It's Francine's turn to dream. She's a mild-mannered secretary by day, buxom super heroine by night with bee-stung lips. Katchoo is a super-villainess with an eye patch, a cigar, and a fully-automatic pistol with a thirty-round clip. Katchoo pauses in her villainy long enough to kiss Francine's hand. Then they are separated. Francine calls out, "Don't leave me!"

When she wakes up, her cute little daughter with pigtails wants to crawl in bed with her. Francine looks years older. She's living back at her mother's house now. She goes out to meet her husband for lunch. He's late, but Francine runs into Casey at the restaurant. Casey mentions Katchoo, but Francine says she hasn't seen her for ten years. Casey mentions that she just saw Katchoo in the lobby. Francine excuses herself and runs out to meet her. Nothing.

Flashback: Francine remembers the time when she lived with Katchoo in a tiny garage apartment, eating mushroom pizzas and doing Elvis impersonations. Katchoo hates it when Francine does her "Fat man" voice (this is an important cue weeks later, when Detective Walsh brings Katchoo a mushroom pizza from "The Fat Man" to let her know Francine is safe).

The nosy neighbor lady watches Katchoo and Francine galavant around and worries that they are two wild girls who will bring boys over and do drugs. She can't get her husband to get up and take a look even when she says one of the girls is half naked on her porch singing at the top of her lungs. After his wife goes to bed, he does get up and take a look-see. "Well, whadya know, maybe it will be a good year after all."
