There’s a raccoon soap opera in the trash bin as Linda yammers away on the phone to her friend Ginger who has to take her kid to a slumber party. Louise thinks slumber parties are like diarrhea, but Tina says they are the cats pajamas, especially when she wears her cat pajamas. And she knows, because she has been to one-and-a-half slumber parties (she gives half credit to falling asleep at a regular party).

Linda thinks Louise should have a slumber party and invite the girls in her class, but Louise thinks the girls in her class are boring because the only thing they think about is “Stickers, stickers, stickers, stickers, stickers.” Which, yeah. I still have my sticker collection. And what of it? But Linda thinks Louise needs a BFF. “You gotta slumber through a lotta parties to meet your Ginger.” Gene already has a BFF, his imaginary adult albino friend who also does hip hop.

Linda took matters into her own hands and invited Louise’s class over for a slumber party. Louise tries to escape, but there are just too many of them. First up is a slumber party fashion show which is Louise’s idea of hell. Louise breaks down the guest list for Linda—there’s Harley, as in Harley ever shuts up, Jodi the Germaphobe, Abby who braids everything, and Bland Jessica. “If she was a spice, she’d be flour.”

Next, tie dye! Louise would prefer actual dying. Gene wants a shirt, too, so he can make the psychedelic crop top of his dreams. Louise is left alone with her classmates and it drives her to the brink. “It’s time to turn the slumber party into a going away party.” Next activity is frosting cupcakes. This allows Louise to put her plan into action. First, she tells Jodi that Linda has several varieties of infections, which is enough to send her home. Round Two goes down during the movie portion of the movie. She tells Harley that Gene’s twin lives in the basement, with a hump and a stump. Harley wants to go home, so Bob goes on another run. Abby tags along because Louise won’t let her braid her hair. So that leaves Jessica.

Meanwhile, one of the trash raccoons is under Bob and Linda’s bed. Linda lured him in with cold cuts because the other raccoon, El Diablo, tried to attack him. Something tells me this raccoon is not going to mix well with the children.

By day, Jessica is redheaded wallpaper. By night, she pokes around other peoples’ houses. She left Louise a walkie talkie and is very, very elusive. Louise may have met her match, so she recruits Gene and Tina to help catch Jessica. And then, my DVR cut off the rest of the show, probably because an earlier game of sportsball ran long, so I’m just going to make stuff up.

The raccoon gets out, wacky antics followed. Jessica was just looking for her blankie that got mixed in with the tie dye shirts. Once the mix up was discovered and the blankie returned to its owner, Jessica turned back into redheaded wallpaper, Louise vowed to hold the blankie secret over Jessica’s head forever and ever and ever, and Linda declared the sleepover a great success.
