Francine & the Soccer Spy

After the Lakewood team loses a soccer game, Francine encourages the team to practice more. At her house, Ladonna is told of a new student named Danny Torres moving to the neighborhood and going to dinner with them. Back at the soccer field, Francine shows a plan for her soccer game, and does not want anybody not on the team to know about it; Ladonna leaves practice to meet with Danny. Francine is suspicious and goes to Ladonna's house, finding Ladonna and Danny playing soccer, and suspects that Danny is "on the team."

At school, Francine tells Muffy that Ladonna is a spy. Muffy thinks that Francine is overreacting, and Francine goes to spy on Ladonna and Danny. Danny gives Ladonna a Mighty Mountain shirt, which Francine takes a picture of and uses as proof. In the Ice Cream Shop, Francine holds a meeting and shows a badly-taken picture that does not actually prove her point.

Francine gives Ladonna a fake plan for her soccer team, suspecting her to tell Danny about it. She follows her to the Elwood City Public Library and later sees her giving Danny a paper. At the soccer field, Danny reveals that the paper Ladonna gave her was an invitation to her house. Francine apologizes and shakes hands with Danny.

At Ladonna's house, she and her friends play charades. After Ladonna charades a soccer game, Danny and Francine go out to play soccer.
