 First a potted plant that's been shrivled up, and now a twig broke in two?! What's next on Shannon and Brian's "list of objects considered to be the most saddest thing in the world"?

A Twig's Tale is the seventeenth episode of the first season of Lu & the Bally Bunch and the seventeenth episode overall.
Plot
Lu accidentally breaks Barnaby's special twig and realizes how much it means to him.
Why It Should Snap In Two
- Like Droopy Patrick, this is another episode childishly written and directed by Shannon George and Brian O'Brien involving a character crying over an object that doesn't make any sense to cry over.
- Barnaby acted like a whiny crybaby in this episode because a twig, named twiggy, got accidentally broken by Lu. Yes. He cried over a twig of all things. How dumb do you think the crew were when making this episode?
- Barnaby thinks having a freaking branch was "special to him" when it clearly isn't.
- Lu's Dad, Barnaby's Moms and Aiden and Lola serve no purpose to be in this episode and only exist for filler reasons.
- Aunt Didi, instead of just telling Barnaby that Twiggy is just a broken twig and could've just told him to find another one, just comforted him instead. This episode shows that the writers clearly don't know how to make a personality for parents. Even for a lesbian couple of all people.
- Lu is also no better, she tried and failed to put Twiggy back together and starts crying annoyingly, too.
- Irony: Why couldn't Lu just glue or tape Twiggy back together?
- The episode's moral, "Replacing something that's near and dear to you is not as easy as you think" is poorly executed here all because Shannon and Brian thought having somebody cry over something not important like a stick is the saddest thing in the world is a good idea, when it's not.
Redeeming Qualities
- Okay voice acting, especially for Lu's Dad and Barnaby's Moms (except for Barnaby and Lu's crying).
- Lu, while no better, is at least a little tolerable for at least trying to help Barnaby, except for when she cries.
- Good Ending: Barnaby realizes that by seeing his twin baby siblings, having two broken twigs are more fun to play with and now he feels better.
- While the moral in WISSIT #6 is executed poorly, there is another moral in this episode that's actually better: Two things are better than one.

If Joseph from SML was here, he'd tell Barnaby "He's a stick, dude!".
