The Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event

"The Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event" is the thirty-second episode of the second season of Milo Murphy's Law.

The school hosts the Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event, a unique and unusual competition that combines speech and debate with wrestling and other sports and physical activities. When Lydia and Bradley are injured, Melissa recruits Milo and Zack for her team against that of Middletown Middle School.

Plot[]

The episode opens with Chad announcing on the Jefferson G. County School Channel that The Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event is just eight hours away. Milo and Zack walk into the gym to see Melissa finish training with Bradley and Lydia before the latter two suddenly fall through the wrestling ring and end up in the Hospital with broken legs. Melissa begs Zack and Milo to fill in for them and, after some convincing, they accept and she spends time training them. Ms. Murawski, Mr. Drako, and Coach Mitchell act as the announcers and reveal their opponents to be the Middletown Middle School Middlemen.

Melissa wins the first round in a tug of war debate over front lawns but the middlemen cheat in the boy band hopscotch debate by having their mascot, Murray the Middleman distract the ref while Zack's opponent trips him up. However, Murray slips on water spilled from the janitor. As the match goes on, both teams end up in a tie. The final debate is a cage match potato sack jumping race over whether winning or participation awards are better. Milo goes up against Wendy. During the match, Murray trips up the ref and the janitor comes to his rescue. Milo tricks Wendy into forfeiting, winning his team the debate. Coach Mitchell thanks Murray and the janitor, Stan and Bill, for coming when the superintendent comes and Mitchell reveals that the event was not approved.

First episode to show Melissa telling Milo to not be nice and friendly.
Melissa appears to have improved her throwing skills, which were previously shown to be bad in "Athledecamathalon" and "The Race", when she throws a "Con" sphere at Milo, or she can't throw sports balls but can throw fun balls.
