Gabby is determined to win first prize in a scavenger hunt after learning that her rival Pamela has a new car on the way. When Gabby attempts to use a love potion on Taffy to make him her compliant partner, the concoction backfires spectacularly, causing chaos at a nightclub. In "Treasure Bent," Gabby joins a scavenger hunt competition where her competitive nature and desperation to beat Ashley Hartburn lead to comedic complications, though she ultimately learns that winning Taffy's affection through genuine means is more valuable than any prize.
