Plot[]
The episode opens up with Safetytchi signaling kids to cross the street and greeting Kuchipatchi, Mametchi, and Memetchi who are going to school. She then overhears two women talking and excitedly picks up the crosswalk and goes towards them to listen in. They talk about how Necktietchi has over 100 ties that look the same so that when he changes ties, no one will notice. They also mention how Mr. Turtlepedia likes fashion so he changes the cover of his book shell with different colors and patterns. Hiding behind a bush, Safetytchi writes all the information down in a notebook and becomes determined to sniff out more gossip.
Later at Tamagotchi School, Uwasatchi advertises the latest scoops on the newspaper and tosses them all over the place. Mametchi picks one up and and is shocked that it says that he sleeps with Hero Lovelin's costume pajamas to be just like her. He exclaims that it's a misunderstanding; his sister Chamametchi is the one who wears the pajamas and he wears Gotchiman pajamas instead. Memetchi and Kuchipatchi state that they know the stuff in the newspaper are just false rumors and Kuchipatchi adds that it's fun to read them anyway. He takes Mametchi's newspaper and laughs upon reading a rumor about Memetchi. She immediately snatches it and becomes angry when she reads a rumor that her hair curl is fake. Memetchi is furious, up to the point of crying and ripping the newspaper. The boys try to calm her down and Mametchi repeats her advice of nobody believing Uwaswatchi's rumors, but she lashes out at them saying Uwasatchi is in big trouble now.
Class day ends and Uwasatchi walks away from school while the gang hide behind bushes. Memetchi explains to Mametchi that her plan is to discover Uwasatchi's secret so she can expose it to the public which Kuchipatchi doubts will work. They then notice Uwasatchi hiding behind a nearby bush and running through other bushes to listen in on Makiko and Flowertchi's conversation. Makiko says that Flowertchi's hairpin resembles a four-leaf clover to which Flowertchi responds that it's an amulet for lovers. After writing it down, Uwasatchi hides in another bush to listen in on another conversation from two women. They talk about how making a mysterious phone call after midnight will cause something strange to happen. One of them clarifies that they heard a mysterious voice on the phone and then a scream once the call ended. As Uwasatchi scoots through the bushes, she bumps in her mother, Safetytchi.

They're both surprised to see each other and impressed with each other's progress in finding gossip around town. Mametchi, Memetchi, and Kuchipatchi are surprised to find out Safetytchi is Uwasatchi's mother and Kuchipatchi adds that they look alike. Safetytchi then concludes that they should go home and the gang follows them on their way back. The two arrive at a fountain and Safetytchi tosses her case which turns into a parasol table with broadcasting tools on it. It's revealed to be for Uwasatchi and Safetytchi's radio show where they broadcast the rumors they gathered for the day. They proceed to talk about the rumors that they heard today, starting with Necktietchi's 100 ties. They move on to Mr. Turtlepedia's fashion sense and the haunted phone call which briefly cuts away to reveal Ojitchi as the haunted caller. The rumor of Mametchi's Lovelin pajamas is then said, flustering Mametchi and causing Memetchi to realize they'll tell the town of her fake curl. She runs up and tries to intercept them, but is too late; Safetytchi tells it and adds that she's bald. Memetchi becomes overcome with intense fury and screams in anger. The boys try again to calm her down, but she snaps and the screen fades to black.
The next day at Tamagotchi School, Memetchi goes around telling everyone that Safetytchi's hair is made out of green cotton candy and that the flavor of her hair is the most delicious thing ever. The kids believe it and she goes out to town to spread the fake story there. At Tama Cafe, the trio is eating cake along with Lovelitchi. Memetchi is excited for plans of revenge and Lovelitchi responds that she ignores the rumors she gets as there's too many to listen to. The gang agrees with her advice, but Memetchi is still bent on making Safetytchi pay for lying about her hair.
The scene then shows various town residents spreading the rumor of Safetytchi's cotton candy hair. Safetytchi is shown signaling kids to cross the street and she says hello to the trio who approach her. A rumbling is suddenly heard and the four look up to see a stampede of people running towards Safetytchi, some talking about her "delicious hair" and others wanting lucky clover hidden in her hair. She panics and runs away from the advancing mob. As the trio watch the mob chase after Safetytchi , Mametchi says the rumor must have changed each time it was told until it became nothing like the original story. They then notice Uwasatchi hiding in the bushes writing down that her mom has a lucky clover in her hair, the trio looking scared at how Uwasatchi is willing to get the scoop on her parent.
