At the farmer's market, with Anne hiding her face beneath a cloth and sunglasses, Hop Pop tells the kids to advertise their product as best they can because there isn't a customer to be seen near the family's scream bean stand. Despite Sprig's enthusiasm, nobody in the market is interested in buying from the family's stand, especially due to their usual revulsion towards the downcast Anne.
As she continues to mirthlessly try selling scream beans, a pair of youngsters run by Anne and bump into her enough to make her disguise fall away. Everyone present is shocked to see the current state of their human visitor and Anne fearfully prepares for their scorn and ridicule. But to her surprise, the townsfolk aren't repulsed by her acne. In fact they think Anne's zits are beautiful "ruby-red warts" and begin praising her for having them. Though taken aback by the complete turnaround the public has just made regarding their opinion of her, Anne rejoices over having finally gotten the acceptance of Wartwoord's citizens.
Meanwhile, at Wartwood City Hollow Mayor Toadstool finds himself in a crisis: he is behind in the polls! He frets to loyal toady named... well, Toady, that the negative PR he's gotten for something as "minor" as embezzling money from the townsfolk could affect his chances of reelection next month and wonders how they'll be able to shift the public's perception in their favor. Toadstool then notices the townsfolk showering Anne in adulation for her zits from his window and slyly declares that he's just found the miracle they need.
