Plot
The Greens and Remy arrive at Downtown Smalton, a shopping strip, and decide to drop by Patti's Diner, the Greens' usual eating spot in the country. As they all enter, they are greeted by the owner Patti who is happy to see the Greens, Tilly especially as she makes her favorite blueberry pie. Gramma Alice is put off that Tilly considers Patti's blueberry pie her favorite and tries to talk her out of having it, but Patti says she will bake a new pie. Bill is disgusted with having a liverwurst sandwich as his "usual", but Cricket wants a usual too and demands a meat-wich to be it, despite Bill warning him that having a usual isn't as fun as he thinks as they will keep coming nonstop. Meanwhile, Remy stops by the gift shop to get something for Vasquez, but cannot find the right gift.
As Tilly talks about how great Patti's pies are, Alice confronts Patti in the kitchen and challenges her to a bake off to see who can make the best pie, which Patti casually accepts. Wanting the meat-wich to be his usual, Cricket demands another one from the waiter Wayne. Bill warns Cricket about getting a usual, but Cricket is so determined that he insists that Wayne not write it down and have it to memory. Wayne panics and give Cricket a carrot on a bun so Cricket makes a song for him and he gets it this time. Patti and Alice finish baking, but when Alice tries Patti's pie, she concludes that it is the best pie she has ever tasted.
Alice attempts to stop Patti from delivering her pie, but Tilly catches them. Just then, Remy, who decided to buy every souvenir, returns and trips, nearly crushing Patti's pie. Alice rescues it, but her pie is destroyed instead. Alice admits that she was jealous and worried that Tilly would not want her to bake anything for her ever again, but Tilly tells her that she will always be her grandmother and love her no matter what. As everyone digs into the pie, Cricket decides to give up on the meat-wich to have some, but Alice tells him that he needs to finish it first, much to his shock. Bill quips at the fact Cricket disobeyed his warning from before and he is now stuck with his "usual" just like he did with his liverwurst sandwich, and the episode closes as Bill maniacally laughs over his son's misery.
