The next day, Muffy meets Fern at the Ice Cream Shop and tells her that Binklets by Binky isn't working out for her and even goes as far as to say that she had to pay Binky to stop writing Binklets.

*'''Moral:'''
**Don't overwork others for your own benefits.
**Don't work yourself too hard for someones benefits.
===Cultural references===
*Muffy mentions many real-life holidays, such as {{W|Cinco de Mayo}} and {{W|Valentine's Day}}.
*Fern's line “Someone left your cake out in the rain” refers to the song MacArthur Park which is famous for its odd metaphors.
*Found poetry is an actual writing technique. When Fern presents it, she wears clothes typical for the beat generation, an artistic movement of the 1950s which experimented with new writing styles.
===Errors===
*'''Fern's haiku reads:''' "Dear best friend:'/ Someone left your cake out in the rain. / Smile, it's your birthday!" This haiku has three syllables in the first line and nine in the second. A haiku is supposed to have five syllables in the first line and seven in the second, which Fern even mentions in the episode.
