## Synopsis

At school, Mike tells Connor that his dad slapped his friend Zack’s butt and said that it was a man’s way of saying ‘you’re interesting’. Connor wants to do that to him, but Mike refuses to let him do it.

Some time later at fourth block, Mike spots Connor, who says he has a surprise for him. He shoves his butt and says ‘you’re interesting’, but this causes Mike to fall down the stairs and not only bruise his arm, but broke his leg as well. Connor, realizing what he just did, runs down stairs and apologizes to Mike. He then takes Mike to the nurse’s office.

Gina, the school nurse, sends Connor to the office after he admitted that he made Mike break his leg. She then tells Mike that his dad will pick him up and took him to the hospital. He also would have to take the rest of the week off to let his leg heel. Later, after a trip to the hospital, Mike lays on his bed, wearing a foot cast.

Connor arrives in his room and tells Mike that he got suspended for the rest of the week and is going to be his personal nurse for the time being. Mike thought about this and decides that it would be a perfect opportunity to tire him by giving him bogus tasks to do for him. He thanks Connor and asks him the first thing that came to his mind: to give him a glass of milk.

Connor gives him what he wanted and he asks for mac-and-cheese. Days went by as Connor did tasks for him. We get to Saturday, and Mike arrives back home from the hospital with a healed leg. Connor, in his underwear after taking his nurse dress off, is happy about this. Mike thanks him again and forgives him. They kiss for no reason, and the episode ends with Mike slapping Connor’s butt and says ‘you’re interesting’ one last time.

## Trivia/Goofs

* The title of this episode is a reference to the theatrical slang, "Break a leg!".
* The intro music, "The Bachelor Life (a)" composed by Laurie Johnson, is used in this episode when Connor watches TV while waiting for Mike to come home from the hospital with his leg heeled.
* This episode, along with "Mike's Lagoon" are the only episodes with every piece of dialogue placed in a dialogue bubble. Pakenham retired from that concept after this episode because he thought that would be distracting.
* If you listen closely in the background, you can hear dogs barking in the background. This was because Pakenham recorded the episode’s dialogue while his family’s dogs were barking in the background downstairs.
* There was an original version of this episode's title card, which almost looks like the same as the finalized version, but it had the title and opening credits in one shot.
* This is Connor's first major role in an episode.
* According to Pakenham, the context of Mike and Connor kissing randomly at the end of the episode came from the *Family Guy* episode "Into Harmony's Way" where at the end of the episode, Peter and Quagmire kiss for no reason at one part.
* This is also the last episode to have the show's logo on a title card because starting with "Mike Watches the Paramount DVD Logo", an intro sequence precedes the episode.
	+ The original version of the video was taken down and reuploaded with the addition of the intro sequence prior to the episode.
* The clip of SpongeBob while Connor watches TV came from the *SpongeBob* episode "Pineapple RV", although that episode didn't air in the United States until July 17, 2020.
