A down-in-the-dumps George decides not to speak to his friends until they notice him.

After the title card, Binky and his friends are playing hide and seek, leaving George out. He got angry and left. Later, George and Wally are talking and George decides not to talk until everyone notices. Then Sue Ellen shows up and sees that George is ignoring her. At woodworking class, he didn't speak to his dad. At lunch, he was offered babagoulash by Mrs. MacGrady. Meanwhile, George's friends plan to give him a party. At home, George and Wally were on the couch when Sue Ellen called for help on her woodworking project. George was disappointed to hear that. That night, he dreamed he was shown what the world would be like if he didn't exist. When he woke up, he realized he does matter. At school, George's friends hide their surprises from him. George felt sad. Later, George and Wally were at the bridge when Sue Ellen came. George accidentally dropped Wally, but she rescued him. Later, the party was a success and everyone plays hide-and-seek.

===Background===

*This episode is heavily referencing the classic 1940s Frank Capra movie "{{w|It's A Wonderful Life}}", and it is the second episode to do so. The first one is "[[Thanks a Lot, Binky|Thanks a Lot, Binky."]] However, the references to the film is a bit more obvious in this episode.
