The next day, Carla's best friend Sue calls her at her house where Carla did not know she had a presentation which almost got her mother fired. She performs very well on the presentation. While Sammy sends the children to school, he went to the laboratory where Chaz has an evil plan to mystify the whole world where Carla and Sammy work together to stop him and they convince him not to do that and they change the world back to normal.
