| - [The episode begins with a view of a leaf as it flies across the sky. It floats down to the backyard of Tommy's house and past Spike's doghouse, where Spike is sleeping. Eventually it lands near the window of the basement, where a vacuum tube opens it and sucks the leaf up. Stu looks out the window, and the leaf comes out another tube and lands in one of the baskets of his latest invention, the Power Picker 2000, or the PP2K for short. Stu is now holding a screwdriver as he tightens a screw on the PP2K.] Stu: "That ought to do it! Okay, Deed, the Power Picker 2000's all set! Let's go pick apples!" [As Stu calls Didi, one of the vacuum tubes of the PP2K turns to his necktie and sucks it up. He grunts as he struggles to pull it out, and another vacuum tube tries to suck up his hair. In the next scene, two apples fall into a basket filled with apples. Many children and adults are in the park, picking apples. The camera zooms in on Didi, who is holding Dil, who is dressed in a leaf costume, in her arms. Stu is under a tarp, working on the PP2K as Betty and Howard are in the tree near him and Didi, picking apples from it. Angelica is sitting on a blue blanket near the tree. Didi hums as she carries Dil to his seat on the blanket, and Dil giggles. Didi stops at a basket.] Didi: Oh, these macintosh look delicious! [Didi picks up an apple and eats it. The camera moves over to a horse pulling a hay cart that Lou, Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil are all riding. Lou chuckles. He is revealed to be reading a pop-up book of The Princess and the Pea.] Lou: "Hey, here's a good one!" (Reading wearily) "So the queen put the tiny pea under the mattress." [Lou falls asleep and snores. The camera moves down to Phil and Lil as the latter applauds.] Lil: "Oh! I think this is one of the most wonderfullest times I ever had!" Phil: The parade's gonna be even funnerer! I can't wait to wear one of those funny-looking clothes Tommy's mom's making us!" [A view of Tommy and Chuckie is now shown. The former is holding his Reptar doll in his arms, and the latter is dressed in a brown sweater.] Chuckie: "I never been in a parade afore! I'm so excited!" Tommy: "Me too, Chuckie! Boy, fall sure gots lots of fun stuff, huh, guys?" [As Tommy and Chuckie toss some hay into the air, Phil and Lil climb up another pile of it.] Lil: Uh-huh!" Phil: "Oh, yeah!" Chuckie: "You said it!" Phil: "Uh, what's a fall?" [Lil turns to face Phil and pushes him. Phil yells as he falls and lands in the hay below.] Lil: "Now you know!" [Phil giggles as Lil jumps and lands near him.] Phil: "I like fall!" Tommy: "No, that's not the kind I'm talking about, you guys! [Tommy picks up some hay and drops it.] Tommy: Fall's the time when all the leaves come off the trees, and you rake em' into a great big pile and jump in em', like we did with my Grandpa!" [Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all yell and laugh as they jump into a pile of hay, causing some of it to fly into the air and land on a sleeping Lou's head. The horse suddenly stops.] Lil: "Hey, why are we stopping?" [Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all crawl to the end of the cart and look outside. The camera zooms out, revealing horse poop, which a man scoops up with a shovel and puts in a wheelbarrow.] Phil: "Oh, now I know just what I want to be when I'm growed up! Look at him!" [The man pushes his wheelbarrow away, and the horse starts moving again.] Phil: "Whoa!" [Phil and Lil laugh as they, Tommy, and Chuckie fall over. Some acorns fall out of Chuckie's pants pocket. He looks over at them, picks them up, and shows them to Tommy, Phil, and Lil.] Chuckie: "Look, guys! My daddy and I found some haycorns in our backyard!" Phil: "Oooh!" Lil: "Prettyful!" Chuckie: "Tonight, we're gonna paint faces on them, with real lips and everything! Tommy: "That's great, Chuckie!" Chuckie: "Boy, it's gonna be so much fun! Just me and my Daddy!" [The horse neighs as it runs past Stu and Didi's car. The camera moves over to Stu, who gets Didi, Betty, and Howard's attention.] Stu: "Apples and worms! I mean, ladies and germs!" [Stu chuckles nervously.] Stu: "Allow me to introduce the Stu Pickles amazing Power Picker 2000!" [Stu pulls the tarp off, revealing the PP2K underneath. Didi and Betty stare in confusion.] Stu: "With 20 gigabytes of horsepower, it's guaranteed to pick apples 200 times faster than the average human!" [Stu presses the button on the remote he is holding, and the PP2K roars into life. Didi and Betty gasp, and the PP2K rolls up to a tree and uses one of its vacuum tubes to pick an apple from it. It then picks another apple with another of its vacuum tubes. The five baskets soon fill up with apples. Didi and Betty walk up to one of the baskets and look inside. A worm crawls atop one of the apples.] Didi: "I... it's very nice, Stu, but do you really think we need that many apples?" [The PP2K soon picks every apple off the tree with its vacuum tubes and rolls up to the ladder Howard is standing on. Howard looks down nervously, and Stu nervously presses the button on his remote, trying to turn the PP2K off.] Howard: "Hey, hey, hey, hey!" [The PP2K runs into the ladder, knocking Howard off it, and causing him to fall.] Howard: "Whoa! Whoa!" [Howard lands in a basket.] Howard: "Ow!" [Some apples land around the basket, which breaks open. The PP2K rolls away.] Stu: "Uh-oh! Looks like there's a couple of kinks to work out." [Stu walks past Howard, who rubs his lower back.] Howard: "I believe you'll find them in my lower back! [The camera zooms out, revealing Betty, Didi, Angelica, and Dil. Angelica is holding candy apple in each hand.] Angelica: "Hey, Aunt Didi, Aunt Betty! Wanna hear the song I'm singing for the fall festival parade?" [Didi and Betty walk up to Angelica.] Didi: "Uh, thank you, Angelica, but we've heard it several times already!" Angelica: All right, I'll sing it again! [Didi and Betty smile nervously.] Angelica (singing off-key): "Fall is here, fall is here, it's a wonderful time of year!" [Angelica takes a bite out of one of her candy apples.] Angelica (singing off-key with her mouth full): "Fall is here, fall is here, it's a wonderful time of year!" [The camera moves over to Dil, who blows a raspberry. Betty turns to face Didi.] Betty: "So, Deed, how are the pups' vegetable costumes coming along, eh?" Didi: "I'm almost done! Oh, the babies are going to look so adorable on the Wombat Cornucopia float! Oh!" [Betty sniffs.] Betty: "You know, I think I smell a change." Didi: "Do you?" [Didi sniffs.] Didi: "I smell it, too! Change is in the air!" Betty: "Whoa! And I thought I had a good sniffer! I was just wondering if Dilly there needed a diaper change!" Didi: "Oh." [Didi sniffs Dil, then turns to face Betty.] Didi: "Ugh. I think you're right!" [Didi picks up Dil and walks away with him. Howard is now back on the ladder as he picks an apple. The camera moves over to Stu, who is working on the PP2K. He grunts as he screws in a screw on the control panel inside. He looks inside, then closes the door. A spring comes loose and bounces inside the control panel. Didi then walks up to Dil, carrying a bottle of formula.] Didi: "There you go, Mommy's big boy!" [As Dil drinks from his bottle, the camera moves over to Chas, who is carrying various gourds in his arms.] Chas: Hi, gang! Oh, boy, isn't the fall grand?" [Chas trips on Howard's ladder, and falls over. The ladder falls over, and Howard screams as he falls and lands on Chas.] Chas: "Sorry, Howard." [Howard groans as he walks away. Didi and Betty walk up to Chas.] Betty: "Hey, you got a heck of a lot of gourds there, Chas, buddy!" Chas: "Oh, yeah!" [Chas scoops up the gourds in his arms.] Chas: "Well, they remind me of Melinda. She loved to garden and grew all her own plants for her arts and crafts!" [As Chas continues talking, Howard puts the ladder back up.] Chas: "It was amazing what she could do with gourds and glitter!" [Dil continues drinking from his bottle, then grunts as he tosses it. It flies through the air and hits the button of the PP2K's remote. The PP2K starts up and rolls away, and Stu chases after it. The horse and cart is now idle, and the camera zooms in on it as Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all laugh as they play in the hay. Suddenly, an apple lands between them. Tommy crawls up to it, and another apple lands between him and Lil. She and Phil look at it in confusion as another apple bounces off Lou's head, waking Lou up.] Lou: "What? What the?!" [The PP2K rolls past the horse and cart, shooting apples from its vacuum tubes. Lou screams and ducks to dodge an apple that flies over his head. The apple hits the horse, who neighs and runs away. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all laugh as they jump in the hay.] Lou: "What in tarnation's goin' on? Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" [Lou falls over as the horse picks up speed. Stu continues chasing after the PP2K.] Lou: "Whoa! Hey! What? Whoa!" [The horse knocks over a ladder, causing it to fall over, and the man on it to hang onto a tree branch.] Lou: "Whoa! Hey! Hold on! Help! Hey!" [Tommy tumbles as Chuckie holds onto the hay.] Chuckie: "We're doomed!" [Stu continues chasing after the PP2K, until he turns to face the horse and cart approaching him.] Lou: "Hold on! Somebody stop this consarned thing!" [Stu stares in shock as the Horse runs into him, knocking him over. Lou grumbles as the PP2K rolls towards Angelica, who turns to face it and drops her candy apples in fear.] Angelica: "Uncle Stu!" [As the PP2K approaches Angelica, the screen fades to black. In the second act, Angelica drops her apples as she did before.] Angelica: "Uncle Stu!" [As the PP2K approaches Angelica, she flinches, but Stu pounces the PP2K and grunts as he shakes it. Didi, Chas, Betty, and Howard all walk up to him and stare in shock. Angelica is about to eat her candy apple, when Dil tosses an apple at her and coos. He laughs, then belches. The horse is now exhausted as it runs across the path.] Lou: "What are you trying to do, send me to an early grave?!" [The horse walks up to its trough of water and takes a drink. Phil and Lil poke themselves out of the hay, and they and Chuckie groan as Chuckie falls off the hay. Tommy groans as he pokes himself out of the hay, and Lou rises out of the hay.] Lou: "Phew! Come on, sprouts! Let's get off this gull-durned cart!" [Lou walks to the other side of the cart. In the next scene, Phil and Lil are out of the cart as Lou picks Chuckie up and sets him down near them. He then picks up Tommy, who is holding his Reptar doll, but then drops it. Lou sets Tommy down and picks up his Reptar doll, which squeaks as Stu runs up to them.] Stu: "Is everybody okay?" Lou: "You and your conflabbed inventions! I almost lost my teeth!" Stu: "I'm sorry, Pop. I guess I set the power a little too high!" Lou: "And yesterday was crossed wires in your lizard contraption at home!" [As Lou continues talking, Tommy stares in shock at him.] Lou: "Why, the dern thing attacked me in the loo!" [As Stu talks to Lou, Tommy walks away.] Stu: "Must have been a glitch in the blueprints. But my animatronic Reptar's gonna be my biggest thing yet! You know they're very interested in it for the EuroReptar theme park they're opening in France!" Lou: "Well, as far as I'm concerned, 'O revere, and good riddance!'" [Lou tosses Tommy's Reptar doll on the ground, which squeaks, and walks away angrily as the horse whinnies and walks away.] Lou: "Oh, that silly, stupid, attacking me, in the loo!" [Stu picks up Tommy's Reptar doll and looks over at Lou. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all walk up to a fence as Chuckie picks a piece of hay out of his hair.] Chuckie: "Boy, that ride was sure scary!" Phil: "Nah, it was fun!" Lil: "I don't think Tommy's Grandpa liked it. He don't look too smiley." [Angelica, who is holding a candied apple, laughs wickedly as she walks up to the babies.] Angelica: "Nice sweater, Finster!" [A goat chews on one of the loose threads of Chuckie's sweater, and the camera zooms out as Chuckie stares in shock at it and screams. Chuckie pulls on the loose thread.] Chuckie: "My new sweater that Grandma maked for me!" [Angelica laughs wickedly and walks up to Chuckie as Tommy also walks up to him.] Tommy: "Hold on, Chuckie!" Angelica: "A goat's eating your sweater!" [Angelica continues laughing wickedly.] Angelica: "You're gonna be nakie in a minute!" [As Angelica continues laughing wickedly, the camera moves over to Tommy, who has no success in biting off the loose thread, due to his lack of teeth. He turns to face Phil.] Tommy: "Phil?" Phil: "Let me at it!" [Phil walks up to Tommy and Chuckie, both of whom are pulling on the loose thread. Phil bites the loose thread, causing it to break and Tommy and Chuckie to fall over.] Chuckie: "Thanks, guys!" [Chuckie groans as Angelica continues laughing wickedly. A chomping noise is then heard from behind.] Angelica: "Huh?" [Angelica looks at her stick, which no longer has her candied apple on it. She turns to face the goat, who ate it.] Angelica: "Give me back my treat! Don't you dumb goats know who I am?" [Lil walks up to Angelica. The goats bleat and eat grass. The camera zooms in on Lil as Angelica turns to face her.] Lil: "She's Angelica." Angelica: "Yeah, the most importantest star of the fall festival parade!" [As Angelica walks up to Tommy and Chuckie, Lucy parks her car in the distance.] Tommy: "We're all gonna be in the parade, Angelica!" Chuckie: "We're doin' all kinds of fun stuffs for fall, huh, guys?" [Lil walks up to Angelica.] Lil: "Do you know about fall, Angelica? It's gots leaves and... things!" Phil: "Tommy telled us all about it!" Angelica: "Of course I know about fall! But there's lots more to it than that!" [Angelica walks up to Tommy.] Angelica: "I bet Baldy didn't yell you that, uh... fall's the time, uh... when, uh... there's lots of changes!" Phil: "Now I knowed it's fall!" [Phil and Lil turn to face each other.] Phil: "Mommy changeded my diapies more numbers than I could count this morning!" Lil: "That's not cause' of fall, Philip. It's cause you eated my box of crayons yesterday night!" Phil: "Oh." [As Angelica talks to the babies, Lucy can be seen talking to Lou in the background.] Angelica: "But the most importantest thing about fall is the parade, [As Angelica continues talking, she walks fancily and takes a bow.] Angelica: "And I'm the star, cause I'm the onlyest one who gets to sing!" Susie: "That's not true, Angelica!" [Susie walks up to Angelica.] Angelica: "Carmichael?! What are you doing here?" Susie: "Pickin' apples with my mom!" [The camera moves over to Didi, Lou, Chas, Betty, Howard, and Lucy.] Susie: "And I'm gonna sing on your Grandpa's float in the parade, too!" Angelica: "My Grandpa would never ask you to sing on my float!" Susie: "It's not your float, and he did so ask me, right after I won the junior talent show!" Angelica: "But he said I was gonna be the star!" Susie: "Well, there must have been a change of plans! See you at the parade, Angelica!" [Susie walks away.] Susie (singing melodiously): "Fall is here, fall is here, it's a wonderful time of year, baby!" [The camera moves over from Angelica to Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil, who all wave goodbye to Susie.] Phil: "That was great!" Tommy: "See you later!" Lil: "Bye, Susie, bye!" Chuckie: "I love it when she sings!" Phil: "Me, too! Sounds a lot better than..." [Before Phil can finish, the camera zooms out, revealing Angelica to be growling and glaring angrily at him. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all walk away.] Tommy: "Well, I guess we'll be seeing you later, Angelica!" Angelica: "Not so fast, Babies!" [Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all stop and turn to face Angelica.] Angelica: "I'm not done tellin' you about fall! Like I said, fall's got changes!" [Angelica walks up to Tommy, Chuckie, Phil and Lil.] Angelica: "So don't be surprised if some pretty awful stuff happens, cause change isn't always good!" [Angelica walks away, and the camera zooms in on Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil.] Chuckie: "Gee, I don't like the sound of that, Tommy!" Tommy: "Aw, don't listen to Angelica! Change don't scare us! Huh, guys? Side's there's one, two, nine, seven! Seven of us! We just gots to stick together and everything'll be just fine!" [In the next scene, Chas is seen driving his car down the road, with Didi in the front seat.] Chas: "Do you mind if we make a quick stop?" [Chas drives his car into the cemetary. He and Chuckie drop gourds and acorns off at Melinda's tombstone.] Chas: "Fall was your mom's favorite time of year. Chuckie, did I ever tell you how your mommy and I met?" [Chuckie looks happily up at Chas. As Chas tells Chuckie the story of how he and Melinda met, the camera zooms in on a picture frame Chas is holding.] Chas: "Well, she was selling organic produce at a swap meet." [The camera zooms in on the other side of the frame, revealing a picture of Melinda holding a gourd with a face on it in it.] Chas: "I took one look at her pretty face and broke out into a cold sweat. Ha! I couldn't even speak, or breathe even! Turned out I was allergic to the adzuki beans and my tongue was swollen the size of a football! She gave me mouth-to-mouth recussitation and the rest was history!" [The wind blows the leaves off a tree as Chas and Chuckie look up at it. Chas then hugs Chuckie.] Chas: "Your mom loved us both so much, Chuckie!" [The camera zooms out, revealing Didi, Betty, and Howard to have watching everything.] Didi: "Charles is such a dear, sweet man! I wish he'd meet someone special." Betty: "Ah, I don't know, Deed. The guy's pretty set in his ways. I mean, come on, he irons his underpants!" [The camera moves over to Howard.] Howard: "Hmmm, so she'd have to be fairly flexible. Hey! How bout' your friend, Lolana?" Betty: "The contortionist?" [Betty nudges Howard with her elbow.] Betty: "Hey, great idea, Howie! Ah, I'll give her a call and see if I can set somethin' up!" [In the next scene, the sound of Phil and Lil giggling can be heard as the camera zooms in on Tommy's house. Inside, Betty is giving Phil and Lil a diaper change as Didi works on the babies' costumes for the fall festival parade..] Betty: "Whoa-ho, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop squirmin' you wiggle worms! Hey, Deed, could you toss me a couple of diapers?" [The camera moves over to Didi.] Didi: "Sure, Betty!" [Didi unzips Betty's diaper bag and pulls out a diaper, surprised when she feels how puffy it is.] Didi: "Gosh, these are awfully puffy! [Didi walks up to Betty and hands her two puffy diapers; one for Phil, and one for Lil.] Didi: "Did you switch brands?" Betty: "Super absorbent. Got em' on sale! 'No leakin', or your money back'!" [Before Betty can put the puffy diapers on Phil and Lil, Chas walks up to Didi, carrying velcro.] Chas: "Here's the velcro you needed for the costumes, Didi!" [Chas grunts as he tries to pull the velcro, which is stuck to his shirt, off it. He eventually gets it off and hands it to Didi.] Didi: "Thank you, Charles." [As Didi walks away, Betty reaches into her purse and pulls out a jar of hair pomade.] Betty: "Hey, Chas, just the man I'm lookin' for! Think fast!" [Betty tosses the jar at Chas, who catches it.] Chas: "What is it?" [The jar of hair pomade is revealed to have a picture of a man with an Elvis-style hairdo on it.] Betty: "Hair pomade! I thought you might like to try out a new do!" Chas: "But why? I've had the same hairstyle since the sixth grade!" [Chas rubs his hair worriedly.] Betty: "Need I say more? I'll give you a hand with you here as soon as I finish diaperin' the pups!" [As Betty puts the puffy diapers on Phil and Lil, Didi walks into the kitchen, and Chas follows her. Betty then follows them, and Phil and Lil look over at them.] Phil: "Well, I wonder where Tommy and Chuckie are." Lil: "Why don't you go find them?" Phil: "Good idea." [Phil tries to get up, but has trouble doing so due to the bulk of his new diaper.] Phil: "Huh?" [As Phil tries to stand up, Lil hums. Phil grunts as he struggles to stand up, and when he finally does, he falls over and the bulk from his diaper hisses. Lil screams when she sees Phil still next to her.] Lil: "Philip, what are you doing here? I thought you leaveded!" Phil: "I was gonna, but I can't get up! Watch!" [Phil tries to stand up, but the bulk of his diaper makes him spin clockwise. He falls over instead.] Phil: "Whoa!" [The bulk of Phil's diaper hisses, and Phil glares at Lil.] Lil: "Oh, okay. Waits there, and I'll pull you onto your feeties!" [Lil grunts as she struggles to stand up, but the bulk of her new diaper makes her fall over instead. The bulk of her diaper hisses, and she groans as she looks over at Phil. Phil and Lil both try to stand up, but the bulk of their diapers causes them to fall over again. As they land on their backs, the bulk of their diapers hiss. All they can do is lie on their backs, kicking their legs helplessly as Tommy and Chuckie, the latter of whom is now wearing his usual light blue shirt with a yellow and red saturn on it, walk up to them.] Tommy: "Hi, guys!" Chuckie: "Hi, guys!" Phil: "Hi, Tommy." [The camera moves over to Lil.] Lil: "Hi, Chuckie." [Chuckie, thinking Phil and Lil are playing a game, walks between them, and lies on his back, kicking his legs like they do.] Chuckie: "Um," [Chuckie giggles.] Chuckie: "What are we playing, guys?" Phil: "We're not playin' nothin'! We can't stand up!" [Chuckie stops kicking his legs, then sits up and gasps in shock. He looks over at Phil.] Phil: "There's somethin' wrong with our diapies!" [The camera moves over to Lil as Chuckie looks over at her.] Lil: "They're too heavy!" [Phil and Lil both grunt as they try to stand up, and Chuckie crawls away just in time as they fall over and land on each other.] Phil: "D'oh!" [The bulk of Phil and Lil's diapers hiss. Tommy walks up to Phil and Lil.] Tommy: "Oh, don't worry, guys! We'll help you!" [Tommy grabs Phil's arms, and Chuckie walks up to Lil and grabs her arms. As soon as they let go, Phil and Lil scream as they fall over again, and the bulk of their diapers hiss again. The camera zooms out, revealing Angelica to have been watching them as she laughs wickedly.] Angelica: "Looks like your Mom bought you babies new diapers!" Lil: "They're not very comfybly!" Phil: "Yeah, they pinch my butt!" Angelica: "Heh! See, I told you, didn't I? Changes can be awful!" [Lil cries, as does Phil when Angelica walks away, humming. Tommy and Chuckie look over at Phil and Lil, whom the camera zooms out on.] Lil: "I don't like these new diapies!" [Tommy walks up to Phil and Lil.] Tommy: "Aw, don't cry, guys! It's gonna be okay! You just gotta get used to em!" [Chuckie walks up to Tommy.] Chuckie: "Yeah! Uh, don't listen to Angelica! It's not so bad!" [As Angelica continues walking away, she turns to face Chuckie.] Angelica: "Not so bad? Well, just wait till' you see your dad!" [The camera moves over to Chuckie, who turns around and walks up to the doorway of the kitchen. In the kitchen, Betty looks over at Chas, who now has an Elvis-style hairdo as Didi is sitting at the table, working on the babies' costumes.] Betty: "Whoa! Hubba hubba, now that's a look!" Chas: "Gee, gee, Betty, I don't really think it's me." [Chas and Betty look at their reflection in a mirror, which the camera zooms out on.] Betty: "Oh, what are you talking about, hunk? It looks great!" [Chuckie smiles in denial at Chas' new look. He walks back up to Tommy, Phil, and Lil, the latter two lying on their backs, kicking their legs.] Chuckie: "Silly Angelica. That's not my daddy! That's some other strange mans named Hunk!" [Chuckie smiles in denial as the camera moves over to Stu, who is dressed in a welding mask, gloves, and apron as he walks into the kitchen. Chas walks up to him.] Stu: "Hey, nice hair, Chas!" Chas: "Gosh, Stu, you really think so?" [The camera moves back to Chuckie, who suddenly frowns and gasps. He looks over at Chas as he and Stu walk into the kitchen, and Spike walks out and lies down for a nap. The camera moves over to Chuckie.] Chuckie: "What am I gonna do, you guys? Angelica was right! My daddy changed a right afore' my eyes!" Phil: "Yeah, I seed him! Huh, and I thought we had it bad!" [Lil screams as she falls over.] Lil: "We do, Philip!" [Chuckie covers his eyes.] Chuckie: "I don't want my daddy to change, you guys! [As Lil talks to Chuckie, she pulls on the front of her diaper.] Lil: And we don't want these plumpy diapies, neither!" [Angelica walks in, holding a half-eaten cookie as she munches on the other half.] Angelica: "Well, you babies better get used to it, cause' things are only gonna get worser!" [Angelica walks away. Tommy and Chuckie gasp, and the camera zooms in on Chuckie.] Chuckie: "Worser?" [The screen fades to black. The third act begins with a view outside Tommy's house as the camera zooms in on it. The sound of Stu drilling can be heard, and inside, he can be seen working on the head of the animatronic Reptar for the fall festival parade. In the kitchen, Betty hums as she massages Chas' new hairdo, and a hot water bottle with a Reptar-themed cover can be seen on it. Chas picks it up.] Chas: "What's this?" [At the other end of the Table, Didi continues working on the babies' costumes.] Didi: "Pop's hot water bottle. I had some material left over after making the kids' pajamas." [The kitchen suddenly rumbles, and the sound of hammering can be heard as Didi, Chas, and Betty all stare in shock.] Betty: "Uh-oh! What's Mr. Wizard working on now, Deed?" Didi: "Stu's building an animatronic Reptar for the parade." Chas: "So Betty, why the sudden interest in my hair, anyway?" [As Betty talks to Chas, she walks to his other side.] Betty: "Eh, hold onto your briefs, buddy, cause' Howie and I are settin' you up!" [Chas gasps.] Chas: "W-with a woman?" Betty: "Of course!" [Betty looks at her watch, then walks out of the kitchen and points at Chas.] Betty: "Whoops! I'd better go whip up a plate of 'Horse-de-overs'! She'll be over here any minute!" Chas: "But Chuckie and I have plans for a craft project tonight! Oh, Didi, do something! I'm really not comfortable with blind dates, or any dates, for that matter!" [As Didi talks to chas, the sound of metallic clattering can be heard in the background.] Didi: "I know this is sudden, Charles, and maybe it wasn't such a good idea for Betty to surprise you, but I'm sure her friend is very nice!" [Betty walks back into the kitchen.] Betty: "Uh-oh! Hey, I almost forgot; when Lolana gets here, have her take her contacts out with her toes! It's a hoot!" [Chas hyperventilates in shock, and Didi brings him a paper bag to breathe into. Chas breathes into the bag, then sits down in the chair in the living room. The camera moves over to Chuckie, who has witnessed this and frowns. Didi sets Dil down in his seat near Betty's purse, then walks back into the kitchen. The sound of a crash can be heard as Chuckie walks up to Tommy.] Chuckie: "Now my Daddy's got funny hair and a bag on his nose! [Lil, who is holding a cookie, grunts as she tries to stand up, but to no avail, due to the bulk of her diaper.] Lil: "You are not the onliest one with problems, Chuckie!" [Lil falls over, and grunts as she tries to stuff a cookie in her diaper, but to no avail.] Lil: "We can't fit nothin' in our new diapies!" [The camera moves over to Phil.] Phil: "Yeah, they take up too much room themselves!" [Tommy stands up.] Tommy: "Okay, guys, I think it's time we figured out a way to fix all the stuff that's gone wrong!" Chuckie: "But how, Tommy?" Tommy: "Well, let's see. Um, Chuckie," [Tommy walks up to Chuckie.] Tommy: "Maybe your daddy would look more like your daddy if we gaved him a comb!" [Lil gasps and tries to stand up upon hearing this.] Lil: "I know where one of those is!" [Lil reaches into Betty's purse and pulls out a comb.] Lil: "Combie, combie!" [Lil hands Tommy the comb.] Lil: "Here, here!" [Lil hands Tommy the comb, which he hands to Chuckie.] Tommy: "Here, Chuckie. You go comb your daddy's hair," [Tommy turns to face Phil and Lil and points at them.] Tommy: "And we'll find something you guys can fit in your diapies!" [Chas, who is no longer hyperventilating, is sitting in his chair as Chuckie crawls up to him with a comb in his hand. Dil coos as he sits in his seat, and the camera zooms out, revealing Lil trying to fit her bottle in her diaper, while Phil tries to fit a book in his. The doorbell rings, and Tommy, Phil, Lil, and Dil all stare in shock. Betty opens the door, and her friend, Lolana is next to her, carrying a plate of Hors d'oeuvres on her head as she walks on her hands. Betty points at Chas.] Betty: "There's the man of the hour! Hey, everybody! I'd like you all to meet my good friend, Lolana! [Chuckie turns to face Lolana and screams when he sees her. Chas turns the chair and screams when he sees Lolana as well. Tommy, Phil, and Lil all scream when they see Lolana as well, and Spike awakens and wimpers when he sees Lolana. Didi, who is carrying a cup of coffee, walks into the living room, gasps, and drops her coffee when she sees Lolana. Lolana is walking on her hands as she has her legs tied behind her back and the plate of Hors d'oeuvres on her head.] Lolana: "Hors d'oeuvres, anyone?" [Lolana walks up to a nervous Chas.] Chas: "No, uh, no, no thanks, I'm, see, I'm, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not really hungry." [Betty takes the plate of Hors d'oeuvres off Lolana's head. Lolana untangles herself and does a backflip. She blows a kiss, then leans at Chas.] Lolana: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's hit the dance floor!" [Didi watches as Lolana pulls Chas by the suspenders of his overalls and out the front door.] Chas: "It looks like Daddy's going out." [Chas grabs the inside of the doorway and pulls himself in.] Chas: "Be good, Chuckie!" [Lolana pulls Chas away as Didi walks up to the front door. Chuckie frowns as he stands up. He walks up to the window and looks out it. He, Didi, and Betty all watch as Chas looks back at them, and Lolana, whose car has pretzel license plates, drives it away. Phil and Lil turn to face Tommy, and Phil points at him.] Phil: "Whoa! That was the twistiest lady I ever seed!" [The camera zooms out as Chuckie walks up to Tommy, Phil and Lil, who all turn to face him.] Chuckie: "Aw, great! Now my daddy's spending time with tangly womens! He's never done anything like that afore, Tommy!" [The phone rings.] Chuckie: "This is real bad!" [Lou, who is watching a fish show on television, turns to look in the kitchen.] Lou: "Doesn't anyone around here know how to answer a phone?" [As Lou walks up to the phone, Tommy's Reptar doll can be seen in the hallway.] Lou: "Why do I always have to be the one to..." [Lou steps on Tommy's Reptar doll, causing it to squeak.] Lou: "Ow! Conflab Reptar!" [Lou grunts as he tosses Tommy's Reptar doll into the living room, and Tommy, Phil, and Lil all see this. Lou answers the phone.] Lou: "Hello?" [At Withering Oaks, Miriam is seen eating from a box of chocolates.] Miriam: "Lou! It's Miriam!" [Miriam tosses a piece of chocolate into her mouth.] Lou: "Oh, hi! What do you want?" Miriam: "I see you're still the old charmer!" [Miriam laughs. In the basement of Tommy's house, Stu is still working on the head of the animatronic Reptar. Lou walks up to the doorway and shakes his fist in anger, as the construction noises are bothering him.] Lou: "Will you cut the gull-dern racket?! I'm talkin' on the phone!" Miriam: "And I'm all settled in my new digs. Well, why don't you swing by and have a look-see?" Lou: "It'll have to wait, I'm phonin' up on my scooter tricks for the parade! Uh, I'm leadin' the Wombat float, you know." [As Miriam talks to Lou, she walks up to her back door.] Miriam: "Well, stop by on by to Withering Oaks," [A view outside the back door is shown, where a man is seen popping a 360-degree wheelie in a golf cart.] Miriam: "And I'll introduce you to a guy who can pop 360's in his golf carts! Ha! Lou, this place is for you! It's got 'Lou Pickles' written all over it!" [As Lou talks to Miriam, he covers his ears as Stu continues working on the head of the animatronic Reptar.] Lou: "Put on your glasses, Mim! It says 'Retirement Home'. No thanks! You're not puttin' me out to pasture!" [In the living room, Chuckie sits unhappily as he drops his acorns. He picks them up and looks over them.] Chuckie: "We was opposed to paint faces on the haycorns tonight!" [In the basement, Stu is still working on the head of the animatronic Reptar. The camera moves over to the power matrix, which becomes overloaded and sounds an alarm.] Lil: "I wish I never hearded about fall!" [Phil tries to stand up, but falls over, and Tommy catches him.] Phil: "Yeah! Oh, this stinks!" Tommy: "Hey, guys, I-I know things haven't been going too good lately, but... I-I betcha anything they're gonna get better! [Tommy and Phil flinch as the sound of an explosion can be heard. Spike wimpers as he runs into the kitchen. Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, and Lil all walk into the kitchen, stare in shock, and gasp. The camera zooms out, revealing a big, gaping hole in the kitchen, caused by the explosion of the overloaded power matrix of the head of the animatronic Reptar. Didi, Betty, and Lou walk up to the hole, and as Didi and Betty stare in shock and Lou dusts off his shoulders, a chair falls into the hole. Stu climbs out of the head of the animatronic Reptar and lifts his welding helmet as the camera zooms out on him.] Stu: "Sorry about that, Pop." [Lou's face turns magenta with anger.] Chuckie: "Gee, Tommy, your Grandpa's face is turnin' a funny color!" Phil: "That would be magenta!" Miriam: "Hello? Lou? Are you there? Oh, for crying out loud, would you say something?" Lou: "That does it! Mims, find me an apartment! I'm moving out!" [Lou walks away and drops the phone in anger.] Miriam: "Hello? Are you there? Hello?" [As Didi and Betty walk away, the camera zooms out and Chuckie turns to face Tommy, Phil, and Lil.] Chuckie: "Did you hear that? Your Grandpa's gonna move, Tommy! Now do you believe Angelica's right?" [Tommy walks away sadly, and Chuckie shudders.] Chuckie: "This changin' stuff is the worstest!" [Tommy walks up to his Reptar doll and picks it up as the camera zooms out on him.] Tommy: "Grandpa's movin?" [Tommy hugs his Reptar doll, and a view outside Tommy's house is shown as leaves blow in the wind. As the camera moves up to the sky, a caption that says, TO BE CONTINUED appears onscreen, and the screen fades to black. In a sneak preview of the next part, "Fall Stinks, a deleted scene is shown of Betty changing an angry Phil's diaper on the couch as a caption that says, NEXT TIME ON RUGRATS appears at the top of the screen. In the next scene, Tommy and Chuckie are in the kitchen, cheering as Phil and Lil dance until Phil falls over and spins clockwise.] Angelica: "That's all for now, but stick around if you want to see some parts of tomorrow's episode!" [In the next scene, Tommy is now is his new room, which was once Lou's room as he watches Stu and Drew load Lou's moving van, then turns to face Chuckie.] Tommy: "I can't believe my Grandpa's really leaving!" [In the next scene, Lou is dancing with an elderly lady, and the other elderly couples grunt as they knock them over.] Elderly Lady: "Whoa!" [In the next scene, Dil giggles, and in a deleted scene after, Betty puts Howard in a headlock and points at him.] Betty: "Ha, gotcha!" [In the next scene, Chas is with a lady on stilts, and as the lady on stilts walks away, Chas holds onto one stilt and slides down it. In the scene after, a lady is driving a motorcycle with Chas in the passenger seat as the bolt connecting the motorcycle and its passenger seat unscrews, causing Chas to roll straight as the lady driving the motorcycle turns left. In the following scene, an ambulance blares its siren as it drives up to Withering Oaks. Stu has just taken Tommy and Chuckie, dressed respectively in corn and pumpkin costumes as Dil, who is dressed in a potato costume, is still sitting in his car seat. They all watch nervously as parametics wheel Lou a way on a hospital bed. Tommy and Chuckie stare at each other, then the screen fades to black, ending the episode.]
