Sara Murphy


"The Doctor Zone Files" is the fifth episode in the first season of Milo Murphy's Law. It first aired on October 17, 2016.[1]

Sara wants to go with Milo to see The Dr. Zone Files: The Movie Files, the cinematic adventure of Dr. Zone from her favorite sci-fi franchise of the same name. However, because her little brother embodies Murphy's Law in him, Sara gets worried about potential problems that might show up.

Plot[]

Sara, Milo, Zack, and Melissa are seen wrapping up a marathon of The Dr. Zone Files in preparation to see the movie that is opening that same day. Sara takes custody of the tickets, fearing that they will come to an ill fate given the many mishaps that tend to occur around Milo. Zack and Melissa are then treated to a brief history of the series, which has been running for over fifty years, prior to standing in line at the film. While Sara takes numerous precautions against Murphy's Law, Zack and Melissa become involved in a discussion with Dr. Zone fans Wally and Kris regarding Dr. Zone's sidekick, Time Ape.

An attempt by Milo and Sara to buy pistachios from Balthazar Cavendish and Vinnie Dakota while waiting to enter the theatre results in the pistachio stand exploding into the air, followed by the mysterious disappearance of the operators. When Melissa and Zack theorize that Time Ape is, in fact, Dr. Zone's long-lost brother, Wally and Kris are infuriated, prompting Sara to quickly intervene before a fight breaks out. In doing so, she inadvertently leaves the tickets on the back of a car just before it pulls away, leaving the group unable to attend the showing. Sara gains a new appreciation for Milo, who has always tried to make up for the mishaps that occur around him, and the four are able to view the movie after all once the falling pistachio stand takes out the side wall of the theatre.

Allusions[]

  • Superman — Melissa's fan theory of Dr. Zone and Time Ape's origin is based on the origin of Superman.
  • Batman - The transition of the clock going in front of the camera and disappearing again with a music cue is similar to a common transition in the 1966 TV Show Batman.
  • Julius Caesar (play) — Sara's line "Newbies, Oldbies, lend me your ears" is a reference to the first line of a speech by Mark Antony in the play Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare ("Friends, Romans, Countrymen, lend me your ears").
