Megan will call out to you as you walk by her ranch. She's glad to see that you've finished your farm work for today, although she's struggling with hers. Lately she's been trying a variety of health supplements. She has tried many, but so far she hasn't had any beneficial effects. Megan wonders if there is an easier way to become healthy. You suggest that she talk with Dr. Ford, and so you accompany her to the clinic.

Ford was about to take a short break when the two of you arrive. Megan apologizes and asks if he would listen to her problem. After hearing the story, Ford feels that Megan's health is still overall youthful. Megan is glad to hear his opinion, even if it was for something so trivial. She asks if there is anything she should be doing. Ford thinks for a bit and then asks how is her diet. She tells him that she eats lots of vegetables. Well, vegetables are good, but Ford tells her that fish is also nutritious.

Megan doesn't like fish! She says she'll never eat it. Ford tells her she can supplement the fish with vegetables to make a more balanced meal. It has calcium and vitamins, is good for eye health, and the taurine it contains can help with relieving fatigue. Ug, Megan has heard enough; she asks what you think. You agree with Ford. Megan admits that fish sounds like it is nutritious, but she just doesn't like to eat it.

You offer to cook fish for her. Ford feels that's a good idea; if Megan doesn't see how it is cooked, she might be more inclined to end up eating it without knowing. Megan is willing to take up this fishy challenge. Ford is interested in hearing how it turns out and asks that you tell him the outcome later.

Back at Megan's house you've cooked up a nice meal for Megan, Colin, and Hector. Megan says it smells delicious, and since you've made the effort to cook it she's going to eat her first fish dish. If anything happens though it will be your fault! Hector assures her that nothing bad will happen. They try the food; surprisingly, Megan really liked it! She had no idea that fish was so delicious. Hector and Colin are skeptical of his mom's sudden change in attitude. Colin wonders if she got sick from eating the fish. Megan feels so good that she excuses herself from the table to go outside for a nice walk.

After she leaves, Hector admits he's never seen his mom like that before. Colin thinks they should go search for her when Megan returns to the house. She says she somehow found herself outside in front of the animal barn and she doesn't know why. She doesn't remember anything after she ate the fish! Megan notices the food on the table. Maybe if she ate it a little at a time she'd get use to eating fish. Colin is a little scared of grandma's strange behavior and wonders if she really is sick. Hector wonders if maybe Megan shouldn't be eating fish.
