The kids and Natalie were singing the song Go Underneath the Broomstick until Binyah Binyah snapped the broom in half. James is furious with Binyah Binyah and snaps at him for breaking the broom, telling him that he needs to take a time out, too; far, far away.

Trivia[]

This episode provides examples of:

Extremely Short Timespan: The episode took place on 2 days and 1 night.
Feud Episode: One-sided, for James and Binyah Binyah. James is only one who's angry, so when he tells Binyah Binyah to leave the house, Binyah Binyah does just that.
It's All My Fault: James even lampshades this.
My God, What Have I Done? After James cools off and ready to make amends with Binyah Binyah, the other kids inform him and the family they've spent the whole day searching for him to no avail. He only returns the next day.
Time Out: James in the house and Binyah Binyah far far away
What Happened to the Mouse? Shaina is not seen again after the sequence where she and Ron visited Ranger Mike Walker to look for tadpoles.
