She makes Mae destroy the items against her will. She destroys Ricky's science equipment, breaks Nicky's favorite stirring stick and cuts some of Dicky's hair. After that she finally talks to the boys telling them that they're still not equal. Those are all things they can replace. But getting to meet with Candace Parker was a one-time opportunity they took away from her.

Realizing that the only way for Dawn to forgive them is for her to meet Candace Parker, Ricky comes up with a plan for them to research where Candace will be staying so that they can take Dawn there. Dicky says he will make the appointment. Once they have everything ready, they take Dawn out to meet Candace Parker. On their way, Dawn is skeptical that it might not even be the basketball player Candace Parker. It could just be another person who happens to be named "Candace Parker." Surprisingly enough, she sees and recognizes Candace Parker's tour bus. She's ready to meet Candace Parker when Dicky reveals that he didn't actually book any appointment with her. It turns out he was only talking about booking a hair appointment. Dawn gets mad at her brothers again.

The Harper Quads decide to look inside the bus to see who is there. To their surprise, the bus doors are open. They get inside and start playing around with Candace's things. Dawn is happy for the first time in a long while. Before leaving, the boys start pressuring Dawn to thank them for bringing her to Candace's bus. Dawn refuses because she didn't actually get to meet Candace Parker. Just about then, the bus driver, JD McCoy arrives. The quads freak out, thinking that they've been busted. But luckily, the driver mistakes them for a group of Russian dancers called From Russia With Funk. He "reminds" them that he is driving them to be part of Candace Parker's workout video. He also tells them that he knows they don't know English. So, they start talking with terrible Russian accents. The real From Russia With Funk arrives but finds the bus leaving.

After being dropped off, the quads realize that they are actually performing at their dad's Get Sporty store. Candace Parker comes over and asks them if they're ready to "bring it" which makes them realize that From Russia With Funk was supposed to perform alongside Candace Parker in her workout video. They look up the real From Russia with Funk and they're just too good for the quads to learn the moves. At the time of the performance, Tom and Anne are shocked to see their kids with Candace Parker, ready to perform. Tom had actually planned this as a surprise for Dawn to meet her idol Candace Parker. He tries to get the quads out but Candace's manager doesn't want him to ruin the performance. He scares Tom off.

The bus driver arrives with the real From Russia With Funk. At that moment, Candace Parker asks who the others were. Dawn explains the situation and Candace understands. She tells Dawn that she has brothers too and she knows how annoying they can be. She lets Dawn be part of her workout video.
