Spirit Animal Raccoon is growing impatient with the dream-resistant Runs with Weasels, but soon a vision manifests: two females...fighting over a bathing suit...and using one another like lollypops... Though the Spirit Animal is interested, the vision dissipates quickly as Runs with Weasels only wants more Peace Pipe. Runs is awakened by a Chief who objects to the rude nudity and tells the turgid youth to leave.
Hidden in the baggage of the plane, Rajiv and the baby Princess Lakshmi finally land in Greece where they hope to find a cure from Magnus Adversson for the Princess' age regression. At his Grecian mansion, Magnus basks in his own regression, which has allowed him to return to the vigor, and non-pant pooping, age of 25. Rajiv interrupts and begs Magnus to help, but Magnus will only help once he has free rights to Rajiv's spit. Rajiv demands the antidote now. Magnus refuses, so Rajiv spits on him until he, too, is a baby--who instantly has a poopie party with the baby Lakshmi!
In budding magician Kevin's basement rec room, his budding magician friend Zeb discovers the last, and toughest, pages of their magic book are missing. Zeb has the revelation that somebody from the spirit realm doesn't want the fantastically talented Kevin to learn those spells. Kevin's mom, Mrs. McUmphry, interrupts with some Tontino's Pizza Rolls and casually mentions she threw out a wad of ripped-out book pages, save one. That one page, however, will level up Kevin's motion magic. Kevin reads the page...he swirls...he twirls...he waves his arms... he conjures and traps a minor Jewish deity: Gigi! Now they can use her to get the rest of the spells.
Judge Rufus T. Graft calls for his secretary Ellie Mae, but there is a temp in her place today. Judge Graft informs the temp of an important meeting with "those red-skinned bastards" which should only be recorded in the "other book" because he is willing to judge in their favor if "the wheels of justice are greased". Two native women arrive; Runs with Rivers is shocked by the process of bribery, but Dances on the Beach is shocked that judge wants money and not the sex she was willing to give. Unfortunately, Judge Graft is unable to "lift the gavel" and instead wishes to have a percentage of their "leafy" crop business. He threatens them with his connections at the DEA if they do not come to an agreement, which is that he will stop the diversion of Lake Superior IF they make him a 20% under-the-table partner. They will take it under consideration.
- Will Runs with Weasels find enlightenment before Spirit Raccoon gives up on him?
- Can Rajiv find and use Magnus' age-regression antidote on his own, or will he now have to raise two babies, who may only get younger?
- What will Jewish deity Gigi do for...or to...Kevin?
- Will the Native Americans agree to Judge Graft's deal, and can they trust him?

This episode begins on an international flight from Solomon's River to Greece, where Rajiv is hoping Magnus Adversson can help the now baby Princess Lakshmi. The couple picked up an abandoned French boy, Jacques, at the airport, but he has been in the plane's bathroom for over an hour and a half. Rajiv asks a stewardess to check, but the boy is not there! Rajiv panics, asking the stewardess to get the pilot to "bring the plane down", which is immediately misconstrued, having been said by a "foreigner". The stewardess uses the code phrase to access the cockpit and reports the problem. While she and the pilot debate the merits of tying them up or pushing them out the "ejection door", Princess Lakshmi needs a diaper change, so Rajiv disappears into the lavatory with her. When the stewardess goes to their seats, the two are gone! The pilot leaves the controls to the co-pilot to help the stewardess. Rajiv senses what is up and he sneaks away to the baggage compartment below. Returning to the cabin, the stewardess finds the co-pilot is also gone! She clarifies for the pilot what he should do: "Fly the *expletive* plane!"
Meanwhile, at the Native Americans' protest, Chief Bat Sits and Mini-hoohoo discuss the as-yet unfruitful Dream Tent journey of Runs with Weasels. They lament that their youth don't seem to have the heart and strength to follow Native tradition. Mini-hoohoo suggests bringing back the peace pipe, which she promptly produces and takes a deep hit. The Chief worries that the government will side with the White People and let them run Lake Superior through their lands. Mini-hoohoo suggests trying to get the townspeople on their side through trade, like they did in the old days. Taking a hit, Chief Bat Sits knows what to trade, and they both go to Mini-hoohoo's garden.
Elsewhere, an amateur witch and her friend Kevin attempt to "find their magic centers". They each draw a circle of protection and Kevin begins the hand motions while she follows. They feel the energy of Kevin's motion magic and she is able to make a small cloud, and he is able to make a small sound. She predicts they will be the best magicians Solomon's River has ever seen!
- Where are all the people disappearing to on United Flight 666?
- Will Rajiv and Princess Lakshmi find Jacques and/or get to Greece safely?
- Will peaceful trading of whatever Mini-hoohoo and her twin Poops with Owls grow in their garden get enough townspeople on their side to stop the redirection of Lake Superior through native lands?
- Will Runs with Weasels ever return from his Dream Journey, and, more importantly, what will he learn?
- Who is this amateur witch? How powerful is her friend Kevin? What do they intend to do with their powers?

The couple from Walmart has barricaded themselves inside their house against the Indian protesters outside. The woman and her daughter look over their supplies: gold bars and food rations.

French boy Jacques stands in the Solomon's River Airport, his mother pinning a note to his jacket saying, "Please take care of my boy." She wishes him a better life in America and bids him a tearful Au Revoir. Jacques doesn't speak much English. Rajiv stumbles upon Jacques and Baby Princess Lakshmi takes an instant liking to the boy.

Princess Lakshmi faces an unhappy truth when Rajiv measures her against the doorjamb: she is getting shorter, which means she is still getting younger. Estimating her age at about seven, Magnus' promise that a cure could be found within ten years is not reassuring. Princess Lakshmi figures they should travel to Geneva for a faster cure, and Rajiv zips her into a backpack to start their journey.
Brother Chiliwang and Brother Offenschitz contemplate the resurgence of evil they feel from Solomon's River far below their mountain retreat, and they pray for a vision of Princess Evaleene, who once gave them hope and a Happy Dance. She appears to them, now morphed into a rock statue, and announces she is more powerful than ever. They supplicate themselves and ask for help to battle Big Momma, whose evil plans are affecting their peace. "The answer," intones Evaleene, "is inside my nose." They check inside the statue's nose, and they find The Green Crystal of Evaleene! The Crystal, which was the source of Evaleene's power, immediately goes up Brother Chilliwang's nose. The Princess now speaks through the Brother. Offenschitz selfishly asks for money, and Princess/Brother changes him into a beetle. When he pleases her/him again, she/he will turn him back. Offenschitz clicks a little.
