The news team prepares for Gracie's school fieldtrip to WURG, and Kelly informs Chuck that Gracie has been having problems with a class bully. While Kelly wants to handle the situation diplomatically by calling the school principal and holding a conflict resolution session, Chuck feels that Gracie should deal with the bully herself in a more direct and corporeal manner. Chuck's paternal instincts seem to rub off on Kelly as she takes matters into her own hands and causes quiet a stir. Meanwhile, Marsh must prove to Gary that he can read "Casey at the Bat" to the children without crying, Montana is outdone by a precocious young weather girl in Gracie's class, and Ryan revisits his awkward elementary school days when he encounters a doppelganger of himself.
