The one where Elly's need to destroy the mouse conflicts with Liz wanting to make a pet of it. Also, April is a chaos agent.

Panel 1: Having never heard of far more reliable glue traps, Elly is angered by the fact that the trap was sprung but the mouse ain't dead.

Panel 2: We see the culmination of filling Liz's head with bullshit about angels painting frost on windows by having her simper about how vermin that consume food meant for humans and who spread disease and death are too cute to be trapped.

Panel 3: Elly fails of her purpose as a mother by stating that just because something is cute, it doesn't have the right to mess up her kitchen. I personally expected this because if you have a mother who lectures dogs in the hope that she can shame them into reforming, you're gonna have a kid who thinks that cats 'bully' mice.

Panel 4: We laugh like goofs when we see April messing around with Elly's pots again.

Summary: The reason Liz is acting like a stupid seven year old is that she's more or less treated like one. If they were to tell her point blank that cartoons aren't real and what hantavirus and the Black Death are, she might stop acting like a moron.
