"The Mid-Afternoon Snack Club" is the thirty-third episode of the second season of Milo Murphy's Law.
Due to a Murphy's Law accident, the rather stern substitute teacher Mr. Blunt puts Milo, Zack, Melissa, Amanda, Mort and Bradley on detention with an art assignment to be done in two hours. The kids decide to do whatever they want to do instead. Meanwhile, a familiar enemy comes to seek revenge on Milo and tries to track him down.
Plot[]
As the bell rings for art class and the teacher doesn't show up, they speculate that they will have a substitute. This is proven true when Mr. Blunt, a strict, no-nonsense teacher, arrives. He gives a speech about how art is order but Milo says it is much like chaos. After Murphy's Law causes Mr. Blunt to be accidentally hit in the face with a paint holder, he gives Milo detention and Melissa, Zack, Mort and Amanda get detention for defending him. Even Bradley gets detention for siding with the teacher.
Meanwhile, the Cyborg Bear emerges from the ground and seeks Milo to exact revenge.
Back at Jefferson County Middle School, Mr. Blunt gives them two hours to make an abstract sculpture reflecting their inner selves. Bradley starts mildly insulting everyone and Milo suggests they get started on the sculpture, but they decide to goof off instead. They then begin to talk about their inner thoughts and Zack reveals how he thinks he is sometimes a bystander in his own life since meeting Milo and Milo lets Zack handle whatever comes next.
Meanwhile, the Cyborg Bear makes it to town and remembers his life while searching for Milo. He goes to the Murphy Residence and, not finding him, sees a yearbook and goes to his school to find him.
The six wait for something to happen resulting in the rats escaping, the room catching fire, the sprinklers breaking, and Mr. Blunt singing to Lindana's song over the intercom.
The Cyborg Bear locks on to Milo's heat signature, but slips on water.
In detention, Zack quickly fixes the sprinklers to put out the fire and the bear slips on water and falls out the window unnoticed. Zack makes a make shift vacuum to suck up the rats and put them in their cage. The Cyborg Bear climbs back in, but gets covered in various objects before getting frozen solid. Mr. Blunt realizes the intercom is on and quickly goes to detention to check on them. He sees the frozen bear and is amazed with it. Everyone goes home, but as Mort tries to explain his inner thoughts, the episode suddenly ends.

Trivia[]
- The blue bird given detention by Mr. Blunt actually appears later in the episode in a nest on the edge of the window.
- Second time Milo doesn't wear his backpack.
- The Murphy family's home address is 5521 Druid Drive, and their phone number is 555-0143.
- This is one number above Linda Flynn-Fletcher's, which was revealed in the Phineas and Ferb episode "Phineas and Ferb Hawaiian Vacation" to be 555-0142.
- When the Cyborg Bear is looking at the list of names of Danville citizens and their addresses a "Nolan M." is seen. This appears to reference Nolan Mitchell, but it could be someone with the surname "Nolan", as Milo was listed as "Murphy M.".
- All of the telephone numbers shown begin with the digits "555-01". This pattern is frequently used in movies and television, as no real phone numbers actually use this order of digits.
- There is a Hidden Mickey on a board behind Bradley.
- Apparently, many characters including Melissa, Bradley and Mr. Blunt often confuse Mort for Chad due to their similar appearances.
- Flashbacks of "Now I Am a Murphy" appears during the song "Looking High and Low For Milo".

Allusions[]
- The Breakfast Club: The entire episode, including the title, is a reference to the classic 1985 film.
- The Gold Rush: Milo recreates Charlie Chaplin's bread roll dance using pencils and erasers during the musical montage.
- Phineas and Ferb: Mr. Blunt listens to "I'm Lindana and I Wanna Have Fun" on his player.
- Victorious: In one of the songs when the gang runs and slides and runs back, it resembles the scene from the series' own Breakfast Club-based episode, "The Breakfast Bunch" when the main characters were running from Vice Principal Dickers.
- Mr. Men: In one scene, Bradley calls Amanda Little Miss Perfect, which is a reference to the popular Mr. Men and Little Miss franchise (despite the fact that there is no character named Little Miss Perfect; only Mr. Perfect).
