Plot[]
The babies are all listening to the fishy song on Tommy's tablet in the living room of the Pickles' household. Angelica then comes into the room as well, with a red popsicle in hand, as she thanks Didi before going on to tell the babies that they could have popsicles too if they could talk. Angelica then asks Duffy to change the song on Tommy's tablet to the Cynthia theme song, in which Duffy thanks her in relief and begins playing the song much to the babies' dismay. Angelica then mentions she's going to be singing at a Cynthia concert as, at the same time, Didi calls out to her to tell her that Charlotte was outside waiting to pick her up. The next day, after going to the Cynthia concert, Angelica loses her voice from screeching out all the songs as she's dropped off at the Pickles' home once again. Drew explains to Stu that Angelica's doctor ordered her to stay silent to let her throat heal. At the same time, due to Charlotte screaming at traffic after the concert and losing her voice as well, he takes over for his wife's job for the day, calling Jonathan. Didi and Stu offer her to speak with a button communication wheel that was intended for Spike to use. While Stu and Didi try to remember why they took the device away from Spike, Angelica, repeatedly pressing the button, asks for a drink. Going out back with a juice box, Angelica then walks over to the babies who are all confused as to why she isn't bossing them around like usual. Susie then points out that Angelica can't speak to them at the moment while Tommy then points out she can use Spike's communication wheel. Angelica uses it to ask for a treat, in which Susie agrees on snack time as she slides down to go over to her backpack to grab the granola bars inside. Angelica then takes a granola bar from Susie and eats it, she however spits it out immediately realizing there was coconut in the bars.
Later on, Kira and Chas drop off Kimi and Chuckie at the Pickles' house on their way to the hardware store for a D.I.Y refresh project that Kira is doing with her bathroom. Kira, however, confides in Didi when she takes note that she's aware that Chas is likely not a hardware person but happy he was still there to help. She also asks Didi if she should consider the outing a date. Meanwhile, Chas, who's obviously nervous, confides in Stu that he is trying to impress Kira despite not knowing anything involving bathrooms or even knowing what a "bathroom refresh" is. Kimi and Chuckie head out to the backyard as Kimi waves to Angelica while Chuckie wonders why the others aren't following Angelica's commands. Susie tells Chuckie to ask Angelica, who points out she can't speak, while Tommy verbally explains the situation. Kimi, quick to understand Angelica's problem, offers to act as her speaker until her voice heals. After a brief moment, Angelica hugs Kimi, agreeing to allow Kimi to help. After showing Kimi she wanted a different snack, they both go to Didi in the kitchen to get a different snack. Didi, at first, decides to get Angelica some ice cream but stops when Kimi says, according to her mom, that ice cream wouldn't help her throat, so Didi instead decides to make asparagus and turmeric tea to give her, much to Angelica's disgust. Meanwhile Chas calls Stu, who is carrying Dil trying to get him to wind down for a nap, asking for help, seeing as Kira asked him to pick out some white paint. In the kitchen, after the tea is ready and Didi hands her the cup, Angelica takes one sip, eating a piece of asparagus, before pouring the rest of her cupful of tea in Spike's dog dish. Thinking she wants more, Kimi tells Didi that Angelica wants more tea in which Angelica tries to show her disapproval. Fortunately, for Angelica, she is spared another cup when Kira calls Didi asking for advice as Angelica takes the opportunity to go back outside with Kimi.
Meanwhile, the babies are up on the play castle about to play roller coaster when Kimi asks what they are up to. They then show off that Cynthia was going to be the one riding the rollercoaster, much to Angelica's shock. Kimi, unknowing that the babies just took Cynthia, praises Angelica for sharing as Angelica attempts to retrieve her doll. Her attempt is intercepted by Spike, due to Angelica accidentally stepping on the communication wheel, as he jumps up and begins licking her, causing her to fall. At the same time, Stu is placing a napping Dil outside in his pillow on his blanket as he is still on a call with Chas from earlier. Didi then enters the back yard when she explains that Kira needs help with something about Chas. Realizing the can help with the opposite problems, they swap phones as Didi gives Chas the advice he needs while Stu gives Kira the advice she needs. Meanwhile, the babies let the rollercoaster slide down as they all cheer in excitement. After they let it slide down, Angelica is about to snatch the doll, but Kimi, again, praises Angelica for letting them play with her doll and holds her hand which keeps her away from Cynthia. Susie then states that Cynthia wants to play with her and the rest of the babies everyday, which Kimi is delighted to hear.
Frustrated, Angelica runs away from the group and kicks a rock before she walks off and sits down by Dil, who was now awake again. They make funny faces at each other before Dil notices he's in the direct sunlight, which upsets him, as he starts to cry. The rest of the toddlers take notice as they run over and try to console Dil, with Tommy trying to give him his pacifier, with no avail. Angelica takes notices of the sun as she then moves the blanket, moving Dil into the shade in which Dil is instantly relieved by. Angelica helps Dil to sit back up as the rest of the babies and Kimi are impressed about Angelica's ability to figure out what Dil wanted even without words. Chuckie claims that even despite her inability to speak, that they were able to understand Angelica even better than before. However, that was Angelica's last straw, as she strains to speak before yelling at the babies to get away, regaining her voice, as she takes Cynthia back. Angelica then started walking away before tightening her grip on Cynthia and proceeded to yell at the babies about the granola bars and roller coaster. Realizing that her voice has returned, Kimi warns Angelica to stop yelling to keep her voice from getting hurt again, but Angelica dismisses Kimi as she starts to yell at her for making Didi give her tea instead of ice cream. Angelica's yelling, however, is short lived as she loses her voice once again. Kimi then rushes to ask Didi to get Angelica another batch of the tea as Angelica dramatically acts as if she's going to pass away before laying out on her back in the grass.
