## Synopsis

In his garage, Kyle finally finishes with his latest invention, the Toothbrush-Bot, which brushes teeth, after a month and seven days of working on it. He built it for the science fair tomorrow. Mike and Connor show up and Kyle beholds them with the Toothbrush-Bot. Mike forgot to make a project for the science fair and Connor asks that there’s a science fair. Mike then hits him with a fish.

Kyle then asks Connor to be his test monkey, since he is literally dress as a monkey. He then gets the Toothbrush-Bot to brush Connor’s dirty teeth. Connor loves the robot and takes the monkey suit off. Kyle then goes to the bathroom in the house. Connor carries the Toothbrush-Bot home with him. Mike hits him with the fish again, which causes him to drop it on the road and make a truck run it over.

Mike blames this on Connor and they have an argument about it. Connor now realizes that it was all his fault and begs him not to tell Kyle on him. Connor then decides to fix the robot so Kyle won’t notice that his robot’s broken. Later that night, Connor is relieved that he fixed the robot and goes to sleep. He then has a nightmare about Kyle noticing that the robot is broken and blaming Connor for it with Mike.

Connor wakes up the next morning. Later at the school, the science fair goes on. Principal Roger goes around to check everyone’s projects. Mike made a baking soda volcano. Connor ate his project and gets disqualified. Cody programmed a credit card to dance to top 90’s songs.

After seeing those projects, he then goes up to Kyle’s project. Kyle shows him the Toothbrush-Bot and tries to turn it on, but it explodes to pieces. Kyle is now disqualified. A guilty Connor tells the truth and apologizes to Kyle. Kyle forgives him, and Principal Roger chose Cody as the winner of the science fair.

## Trivia/Goofs

* The music that Cody uses for his dancing credit card to dance to is a cover of the *Beastie Boys* song "Intergalatic". The real version wasn't played on there due to copyright reasons.
* This episode is supposed to be a parody of Edgar Poe's *The Tell-Tale Heart*, in which this episode is named after, in which the plot of Connor destroying something of Kyle's is a reference to the plot of the former story.
* Principal Roger is based off Michael Pakenham's high school principal, Keith Richard. Pakenham wanted Roger to be an exact clone of him.
* A baking soda volcano, in which Mike made for the science fair, is a common project made for science fairs.
* This is the first episode to have another person give an idea and write an episode. Later on, as the series goes on, episodes would be requested by fellow YouTube subscribers of Pakenham's YouTube channel, *M-Pack*.
* This is the first episode where Mike plays a minor role, as this episode mostly focuses on both Connor and Kyle.
