In the dining room, Bernard studies for a test while Craig packs his purse full of bottles. One of them flies out of the bag and hits Bernard. He kicks Craig out, who heads to Kelsey's house.

Kelsey makes him take his shoes off while she finishes reading her book and readies to head to the Creek. Craig looks at Kelsey's family portrait, consisting of her and her dad. He compliments her warrior cape and calls her lucky for not having any "annoying brothers". Kelsey calls her solitude the sacrifice of a warrior.

At the Creek, Craig, Kelsey, and J.P. finish their boat just in time for the Great Soda Bottle Race, officiated by Sailor Boy. As they watch the boats float down the Creek, Aaron trips on a nearby path and gets tagged, making him "it". Aaron tags Sailor Boy, who tags Kelsey. She faints. Kelsey is awoken by Craig and J.P. Everyone else has already fled. Craig suggests they go to the Trading Tree to find someone to tag.

J.P. gets there first, and trades a nine-volt battery for Spicy Beefers. He runs up to Kelsey and Craig as they arrive, tripping Bobby and spilling his bag of candy. Craig signals to Kelsey to tag him, but she refuses due to his vulnerability.

As they search for a more sporting target, Jason the Junior Forest Scout arrives, demanding that Kit give him free chips. She refuses. As Jason looks for something to trade, Kelsey sneaks up behind him. She reaches out to tag him, but changes her mind. J.P. calls out to her, alerting the Creek Kids to her presence. Jason yells "She's it!", causing them to scatter. She explains that she can't bear to doom any other Creek Kid to solitude. She decides that she must end the game, and Craig knows who to ask about how to do so.

At Elder Rock, the Stump Kids beckon the Elders of the Creek, offering chips and soda. Elder Mark accepts their offering and lets them in. Craig explains that they seek knowledge of tag, which causes the Elders, in the middle of a tabletop role-playing campaign, to gasp. Mark says that no one knows who started the game, but Elder Barry and Elder David argue otherwise. Kelsey interrupts them, revealing that she is "it". David freaks out and flips the table. She clarifies that she wants to end the game, which Mark says is impossible. At a dead end, the kids leave and go to the Stump.

J.P. tells Kelsey to tag a dog instead, but Kelsey says it doesn't count. Citing the Elders' wisdom, she insists she must leave the Creek forever to end the game. Craig sheds a tear at the thought and hugs Kelsey. This makes him "it". Kelsey chases after Craig so he can tag her back and remove his curse, but he refuses. He rallies them to stick together, and Kelsey comes up with the idea to tag someone who hates the Creek.

Some time later, J.P. leads Bernard into the Creek with the promise of an SAT preparatory course. Bernard sees through the ruse immediately. Craig jumps out of a tree and tells Bernard to touch his hand, but he refuses. Kelsey threatens him, which scares him off, so she gives chase. Bernard runs past the Trading Tree, knocking over the Elders. Kelsey throws her sword at Bernard, knocking him over. Craig tags him.
