When another boy finally asks her to the prom, Go-Go's response makes perfectly clear what she thinks of her usual date.

Animal attempts to repair Go-Go's phonograph, but his fix goes hilariously wrong—launching records everywhere. To make up for the damage, Animal suggests a platter party where guests bring records as donations.

By the time the dust settles at the bazaar's treasure hunt, her wild misadventures have actually brought her exactly what she was after, just not in the way she planned.
