"The Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event" is the thirty-second episode of the second season of Milo Murphy's Law.
When Lydia and Bradley are injured, Melissa recruits Milo and Zack for her new Speech and Debate team.
Plot
The episode opens with Chad announcing via the Jefferson G. County School Channel that The Speech and Debate League of Death and Destruction Cross Town Explosion Event is eight hours away. Milo and Zack walk into the gym to see Melissa finish training Bradley and Lydia before the later two fall through the wrestling ring and end up in the Hospital. She begs Zack and Milo to fill in for them and, after some convincing, they accept and she spends time training them. Ms. Murawski, Mr. Drako, and Coach Mitchell act as the announcers and reveal their opponents to be the Middletown Middle School Middlemen.
Melissa wins the first round in a tug of war debate over front lawns but the middlemen cheat in the boy band hopscotch debate by having Murray the Middleman distract the ref while Zack’s opponent trips him. However Murray slips on water from the janitor. As the match goes on, both teams tie when the final debate is a cage match potato sack jumping race over whether winning or participation is better. Milo goes up against Wendy. During the match Murray trips up the ref and the janitor comes to his rescue. Milo tricks Wendy into forfeiting, winning his team the debate. Coach thanks Murray and the janitor, Stan and Bill, for coming when the superintendent comes and Coach reveals that the event was not approved.
