At the beginning of the episode, we see Francine climbing up a tree, through Arthur's window. Despite this, Arthur does not seem to notice Francine at all. Francine then screams, which now Arthur seems to hear. He goes down to the backyard with [[Pal]] and doesn't seem to find anything. While Arthur is in the backyard, Francine climbs back up and sneaks into Arthur's room and takes out a pair of [[Bionic Bunny]] underwear which she declines, and then takes out a pair of socks, one black and one white. It turns out to be a dare, from one of the girls at Francine's sleepover. Francine than asks Muffy, "Truth or Dare?" Muffy replies truthfully, in which Fern asks has she ever lied before. Muffy then takes a great insult that Fern would even suggest that she would do that, but eats her own words when Francine reminds her of a time when she lied in second grade. | At the beginning of the episode, we see Francine climbing up a tree, through Arthur's window.
