Disaster of My Dreams

## Paired with

"Star Struck"

**"Disaster of My Dreams"** is the 25th episode in the first season of *Milo Murphy's Law*. It aired on September 25, 2017.

Getting one step closer to his lifelong dream of becoming the Offical Safety Czar, Elliot Decker is tried as the school's safety inspector. Ironically enough, as Elliot focuses too much on Milo, he causes more harm than safety.

## Plot

Elliot has been considered for the Jefferson County Middle School safety monitor and will get the job if he can make it through the whole day without one incident. He takes the job seriously until he catches sight of Milo. After Mort falls into a trash can, Elliot sits on him to block him from Principal Milder's view. He watches Just Getting Started during a rehearsal, then fails to fix the leaky drinking fountain. During Milo's science class, he watches Milo from the vent talking about "Bony Boy" (the human skeleton in the classroom) with Zack. After the class leaves, Elliot falls through the ceiling and patches up the hole with a poster.

He watches Milo and his class play soccer in gym from a bush but gives away his position after a struggle with a seagull for his sandwich, but the kids ignore him despite their curiosity. Later, a recently excavated, perfectly round boulder rolls through the school. Using all his cunning as trial school safety officer, Elliot gets the boulder outside with relatively little visible damage. Principal Milder comes back, but her car is wrecked by Elliot's bike, which falls out of a tree he threw it in earlier, and the boulder, which rolls onto it. As a result of all of this, he does not get the job.
