Synopsis[]
Cricket and Remy challenge Vasquez to what may be the biggest and toughest snowball fight they've ever had. Meanwhile, Tilly creates a snowperson, and with the help of Nancy, helps it fulfill its own bucket list.
Plot[]
Snow has fallen across Big City in a surprise snowfall overnight, and following a newscast from Ronald Featherman, Cricket and Remy are shown having snowball fights with each other. When they are about to play for the fourteenth time, Remy suggests they play as a team; all they need is someone they can compete against. Their only option is Vasquez, who refuses to play with them because as Remy's bodyguard, he cannot fight against him once.
To get around Vasquez's rule, Cricket and Remy secretly plan to fire Vasquez so he's against Remy, and when the snowball fight is over, hire him back. The plan goes off to a good start, with Remy firing Vasquez and Cricket promising he give them a good game, and get a ten second head start. The boys leave, unaware of Vasquez wanting to take the snowball fight way too seriously now that Remy's fired him.
Meanwhile, Tilly and Nancy have built a snowperson whom Tilly names Margaret, and with the snow melting later that night, she only has one day to live. However, her bucket list is excessively short, consisting of only being built and melting, as time moves so fast for a snowperson. Nancy is against this and decides to fill up the list and make Margaret's only day to live the best ever.
Cricket and Remy finish preparing their snowballs and prepare for Vasquez's arrival, but Cricket gets an abrupt surprise hit and destroys all the ammo, just before they get pelted. They find out Vasquez has arrived rather threateningly, using Gramma pretending to be him as bait, and chases them. During this, Tilly and Nancy take Margaret out back to fulfill Nancy's version of her bucket list, first by getting Bill to proclaim his love to her, then break up, before taking her to other places as well, all within a rather short matter of time.
Escaping into the city, Cricket and Remy are safe for only a few moments before Vasquez rounds on them again with a "Snowzooka". Cricket and Remy try to stop him, but he has started to see them as pesky bugs which he must squish flat, and they regret setting him up for this. Tilly suddenly shows up out of nowhere, derailing Vasquez's attack, and he promptly dismisses them and hits something else. As they leave, Tilly notices Margaret is beginning to melt, while Cricket and Remy decide the only way to stop Vasquez's rampage is to win the fight.
Tilly and Nancy reach Ruff Customers where Tilly struggles to finish a pizza party with Margaret, before Nancy starts to give her a bull ride. During this, Tilly begins to suspect something and tries to let Nancy know, but she keeps ignoring her. When she finally does get attention, they talk over skim milk and Nancy reveals why she was doing this: Margaret made her think of Tilly and all the time she missed her when in jail, and with her getting older, she worries it will all pass by. Tilly reassures her what's important in life is spending time with each other, and even though Margaret is only living for one day, they have a whole lifetime to share. Nancy apologizes for her rushed bucket list, and Tilly places Margaret's remains in the freezer to keep with them forever.
Vasquez returns to the mansion where he heat-detects what appeared to be Cricket and Remy, but is really Gramma and Benny as bait; the boys then emerge, having removed all their clothes and hid under the snow to lower their temperature so Vasquez couldn't find them. They finish off by dumping a bucketload of snow on him and seemingly appear to have won, but Vasquez escapes and traps Cricket in a snowball and prepares to attack Remy with it. Having had enough, Remy declares that he wants the game to be over and urges Vasquez to willingly finish him off; this causes Vasquez to come to his senses and realize what he had done. He and Remy embrace and make up, Cricket declaring that love conquers all just before Gramma makes him into a snowperson with Benny as punishment for using them as bait.
