SOMEONE, ANYONE, HELP ME!

Clarence doesn't listen and tries to crawl under the door to hug Ms. Baker, and that's when Mary arrives. Mary tells all the men to get out, and she apologizes to Ms. Baker for what she had to go through. Later, everyone sits at the table to eat ice cream. Everyone has a good time.

Controversy

  • As much with the episode, showing the two male couples, has led to other countries, either edited or removed the scene, while in countries, such as Kenya, had either suspended or banned the show from airing there, that alongside with other shows (such as Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, The Legend of Korra, The Loud House, and Star vs. the Forces of Evil) that displays anything LGBT related were also halted from airing there.

Censorship

  • In the Latin American and Brazilian version, the scene with the two men kissing in the chick was completely removed, leading to Ms. Baker looking at the door and only seeing Larry going in, instead of the male couple as in the original version.
    • This was also the reason why the episode took so long to air in Latin America and Brazil.
