Once again, The Delightful Children from down The Lane have a birthday cake. After a trip to the Alamode. An Operative tells the gang about Numbuh 19th Century, who was an 1800's operative who was determined to steal the Three Cute Annoying Triplets Birthday Cake, a delicious cake made by their mother, a delicious, mouthwatering cake. The cake exploded, freezing over 15,000 K.N.D. Operatives. He thawed out, and is here today. He is confused, because he was frozen over 200 years. Meanwhile, Father has a cake the size of the earth, and he discovers the Three Cute Annoying Triplets Mothers secret recipe on 19th Century's chest. It turns out the Three Cute Annoying Triplets Mother was Father's Great Grand Mother. Father hopes to improve the cake for his children, in hopes of giving them the best birthday ever.

When the Ice Cream Men's ship cuts through Father's cake, you can see Numbuhs 1 and 19th Century trying to get to the transport. Wouldn't they die in outer space? edit »
If Father's great-grandmother lived in the 19th century, then the events in A.R.C.H.I.V.E. couldn't have happened very long ago. edit »

This is the first time Numbuh 2 is seen without his hat since L.I.C.E. edit »
This episode marks the only appearance of Numbuh 19th Century. edit »
Villains: DCFDTL, Father, Chef Pierre, & The Ice-Cream Men edit »
We now know that the Delightful Children from Down the Lane each have separate birthdays. Numbuh 1 mentions that they only have one shot at the cake five times a year, showing that it's also been about a year since Operation C.A.K.E.D. edit »
Numbuh 5 proves again she has keen ice cream sense when she grimaced in pain when Father had the KND ice cream storage facility destroyed just before Numbuh 60 reported it. edit »

Father: I love to bake. Why, it's more than a hobby, really. edit »
Numbuh 86 (after yelling at Numbuh 50 Million B.C.): This guy is like forty-eight kamillion years old!
Numbuh 19th Century: Now see here missy! If you want to do something useful for us boys, why don't you go whip us up some figgy pudding? I'm famished. And while you're at it, my britches could use a good laundering. And don't you think- (Numbuh 15th Century is smacked by Numbuh 86)
Numbuh 86: (dragging Numbuh 19th Century behind her) Out of my way! edit »
Numbuh 5 (disguised as an Elite Ice Cream Man, with shackled Numbuh 3 pretending to be her prisoner): Uh... we found this girl trying to eat some icing on Tier 237.
Numbuh 3: Yeah, so if you could just tell us where our friends are so we could break them out, that would be grea- (is elbowed by Numbuh 5) Ow! What?
Elite Ice Cream Man: Aren't you a little short to be an Ice Cream Man?
Numbuh 5: I'm taller then that guy.
Elite Ice Cream Man: Who? Steve? Aw, get outta... (Numbuh 3 squeezes his shoulder to try to knock him out) Thanks. I had that worst crick in my neck for the last... (Numbuh 5 blasts him with an ice cream gun) edit »
Numbuh 86 (to Father): HA!! The Kids Next Door will find your cake, whereever on Earth you've hidden it!
Father: FOOLS! The cake isn't anywhere on Earth, YOU'RE STANDING ON IT!!! Only in the cold void of space could I construct the perfect ice cream cake ever for my delightful children.
Numbuh 19th Century: Cake and ice cream, together? That's not possible! (begins talking to himself)
Father (to Numbuh 86): This kid doesn't get out much, does he?
Numbuh 86: He's from the 19th Century.
Father: Get outta here!
Numbuh 86: No, really! He's like never seen cars and stuff. Go on, ask him anything.
Father: Say, 19th Century kid. You wanna watch a cartoon...on the television?
Numbuh 19th Century: What is a cartoon, and what is this thing you call "tele-vision"?
(Father and Numbuh 86 burst out laughing) edit »
Ice Cream Man: Hey, they're having a party down on cell block! (The others cheer and leave with him)
Father: Hey, I didn't give permission for a party! What, noone invites me? I may be evil, but that doesn't mean I don't like to party down once in a while. edit »

When the ice cream men's spaceship cut through the cake, it was playing off the scene when the Super-Star Destroyer hit the Death Star in "Return of the Jedi." edit »
Alamode: the Name may be a reference to the Alamo edit »
Birthday Cake: Death Star

The birthday cake in this episode is an obvious play off of the Death Star from the Star Wars trilogy. The laser was used to destroy planets in the movie, but here, it destroyed ice cream factories. In addition, Numbah Five exclusively plays the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who felt a disturbance in the Force, when Aldeeran was destroyed by the Death Star. Here, she feels a disturbance in the "Force", when ice cream around the world is destroyed as well. edit »
Episode:Star Wars

This epsidoe heavily combines Star Wars Episode Four and Episode Six together. The cake itself i this episode and its ice cream-destroying weaponry is a reference to the Death Star in the trilogy. Father sits in his chair and watches the construction, much like the Emperor did. Number 86 and 19th Century were trapped in a jail cell, like Princess Leia Organa and Numbers 3 and 5 break them out while sneaking onto the ship and distracting the ice cream men, who resemble storm troopers. Number 3 even does the everything fine Han Solo line. Nigel and Father also have a sword fight with candle, similar to Vader and Luke's fight in Episdoe Six. That and many other references suport the Star Wars franchise. edit »
Twice in the episode Numbuh Three tries to knock out guards with the Vulcan Nerve Pinch, a technique used in the show Star Trek. edit »
