Plot
The episode begins with the Harvey Girls trapped on a taco, where a wave of guacamole threatens to take them away. Audrey plans to go out eating it, but it's too spicy. After asking for help, Lucretia appears with a layer of tortilla as a cape to get them out of the problem by taking them in her mouth to a safe place and belching because she took advantage of eating the taco. The Harvey Girls proceed to join her for the rest of their lives, to which she accepts. The scene ends up revealing that all of it was part of the imagination of the latter, while playing with doll versions of the Harvey girls and herself.

Suddenly the rain comes and the Harvey girls prepare the animals for the rain, so Lucretia plans to join them as an admiration, but does not have enough confidence to do so. The Harvey girls, meanwhile go to their headquarters, where they are clearly bored and uncomfortable with the rain. Lucretia watches over them and Dollcretia tells her that she can help them by surviving since she considers herself an indoor girl, so she knocks on the door and Dot opens it. Lucretia tries to help the girls by giving them respectively a sports bag with survival elements, for Dot she gives a complex puzzle of 8001 pieces; To Lotta gives her a tablet with a new pop opera song from Crush4U with an official hair fan of the band; and for Audrey asks her to stop biting a doll and use her imagination, which she imagines shooting aliens and rescuing space gold. After a while, Lucretia makes the Harvey girls back to normal and also love her company, to her delight.

However, Lucretia notices that the sun shines again and meditates with her doll about pretending that is still raining, despite the fact that her doll wanted to tell her otherwise. Lucretia uses a remote control with a button that activates the sprinklers near the HQ, activates them and gives the sensation that it's still raining outside. Dot notices something strange that it rains every three seconds and Lucretia says she will check, with the excuse that she is immune to rain since she always has her fingers pre-pruned. With the help of The Bow, which got a mist machine and some toads; along with that attracted raccoons with spoons. Lucretia pretends that it is raining frogs, with raccoons making a background noise to emphasize the rain. The girls suspect, but everything seems credible. However, a raccoon causes the girls' trailer to break out of the tree. The HQ falls to the lake Harvezu where Lucretia is forced to tell the truth, but not before blaming her doll first.

Lucretia proposes a plan consisting of Dot using her intelligence; that Lotta uses the fan as a propellant at the bottom of the trailer; while telling Audrey to take the HQ back to the shore. The plan works and when they reach it, the girls propose her to hang along with them instead of using the bush to spy on them; along with ask her to be more direct. The episode ends with Dollcretia congratulating her and telling her to go with her friends.
