However, nothing really works out. Sue Ellen is interested in purchasing an accessory for her doll, but when it becomes discontinued (including its whole country), she decides on another solution. Francine ends up buying a doll (so she can get the book she came with), and a new "country" is opened every time the girls turn their backs.
