Wild Air Freshener

**Wild Air Freshener** is the seventh episode of season one, and the 7th episode overall of the Comedies for Kids series *WildSide*. It first aired on October 28, 2011.

This episode was the sixth episode to be filmed in Season 1. Primary production took place between February 7-11, 2011.

## Overview

Dean brings home dozens of cans of air fresheners; much to his friends' dismay. Upon setting up the cans, the friends make a realisation that the air fresheners are highly flammable. Despite this, Dean refuses to throw them away.

## Continuity

* Dean mentions the pizza he attempted to make in Wild Injury.

## Future References (contains spoilers)

* The opening scene of this episode is very similar to the opening scenes of the episodes Wild Undercover Celebrity and Wild Haunted House respectively.
* This episode marks the first appearance of the crawl space under the house. This crawl space makes an appearance in some future episodes.
	+ The most prominent example of this occurs in Wild Smell, and Justice is asked to enter it in order to find the source of a horrible stench. The bag of air fresheners that the friends buried from this episode make a reappearance in Wild Smell, when the friends suspect it to be the stench source.
* In this episode, Rachel uses the houses' only fire extinguisher to put the bathroom fire out. In Wild Christmas it is revealed that a new one was never purchased, as the friends require it again when Justice's shoe catches on fire.

## Trivia

* Except for the brief scene at the mall, the entire episode takes place on the set of The House with no other guest stars besides the two credited firemen.
* This episode first aired in the United States on Sierra McCormick's 14th birthday (October 28, 2011).
* Rebecca Graham was absent in the episode due to duties working on the Channel 7 show *Going to School with Jessica*. This episode marks the first time a cast member was seen absent.
* Some key revelations were made about Rachel in this episode:
	+ She enjoyed gardening.
	+ Her father gave her a hand-me-down cookbook originally from his father (Rachel's grandfather) with the intention of Rachel passing the book down to her future children.
	+ Her grandfather on her father's side had died prior to the events of this episode.
* Some Asian countries have had Dean's nightmare scenes heavily edited due to them being "too disturbing" for their young viewership.
* The friends' plans of disposing the air fresheners involved five unsuccessful steps and one successful step at the end:
	+ Place the garbage bags in the normal bin out the front of their house - the bags were too big to fit.
	+ Place the garbage bags on the back of the garbage truck - the bags fell right off the truck.
	+ Ring someone to come pick up the bags for them - the person hangs up on Dean as soon as he mentions the air fresheners.
	+ Get someone to come pick up the bags from them - the garbage man ends up running away and ends up ringing the cops on them.
	+ Sell the air fresheners at the mall - Justice ends up revealing the flammability of the air fresheners, turning customers away.
	+ Place the garbage bags in the locked crawl space under the house - this ends up being successful; they turn up again in the Season 2 episode Wild Smell.
* The list of things that caught on fire/were destroyed in this episode include:
	+ A shelf in the bathroom (including some soap and toothpaste)
	+ Justice's cell phone
	+ Rachel's pizza ingredients and her cookbooks

## Goofs

* It is scientifically impossible for air fresheners to be as flammable as the ones in this episode were.
* Justice's cell phone would've been scorching hot after Rachel put the fire out of it, yet she didn't seem to flinch or complain about it after she picked it up.
* It is unknown why Rachel, with her level of intelligence, would leave all of her raw pizza ingredients out on the kitchen bench with out putting it in the oven first.
	+ She was most likely waiting for the oven to finish pre-heating.
* How could Rachel smell the kitchen smoke from the front yard, yet her friends couldn't smell it from the living room?
