SummaryEdit

While Arnold is on the bus, Sid is prank calling on Lorenzo's phone, which he stole, and the others giggle. Helga tells Arnold to mind his own business. Rhonda writes a fake love letter to Curly, and again Helga tells Arnold to mind his own business. Finally, Stinky and Harold tamper with Eugene's bike, and yet again Helga tells Arnold to mind his own business. So Arnold decides to stop his reputation of giving advice. All the pranks did not go as expected. Eugene's Bike did not fall apart and crashes in the neighbor's vicious dog, leaving him seriously injured and Harold and Stinky racked with agonizing guilt. Curly finds out that Rhonda wrote the love letter because Rhonda used the same pen on a history essay as she used for the letter. Furthermore, a kid throws a paper airplane at Sid, causing him to drop Lorenzo's phone. When everyone wants advice, Helga takes it upon herself to fix their problems. However, her advice just makes their problems worse. Helga then feels unbearably guilty for causing Arnold to stop giving advice. She then persuades Arnold to resume giving out advice.
