We find Benedict jumping to a wrong conclusion and almost ruining the class Halloween party. He assumes he was not invited to the party but he saw the invite list before it was finished. He took some negative action that upset the other Eggs.

Peggy returns home to help work things out with her parents. But, Benedict has his own issues to resolve - he refuses to play on a baseball team with girls and a girl coach! He learns an important lesson in acceptance and realizes how wrong he was.
As Earth Day approaches, Ms. Poach challenges the Eggs to design a project that would help clean up the environment. The Eggs come up with a school-wide recycling project, but Benedict comes up with a project that nearly rushes his dog, Scrambler, to the pet hospital!

The Eggs enter the Albumen Fun Run contest in order to raise money for the children at the hospital. They train hard, but Benedict just cannot complete the mile. He ends up finding his confidence in an unlikely place. Peggy also finds confidence to deal with her situation at home.
