## Plot

The episode begins with a very tired Blooper shown up to school for the third day, as he, Carl, and their friends wonder if Roxanne is doing okay. Everyone (except for Boo) are shocked to see Roxanne, in her getup, which also impressed Ruby, Mark, and Roberto as she approached to Oscar and Janie, they begin to gossip with her about the fight with Gooper during the bowling alley game on Valentine's Day. As she is no mood for their interview, Gooper and his gang shows up then the two left, as Gooper digs the new hair color while Mary-Lynn shows up in Blonde dye, Liam and Bob were impressed with the new Roxanne but not so much for Flaig (as he gets threatened to be KO'd by Gooper if he doesn't shut up.) As she kissed Gooper, Carl and others were shocked to see her.

As the lesson begins at Mr. Morris' class on Computer Networks, but the students prefer to do coding over this lesson. As he explains about the four different types of network, Blooper gets picked to answer with Local Area Network (which is one of the correct answers.) As Morris picks Roxanne for another answer, she was listening to music on her phone before getting called out the second time as she started to give attitude to the teacher, demanding her to turn the music off or face the consequences of her actions. Morris tells her to give her the phone till the end of class, she retaliates back at him as if he needed her phone for her personal photos, then he tells her that he was faithful to his marriage until the missus cheated on the hothead of a teacher. Instead of giving it to Morris, Roxanne throws her phone at his eye, knocking him down while in his chair as her classmates laugh at his misfortune, then he sends Roxanne to Staffordshire's office. Even though what the new Roxanne just did, wasn't funny to Carl and Blooper.

As she was sent to the office of Principal Staffordshire, Roxanne is not caring what she had to say about her. Staffordshire tells her that she's a top student but wasn't expecting her to behave like that. She tells Roxanne that the new attitude of hers "stops now!" as the principal tells her that not allow to throw things at Mr. Morris during class. As Roxanne makes fun of her age, Staffordshire gave her detention for a night but the more futher provocative comment the troublemaker made, the principal gave her two weeks detention. After telling Roxanne to get out of her office, she got upset which Staffordshire noticed the greys in her hair.

After getting done with a visit to Staffordshire's office, Roxanne hearing the voice of Sherri-Lynn, as she also brought along Amy-Lynn, as they were impressed with her troublemaking attitude, although Roxanne didn't liked to make the principal cry. The two asked her of how things are going with Gooper as she tells him that how Grace, Talia and Kylie tells Roxanne that she gotta break up with him, but Amy-Lynn tells her that don't worry about they had to say. As Grace enters to see if she wants to hang out at the lake after school, but Roxanne tells her that she's leaving with the Hatchins Duo for the day, although tells her that she'll text her when she gets home.

After school in the rainy day at Goomburger. Carl (who brought along Marvin) and Blooper tells Dry Bones and Boo what the two saw what Roxanne had did. Even though Carl didn't know what just happened to her, he knows that Gooper is ruining Roxanne's life as she blew off Grace. While he asked Blooper if she said anything to him, but he tells Carl that the two just hadn't talk in a while which Dry Bones wishes Talia is still here at Toad Town as she is the one who helps with an advise. As he gets asked about Talia, Dry Bones tells Blooper that the two hadn't spoken in a month as she was offline although he had an idea about visiting Talia in an all-girl school. When Boo asked if he can join Dry Bones, Blooper tells him that he only wanted to do this to be a simp and Carl questions his idea as he brought up the time Dry Bones cheated on Talia.

Later at Night as the sky clears up around an all-girl school, Tracy checks on her as Talia is officially finished with her essay of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"...in Spanish as she wanted her to come watch Netflix with her, but Talia will get the summer-off if she gets a C. Then she gets a message from Dry Bones as he messages her non-stop for two weeks. As Tracey wanted to know why did she break up with Dry Bones, Talia tells her that he cheated on her with Kylie as much as Tracey wanted to kick his ass, she wouldn't allow it because it was all in the past. Although she tells her roommate that even thought she loves Dry Bones, at the same time that she needs space sometimes, then Tracey tells her to be excited for the party her friends are throwing next weekend which Talia is looking forward to it as Ronald isn't here with her.

Next day in Toad Town High as she was talking to the Hatchins duo, Roxanne (who got purple streaks on her hair) gets a word in edgewise from Staffordshire as the principal didn't see her in detention, in case she ditches her punishment again, she is going to make her go to school on spring break. After Staffordshire got done with reminding her, Roxanne tells the two that she needs to be taught a Lesson. Meanwhile in history class as Mr. Moore discusses to his students about Second Troopa War (lasted only two years), Oscar & Janie tells everyone to come outside as they're witnessing Roxanne is destroying Staffordshire's car with a baseball bat. Even though Staffordshire threatens her with suspension, Roxanne tells her that she did something worst to Mr. Morris' car as she sent it to the pond, yikes!

As Carl and Blooper were discussing each other about Roxanne, Dry Bones and Boo are in disguise as women as the two are about to go in Talia's school. Carl tells Dry Bones to let Talia by herself for a while as he is trying to stop Dry Bones from making an ass of himself, but Boo defended Dry Bones' plan. After the two walked away, Roberto asked Carl and Blooper about the two (disguised as) hot girls. Meanwhile at Staffordshire's office, she and Mr. Morris talking to the Roxanne's Parents, Catherine and Danny, about their daughter's behavior. As Morris tells them about what had she done with her car, Linda was more concerned with the tadpoles. As Morris left, Calvin suggested to bring Roxanne in for police custody, but Cathrine told him that he broke mailboxes when he was young. The principal's boyfriend, Felix, tells the parents that they want to help Roxanne, as Staffordshire tells Catherine about the changes which Calvin tells them about her hair, but got roasted by Catherine as everyone but him has got hair. As Linda and Felix guessing that the behavior was because of Gooper, Catherine tells him that he's a polite young man but Staffordshire disagreed with her opinion on Gooper. Staffordshire warns the parents that her behavior should improve if she is to have a future in this school, then Catherine and Danny left the office. After they're gone, Staffordshire considers to expel her but Linda beg that she's going through the rough patch. After hearing what Felix had to say, Staffordshire gave her a week suspension from school as Calvin was unfazed by her suspension, then the two got in the argument (not about politics but) doing each other's jobs.

Later while sitting on the bench, Dry Bones and Boo were seen by Coach Johnson, as he thinks they're actually ladies until the ghost says his name as he is waiting to get a bus ride home since his mother couldn't pick him up today. Dry Bones tells the coach that he and Boo going ot Shiitake Town to see Talia as the Coach is very supportive of their love as he did the similar thing as a kid but the girl he was in love with acted like that nothing had ever happened as she moved Schools. As the Bus arrives, Johnson wished Dry Bones best of luck with Talia and always come to him if it doesn't work out, then the three got on the bus to their locations.

Evening at Goomburger, Liam congratulates his sister on her first suspension as Gooper asked if she wanted to go during her suspension, Bob suggested Toad Harbor as he wanted to buy the cheaper drugs of the location...the Super Mushrooms. Then Grace enters Goomburger to check on Roxanne, as she asked her why would she attack Staffordshire's car, but Gooper rudely tells her that Roxanne doesn't want to talk about it. As she tries to help Roxanne, Sherri-Lynn and Amy-Lynn tells her to go away as they say that she doesn't care about her opinions. After Grace says she was wants to help, Amy-Lynn yells that she is not and tells her Roxanne is their friend now, then Grace ran off crying out the doors. As she thinks about apologizing to Grace, the gang tells her that Grace is best left ignore.

As Grace is tells them that she just changed, Kylie isn't going to let what happened during Goomburger slide, warns that her confrontation will not be pretty at the next time she sees Roxanne as Carl agrees with her on as he would treat her like Gooper since Roxanne wanted to act like her boyfriend. Grace begs him to not hit Roxanne with a barstool, thinking back to what he had done to 2019. As Kylie takes Grace to her favorite candy store to cheer her up, Blooper confessed to Carl that after he and Grace went home, he kissed Roxanne which shocks Carl, but the squid continues on he rejects her as he sees this as wrong. Carl angerly tells him that he should've had Roxanne's back, then calmly tells him that Gooper is to blame, not him as he suggested that the two needs to get through Roxanne.

As the three girls are waiting on Gooper, the Hatchins duo started to slander Kylie, who was minding her business until she gets called out by Sherri-Lynn as she started to confront Roxanne on how she made Grace cry.
