Plot: Stan is surprised to learn that Hayley has been working with an underprivileged girl scout troop, having completely forgotten that he ignored her being in the Girl Scouts when she was young. When he crashes into the CIA flagpole, he is sentenced to community service and volunteers for a girl scout troop rather than clean outhouses at a rodeo. On his arrival, he blow off any responsibilities until he sees them perform a skit at the Community Center and is won over. When Hayley tries to quiet his reaction, he imagines the girls being pushed around the way he was by the police officer that arrested him. Even though his community service is finished, he decides he wants to stick around. Pushing Hayley to the side, he finds out that the girls want to go to the National Robotics Convention to win the Golden Beret. when trying to find a fundraiser for their trip, he decides to eschew the traditional cookies in favor of turkey drumsticks.

The girls are shocked when he brings on a flock of turkeys and pumps them full of growth hormone and then butchers them. One of the girls invents an automatic baster and requests to do the same to the butchering, but Stan dismisses it as part of their marketing. Following a day of selling, a rich businessman wants to buy the robot arm patent. Stan insists on being paid in cryptocurrency. Hayley employs Klaus to hack into the account and drain the funds, but the plan fails when one of the girls discovers that Hayley that was behind it and she's banished from the troop.

To impress the judges at the convention, Stan decides to make their robot deadly. Hayley angrily interrupts their meeting, to Stan's surprise, and one of the Scouts surmises that it's because he ignored her when she was a Girl Scout. At the convention, Stan thinks they have the contest in the bag, but Hayley forms her own troop with their own robot. As the contest proceeds, Hayley's robot gives Stan's a run for its money but Pulls out the victory. When one of the Girl Scouts calls her dad to celebrate, he blows her off, leaving Stan to try to figure out why he would do such an act before he realizes that he did the same thing to Hayley. Taking over a microphone, Stan apologizes to Hayley and forfeits their award. This upsets the scouts who send their robot into kill mode. The robot chases and corners Stan and Hayley, who tries to take it out with an arrow learned in scout archery, but it ricochets into Stan instead. However, the robot is deactivated by the scouts who decide the revenge isn't worth it. After offering to pull the arrow out, Hayley admits that she hasn't run that fast since high school to Stan's surprise that she was in track.

Meanwhile, when Stan berates Steve for living in his fantasies, he escapes by imagining himself as Merlin the Wizard's personal assistant, but panics when he believes he's forgotten to clean Merlin's robe. Later at school, while taking a shower before class, he is interrupted by principal Lewis leading a group of all women exterminators and their daughters. Slipping back into his fantasy, he tries to get Merlin's robe cleaned but fails because it's after hours. While being beaten up by Mertz, he fantasizes washing the robe himself, but discovers that it's cheaply made. When Francine takes him to get professional help, he returns to his fantasy where he imagines that a replacement robe was made the wrong way but Merlin fails to notice the difference. But then asks Steve about a salad, causing him to freak out.
