Biggie lives his greatest nightmare when he develops an allergy to the case of Mr. Dinkles' sniffles.

Four of The Snack Pack are playing tug of hair with each other. On one side is Poppy, Mr. Dinkles and Biggie and on the other is Guy Diamond, Cooper and Smidge. Guy and Biggie have tied their hair together into a rope across a pit of pink frosting. The loser ends up in the frosting. Poppy's team is holding its own until Mr. Dinkles sneezes. Poppy and Biggie take a moment to note that they fell in the frosting and celebrate over it, making the other team to jump in too. Mr. Dinkles sneezes again, causing concern. Poppy thinks something is wrong with the worm.
Milton Moss takes a look at Mr. Dinkles to see what is wrong. Biggie says that he knows Mr. Dinkles doesn't have a cold, as he gets sluggish and "is as worm-ish as ever". Milton tests the worm's reflexes, and all is normal but he has an allergy. He states the allergy could be for anything, including the mushroom the worm is stood on. Biggie puts Mr. Dinkles on a rock, and Milton notes he also could be allergic to the rock, to which Biggie moves him to another and Milton adds that rock too. Then as Biggie is trying to protect his pet, he holds him close to his hair and the worm sneezes. It turns out that Biggie is allergic to Mr. Dinkles too. Biggie pulls him closer, and the worm sneezes several times, confirming the worst.
Milton explains that critters can develop allergies to certain kinds of Troll hair. He says there is no known cure and then presents the only known cure. Biggie grabs the jar the cure is in and runs off before Milton can finish.
At his pod, Biggie takes a bath and washes his hair in the cure using the full bottle. He returns to Milton and Poppy and celebrates by holding Mr. Dinkles, who then sneezes again. Biggie begs Milton for an extra strength cure, but Milton says that if that didn't work, the only thing they can do is separation. This makes Biggie have a mental zone out and he imagines the horrible life without his worm. He refuses to give up, to which Poppy suggests that they should just keep some space between them.
At his pod, Biggie is telling a bedtime story, but Mr. Dinkles can't hear him. He uses a megaphone to tell the story but Smidge yells from her pod to pick a different book, as they have all heard this one before.
The next day, Biggie has found a solution and shows Poppy what it is: keeping his pet in a glass ball. Poppy questions if it is safe, and Biggie says that he does it all the time inside, without questioning about the difference outside. Soon, he finds out as some children knock the worm out of his hand and the ball rolls everywhere. Biggie goes after him and chaos pursues. When Biggie finally catches him, he admits the worm can't control it outside, but he can.
Biggie turns to Branch and asks him to build a ball big enough for him to fit in. Branch doesn't find the request odd, as he'd do the same for Gary, even though Gary is an inanimate object. After Branch is finished, they have a slight error getting it out, and Branch realizes he needs to build it outside.
Biggie is spending time in the ball with Mr. Dinkles. Hug time occurs and Biggie finds he can't hug anyone inside the ball. He then finds he can't play games like hide and seek. He also can't get his favorite ice cream from the vendor because of the glass.
He walks later on with Mr. Dinkles, discussing how the ball is getting in the way of Biggie being able to live a fulfilling life. A bird spots Mr. Dinkles and flies after him. The bird easily dispatches Biggie and has Mr. Dinkles in clear grasp. Biggie can only watch in horror as the bird goes to eat him.
Poppy snatches Mr. Dinkles from the bird's reach and sees off the bird. With the danger gone, Biggie's friends approach. Biggie realizes that living inside the ball is no good for Mr. Dinkles or himself, and tells Poppy to let Mr. Dinkles live with her, thus keeping him safe from dangers including birds and allergies. Biggie says goodbye to the worm.
Just at that moment, Mr. Dinkles sneezes despite Biggie being in the ball. Cooper apologizes, as his fur is an allergy for some critters; Milton gave him some of the elixir to drink to prevent it. Biggie then realizes he didn't use the cure right. He takes some of Cooper's cure and drinks it, and sees that Mr. Dinkles is no longer sneezing upon testing it out. Branch appears and to his horror, Gary sneezes.

*The title is a reference to the play Much Ado About Nothing.
*A medicine that reliefs the symptoms of allergies is called an "antihistamine". Although, such medicines are normally taken by the patient, who in this case would have been Mr. Dinkles.
*The allergy being caused by Troll hair is a reference to how animals such as cats and dogs can cause allergies to humans. Often the allergies are put down to the fur of the animal, but often it's actually often caused by dead skin, which collects on a cat's or dog's fur.
