Muffy apologizes, saying that she just wanted Francine's room to look great, and asks Francine to forgive her. Francine does, and apologizes for yelling. Then Francine's Mom calls them for dinner to which Muffy replies "Thank goodness. With all this moving I'm famished." At dinner, Muffy calls the food "vomitrocious" because it's leftovers which means that the food that was cold and other people have touched it. After dinner Muffy complains that there's something wrong with Francine's T.V. because it only gets 3 channels to which Francine saracatically replies that they can get another channel but they have to put the annetna on their heads and dance around and ask her if she wants to try it. Then as Francine and Muffy walk out of her apartment Muffy complains how they dont have no video games and VCR.

Then Mr. Frensky came out and play football with Francine but Muffy wants to go out for ice cream. Francine told her that they cant because it's tuesday and they go out to eat ice cream on fridays. But Mr. Frensky decide to go for ice cream. At the ice cream shop, Francine and her dad have medium size ice cream while Muffy order a ham ripple ice cream with extra sprinkles and nuts. While Muffy is waiting for her ice cream, Francine ask if they can move their ice cream nights to fridays but her father said no because they are only doing this since Muffy is over and trying to keep or comfortable since she is their guests and it's kind of hard for her to live in a diffrent house. He thinks it also hard for Catherine to be staying at Muffy's but it shows that she is doing fine.
