Synopsis
Cathy, because of Joji's request, makes a bar graph of her own, focusing on a humorous topic.

Opening/Closing Segment
Joji and Cathy are sitting on a desk together, and he gives her one of his graphs, detailing the number of typhoons that hit the country. The trend is noticeablely decresing, with Cathy recognizing the curve too. After realizing its importance and sleekness, she plans to make her own one, but this time, about her burps per day. While finding comedy over it, he encourages her to make one.

Intermission #1
Sitting beside a tree, Marj encounters the number of pets people own (of unknown origin). Four animals are used as examples, and in most to least morder: fish, dogs, cats, and birds. Marj wonders why there are no lizards as pets, and leaves after sharing the idea to others.

Intermission #1
Joji plays the game 'What Will Happen Next?', where he showcases situations that end with predictable endings, but the audience has to decide how it will resolute. Ogot leavs a leaky faucet, so his house ends up flooded, Marj's clumsiness ended up with a fallen bowl, and Cathy's dedication to acting for the school play paid off in the end.

A moment later, Cathy gives her data coverage to Joji, in a more personal style. Tuesday and Thursday rank among the highest of the weekends, while the weekends have the most burps, with one more on Saturday then Sunday. She gets reminded of writing labels after Joji brought it up. He also wants them to create their own bar graphs, calling the production fun in the process.

The Biggest Storm
Joji narrates the story of 'The Biggest Storm', basically a rundown of how storms hit and affect the country. Joji annotates the more complicated terms, such as 'scientists' and 'storm surge'. It ends with reccomendations of safety.
