The ''Cirque du Dummi Bear'' is in town, and the babies want to go. Angelica and her parents arrive at Tommy's house, saying that they have been hearing sneezes coming from Fluffy (though it is actually Angelica trying to hide her possible cold). After Angelica sneezed, Didi came into the living room, alarmed, asking who sneezed. Angelica says that it was Dil who sneezed. As Didi takes Dil into the kitchen for a checkup, Tommy blames Angelica for lying. However, Angelica doesn't want to miss the show. The babies reluctantly agree.

Didi and Stu put their youngest son back into the playpen after learning that he's not running any fevers, and saying that they have to watch the kids closely, knowing that they can't bring a sick child to ''Cirque du Dummi Bear''; since they don't want to get other people sick. This worries Angelica as she thinks she might be sick. Feeling that she deserves to go to the show more than the other Rugrats, Angelica comes up with a plan to make it seem like Chuckie, the twins and her cousins are sick and not her.

Angelica, trying not to sneeze, exits the room with that thought, and sneezes into Spike's back. She grabs some baby powder and lipstick from the bathroom, saying that there's going to be an "epidermis".

After Angelica sneezed, Didi came into the living room, alarmed, asking who sneezed. Angelica says that it was Dil who sneezed. As Didi takes Dil into the kitchen for a checkup, Tommy blames Angelica for lying. However, Angelica doesn't want to miss the show. The babies reluctantly agree. and he tells het not to say that he is sick no more because he wants to go to.

Didi and Stu put their youngest son back into the playpen after learning that he's not running any fevers, and saying that they have to watch the kids closely, knowing that they can't bring a sick child to Cirque du Dummi Bear; since it could cause an international epidemic and they don't want to get other people sick.
