Flashback episode that features alternate stories. The Eds try to make their way back to the place all the flashbacks began. In this journey many things are explained, including: Plank's chip (Plank got stuck in Rolf's teeth), and why Jimmy wears a retainer (the Eds tricked him into eating a bowling pin when he thought it was a cream horn).

The power goes out, and everyone's wondering what happened. Ed starts a panic when he blames the blackout on "mole mutants" (a parody of the C.H.U.D.s and The Mole People), and Eddy tries to cash in. Meanwhile, Rolf enlists Kevin in jump-starting the power grid, and Edd overcomes his fear of the unsanitary sewers to conduct his own investigation.

Eddy tries to convince the kids of the cul-de-sac (and himself) that it is still summer, even though it is actually the day before school starts. At school, the Eds find they've been assigned separate home rooms, and must negotiate with the Kanker Sisters if they want to spend the school year together.

Eddy plans to break out of school, enlisting the help of the other Eds and Jonny.

When Rolf goes to his family reunion, he puts Ed in charge of his animals.

Jonny invites the Ed's to the Arbor Day party. Eddy hopes that the party will have all the kids there in attempt to boost his popularity, but his hopes are crushed when he discovers nobody else went.

The Eds, Kevin, Rolf, and Jonny all make bets who can put off their annoying habits the longest. Eddy must stop talking in a loud voice, Ed cannot have any gravy, Double D must stop talking using complicated words (words with more than one syllable), Johnny must go on without Plank, Kevin has to stop calling the Eds "dorks", and Rolf must stop eating meat. The winner will win $1.25.

The Eds attend their first school dance. Edd isn't too excited about going, but naturally, Eddy is stoked.
