While dining at a seafood restaurant, Bill feels he must prove to the waiter that he is a Big City local, and Cricket and Tilly try to rescue a live octopus.

When Cricket persuades Bill to convert his pickup into a French fry food truck, he discovers a mysterious blue potato that Gramma says is cursed with bad luck.
