Plot[]
Milo gives Pepper Ann a mini Crunch Pod necklace to prep for the tourney. Craig approaches Pepper Ann with going to a concert with him, but she cannot as the tourney is on the same day. Nicky and Stewart also reveal that they are going to the tourney as well and Craig politely leaves after calling himself a "fifth wheel". Pepper Ann is confused by the term, but Nicky informs her that it is possible that Craig thinks that she and Milo are a couple; shocking her. Pepper Ann begins demanding that Milo stand at a distance from her, much to his confusion.
Pepper Ann continues to try and have Milo stand at a distance from her, but they continue to make things awkward for each other. After coming out of a janitor's closet, everyone starts spreading the rumor that they are a couple, causing Gwen to once again become interested in Milo. Pepper Ann tries to continue the distance with Milo, but Nicky points out that everything she is doing is ironically what is making people think they are a couple. Milo angrily confronts Pepper Ann on her behavior and ends their friendship, which everything thinks is a break up.
After looking at the Crunch Pod necklace, Pepper Ann returns and renews her friendship with Milo, admitting that he is important to her and that she has been terrible to him. He accepts this with Craig returning and asking Pepper Ann to the Freezy Pleezy, which she accepts. Gwen loses interest in Milo, again, and Nicky, who throughout the episode has been trying to find the perfect platonic relationship in fiction, finally settles on Pepper Ann and Milo, causing them to scoff at her. Their arguing makes Craig feel left out and they drag him back in.
