Summary
When Binky discovers that he's allergic to peanuts, he has many questions: Will he be forced to live without Chinese food? Will he ever again be able to eat with his friends? And most importantly, will his mom ever calm down?
Plot
At the beginning of the episode, Muffy is suntanning on the grass next to the school, talking about getting stuff for the summer and she said a bikini. Then the scene goes to Binky and Molly, who are blowing out spit balls again, then a mysterious butterfly swoops down on Binky's arm. Shortly after red bumps appear. Molly suggests going to the nurse to check it out. Brain and Buster and are shocked to see red bumps on Binky's arm.
In the hospital, the doctor tells Binky that the butterfly wasn't the cause of his allergy, and that he can't eat peanuts anymore because of his being allergic to peanuts. Binky's mom gasped but Binky said he didn't even like peanuts anyway. The doctor then gave him a peanut allergy brochure. At the store, Binky's mom reminds him to read the labels on all the foods. Binky then gets disgusted when he saw something on the jerky called beef lips. At dinner, Binky's mom gave him a chicken cutlet. Binky likes it, but then gets angry at the fact that a peanut-free table was to be made and goes to bed. That night, he had a dream that he's at a peanut-free table being served brussel sprouts. The next day, he was offered his very own phone for emergencies. At the store, he was trying to make up his mind when Jenna arrived and offered to help Binky with his allergy while he buys cashews. At the library, Binky and Jenna were looking at some books when he feels his throat tickle and sees his rashes again. So he gets a shot which relieved him. That night, he had a dream that he was rescued from Dr. Legume by Bionic Bunny. The next day, he decides to throw some peanut-related food away. At school, his mom called him and made sure he's okay.
