When Maya insists otherwise, Penny calls her superficial and returns to the dance, with Maya conceding. Oscar arrives when he realizes that Penny's dressed up for the dance; forcing her to finally sit him down to tell him that she's becoming a woman. He finally accepts this as Penny dances with KG.

Penny's surprised that everyone's obsessed with the latest social media influencer Makeup Boy (Bretman Rock), but she sees through his salesman-like tactics. To prove a point, Penny creates a video called Growing Up Proud. The video goes viral and the Gross Sisters, who now want legitimate compensation to start their rap careers, "ask" Penny to play their track on her next video. Penny keeps up her series and begins to rack up followers to the point that she has power to control people's views. She cancels Makeup Boy, ruining his career, and soon uses this ability to cancel LaCienega, the teachers and send Suga Mama away. Maya confronts Penny on her behavior and uses KG's drone to catch Oscar getting paid off by Wizard Kelly; sending it out to the internet and causing Penny to lose all of her followers.

He discovers that Penny is actually good, as he taught her when she was a little girl, and coerces her to join the team, despite her disliking the sport.

Meanwhile, Oscar has trouble working his single employee Mr. Carmichael, who is actually a monkey, and gets confronted by animal services.

Penny stubbornly stays the week, but soon regrets it and has to pay off everything to get her old life back. Oscar, having been given Roker's offer by Dijonay, comes to talk sense into Penny and she agrees to return. They go up against Roker in a basketball game with Oscar indirectly winning and are both sent back home to their old lives.

Meanwhile, Zoey is made drum major, despite her not having any rhythm, and seeks out Bobby to help train her in the ways of the funk. Feeling guilty, Penny invites Ms. Hill to stay with her and her family, but quickly regrets it as she is a bossy teacher even when not working. She decides to hold a fundraiser to get Ms. Hill back on her feet, but no one at the school assembly will help, that is until Zoey uses what Bobby taught her to excite the crowd into donating.

LaCienega is getting prepared for her quinceañera when her cousin LaBrea Avanúñez (Princess Nokia) and her mother Melrose (Eva Longoria) arrive.

Pa wants nothing to do with Suga Mama, but another relative named Myrtle (Debbie Allen) invites them in where the rest of the family is very cordial and inviting. Oscar immediately picks up some wrangling habits that make Pa proud, Penny hangs out with her cousins where she learns to live without technology and Bobby makes music with June Bug (Lil Nas X). It becomes apparent that Suga Mama's discomfort comes from her father's blatant sexism of refusing to let her join in any activities.

After being insulted by Pa Towne, Suga Mama decides to leave Towne and Penny joins her after she finds out that LaCienega is now dating Kareem (courtesy of Dijonay). They wander the desert before encountering Native American Quanah (Wes Studi) and his grandson Tyee (Forrest Goodluck), who Penny falls in love with. Years ago, Suga Mama was set to marry Quanah, but laws at the time prevented them from doing so. They planned to run away together, but Quanah chose to stay because Pa Towne threatened him and because he felt he could do more for his community, which he has done so. The rest of the Townes brings the group back and the following day, they attend the rodeo. Oscar is doing well at first until the bull he is riding becomes too much for him. Finally answering his cries, Suga Mama tames the bull in front of everyone, finally making Pa Towne realize that Suga Mama could do anything. They finally make up with one another and Suga Mama and Quanah agree to remain friends. As the Prouds finally leave, Penny accepts her family history. In a post-credits scene, Kareem tells Penny that he and LaCienega are not dating. Penny tells him that's it's okay and puts on the hat that Tyee gave her when she left Towne and says it's "from a friend", leaving Kareem confused.

Fed up with her irresponsible behavior, Trudy locks Penny out of the house and refuses to let her in to teach her a lesson. Oscar gives Penny some bus money to go to Suga Mama's house. While she takes her in, she knows of Penny's misdeeds and subjects her to a variety of chores that tire her out. Even when her friends show up, they get dragged into helping out around the house. To further annoy her, Trudy announces that she, Oscar and the twins are heading to New York City to see her sister's new play for the week. Just as Penny finally gets used to her new routine, Suga Mama suddenly falls down the stairs and is stuck in a wheelchair. At first, she is scared that Penny will take her revenge on her, but she instead agrees to take care of her and Bobby. As the rest of the Prouds return home, Trudy is happy to see that Penny has improved as she admits that she did it all out of love. Penny and Trudy make up.
