In the hallway, Arthur advises Francine to apologize to Fern, but Francine does not show remorse for her actions, instead calling Fern a "quiet little mouse" who should just get over it. Fern overhears this and becomes very angry.

To get back at her, Fern shows her friends a comic she drew of a conceited cow named Frank who makes fun of everybody else. The kids find this hilarious, but when Francine discovers this, she is less than amused and asks if the cow represents her. The kids deny this as Frank is a boy, but Brain teases Francine by saying cows are female and bulls are male, so the comic might be about her. Francine is not amused and angrily storms off. The next day, all the students draw their own depictions of Francine, all of them deciding to give Francine a taste of her own medicine.

Meanwhile, the teachers are preparing for the carnival, so [[Cecilia Tingley|Mrs. Tingley]] comes into the lounge to learn what their plans are. Mr. Ratburn scares her with his "Many-Headed Hydra vs. Sinbad the Sailor" act, and [[Mrs. Sweetwater]] plans on a sing-along. When she sees Mrs. Tingley does not look happy, Mrs. Sweetwater tries to cheer her up with "I Like Fudge" on her guitar, scaring Mrs. Tingley off. She tries to take cover in Mr. Haney's office, only to find that he plans on a magic act where he will saw her in half in box. His demonstration with a board or wood goes badly, scaring her off once again.

===Errors===
