* They agree. Stacey nudges Mike.
* Mike: Er... any tips, sweetheart?
* Stacey: Sorry, sugar britches - you're on your own. Rules are rules.
* Mike is performing the laundry. He's applying detergent. Then he started the machine.
* Mike: Oh, no! I added bleach instead of detergent!
* They're feared!
* Mike: He he. Er... No problem, I'll just add some extra water to dilute it.
* Mike adds extra water into the machine. The machine starts shaking! Mike runs aside!
* Mike: AAAGH! IT'S AFTER ME!

* Patrick: Look at him. How are we gonna beat that?
* Mike: Maybe laundry is his thing...
* On the girls' side...
* Nora: Wow, Emily - your subscribers LOVE Chad!
