Plot
The episode starts with Golden Apple taking a walk around the city, when he accidentally bumps into Emerald. He apologizes and asks what he's doing. Emerald explains that he's just playing Super Smash Bros on his Nintendo Switch. Golden Apple is impressed by how good he is at the game and suggests that he becomes a competitive gamer to earn cash. Emerald agrees with that idea, when a piece of paper flies into Golden Apple's face. Golden Apple reads the paper and it says that a quiz show is coming tomorrow, and the prize is a 1 month cruise. Golden Apple becomes excited about this and prepares himself for the big quiz show coming tomorrow.

Golden Apple gathers Grape Juice, Muffin and Sammy to his mansion. He discusses that there is a quiz show coming tomorrow and asks them if they want to join him, since it requires 4 teams of 4. Muffin asks what the prize is, and Golden Apple tells her the prize is a 1 month cruise. Everyone becomes very pleased and they decide they will get ready tomorrow.

Tomorrow night, Golden Apple gathers his team to drive to the quiz show. After they arrive at the quiz show, Microchip greets the teams. Golden Apple is shocked, because he never expected Microchip to go to a quiz show. Golden Apple asks if he is joining a team. Microchip laughs and explains that he is hosting the show. Golden Apple is surprised, but brushes it off. Microchip explains to 4 of the teams that the quiz show will contain 10 questions. If 3 of the teams get at least 5 of the questions correct, they win the show, while the remaining team gets disqualified. And the quiz show began.

Microchip asks the first question, "When was the first telephone invented?". Golden Apple presses the buzzer to answer, but forgets the answer immediately, giving The Smart Alecks the chance to answer the question. Golden Apple was later belittled by two of his teammates (except Muffin). Golden Apple protests that he had no idea what the answer was, but Sammy warns him that their friendship will end if he gets the answer wrong again. Golden Apple, frightened, has a chance to redeem himself. He buzzes his answer. However, it is wrong, resulting in Sammy ending her friendship with Golden Apple.

Samantha sneakily pulls out the wires of Golden Apple's buzzer so it wouldn't work. Oreo angrily whispers to her what she is doing. Samantha quiets him and explains that she wants her team to win, so she's just pulling the wires out of the other team's buzzer so they would have less of a chance to win. Oreo tells her she's crazy and if they lose, don't blame him.

After 7 more questions, Microchip asks the final question, "When was the first Sonic game created?" Golden Apple knew the answer for sure, so he presses the buzzer, but it doesn't work. (possibly due to Samantha pulling the wires out of it) Golden Apple tries pressing the buzzer multiple times, but it doesn't work, giving The Passionate Petunias the chance to answer the question, which is correct, resulting in the The Smart Alecks, The Passionate Petunias and The Baffling Birds winning, while The Wacky Wafers being disqualified. Muffin decided to stand up for her team, and objects. Microchip asks why, then Muffin explains that The Passionate Petunias cheated by pulling the wires out of one of The Wacky Wafers' buzzer, causing them to lose. Microchip then corrects himself and announces that The Smart Alecks, The Wacky Wafers and The Baffling Birds win, while The Passionate Petunias are disqualifed. Golden Apple, excited, tells Sammy about this and asks them if they can be friends again, however, Sammy continues to ignore him.

Arriving on the cruise ship, Golden Apple asks Sammy why she isn’t talking to him, and ends up telling her that it’s like she doesn’t care about him anymore. Sammy makes a final statement that their friendship has ended, and that’s that. Golden Apple becomes deeply saddened by it and walks away from Sammy in shame.

In one of the rooms on the ship, Muffin greets Golden Apple. Golden Apple tells her about what happened on the quiz show and right then. Muffin tells Golden Apple that Sammy didn’t know the answers herself and calls her a “hypocrite” Golden Apple thanks her for the information and for sticking up for him and his team. Muffin says it was nothing and that she couldn't stand herself losing to another team cheating.
