Younger sister Nellie struggles in Tater's shadow.
Plot
Nellie explains how she has had to put up with Tater for all of her life and has secretly felt inferior due to this. One morning, she is impressing the primos with her jokes, as well as openly admitting that she cannot remember any of their names, when Tater comes in with one of her plans, which in this case is to quickly make money. Nellie suggests opening up a lemonade stand, but Tater ignores her and suggests the exact same plan, which the primos praise her on. Nellie becomes infuriated, but she compartmentalizes it via meditating. After seeing the primos helping Tater with her lemonade stand, Nellie plots to usurp her.
Just as Tater is about to present her lemonade stand, Nellie suddenly arrives, dressed as Tater, with a better stand and lower priced lemonade. Tater is shocked by Nellie's actions, as well as the fact that she is successfully making more money than her. This causes to primos to switch over to Nellie's side, much to Tater's shock. Nellie mocks Tater by telling her that she no longer needs the successful stand and switches with her. However, Nellie finds that Tater left her diary and begins to openly read it to everyone in attendance. Tater becomes defeated and starts feeling like a joke, causing the primos to once again comfort her.
When Toñita says that Nellie is just joking, Nellie once again compartmentalizes and thinks that she is being called a joke. She threatens to destroy Tater's journal via hyper-concentrated lemonade, but when the primos continue to talk about Tater, Nellie finally snaps for not getting any attention. She admits that she was angry over Tater ignoring her a lot. Tater explains that she cannot tell what she is thinking, but she does know her habits and reveals that she has written down many of the things she has noticed about her and plans that they will grow up together as loving sisters. The two apologize and Nellie decides to use the money she earned to buy them all paletas.

Revelations and significant events
This episode reveals facts about Tater and Nellie. The primos apparently favor Tater because they accurately deduce that she is more emotionally vulnerable, hence why they feel so protective of her. Nellie on the other hand maintains a laidback personality as a coping mechanism as she envies the attention Tater gets. Unfortunately, this causes her to close herself off from people and a creates a toxic loop. This episode finally has Nellie acknowledge these pent up emotions.
This episode foreshadows "Summer of Breaking Bud" as Tater compliments Cousin Bud on the fact that he seems oddly well informed on how commerce works.
