This is better than the best birthday ever!

Milo Murphy

"Party of Peril" is the seventh episode in the first season of Milo Murphy's Law. It first aired on October 26, 2016.[1]

Milo has never had a real birthday party due to his Murphy's Law, but Zack and Melissa decide they want to change that and proceed to throw him the biggest and best surprise party he's ever had along with Milo's family and his classmates helping out.

Plot[]

Upon being invited to Milo's upcoming 13th birthday party and learning that it has for years consisted solely of just Milo, his immediate family, and Melissa, Zack mentions how sad that is and questions why they can't arrange a larger scale party for their best friend. After talking it over with Brigette and Martin Murphy, the pair agree to hold it at a go-kart track for both safety and insurance purposes. They then go about the process of inviting various classmates, with Melissa convincing Amanda to serve as the main party planner. Melissa also convinces Milo to go pick up a package for her father and then deliver it to the party site, while alerting Elliot Decker so that he delays Milo's efforts.

Between the Murphy's and the students, the go-kart track is soon prepared, and the party begins once Milo arrives. While Murphy's Law does come into effect, various precautions are taken to prevent anything from going catastrophically wrong. However, Diogee manages to get into the cake and ice cream, but Milo is not upset, as he has finally had a real birthday party for the first time in years. An accident then causes an explosion of extra cake and ice cream that lands all over the party, to Milo's delight, him even saying it's even better than the best birthday ever. Just then the guests are forced to flee from a sudden duck attack.

Allusions[]

  • The song "Mr. Go" was originally from the band Keep Left, a semi-active wonky rock band that Dan Povenmire collaborates in. A full version can be heard here.
  • The student that expressed a fear of Amanda obviously eventually found the courage to leave his bush as he is later seen waiting for Milo's birthday cake, standing next to Amanda no less.
  • This is the first episode where a character's birthday is celebrated, in this case, Milo, not counting the flashback of Sara's birthday in "The Doctor Zone Files".

  • The original air date for this episode is October 24, one day after Weird Al's own birthday.

Running Gags[]

Errors[]

  • When Milo enters in the go-kart field, the pack behind his bike disappears, to re-appear a few seconds later.
  • In 1 shot Chad is wearing his bungee suit watching the go-kart race.
  • In 2 shots of the Go-kart track in a bird's eye view, the track changes.
  • In 1 shot, Cheryl was seen with the other students watching the explosion in the sky, in the next shot, she is missing when the ice cream and cake fell on the students.
  • The ice cream and cake or the colors are in different positions on 3 shots of the students.
  • Amanda was meant to take over from Melissa's role at the end of the episode as her appearance getting covered in cake and ice cream wouldn't look authentic.
