At the party, Nicky, Dicky and Dawn start feeling guilty for not keeping their promise to Ricky and getting him in trouble. As part of the guilty party, everything reminds them of Ricky.

The quads conclude that this is all a sign that they should help Ricky sneak into the party. They come up with a plan to place Rickini in Ricky's bed so that when their parents come to check on Ricky, they will think he's still in the house.

While Dawn is still there, Anne walks into check in on Ricky. So, Dawn hides under Ricky's bed. Whenever Anne asks a question, Dawn presses on Rickini who says something wise as part of his fortune-teller programming. Rickini helps Anne realize that she shouldn't be so competitive against Tom.
