Season 1 episode 16, titled "Team Diffy," follows the Diffy family as they try to find a way to fit into their new school. Phil, the teenage son, has been struggling to make friends and his attempts to join the basketball team have been unsuccessful. His sister, Pim, on the other hand, has joined the cheerleading squad and is enjoying her new popularity.
After Phil fails to join the basketball team during tryouts, his father, Lloyd, suggests that he start his own team. Phil recruits his younger sister, Pim, and his new friend, Keely Teslow, to join his team. Lloyd helps them by building them a robot that can play basketball.
The team, made up of Phil, Pim, Keely, and the robot, starts to practice and improve their skills. However, they face a new challenge when they learn that they have to play against the school's basketball team, who are known for being bullies and having a perfect winning record.
Phil and his team decide to use their unique skills and create a new strategy to beat the school's team. They eventually come up with a plan and even recruit the school's nerdy science teacher to help them.
The episode culminates in the big game between Phil's team and the school's team. The game is intense, but Phil's team manages to pull off a surprising win, much to the shock of the school's team and the rest of the school.
Overall, "Team Diffy" is a heartwarming episode about the importance of friendship and teamwork. It also showcases Phil's inventive and creative problem-solving skills as he comes up with a unique way to fit in and succeed in his new world.
