Plot

The episode begins at the Carmichael house, where Didi and Lucy are helping Alisa with the dress for her high school prom (she's talking on the phone to a friend of hers about the prom) while the babies are tossing a ball to each other, and mistake Alisa's prom dress for a nightgown. Meanwhile, Susie's showing Angelica her parents' old high school yearbook, and explains what their high school prom was like (they even got crowned the Prom King and Queen). Susie explains to Angelica that she thinks that since Alisa's really popular at her school, she'll probably get crowned Prom Queen.

Angelica then claims that once she's in high school, she'll be the Prom Queen, but Susie says she'll be the Prom Queen too. Angelica feels that she has a bigger chance of being the Prom Queen than Susie, but Susie points out that she has as much of a chance of being the Prom Queen as Angelica does. The two girls then go over to the babies and Angelica asks who they would vote for to be Prom Queen. But then Susie claims that they have to have a prom in order to have a Prom Queen. Angelica then tells the boys that they have to ask a girl to the prom as their date. Phil and Lil go together, and Chuckie asks Susie, while Angelica goes with Tommy. Angelica tells the boys that they also have to get flowers for their dates (Phil gives Lil a snail instead of a flower, while Tommy and Chuckie give Angelica and Susie flowers).

The girls put on dresses and the boys put on hats and bowties. Angelica says they have to vote for Prom Queen right now, but Susie tells Angelica that they have to decorate the yard and have their prom pictures taken. Angelica throws glitter all around, and gives a camera to Phil so he can take the pictures. He does take pictures, but he takes random pictures of the yard while the picture he took of Angelica only has her pigtail in it. Susie points out to Angelica that she and Chuckie don't have any pictures to remember this, so Angelica gives her a leaf. Chuckie makes Susie feel better about it by telling that he'll always remember it.

Angelica and Susie get into Tommy and Dil's Reptar-car, which is their limo for the prom, with Dil as the chauffeur while Tommy and Chuckie push the car. Phil and Lil end up walking to the prom. They get to the picnic table where the Rugrats are having their prom, and Angelica says it's time to vote for the Prom Queen. Angelica makes Tommy vote for her, and Angelica, naturally, votes for herself. Then it Chuckie's turn to vote. He's obviously intimidated by Angelica, but he also wants to vote for Susie. Meanwhile, Dil's still in the Reptar-car, but then his foot pushes the brake that had parked it, and the car ends up moving towards Angelica. Chuckie screams out Angelica's name, which make the girls think that he's voting for Angelica, but Chuckie points out the Reptar-car that's moving towards her. Chuckie, Susie and Tommy move out of the way before Angelica, who does move out of the in time, but she ends up knocking over a bowl of punch, which gets punch all over her, Susie, Tommy and Chuckie.

Angelica's upset about getting punch all over herself, but Susie, Chuckie and Tommy think it's funny. Susie tells Angelica that they should just forget about the whole Prom Queen thing, but Angelica, naturally, doesn't want to, and still thinks she'll be the Prom Queen when she's older, and says that they should have a prom at her house next time. Susie and Chuckie start dancing, while Tommy goes over to Dil and gives him a cookie. Phil asks Lil if she wants to be the Prom Queen, which she says yes to, and Lil asks Phil if he wants to be the Prom King, and he says yes. Phil gives Lil a paper cup as her crown. They, along with Susie and Chuckie, and Tommy and Dil, are all having fun, while Angelica's off in a corner of the Carmichaels backyard, looking at the prom picture Phil took of her, mumbling that she'll be the Prom Queen next year and every year after that. 

Trivia

• This episode also reveals that the Carmichaels have a pet cat (but the name is never revealed).
• Lucy and Randall have apparently known each other since at least high school---the name of their high school was Swift High School.
• Alisa tells her friends (over the phone) that two boys named Tad and Casey had asked her to the prom as their date. Wanting to be fair, Alisa flipped a coin to decide who she'd go with.
  • Her date for the prom is never revealed, but in later episodes it's said that Tad's her boyfriend, so it's possible that Tad may have been her date for the prom (this may have been when they first started dating).
    • However, by All Grown Up!, Alisa's boyfriend (and later husband) is a guy named Ty, so it's possible that Alisa and Tad broke up sometime after they graduated from high school.
