Ch.7 My Genius Idea:妈妈的公司一个顾客都没有,但学校募到了3000磅食物。安德烈说Mr. Tony做疯狂的事是想出名、被人喜欢。AJ想出天才主意:让Mr. Tony做全世界最大的披萨,一举成名。

Ch.10 Pizza Toppings:吉尼斯女士和电视台刚到场,Mr. Klutz就穿猩猩服跳伞降落,误把大披萨当成校屋顶的红圈目标,一头栽进披萨里。Mr. Tony跳进去救他,两人在番茄酱里打滚,吉尼斯女士宣布因为"在披萨里摔跤"而拒绝认证纪录,披萨也报废了。
Ch.11 A Happy Ending:妈妈的公司因为Mr. Klutz拒付食材钱而破产,AJ得以退出课后托管,开心地回家看电视。电视新闻把Mr. Klutz说成疯狂想出名的人,却把Mr. Tony夸成救人英雄,还说他将出自传、拍电影。故事以"Happy Ending"结束。
