    This episode was hilarious! My favorite part was when Omi found out milk comes from cows. He was so eager to learn how to milk one XD Poor Omi didn't learn how unil the end of the episode. He tried throughout the episode, but he kept getting kicked out of the barn by the cow, Old Bessy. I also liked the part at the end when Wuya tells Jack that she's not his mommy. Then she tells him to pick up his toys and get home XD That sounds like a mommy to me XD Overall, this was a great episode.moreless

    The best part - Omi getting kicked by a cow seven times. Clay finally stands up to his dad - good for him! I like Jack's comment toward the end: "Why don't we have a relationship like that?" To which Wu-Ya replies, "Because I'm not your mommy. Now pick up your toys, Jackie, we're going home."

    this episode is exactly why i watch xiaolin showdown.this is one of my favorite episodes for one its a clay episode and we dont see a lot of those. i'm also glad we get to see a parent cause it made me wonder if thier parents even cared they werre out doing dangerous stuff. i also think its cool that one of the shn gon wu has been in one of the warriors families for awhile. the beggining of this episode cracks me up every time. watching rai play a trick on clay is funny. its nice to see that the xiaolin showdown really do care for each other!moreless

Daddy Bailey takes his son back to Texas, but Dojo later realizes that Clay's dad is unwarily wearing an inactive Shen-Gong-Wu around his neck, thinking its a lone star.

My favorite part of this episode is that showdown because there is like a big flood and Omi can puts the cow on a roof.moreless

  • It starts out with the milk prank and later turns into Daddy Bailey coming. Later, he takes his son back and Omi, Kimiko, and Rai aren\'t taking it very well. Then, the Star Hanabi is revealed, the showdown, and Clay being able to keep the star.moreless

    It was a pretty good episode. This could possibly be the first turning point of the series. It was so unfair that Clay\'s dad took him back to the ranch. That was kind of sad; especially to the other three warriors. Then any viewer\'s slight depression lightened up greatly when Omi kept trying to milk Old Bessie. We then find out that the Star Hanabi just went active. Soon enough, Daady Bailey encounters Jack and Wuya. What are they going to do? Well it\'s Clay Bailey to the rescue! Then there\'s the showdown with Jack in which Jack loses pitifully as usual. Then, Clay gets the Star Hanabi (which was originally known to him as the Lone Star of Texas).moreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • The fact that Daddy Bailey stated the Lone Star was in the family since the first settler dug it up in 1849 appears to suggest that this show takes place in 2049 because Dojo asked "yeah but who do you think buried it back in 549?". This does not make much sense considering the fact that in Time After Time (1) Omi set the timer for the year 2085 (8o years after the present time), which would say the show is set in 2005 instead. Edit
    • When Omi tries to create a metaphor; after, he says that he misses Clay and his metaphors but, what he said wasn't a metaphor. It was a similie because the word 'like' was used. ((Correction: Omi does not know the difference between a simile and a metaphor. We've seen how much he can mangle English (i.e. 'Peace off,' 'Cold, dud!') Edit
    • In the opening Raimundo and Omi are putting 10 gallons of milk in Clay's hat to test to see if it is indeed holds 10 gallons like it's name states... but that isn't a 10 Gallon hat, kiddos, that's a Stetson hat. Ten gallon hats are tall and have rounded tops, like what they tried to put on Omi. Edit

    • This is the first time we see a shen-gong-wu before it's active: the star Hanabi. Edit

    • Daddy Bailey: (eyeing the scroll) How do you make that little cartoon feller to move like that? Clay: This is perfect! Daddy can come along for a Shen Gong Wu round up, then you'll see why I got to stay here. Omi: And you can tell me the ancient secret of making milk from cows. Edit
    • Clay: (chasing Raimundo) You are Texas toast, Rai!!! Edit
    • Dojo: (eyeing Daddy's Bailey's necklace) Say, nice thingamobob. Edit

    • Visual: Kimiko's hairstyle Based on her hairstyle, Kimiko resembles Trey Racer from Shaman King. Both have light blue, spiked-up hair. Edit
    • Visual: Quidditch
      When Jack was trying to catch the star during the tornado storm in the showdown, the way he tried to catch it resembled the way you try to catch a snitch in the game of Quidditch in Harry Potter. Edit
