Summary
Fern receives the latest phone for simple communication, but becomes addicted to the appliance.
Plot
The episode begins in the cinema. Muffy, Fern and others are watching a film when Chip, Muffy's brother, calls. Muffy answers the phone during the movie, which causes everyone else to leave. They are later seen eating in Chicken Lickin', where Muffy is texting Bailey (who is just outside the restaurant) which ends in Fern getting annoyed and leaving. Muffy shows Fern her new phone, the Portilex 360. Despite initially voicing contempt for the phone, the consumerism it generates and the fact that seemingly everyone has one, thus limiting social opportunities, Fern receives a Portilex from her parents, a happen-stance that she initially bemoans.
In light of this, Fern eventually becomes glued to the phone after being lulled by its extensive panoply of features. She uses the Portilex almost constantly, and even lands herself in trouble with Mr. Ratburn when she uses the phone in class.
When the battery begins to run low during a heated talk with Muffy, Fern frantically attempts to recharge it, but the phone is destroyed when she trips and loses it under the drum of a road roller. Fern's parents are disappointed that Fern did not stick to the phone's bare mandatory purpose, and so Fern decides upon a simple, no-frills model, deciding that she would be happier with that. The episode ends.
