While Clover is trying to complete her homework, she can't think straight, and throws the teapot into a trash can, then hides it in a drawer, then under a rug, and finally behind some toys on her shelf, only for it to fall off and land beside her. Fed up with it, she sneaks out through her bedroom window then goes to Paradise Lake where she disposes of the teapot, which is witnessed by a fisher pony.
Shortly after Clover's father returns home, the fisher pony from earlier rings the doorbell and gives Clover's father the teapot his daughter tossed away. Angry with Clover for littering, her father sends her to her room. They talk later, and he explains that the teapot has nothing to do with her luck. Since she doesn't want it, he decides to incorporate it into his latest sculpture.

They go outside to repair the roof, and Clover wishes for the roof to fix itself. Unfortunately, all that happens is that Bon Bon drops a bucket of glue onto Clover.
That evening, Clover is in the bath, washing the glue off her. She sings a song bemoaning her bad luck, but is so busy doing so that she realizes too late that she's flooded the house. Her mother comes in, and angrily orders her to clean up the mess and then go to her room. Later, in bed, Clover is angry with the teapot for supposedly being unlucky, and throws it away in the bin outside.
The next day, a garbage pony sees the teapot and gives it back to Clover's mother, thinking she couldn't have meant to throw it away since it looks so nice. When Clover returns from school later, she is horrified to see the teapot again. Her mother can't understand why she threw it away. Clover shows her a note from Miss Hackney, saying Clover didn't do her homework. Clover says she couldn't concentrate because of the teapot, but her mother doesn't consider this a reasonable excuse, and grounds her for the rest of the day.

The sculpture is later for sale at an art show, where a pony takes a liking to it, and takes Clover's father aside to discuss a price. Clover decides that maybe the teapot brought good luck after all, but her mother suggests that the sculpture sold because it was good, not because the teapot was lucky.

** At the other girl's suggestion, Clover rubs the teapot and wishes for it to rain a jillion jangles. It only rains normal rain.
