When Francine and her friends tease George due to his constant nosebleeds, she suddenly vomits in front of everyone, and worries that her friends will make fun of her and constantly avoids them. Francine continues to feel nauseous until she stands up for George when he tells her everyone teases him but not her since she is popular. Mr. Manino, the Sugar Bowl manager, announces that he is retiring and plans to sell the shop to a fast-food chain. Sue Ellen is dismayed by this change and starts a rally for her friends to go on strike and save the Sugar Bowl, but it backfires when everyone except her cannot stay on track. In the end, after recalling the good times he had at the Sugar Bowl with Grandma Thora, Mr. Manino changes his mind and decides to keep the shop open, much to Sue Ellen's delight.
