Food for Thought

**Food for Thought** is an episode of *The Brothers* series.

## Plot

Corey will not be able to graduate and go to Funland if he doesn't pass his history test on the American Revolution. Danny helps him study by telling him the story of Christopher Columbus. Apparently, the queen, Queen Isabella, sent Chris across the world to get some spices for her soup under the promise he could name the new world after himself and all school kids will get out of school on his birthday. After Danny messes up the story (by saying Columbus fell off the edge of the Earth), Simon takes over. Once Columbus arrived at what he believes is the East Indies (really the Bahamas), he tried to name it after himself (Columbus Land), but the natives (who he calls Indians) rejected the idea. A fellow explorer named Amerigo found the East Indies (really America) and, unlike Chris, managed to name the new land after himself. The next part of the review dealt with the pilgrims. The pilgrims went to America and created Thanksgiving as a thanks for surviving the harsh winter despite their odds.

The American colonials were tired of expensive tea, so they revolted starting with the Boston Tea Party. They win the first war (the American Revolution), sign the Declaration of Independence, and fight in the War of 1812. After Corey believes everything was great after the war, Simon tells him of a more legendary war against the Indians. General George Custer led his troops to fight Chief Sitting Bull but failed. Theodore is quizzed by his brothers and unfortunately only recalls the part about the pilgrims because it was about food. To help Corey remember important events, Simon cooks him breakfast so he can relate them to foods. The method works to secure Theo an A-. Later as Funland, Alvin becomes annoyed at Corey's new way to retain knowledge, while accidentally getting on the super-fast Space Coaster.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Carroll

**Merry Christmas, Mr. Carroll** is an episode of *The Brothers* series.

## Plot

Danny has to do a report on the true meaning of Christmas by Christmas Eve. Upset, Danny carelessly speeds away on his bike, causing Marlon and Corey to spin out of control. Danny runs over Mr. Carroll's flowers, causing Mr. Carroll to yell at him, Danny responds by calling him a grouch. Danny writes a HUGE list of what he wants for Christmas. Danny is ordered by Jeff to get going on his paper route. Danny does a slapdash job on his paper route, causing a paper intended for Mr. Carroll to be soaked. Mr. Carroll orders Danny to get him a fresh paper, lest he file a customer complaint, which makes Danny late to deliver his list and forget to write his essay.

Danny falls asleep, which then starts his adventure. He first meets an old version of Jeff who is the Spirit of Christmas Past.

**Christmas Past:** When the Brothers were tiny, Jeff was still living in the ramshackle cabin seen in the pilot episode. The Brothers said the only gifts they could afford for Jeff were an eraser, pencil and piece of paper, to which Jeff replies that is perfect for what he has in mind. He immediately uses the gifts to compose a song and the Brothers have a good time singing. Danny recalls a good time, but then is met by Corey, the Spirit of Christmas Present, who shows what will come.

**Christmas Present:** Danny is so wrapped up in what he will get that he ignores Jeff's orders to get going on his paper route. Mr. Carroll does not get his paper, but is not a grouch, as he tells his pet cat Ebenezer that families are probably having a good time with Christmas preparation, but himself being a widower, has no family and no way to connect with the world save for the daily paper. Danny is surprised and does not want to see anymore, but is met by Marlon as the Spirit of Christmas Yet to Come.

**Christmas Yet to Come:** Danny eats the entire dinner, except Brussell sprouts (which Danny comments to the Spirit that he hates) making Danny fatter than Corey. Danny jumps to greet Grandma and Grandpa, who are knocked over and sent to the emergency room. Back home, a bandaged Grandma and Grandpa say the doctor said they will be out of their casts by the end of April, and Danny said that is perfect for them to expect his list for the next Christmas that had not happened yet! Danny jumps up and down exclaiming for himself, causing the Murphy residence to collapse. Frightened by the monster he has become, Danny wakes up and repents.

Afterwards: Danny helps Coreyin the kitchen, helps Marlon give a large gift to Jeff, and composes his essay. He then invites Mr. Carroll to spend Christmas with the Murphys, and a grateful Mr. Carroll joins in on their Christmas carols.

## *Danny and the Brothers: The Road Trip*

Kaylee, who's been dating Jeff Murphy, meets The Brothers while at a mini-golf course where they learn that she is a doctor (potential a new doctor given she's recently performed her first heart surgery) and the mother of a bully named Cody. She is seen as forgettable as she twice forgets she's wearing her stethoscope outside work; after the first time, she generously gives the stethoscope to Marlon. Though she encourages Jeff to be more of a "good cop" when it comes to punishment of The Brothers, she is quick to act as a "bad cop" when the two discover that their boys sneaked out of Jeff's L.A. house to follow them.

Kaylee isn't committed to a long-term relationship with Dave as shown during their final dinner together in Orlando. While she's open to the possibility in the future, she's glad that Jeff isn't expecting such from her now.
