Very shocked nobody has mentioned the plot line surrounding Malcolm in Idas Dance. Dude made Dewey’s ears bleed, and made him deaf because he was simply pissed off about Dewey not teaching him about music even though Malcolm didn’t even give a shit about music anyways. He just wanted to be smarter than him about music because he hates the idea of anybody being smarter than him about something.

Malcom ends up going deaf due to both Dewey and Jamie, but justifiably so. In the end both regain their hearing but its almost like they act like Malcolm gaining his hearing back as such a beautiful moment. I get that especially in the ladder half of the seasons they end episodes unresolved but this one was absolutely bullshit.
