Plot[]
The episode begins with Strawberry talking out loud about how much she enjoys Sweetie Pies day as she prepares deliveries. Before she can finish, Aunt Praline interrupts and asks what she’s going for the next few hours and starts suggesting things they can do together. Strawberry declines her offer which prompts her to start asking Custard. Strawberry, sensing something, asks her what’s going on and Aunt Praline tells her she has a date tonight. Strawberry expresses how excited she is and tells her how it’s going to be great. Aunt Praline disagrees though, telling her she accidently scheduled it on Sweetie Pies day and she’s going to come off as weird. When Aunt Praline suggests canceling, Strawberry runs up to her to stop her. Before Strawberry can reassure Aunt Praline the rest of Strawberry’s friends come and start asking her about the date. When Aunt Praline tells them she was thinking of canceling Strawberry begins to say something before Lime interrupts and suggests all she needs to be is well informed. In a cutaway Strawberry admits what she was going to say “Be Yourself”. Lime tells Aunt Praline that knowing fun facts gives her confidence and Blueberry tells her that expressing body language is the best way to go. Orange disagrees and says that all she has to do is show no fear. Huck adds that when she does get scared she can just sing her feelings. He starts singing before Bread pushes him away and informs Aunt Praline that outfit choice is a huge deal. Aunt Praline thanks them and assures that she knows more about dates than any of them. Raspberry tells her she really has no say when she’s the one who’d rather cancel than go on a date. Strawberry tries to tell her friends what Aunt Praline really needs but it is interrupted when they decide to hold a spontaneous practice date.
In the club house Strawberry and Aunt Praline are put into a practice date. Aunt Praline tells her how persistent her friends are and the camera cuts to them watching. Bread calls action and the practice date begins. Strawberry starts by saying how glad she is they could meet and tells Praline to talk about herself. Aunt Praline starts to speak until Lime reminds her to talk about fun facts. Blueberry comes from behind Strawberry and tells her to use body language. Aunt Praline starts talking about work before Raspberry warns her not to talk about work. Orange tells her to be bold which prompts her to shout at Strawberry causing her to roll out of ehr seat. Lemon shoots pasta out of her invention and Huck tells her to sing. When she sings, Aunt Praline accidentally steps on some pasta and trips. Pasta flies everywhere and every berry starts blaming each other. Aunt Praline walks out and pulls out her phone to which Strawberry begs her not to cancel. She apologizes for her friends and tells her that they mean well. Strawberry says that all she needs to be is herself. Strawberry begs her to go and Aunt Praline reassures her that she is. She informs Strawberry that she texted her date to meet her at the Berry works and that no date could go as bad as the practice one they had. Aunt Praline compliments how wise Strawberry has gotten before her date shows up.
The date turns out to be Bite of the City host Kiki KeyLime. Kiki apologizes for being late and Aunt Praline reassures her it’s fine. The episode ends with Bread complimenting the group for helping Aunt Praline.
