Gumball has, through gritted teeth, prepared a special dinner for Alan, to apologise for the way he has treated him in the past. When Alan cancels, Gumball is overjoyed until a post on Elmore Plus reveals Alan lied about his Mum being sick, and is having a day of fun with his family instead. Gumball tracks down the traitor to give him a piece of his mind, but when he finds out his Mum really is sick he has to find a way to make it up to him.
