Uncle Grandpa examines the guitar of all of it's features and asks Zack how did he get it, then a mysterious woman who claims herself as Aunt Grandma says that it was a gift. Aunt Grandma introduces herself and says she's everyone in the world's practical aunt and grandma, much like Uncle Grandpa she helps kids with their problems, except she's faster, smarter, and cuter, then Uncle Grandpa says he's cute too. Aunt Grandma says that she helped Zack without dragging him on some pointless adventure, Zack didn't have to learn a thing, and then Uncle Grandpa is disappointed in Zack. Aunt Grandma is in her convertible and says she's off to help more kids, she says "Beautiful Morning" and backs her car into the RV and drives off. Pizza Steve and Mr. Gus questioned about her saying who is she? and how could someone be everyone's aunt and grandma, then Uncle Grandpa tries to foreshadow about her but Belly Bag says he has a 2:00 with Helga in Sweden.

Uncle Grandpa tries to get a candy cane out of his mouth, and says he has a perfect plan to get her a new hockey stick, then Uncle Grandpa tells Helga that they're going on an adventure, first they'll climb to the top of the tallest ice mountain, then fight a professional hockey star polar bear, and then Uncle Grandpa asks Helga if she's ready to start the adventure, until Aunt Grandma comes and gives Helga a new hockey stick. Aunt Grandma says it was a simple problem and a simple solution, something like a simple-minded man like Uncle Grandpa just doesn't understand, Uncle Grandpa says "well I wouldn't say you solved her problem, well I mean" then Helga scores a goal and thanks Aunt Grandma, then Aunt Grandma skates to help more kids. Then Mr. Gus says we'll make it up when we help little Gregory.
Gregory is sad because he has the perfect fishbowl but no pet fish, until Uncle Grandpa raises the wall and tells Gregory that they're going on an adventure. Uncle Grandpa asks Gregory if he's ready to board his ship, the S.S.U.G, and sail as his first mate and make the catch of the century. Gregory stands in shock and confusion, and then Uncle Grandpa starts to sing.
Lyrics: Uncle Grandpa: It's time to cast away your fear, Cause Uncle Grandpa is here, Let's set sail for the seven seas, We will find a remedy , and if you don't believe us just ask Mr. Gus! Mr. Gus: Huh? Uncle Grandpa: Well a little bit of magic, could sure of fate would have it look, Fishing is so fun, take it from me, and me! Don't you worry, It won't be boring! We'll find you a new fish today!
Then right away when Uncle Grandpa finishes singing, Aunt Grandma comes and give Gregory a pet fish and Gregory thanks Aunt Grandma, and decides to name the fish Aunt Grandma after Aunt Grandma. Aunt Grandma see Uncle Grandpa and says she didn't see him there, then proceeds to Uncle Grandpa's stage and pulls the plug on him, and his giant inflatable deflates, and she says "ta ta Uncle Lame-pa" and drives away.
Uncle Grandpa is depressed that he can't compete with Aunt Grandma, just the thought of helping kids weighs me down, Uncle Grandpa helps Mr. Gus lift weights, Uncle Grandpa continues to say he'll just probably screw it up, then he helps Pizza Steve unscrew the lid to a pickle jar, Uncle Grandpa then says he can't solve anyone's problems, then helps Tiny Miracle with a math problem, he continues to say that he's a tangled knotted mess inside, he then helps Giant Realistic Flying Tiger make a dress, and Uncle Grandpa says it's time for me to hang up my suspenders. Belly Bag makes Uncle Grandpa realize that he just helped everyone in the RV, then everyone thanks Uncle Grandpa, Belly Bag says that he can't help but help people and that it's in his nature. And for Uncle Grandpa to deny his nature would mean he would no longer be Uncle Grandpa, and Uncle Grandpa is who he is, so if you've got a problem with that, you would have to deal with Uncle Grandpa, and he helps kids the only way he knows how, and that is the Uncle Grandpa way, then Uncle Grandpa goes to go help some kids.
Tommy is in his room trying to come up with the perfect story but he believes that he has hit a writer's block, and he needs some new inspiration and adventure, Aunt Grandma tries to help Tommy but giving him a new Power Max Pro Laptop, Tommy is confused because he doesn't know how this has to do with adventure, Uncle Grandpa crashes the RV into Tommy's Room because Tommy wants an adventure, but adventure happens to be Uncle Grandpa's middle name, in his wallet it actually says this on his driver's license:

Priscilla says the year was 1993, and she was putting the finishing touches on her science fair project, when suddenly Uncle Grandpa crashes into her room and starts to hacky sack and Uncle Grandpa kicks the hacky sack too hard and the hacky sack lands on Priscilla's project, chipping a small piece off of it. Uncle Grandpa knew how to help Priscilla with her project, but instead he took her to Mars to play hacky sack with Martians, and with the project left unfixed Priscilla had gotten 2nd place for the science fair. After that Priscilla hated Uncle Grandpa and says it was all his fault, which is why Priscilla decided to actually help kids as Aunt Grandma, so they won't have to go on pointless adventures, Uncle Grandpa claims that he was actually trying to help her, by showing her that all work and no fun is no way to live a life, that or teaching her how to hacky sack, he was real into hacky sack.

Priscilla says no more Grandma nice guy, Uncle Grandpa fixes his face and says bring it on, and Priscilla punches Uncle Grandpa in the face, Uncle Grandpa says it again and gets punched again, then he says it one more time and gets punched one more time, Uncle Grandpa had enough of that and said if she want to hit his face, how do you like this, he then uses his head like a bat and swings and hits Priscilla. Both of them are pretty tired but they continue to fight, Mr. Gus says that someone should stop this fight, and Pizza Steve agrees with him and they continue to eat snacks from the vending machine.

Priscilla goes insane, grabs an umbrella, and jumps out of the window and flies away. Uncle Grandpa says "there goes a troubled woman" and he grows back his mustache, Mr. Gus says that this won't be the last time we'll see her, Pizza Steve states out that Uncle Grandpa kicked her butt and asks for a high five, but Uncle Grandpa can't since the fight broke every bone in his body.
