Stan and Francine have been having some relationship problems lately and they decide to take a break. This leads to both of them having their own separate adventures. Stan becomes obsessed with a rock band named "Cry Baby" and he starts using his CIA skills to try and break into their dressing room. Meanwhile, Francine joins a support group for people who have lost their pets. She quickly becomes attached to a cute little turtle named Mr. Wrinkles.
As the episode progresses, we see that Stan's obsession with the band has taken over his life. He spends all his time listening to their music, trying to break into their dressing room, and even getting a Cry Baby tattoo. His friend Krampus tries to convince him to give up his obsession but Stan won't listen. Krampus then decides to take matters into his own hands and kidnaps the lead singer of Cry Baby.
On the other hand, Francine's attachment to Mr. Wrinkles becomes concerning when she starts treating him like a baby instead of a turtle. She even dresses him up in little clothes and carries him around in a baby carrier. Her friends in the support group try to tell her that this behavior is not normal but Francine doesn't listen.
Eventually, both of their obsessions lead them to dangerous situations. Stan is forced to confront his obsession with Cry Baby when he realizes that Krampus has kidnapped the lead singer. Meanwhile, Francine's behavior towards Mr. Wrinkles leads to him getting sick and she has to rush him to the vet.
In the end, both Stan and Francine realize that their behavior was unhealthy and they reconcile. Stan apologizes to Krampus and returns the lead singer of Cry Baby. Francine learns to let go of her attachment to Mr. Wrinkles and starts treating him like a turtle again.
