Dot winning the capture the flag game, seconds before falling in a sinkhole
The episode begins with the Harvey Girls playing with the Bloogey Boys, a game of capture the flag. They wait on a hill watching the boys while they drink a watermelon flavored juiceboxes. Dot says that drinking all that juice, sooner or later will make them go to the bathroom. Audrey not willing to wait, plans a direct attack with Lotta nodding, but Dot interrupts her saying that she made the perfect garments for this scenario based on capes along with giving a monologue of not giving up after waiting around 37 minutes.
Meanwhile, Fredo and Pinkeye are distracted during their mission to spy on the girls, so Dot and Audrey go to Melvin. The girls manage to capture their flag, but while Dot celebrated, she falls into a sinkhole and Lotta manages to recover her by smashing the surrounding terrain. As they wonder how to make money to cover the hole that bothered Dot, Lucretia enters the scene flattering Dot's cape and offering money when asked if she wanted to have one.
Dot generating profits with the cape business
The girls decide to enter the cape business while they make ideas, so they establish a small, informal business in the street called Capé Diem. There Dot begins to convince the kids on the block to buy caps like Tiny, The Bow and Pinkeye. The girls eventually earn enough money to cover the sinkhole. When Lucretia was being attended, Dot notes that the cape she had chosen to buy has a sewing fault. Therefore, Dot does not want her to take it because the cape has imperfections. Audrey notes that the damage is banal and gives it to her.
In the park, the girls throw the pasta to repair the sinkhole. When they repaired the hole, Dot notes that the park is not quite perfect and plans to repair and beautify: the slide making it fifty-mile one; the water fountains making it a dancer watermelon water fountain; giving a makeover to some raccoons and have a red panda as an official pet. Fireworks blaze off and explode as this was her imagination. Therefore, she wants to attract more customers outside Harvey Street by doing a fashion show.
Audrey rescuing Dot after falling in a second sinkhole
In Capé Diem, Dot makes suggestions for the girls, however, she takes perfection too seriously when she makes the girls put sequins one by one along with making them put more sequins in order to double the brightness of the capes. At the park, when Dot asked them to pose in a somewhat awkward position for the fashion parade, Melvin arrives and asks them if they want to play Harvey Street-style Kickball, which they both were tempted.
Dot arrives on the scene and gets upset, so wearing a villain cape similar to Dracula's, manifests herself in the kickball field. In that place, the girls try to let Dot give up her motivation to continue perfecting the park. Dot, refusing to leave and continue in the cape business, kicks the kickball, so hard that it reaches the space and arrives back breaking the capes of the parade. Dot gets angry at what happened and begins to do a tantrum jumping, however, the terrains where Dot was jumping in, was a poorly covered sinkhole, and she is held by a root. The girls end up rescuing her and Dot leaves the cape business, and although the capes were in a deplorable state, she still does the fashion parade saying that they are in season.
