He tells them that Phoebe is not a nice person. The meeting is adjourned when Phoebe arrives with snacks.

Tension rises between Phoebe and Max as they discuss what to get their mom for her birthday. Max is still mad about Phoebe throwing an ice-skating party at the same night as the band's gig. They start fighting using their powers until Barb gets into the living room and asks them to cool it. She tells them that they should be grateful to have each other as it would be horrible living without seeing each other. Max and Phoebe ask how come they've never met Aunt Mandy if Barb were so close with her sister. Barb claims that Mandy is too busy saving the world. She begs them to at least get along for her birthday - it would be the best gift. As Barb walks out, Max and Phoebe promise not to get along but instead give their mom a different gift: track down their Aunt Mandy and bring her over for Barb's birthday.

Mandy booked a big gig but Barb bailed on her so that she can attend some random girl's cape ceremony. Barb thinks it's ridiculous for Mandy to be still mad at her for skipping the gig to attend her best friend's cape ceremony. Max is offended by what Barb did. Mandy turns invisible again and starts attacking the Thundermans. The family runs out of their own living room to hide in Max's Lair. Max locks the room with Thundertanium so Mandy can't get through. They're stuck there, wondering how long they will have to live there.

Aunt misbehavin - thundermans scared

While still stuck in the basement, Phoebe and Barb agree that Mandy is crazy for being still mad at her for bailing on the Electric McBooger Babes. But Max sees it differently. He stands up for Aunt Mandy saying that it is more than just the little performance - her sister didn't show up for something that was important to her and it hurt. Max gets emotional while explaining this. Barb wonders why Mandy never told her she was hurt but Max explains that maybe Aunt Mandy isn't the "touchy-feely" type. Maybe it's just easier for her to fight it. Max gets more and more emotional and in fact he switches sides and goes upstairs to help Mandy win the McBooger sisters' beef.

However, the celebrity says the deal has expired and now she wants to smash dessert all over Chloe. Both Chloe and Nora are not happy about it. Deena tells Chloe to order a cream puff so that she can hit Chloe's face with cream using a giant slingshot. Chloe is worried and scared because Deena is too mean. They watch as Deena pulls the slingshot, then Nora stops her. Nora says she wants to do it herself. Whaaat? Chloe put them into that mess in the first place, so she deserves it. Deena is so pleased to hear this since there's nothing meaner than a sister smashing cream on a little sister. Nora takes on the slingshot, aims at Chloe. But just before she shoots, she aims it at Deena, covering her face with cream. Deena is embarrassed. Nora, Billy and Chloe take the opportunity to steal the cake and teleport back home.
