The new girl is teased at school by Helga and the other girls, but she's soon accepted by everyone.

Helga, lost in a love reverie, writes 'Arnold loves Helga' on a wall, but changes the name to 'Lila' when the kids approach. Lila thinks that Arnold loves her until he explains the mistake. Then he falls for Lila and she is forced to break up with him.

The school is doing the play "Romeo and Juliet". Arnold lands the role as Romeo so Helga will do anything to beat out other girls to get the part of Juliet, so that she can kiss Arnold in the final scene.

A sleep-talking Helga confides into Bob's parrot about her love for Arnold. The next day, the parrot flies into Arnold's window, and it is up to Helga to get it.
