Leo and the Stoll brother had a plan hatched, involving Frank and Hazel. They were going to trick Frank into believing he was meeting Hazel in a cottage in the woods for a romantic date then dump syrup on him and take photos. They agreed to get the fake note they had written to him and be ready at eight o'clock, then they scampered off to avoid suspicion. They didn't notice a bird in the tree where they were standing turn in Frank, who grinned as he hatched his own plan.

Leo put the finishing touches to his costume. He really didn't really look like Hazel, but in the dim light, he hoped that it would convince Frank to come close enough for the prank to go smoothly. Just as he was about to check his watch, the door of the cottage banged open and bounced off the wall. Frank stood in the door, dressed in a Mounties Uniform. He smiled when he saw Leo and strode over to him. Leo grinned to himself, and was about to unleash the syrup when suddenly, he found himself crushed against Frank's chest.
"Je t'aime, Hazel," he breathed into Leo's ear. Leo gulped and began wriggling, trying to get out. Frank chuckled.
"Pourquoi êtes-vous nerveux? Vous êtes un tricheur mexicain," Frank murmured, nuzzling Leo's neck with his nose. Leo struggled some more. He bet he looked like an episode of an old programme—the cat with a white stripe trying to escape from the clutches of the love sick skunk. But he froze. His French might not be so good, but he was sure Frank had said something about Mexico.
"Je sais que sur votre plan," Frank purred as he began nibbling on Leo' ear lobe and Leo lost it.
"I can't do this," he called out, finally freeing himself from Franks grasp. He tore off the wig and ran out the door as Frank took off after him, cursing all the way.
From behind a one way mirror, the Stoll brothers came out with a camera.
"Dude, Frank was right. Turning the prank around on Leo was awesome," they sang in unison.

Two days later, and Frank and Hazel were having a lovely picnic when they were joined by Piper.
"Um, Frank," she started.
"What's up?" Frank asked, taking a sip of his syrup.
"Do you know where Leo learned to sweat in French?" Piper asked.
"Not a clue," Frank said innocently.
Je t'aime, Hazel = I love you, Hazel
Pourquoi êtes-vous nerveux? Vous êtes un tricheur mexicain = Why are you nervous? You are a Mexican trickster/cheater
Je sais que sur votre plan = I know about your plan
