Synopsis[]

S6E11B I'm happy to drive you, Meryl

Lola is determined to win the Minnie McFiggle.

At the elementary school, Lola is delivering attendance reports to Cheryl. However, Lola discovers that Meryl is subbing in for Cheryl. Meryl explains that Cheryl is busy with two other judges in finding a recipient worthy enough to win the Minnie McFiggle Award, a lifetime achievement award in pageantry. Excited about this award, Lola, while driving Meryl to the middle school, asks for more information about the award, where she is told that the award not only goes to the person who has won numerous accomplishments in pageants, but also for their contributions to the community. She is also told the other two judges that are working alongside Cheryl are Dana Dufresne and Howard McBride. Once Meryl is dropped off at the middle school, Lola declares that she will win the award.

Before long, Lola attempts to appease Cheryl, Dana and Howard by trying to do good deeds around them so they can consider her a candidate for the Minnie McFiggle. However, Lola does her good deeds extremely half-heartedly and only shows effort whenever she grabs any of the judges' attention. Her good deeds consist of helping Mr. Grouse across the street (after shoving him to drop his groceries) in front of Cheryl, picking up garbage at Tall Timbers Park (after deliberately placing it on the ground) in front of Dana, and pretending to be a candy striper at Sunset Canyon in front of Howard, who is a candy striper himself. The next day, as Lola gives Meryl more attendance records, she is informed that because of her good deeds from the day before, she now in the running for the Minnie McFiggle Award, and she might win it, much to Lola's glee.

At the mall, as Lola shops for a new dress for when she receives the award tomorrow night, she notices two pageant girls conversing with each other. Eavesdropping on their conversation, Lola overhears that the Minnie McFiggle is "cursed," as the previous two winners never won another pageant afterwards. Once the two girls leave, Lola fears that if she wins the Minnie McFiggle, her pageant career will be over and resolves to get herself disqualified before tomorrow night. She decides that, because doing good deeds got her running for the award, she can get herself disqualified by doing bad things. The next day, Lola begins to act like a monster (her words) around judges, like deliberately spilling Dana's coffee at the Burnt Bean, running over Howard's prize-winning topiaries, and revealing a major spoiler to Cheryl and Meryl's show. Later, as Lola eats ice cream at Auntie Pam's, she overhears from the two pageant girls that the judges reversed their decision to give Lola the award and have decided to give it to their new recipient, Diana Sherwood. Lola is eager to hear that she saved her career, when suddenly, her friend, Cricket Van Doren, arrives. When Lola tells Cricket that she is relieved to not be winning the Minnie McFiggle, Cricket is shocked that Lola would say that. When Lola explains about the award's "curse" by bringing up the last two winners' fates, Cricket reveals that the reason why those two girls never won another pageant afterwards was because they went on to accomplish bigger things like moving to Mars or being the youngest mayor of North Dakota. Realizing that the Minnie McFiggle is a good thing after all, Lola proclaims that she must get on the judges' good sides again.

S6E11B Lola realize how a terrible person she was

Lola realizes that she doesn't really deserve the Minnie McFiggle award.

At the mall, Lola discovers the three judges hanging out at the food court. Looking around for any potential methods to win them over again, Lola spots Flip fishing out coins from the fountain. Approaching Flip, Lola asks him if he can pretend to drown in the fountain so she can "save" him, and Flip agrees after being given $20 and two coupons for Lynn's Table. As Lola gets herself ready for her "act of heroism", she encounters Diana, who is doing volunteer work with a group of elders. Lola thinks that she's just pretending to be a good person so she can win the Minnie McFiggle, but Diana reveals that she doesn't know what that award is and is only helping the elders because it makes her happy. Lola refuses to believe her, but as she examines both Diana and the judges, she realizes that Diana isn't even attempting to get the judges' attention, meaning she really is just helping the elders out of the kindness of her heart. Eventually admitting that her actions are only beneficial to just herself, Lola decides to approach the judges and, after they assume she's trying to charm them in order to reverse their decision to not give her the award, apologizes for her actions and tells them to give the award to Diana, saying she truly deserves it for being a good person. As Lola leaves, Flip, believing it's his cue, pretends to drown in the fountain, only for Lola to tell him to forget about the plan.

Sometime later, it is revealed that Lola is doing more volunteer work at Sunset Canyon, this time, because she wants to out of the kindness of her heart. Howard, who is a member of the volunteer committee, tells Lola that because she stepped in during a time of need for one of the elders, they have decided to honor with an award: the Golden Bedpan. Just before Lola can express her excitement of winning the award, one of the candy stripers says that one of the elders needs help again, and Lola steps up to the task.
