Synopsis
Fearing Hop Pop and Sprig's antics may be affecting Polly, Anne plans to give her some long-overdue girl time, whether she wants it or not.
Plot
Anne and Polly are watching Sprig and Hop Pop spit into the pond together, and Polly decides to join in. She spits the furthest distance out of the three, hitting a cup on the other side of the lake. Not wanting Polly to end up like the boys, Anne declares she's giving Polly some long-overdue girl time. She asks Hop Pop for his wallet, which is filled with custom IOUs.
Anne with her hair straightened.
Anne and Polly first go to a luxury spa, where Anne pays with the IOUs for a spa treatment. Anne seems to be enjoying herself, but Polly keeps goofing off, riding one of the fish in the spa pool and throwing combs around a hair salon, destroying a couple of items. They then go to a clothing store where Anne puts on a green dress and gets Polly stuffy, over-sized clothing. They visit Felicia's Tea Shoppe, where they have tea and eat dung-beetle scones. Felicia, having learnt of Anne and Polly's girl time, tells them of a place where they can get full-body massages. While going to these different places, Anne enjoys the girl time but Polly doesn't. Finally, while Anne gets a painful massage from a masseuse/bounty hunter named Tuti, Polly decides to ditch her. Finding out after the massage, Anne feels dejected and distraught, later finding her with Wally and chastises Polly for ditching her and hanging out with people like Wally. Polly tells her that she thinks girl time is boring. Anne accidentally insults her, calling her a disgusting little slob, hurting Polly's feelings.
Tuti leads the villagers alongside Wartwood's residential sheriff Buck Leatherleaf, who arrests Anne and the Plantar family for the IOUs she used to pay the services: Hop Pop is broke, so all the IOUs Anne spent are worthless, with Hop Pop questioning Anne about her overspending. They either have to pay or they will be sent to debtors' prison to gather giant spider eggs to pay off their debt. Knowing that Polly is a great spitter, Anne wants her to break the spitting record to get the golden trophy so their debt can be repaid. However, Polly is not up to it because she feels bad about herself after what Anne said about her and how spitting was gross, feeling disgusted about spitting now. Anne then apologizes to her and accepts her for who she is, saying that she was wrong, giving Polly the motivation to spit far enough to break the record and pay off the debts. As a result, Tuti then breaks the trophy and distributes it among the citizens who had been paid with the fake IOUs. She then gives the remaining piece of gold to the Plantars, which Anne decides to have carved in the shape of Polly and put where the original statue was placed. Polly apologizes to Anne for their "girl time" not working out and Anne admits that girl time is weird, with Sprig and Hop Pop admitting that they too love going to the spa.
