Summary

Francine makes a bet with Catherine that she can fast through Yom Kippuur with her and her parents, but Arthur's pizza party is on the same day.

Plot

At the beginning, Francine's family get ready for the big Jewish holiday Yom Kippuur. Catherine makes Francine dust the furniture. Francine thinks she has it all hard, but Catherine says she has it hard by fasting. Francine thinks she can fast better than Catherine so they both make a bet. Then Bubby arrives and greets everyone. After that she takes the duster out of Francine's hand.

At school, Muffy is surprised that Francine's family won't drink or eat on Yom Kippuur. Arthur said his Turkish pen-pal Adil Akyuz also fasts a whole month during Ramadan. Arthur gives Francine Adil's e-mail address. Then Buster eats Francine's desert to help her train. At home, Arthur gets a call from Pizza Paula's saying he's having a pizza party with his friends and they'll be taking a picture of everyone eating the pizza. Arthur sends e-mail to Francine.

Francine is excited, but remembered she made a bet with Catherine with fasting on Saturday. She goes to Bubbie and hangs her head. Bubbie thinks Francine is think so she gets a thermometer, but Francine says Arthur's having a pizza party on Yom Kippuur and that it's too late to change the date. Catherine tells Francine that she wouldn't be able to fast on Saturday, but Francine tells her that as longs as Catherine's not eating, she's not eating.

After being Congregation Shaaray Shalom she tells Catherine that she's going to be able to fast. Her dad compliments her and she sticks her tongue out at Catherine. The next day is Yom Kippuur and Francine wakes up not hungry at all. She says it'll be easy, but Catherine gives expressions that relate to food, but Francine just ignores her. At synagogue, her stomach growls so Bubbie thinks a dog is in the temple so they two of them go home.

At home, Francine watches T.V., but all the shows have food advertisements. She decides to read. Most of the books have titles relating to food, but Francine's finds "Little Dorrit" by Charles Dickens. But while she reads, the sentences have food listed so the lies back with her stomach growling. Then she e-mails Adil for advice. Adil says that during Ramadan, he tries not to think about food by visiting friends.

Francine thinks Arthur and his friends are done with the pizza so she visits Arthur for company. It turned out that Arthur had pizza in his hand. Arthur invites Francine in and sees everyone eating pizza. Soon, it was time to take pictures of everyone eating pizza. The camera lady gives a slice of pizza and Francine accidentally devours the slice and imagines Catherine and Bubbie have found out she ate on Yom Kippuur. She goes disappointingly until she finds Bubbie eating in Yom Kippuur too. But Bubbie knew she ate some of Arthur's pizza because she had a mushroom on her shirt.

Francine thought she was a failure, but Bubbie says you shouldn't really fast until you're 13. She sees Catherine eating something, but really she was making cake for Francine for fasting. But Francine knows the truth and tells Catherine she ate Arthur's pizza, but Catherine says she didn't make it her first time either. She offers Francine a lick of the spoon.

Then for dinner, no one ends up fasting and they all have pizza. Bubby, like in the scene where she accuses Francine of failing to fast in the cloud like an angel, says grandfather would be so proud of Francine and Catherine before the end of the episode.
