Synopsis

Lola wants to earn some money to pay for a birthday gift for her mother, so she starts working at Burger Palace as a trainee. But when Mom finds out that her own daughter is helping out Beth Hubbub, that arch-enemy of health food, she's beside herself. Both irritated and offended, Lola throws a real fit of teenage rebellion, even asserting that the Hubbubs are right. Of course, she does hope that once Mom receives her gift, she will understand why Lola took the job. In the meantime, however, Lola has spent all her pay on a new dress that Billy found appealing. But maybe Lola and Billy will dig up just what they want to give Mom a nice surprise, right at Burger Palace, of all places.
