When assigned to write and recite essays about their pets, Spot tries to pass Mr Jolly off as his pet cat while Leonard writes about Pretty Boy. Spot and Leonard get competitive as they realize the best story will get published in a magazine.

Leonard mentions to the cool kids what he knows about lip gloss, and one of them, Spot, tells Leslie. She puts some on, which causes a rumour to start that Leonard and Leslie kissed.

Scott masquerades as his mother for a parent-teacher conference.
