Line 2:
This is a one-episode medical condition that seems to be prevalent in kids' shows. As such, it is played less for drama, and falls more into the category of [[Very Special Episode]]. The basic formula for such an episode is thus:
# The character (usually either a kid or someone sufficiently childlike) has a throat problem that turns out to be tonsillitis.
# The character angsts about having to have surgery, but is reassured by his/her loved ones and
# The operation goes off without a hitch. Whether loved ones actually come through with the ice cream is optional.
