The next day, while everyone is working on their assignment, Francine is watching the football game on TV. She gets called in by her sister [[Catherine Frensky|Catherine]], who tells her that she found a website that might help her with her assignment. Francine was surprised and tells her that this is her assignment, as it was the website she had copied it from. Catherine is surprised, and when Francine tells her how she composed her paper, Catherine tells her that she can't use someone else's work as her own, and explains that doing so is plagiarism. Francine is horrified to learn that she unknowingly stole someone else's work and could be suspended if she is caught, and Catherine urges her to tell Mr. Ratburn what happened. At dinner, Mr. Frensky, Francine's father, talks about "stealing" a recipe he used to make dinner. This causes Francine to feel guilty about her assignment. She asks to be excused from the dinner table, and then rides her bike to Mr. Ratburn's house. | The next day, while everyone is working on their assignment, Francine is watching the football game on TV.

On Monday morning, Francine gets to class early, tells Mr. Ratburn about her accidental plagiarism and gives him a different report.
