When Caroline arrives at the cupcake shop, she realizes that for the first time there are a flock of customers.
Max tells Caroline that she revamped the cupcake menu to have cupcakes named after ‘90s celebrities. Although Caroline thinks that Max should have discussed with her first on renaming the cupcakes, it’s safe to say that she’s on board with the idea when hipsters love nothing but confectionery nostalgia.
Business is going well until a puppeteer (guest star Andy Dick) with a Geppetto complex scares customers away with his marionette dolls.
While Caroline wants to solve the problem nicely by telling J. Petto (as he prefers to be called) to move elsewhere, Max cannot keep her snarky comments to herself. And when charming Pierre, the puppet, puts the moves on Caroline, creepiness is the least of her worries.
J. Petto insists that the girls contribute to his marionette fund like Pierre is some sort of prostitute, but the girls are keen on shooing the “serial killer” away.
When the puppeteer reveals that he received a national endowment for his work, Max is appalled. “What! The government paid for stuff like this, and I can’t get my back tooth fixed?”
The girls tell the puppeteer to move before they call the cops and go back to the confines of their cupcake shop.
A customer lets Max know that he dropped his David Hasselhoff cupcake before J. Petto comes inside the shop to tell the girls that they can’t treat someone who has studied puppetry in Paris that way.
J. Petto makes a glamorous entrance when he slips on David Hasselhoff and lands on Pierre. The puppeteer quickly leaves the shop despite Caroline’s offer for a free cupcake or coffee.
During the girls’ shift at the diner, the waitresses are served court papers because of the incident at the cupcake shop.
Han takes a look at the court papers and confirms that the girls are in fact being sued. To make nice, Max and Caroline try to smooth the situation over at J. Petto’s apartment.
The girls are greeted by another marionette when they knock on the door. Caroline asks for J. Petto and the marionette returns inside to retrieve the puppet master.
When Max and Caroline discover that J. Petto is not the one hurt but Pierre is the one damaged with a cast, J. Petto asserts that Pierre is his livelihood.
So what will it take for the lawsuit to go away? J. Petto insists on $1,000, and if Max says another remark, he’ll raise the price.
The girls decide to use Max’s gift of ‘90s trivia to enter in a hipster contest in order to win the money.
Nevertheless, when the girls return with the money, J. Petto demands more money. Caroline tells Max to go outside the apartment, so she can persuade the puppeteer, but when Caroline can’t even sway the creepy guy to drop the lawsuit, Max has something else up her sleeve
Before leaving the apartment, Max had snatched Pierre. When J. Petto realizes his marionette has gone missing, he knocks on the cupcake shop’s door.
Max has a pair of scissors on hand to mangle Pierre’s strings if J. Petto doesn’t drop the suit. In addition, Max has created a doll orgy of sorts when she practically defiles Pierre in front of the puppeteer. Caroline with a recorder on hand claims that she will upload this video for all to see and his business aimed towards children would be ruined.
Max and Caroline succeed in swaying J. Petto after all. The girls discuss possibly getting insurance for their shop in case another incident happens again, but what are the chances that another accident occurs?
Do you have YOUR business covered properly?
