Johnny's ill-fated attempt to save his sock puppet, Sir Ducksworthy, lands him in the hospital. Now more than ever, Johnny needs Sir Ducksworthy by his side. Angela tries to make a replacement puppet, which causes bad luck. To show her solidarity with local broccoli farmers, Josephine has taken a vow of silence to protest the ongoing drought. Sensing that Angela is unable to answer a question in class, Gina blurts out that Angela is also taking a vow of silence to protest poor teacher wages. Not only does keeping quiet become more difficult than it seems, a recent rainstorm releases Josephine from her vows; and she can think of many ways to use her voice that may get Angela talking.
