To avoid getting graded on a bad cooking project, Kirby fakes an illness and is sent to the nurse who takes his fabricated over-the-top symptoms seriously. When the school finds out he supposedly has a serious illness, they shower him with sympathy, gifts and host a fundraiser to raise money to help him get better leaving Kirby worried that his secret will be exposed.

Kirby wins tickets to a video game convention but can't decide on whether he should take Fish or Eli. To help make his decision, he envisions how the day might go with each of them. Dawn also takes part in the convention when she lands a job dressing up as a comic-book character.
