“ | So over the weekend you will be building a container inside of which you will put an egg. Your grade will be based off only one criteria: When dropped from the roof of the school, will the egg break? | ” |
"Sunny Side Up" is the fourth episode in the first season of Milo Murphy's Law. It first aired on October 3, 2016.[2]
Ms. Murawski tasks the class with an egg-dropping assignment: Milo, Zack and Melissa have to work together to make a carrier sturdy enough to protect the egg with as little damage as possible when dropped off the roof of the school.
Plot[]
In Ms. Murawski's class, the students receive an assignment to construct a device that will protect an egg from as much damage as possible after it is dropped from the top of the school gym. Milo, Melissa, and Zack end up working together and after purchasing a sizable number of eggs in anticipation of Milo-related catastrophes, begin testing prototypes in Milo's backyard. Milo and Zack make lame egg puns which Melissa tells them not to do. After destroying thousands of eggs and dozens of devices, they finally produce a successful device that they dub Big Bertha. Left with only one apparent surviving egg, Melissa takes charge of it while Zack takes Big Bertha home to keep it safe for the night. They both dream of disasters but then they wake up to find that nothing is amiss, while Milo has a dream of waking up to find his room intact only to wake up and find that a tree has crashed through the window in the night, which is true to form.
After arriving at school, the following day, the three are horrified when what they believe is their last egg gets smashed, thanks to Milo dangling on the skeleton and chaos strikes. Fortunately, Milo makes up for it by discovering the egg he had placed in his pocket yesterday which remained intact. After watching the other groups in the class test their devices, with the majority of them failing miserably with the exception of Bradley's team, Milo and Zack deploy Big Bertha. Upon landing, the construct is sent flying by a delivery truck and then goes on a series of misadventures as the boys watch helplessly, before finally coming back and crashing into the delivery truck, which is full of eggs, with explosive force. Miraculously, the egg survives intact despite Big Bertha's demise, and Milo's group is given the top grade, though Diogee promptly consumes the lone surviving egg. Milo makes a lame egg pun which Melissa reprimands him for that.

Allusions[]
- The Simpsons: Ms. Murawski retrieving an egg from her hair is an allusion to Marge Simpson, of "The Simpsons", who stores items in her hair.
- Phineas and Ferb: One of the contraptions crashing into a pigeon could be an allusion to a common gag in "Phineas and Ferb" where a pigeon would crash into one of the very tall projects of the day.

Errors[]
- The doorbell button and the door latch are on the opposite sides from their usual place when Zack arrives with his eggs at Milo's House.
- Also, the door opens outward rather than inward, the porch light is hung from a chain instead of mounted on the wall and the window to the right of the door is missing.
- When Melissa gets ready for Big Bertha to drop, her helmet buckle is on but in the next shot it's off.
- Ms. Murawski warns the students to, "take into account acceleration speed." Acceleration is a rate and by its very nature is not a fixed speed.
- Though she may be referring to the added speed an object would gain on its way down from the roof due to acceleration.
- Pamela Adlon is credited in both this episode and Going the Extra Milo, despite Brigette Murphy not appearing in either episode.
- When Melissa and Zack are bringing Big Bertha to class, Lydia is shown walking away from Melissa and then a few seconds later when Zack and Melissa are running to class, she is shown on the opposite end of the hallway talking to another student. A similar error occurs for Casey, Haley, and Matt.
- Sarah and Jemma are seen handling an egg container in class, but on the roof, another team drops this container, and their team drops a different one.
- Chrissie Fit is credited in this episode despite Amanda Lopez not having any lines.
