The students are excited for Picture Day, but they believe nothing will happen to Cody because he has been abused for so many episodes. And Courtney felt terrible and worried about Cody because she was so concerned for his safety.

In confession, Courtney thinks that Cody's will be his last chance to make it through here before it's too late, so she made sure to have the classroom in the best condition she could, hoping it would make a positive difference in Cody's life. Previously, when she started daycare and met Cody, they became best friends. Courtney had a sense of responsibility for Cody, so she wanted to make sure he was safe and well cared for.

In The Liar, the evil Circle Girl, aka Future Courtney, defeats Future Courtney, returns to her time, and shares the candy with all of her friends. So Circle Girl decided to get revenge on those kids because she felt betrayed that Courtney hadn't looked out for Cody when she had the chance. Meanwhile, Courtney is pretending nothing happened to Cody because she doesn't want to tell them that she is worried about him, but the kids look curious about her.

Suddenly, Circle Girl jumps inside the daycare, and the kids get panicked. Circle Girl announces that she has come to take revenge on the kids for what they did to Cody, claiming that she is taking back what was stolen from him. Circle Girl prepared to destroy the daycare with her flashing lightning, but Courtney, Cody, Izzy, Duncan, Gwen, and Lightning escaped from Circle Girl. Courtney, Cody, Izzy, Duncan, Gwen, and Lightning, on the other hand, took the wrong path into the cave's waterfall to escape from her. Then, all of a sudden, six kids were sent into New York City by a blue moon floating into the waterfall's vertex.

In New York City, six kids fall into the ocean and land in the sand. The six kids were so surprised to find themselves in a strange city after narrowly escaping Circle Girl's wrath. They're walking into New York City to find out where it is. Meanwhile, a new employee named Jerry is looking for work at the bookstore, as is his new boss, Dave. They're talking to each other about a new employee. Jerry is eager to work, and Dave is happy to have a new employee. Meanwhile, the kids explore the city, but Cody visits Jerry at his bookstore. Jerry didn't notice Cody because he was busy, while Courtney, Izzy, Gwen, Lightning, and Duncan were making quite a ruckus. Cody fell into the box and closed it. Jerry finally noticed Cody was missing and was about to pick up the box and go through his house. The kids had to follow Jerry because they knew Cody was in the box.

The maxi taxi drove into Jerry's house late at night, and kids were hiding behind bushes and watching his windows while his wife, Grace, read the book. They saw Jerry and Grace having a conversation about the new employee, Cody, who had recently disappeared without a trace after going to Grace's room. Meanwhile, Circle Girl walked by herself to find a new castle, and she saw Belvedere Castle. She walked into her castle, and she had an evil plan to destroy the kids.

Meanwhile, Cody had just returned from Grace's room, but something seemed different about him. The kids went inside Jerry's house, and they were preparing to open the box when Cody disappeared because he ran into Grace's room. Everyone was surprised when they noticed that Cody was missing, but he's hiding in the box, and Jerry's going to pick up the box. Without warning, Grace's door swung open, and Cody walked backward, but Grace was in her room and made Cody scream. Cody had taken the box and was holding it protectively in front of himself, and Grace was trying to comfort him. And then Jerry opened the box and stunned the kids, making Jerry and the kids start screaming at each other. Everyone was startled and confused, not understanding what was going on. Grace sees children and thinks they are real cartoons. And Jerry began to faint as a result of the shock and surprise.

The next morning, the kids wake Jerry up and tell him what happened last night. Then kids began to comfort him, making him feel better. Jerry couldn't believe his eyes—he saw these children talking and walking like real cartoons. The kids decided to help protect them. Jerry was so impressed with their courage and kindness, and Grace was so moved that she opened up her heart and decided to be more kind. Meanwhile, in New York City, the other kids had to find those kids because they got lost in the big city.

At Jerry's house, Grace lets the kids draw themselves because they're cartoons. Jerry and the kids were discussing their new plan; Jerry had to go to work at the bookstore, and the kids, with the exception of Cody, had to stay with Grace. Jerry and the kids soon arrived at the bookstore where he worked, and Dave looked at the kids, but he was confused about how they looked like cartoons. Dave asked Jerry who the kids were and what they were doing there. Dave is pleading with Jerry to help him protect them, and Jerry nods in agreement. And then Jerry puts the kids in charge at the bookstore, and they're doing well. Jerry explains to Dave that these are not ordinary children but rather cartoon characters brought to life. Jerry was so proud of them.

Meanwhile, Jerry, Dave, and the kids were walking down the street when Circle Girl started playing in the middle of the building, causing the storms. Suddenly, the group was plunged into chaos as Circle Girl created a swirling vortex of wind and rain, threatening to engulf them all. The children chose to flee the storms and lightning strikes on buildings. Jerry and Dave protect them and try to run away from the storm, and Courtney uses a mirror and lights a blast into the mirror, right next to Circle Girl's blast. Jerry and Dave shielded the kids, pushing them towards safety as they ran into Jerry's house. Circle Girl was fuming at the kids for the last straw.

At Jerry's house, Grace and Cody decided to play the jigsaw puzzles. While Grace and Cody enjoyed the jigsaw puzzles, Jerry, Dave, and the kids ran inside to explain what happened. Grace thinks that maybe they'll need to be careful from now on; otherwise, things like this will happen more often, and then Courtney will feel more worried about Cody. Then Lightning, Gwen, Duncan, and Izzy talk to her and ask why she is so worried today, and Courtney tells the truth: she is worried Cody could be in danger due to their recklessness. They're happy and say Cody will be fine, but Courtney is serious that Cody will die soon, and they're walking away with a happy face. But Courtney is about to cry softly alone because she thinks that Cody is really in danger, and it's all because of their recklessness.

At night, Courtney sits in the tall building, sad, and Jerry approaches her. Jerry noticed the sadness in Courtney's face and asked her what was wrong. Courtney should turn around and express her concern that Cody is abusing him too much and that Cody will end up in serious danger as a result of their carelessness. Jerry told Courtney the short story about Jerry's sister protecting him. Jerry's story made Courtney feel a little bit better, and she began to explain the situation to Cody. Courtney began to hug Jerry for making her feel better.

They plan to return home the next day, but Cody has an accident, scares the butterfly, and falls into a well. Everyone except Courtney was sad because the kids had to save him. And they're rescuing Cody, but Courtney says she doesn't want to see Cody die, and her tears start, and she starts running away alone. Except for Cody, who had to stay behind because he was worried about Courtney, the kids had to follow her. Although they all wanted to help Cody, they knew that it was up to Courtney to make the decision.

Courtney sat down on a bench in Central Park and began crying because she felt helpless and guilty. Somehow she saw a picture of Cody and Courtney's friendship and knew that she had to do what was best for him. She had a fantasy about Cody being safe in New York City, and she decided that the best way to help him was to send him back home. Courtney was relieved that Cody was no longer in danger. She wiped away her tears and stood up. The kids find Courtney and apologize for putting her in this situation, and they promise to help keep Cody safe. Courtney smiled through her tears and told them she was happy they were willing to help.

In the bookstore, the kids found the book on how to get home, but Circle Girl was here, and Courtney was captured by Circle Girl. The kids were kicked out of the bookstore by Circle Girl, and they're rushing into Jerry's house. Jerry, Dave, and Grace had already arrived, and he quickly came up with a plan to get Courtney, but Cody had to save her because Courtney loves Cody. Dave, Jerry, Grace, and the kids devised a plan to rescue Courtney and defeat Circle Girl.

In Castle, the group of kids—Jerry, Dave, and Grace all worked together to come up with a plan to rescue Courtney and take down Circle Girl. The other kids are here to rescue her, and Cody had to be the one to take on Circle Girl because he was the only one Courtney trusted. In the meantime, Cody rescued Courtney, and Jerry, Dave, and Grace formulated a plan to confuse Circle Girl and distract her from realizing that Courtney was being rescued. But thunder was being created by Circle Girl, and she prepared to destroy the kids. Jerry, Dave, and Grace worked quickly to create a makeshift electric arc that stunned Circle Girl and caused her powers to become ineffective, but she got distracted.

Cody, ever the brave warrior, prepares to destroy Circle Girl; it's Cody vs. Circle Girl. Cody rose to the occasion, and with courage and determination, he prepared to face Circle Girl, who had fallen into the river and vanished. The kids cheered, but Cody died, and Courtney collapsed to her knees, overcome with grief and guilt for her role in Cody's death. Courtney hoped that he would wake up, either sleeping or cloned, but it didn't work, and Cody is truly dead. The kids felt shock, disbelief, and sadness at the loss of their friend, and Courtney began to cry and say that she wished she could go back and undo what had happened. She is about to cry, and the children are upset.

Cody, on the other hand, began to float and is still alive. The kids watched in awe as Cody began to rise off the ground, his body glowing with an unearthly light. Cody was happy to see them, and the kids broke into smiles, feeling a sense of joy and relief. Courtney walked to Cody and put her hand on his shoulder, marveling at the surreal moment, and she smiled and hugged him tightly, feeling safe and secure in the arms of her best friend. With Cody's help, the daycare was being rebuilt back to normal. Courtney was amazed, not only at Cody's power but also at his kindness, and Chef was here Chef, the owner of the daycare, was here as well, smiling and looking on at what Cody had done. Dave, Jerry, and Grace were also there, looking on in admiration at the work Cody had accomplished.

At Central Park, Courtney and Cody sat down on the bench together. Courtney was overcome with emotion and amazed at what Cody had been able to do. Courtney blushed at Cody with a smile, and the two of them shared a moment that none of their friends would ever forget. And Courtney and Cody began to kiss each other tenderly, their lips connecting in a passionate embrace that seemed to last forever, and they watched the moon with the stars in the night sky.
