The episode starts in the ice cream shop, with Buster figuring out what to order. He orders a complicated, and strange order that's obviously unstable. When explaining how he's going to eat it to Arthur, it falls onto the floor. He performs a trick with paddles to get the ice cream back on the cone. "Looks like I picked up some extra nuts," says Buster, as takes a lick, disgusting Arthur. | The episode starts in the ice cream shop, with Buster figuring out what to order.

In the school cafeteria: Arthur, the Brain, and Buster invite Francine to sit at their table during lunch. They ask her some questions (like "Is your tongue coated?") Francine asks why they're acting so weird. The Brain explains that they just want her to be ready for the bowling tournament on Saturday. A series of flashbacks of matches against Mighty Mountain are played. Muffy comes along and they make her their fashion consultant. | |||
That night, Francine is practicing bowling in her room with Polly Locket dolls as the pins. [[Laverne Frensky]] walks in and tells her she can't go bowling on Saturday because of her cousin's Bar Mitzvah. Francine protests, but her mom tells her she'll enjoy it. | That night, Francine is practicing bowling in her room with Polly Locket dolls as the pins.

=== Cultural References === | |||
* The conversation in the cafeteria lampshades a common trope in TV series: The plot “hero beats dreaded rival against all odds” is used so often, that you wonder why the rival was ever dreaded. | |||
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jai_alai Jai Alai] (the game at which Mighty Mountain actually won) is a Spanish/Latin American ballgame somewhat similar to squash. | |||
===Episode Connections=== | |||
*The events of ''[[The Big Blow-Up]]'' (beating MM at soccer) and ''[[Friday the 13th]]'' (beating MM at baseball) are brought up. The Jai Alai tournament was not featured on the show. | |||
