Chris and Ian are his friends after they give him muffins that unknowingly put him in a food coma.
- Totally Radical:
- The business card for Merlin's Muffins says "They may be blue, but they're the bomb, yo!"
- The name of Squidtugo's bakery is Squidtugo's Tight Treats.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Detective Snap calls out Chris and Ian for giving their friend Michael a basket of muffins that put him in a food coma after he went through a breakup instead of comforting him by hanging out with him like good friends would.
