Story Arcs

Milo Murphy's Law contains several story arcs across its first and second seasons, that connect several episodes in the show's run to each other with a progressing, underlying story. Some of these story arcs span over a small group of episodes, while others are the focal point of a season. It is not uncommon for story arcs to overlap one another.

NOTE: Keep in mind that the story arcs have conjectural names as a way to distinguish the arcs from each other; official names have yet to be given.
