The whole family forgets little Ben’s birthday for a week and Mickey decides tell him it’s his birthday to avoid telling him they forgot, as he is already dealing with the trauma of his parents leaving. Since his parents can’t be there (and that’s all he asked for), Sabrina and Chip go behind Mickey’s back and give him a giant party, so she brings in her favorite childhood clown who brings drugs with him. Ben finds a balloon full of drugs and swallows it, leading Mickey and Sabrina to fight about what they should do. Eventually he throws it up. Mickey gives him a present saying it’s from his parents.

Masculine Qualities:

  1. Aggressive
    • threatened to strangle Sabrina when they disagreed

Feminine Qualities:

  1. Sympathetic
    • noticed how Ben has been hurting and tried to help by making him think his parents sent him a gift
  2. Sensitive to others’ needs
    • when Chip and Sabrina got him material items, Mickey explained that that wasn’t what he needed, he just missed his parents

In S1E4, Mickey is portrayed as slightly more feminine, so stereotypical.
