Back at home, Olive continues to feel gloomy. Mom observes Olive’s expression and sighs. Soon, Aunt Molly calls and asks Olive if she would like to sleep over at her house tonight. Olive’s expression brightens considerably. While packing, Olive smiles when she hears Aunt Molly come in. Goober tries to invite himself to the sleepover, but Aunt Molly tells him that they can have their own sleepover next week.
Aunt Molly suggests that she and Olive get Chinese take-out and asks about her day. Olive tells her about running into the friends who were practicing their cheerleading act. Aunt Molly tells Olive that she and Olive’s mother participated in the talent show when they were in school. Along with her friends, Olive’s mother performed a dance to a popular song, while Aunt Molly did a solo “performance art piece,” reciting poetic lines while holding melting ice cream. Olive doesn’t understand, but Aunt Molly tells her that she will understand when she is older. On the way home, Aunt Molly reminisces, saying that Mom was embarrassed by the performance art piece, but Aunt Molly loved it even if it didn’t make her any more popular at school.
