The Trouble with Trophies

Summary
Muffy wants Fern to admit she wants a trophy after George wins a class award for most improved student.

Plot
The episode starts out in Mr Ratburn's class where George won a Thinky award. Later, at the cafeteria, Fern told Muffy she doesn't care about winning trophies and that they are pieces of metal and leaves. At her mansion, Muffy suggests that Fern can have a trophy.

At the Sugar Bowl, Fern was working on a story about Annabelle Fauteuil when Muffy and George presented her a Socky award with Buster on the tuba, but Fern doesn't want one. Then Binky shows up and gets the Socky for having good socks.

At the tree house, Muffy, Buster, and George decided to play Poet Tree. Fern lost the game, but Binky won a feather-like trophy. But then, Binky started rhyming again, much to his horror.

At home, Fern was continuing her story when Muffy rang the doorbell and Fern was given the Meanie award. Fern felt upset. Then, she had an idea for how to end her Annabelle Fauteuil story.

Meanwhile, Muffy was boxing her trophies when Fern arrived. Muffy admitted to Fern being right, and also said her World's Best Daughter trophy was meaningless. Fern says it's not and gives her the Annabelle Fauteuil story which was dedicated to her, and the episode ends.

Errors

Episode Connections
