An adult walking says "Flippity, you're hysterical" and laughs. | |||
After school, Francine goes to the Crosswire | After school, Francine goes to the Crosswire estase and Muffy shows her that the video has 574 views. Then [[Ed Crosswire]] comes in a duck costume for an ad for [[Crosswire Motors]]. It was Muffy's idea. Then Mr. Crosswire adds that Francine is an internet celebrity. Francine says that she still doesn't care so Muffy shows her the comments that people left. One said that Francine should have her own show. | ||
Francine is then brushing her teeth at home | Francine is then brushing her teeth at home and sees Muffy, Binky and Mr. Crosswire saying things about her in the mirror. Francine goes to her room to sleep and flips when she trips on her shoe. [[Catherine]] laughs and says that no wonder everyone likes her video. Francine then has a fantasy where she has her own show. In that fantasy, [[Tibble Twins|the Tibbles]], dressed as cowboys are stealing money from the Crosswires. Suddenly, Francine flips on them and saves the Crosswires.

Then it's lunch time and Francine flips over a table and everyone cheers again. Then [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] says that he will never get tired of this. | ||
At a game, Buster says that he got tired of this. Muffy says that there are 15,000 views of Francine flipping.
