I Remember Melvilledisplays the Five Stages of Grief (a.k.a. theKübler-Ross model) throughout the episode, with Chuckie...
1. Denial: Chuckie first keeps denying Melville is dead and desperately tries to awaken him.
2. Anger: Chuckie is angered when the others try to tell him Melville is dead, and that the "replacement bug" is really a snail.
3. Barganing:Chuckie attempts to show that Melville is fine by having him perform in a "circus."
4. Depression: Chuckie finally realizes Melville is truly dead and cries over it, even when the babies eat chocolate pudding (as he remembered he and Melville liked eating pudding together.)
5. Acceptance:The ending when Chuckie starts laughing at the funeral, remembering all the good times he had with Melville, shows he has now accepted his pet bug's death.
Goof: In the episode "I Remember Melville" Lil's bow is yellow in one scene.
(Tommy, Phil and Lil notice Melville lying on his back, not moving...)
Lil: Maybe he's tired.
Phil: Maybe his batteries ran out.
Lil: Or maybe he's dead.
Angelica: Excuse me a sec, I'm gonna go check on the babies. (Angelica leaves) Tommy: Hey Chuckie, where'd Angelica say she was going? Chuckie: To check on the babies. Tommy: Oh, okay. Everyone: We are the babies!
(Angelica starts to ravenously eat cookies that fell into a washing bucket) Tommy: But Angelica! They're all wet and soapy! Angelica: I don't care! (Eats more, then starts to groan) Tommy? Closer... closer... (Screaming) Never! Never! Ever! Let me have cookies again!
Lil: "Dead" means that you go to sleep for a long time. Phil: Like forever.
Chuckie: He was the bestest bug I ever had. Phil: He was the only bug you ever had.
Angelica: ...I learned all the different varieties: (Pausing between each one to reflect) Chocolate Chip! Oatmeal! Gingerbread! (Flashback ends) Each one delicious; special in its own way. So you see, Tommy, cookies made me who I am.
Tommy: I promised Angelica that no matter how much she asked, no matter how much she begged, no matter how much she cried, I wouldn't let her have any cookies! And, guys, I'm gonna keep my promise! Chuckie: I love it when he gives these big speeches.
