Plot

This time she gets into trouble because of her exaggerated stories - especially with a tale of how she gave her mother's new umbrella to a cowboy riding a purple fire engine. The catch? The cowboy story turns out to be true!

Notes
- Trivia
- This episode is both a sequel and a remake, being a remake of #FP05: “You're Not Going to Believe This” and following up on the events of the previous episode, #43: “Back to School”.
- Will Ryan's characterization of Mr. Gutwrench in Leslie's fantasies sounds somewhat like his later character Harlow Doyle, while his portrayal of the "real" Mr. Gutwrench, Mr. Garrison, sounds like a bumbling version of Eugene.
- Lucy compares Leslie to the Girl Scouts, the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" and Mother Teresa, while Leslie compares Lucy to Benedict Arnold.

Quotes
Lucy Cunningham-Schultz: So let me get this straight. A cowboy with a big, floppy hat and silver spurs rode up to you on a purple hook-and-ladder fire engine, and asked to use your mother’s new umbrella?
Leslie: Yeah, that's it.
Lucy Cunningham-Schultz: Well, you're not exactly a Girl Scout, you know. I mean, you make the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" look like Mother Teresa!
