In Muriel's bedroom, Muriel was in her bed with a nasty runny nose and she had a scarf around her neck and an ice bag on her head. A thermometer was in her mouth. She took it out and sneezed and put it back in her mouth.

Francesca took it out and she saw that Muriel did not look good at all.

Francesca: Boy Grandma Muriel you are burning up.

Bai Tza: Yeah Muriel I don't think we've ever seen you so sick.

Laney: Me neither.

Francesca: Maybe the remedy we made will help.

Courage: Here you go Francesca.

He handed her a tray and on it was a plate with a special gelatin.

Francesca: Thanks Courage. Here grandma try some of my special gelatin.

Lincoln: Will this stuff work?

Francesca: Grandma Muriel showed me how to make all of her special remedies.

Muriel: (Weakly) Okay Francesca.

Francesca took a spoonful of the gelatin and put it in her mouth. But it tasted terrible and she swallowed it.

Muriel: What was in there?

Francesca: I made it like you showed me with the right ingredients and a little drop of vinegar.

Muriel: Well you did try Frances... (Sneezes)

Earth: What can we use to cure her now?

Francesca: Hmm. How about Artichoke Syrup Soup?

Muriel: Okay.

Bai Tza: At least we didn't try leaches.

Lana: That would've been cool.

They went to the kitchen and started looking through recipe books and file cabinets full of cookbooks and recipe books.

Francesca: That recipe for Artichoke Syrup Soup has to be in here somewhere guys.

Bai Tza: I know. Muriel has so many books that it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Laney: No kidding. But these recipes are awesome. Dad would love them.

Lincoln: I'm sure he would Laney.

Lana: Some of these recipes look delicious.

Earth: They sure do.

Francesca: Did you find anything Courage?

Courage: Uh-uh.

Francesca: Lets see here. This looks promising. Aardvark Syrup Soup? Yuck!

The recipe showed part of an aardvark submerged in brown syrup.

Lana: That is disgusting! I may like gross things but that is disgusting.

Francesca turned the page.

Francesca: Armageddon Syrup Soup.

The recipe showed glowing magenta syrup with an atomic explosion coming out of the bowl.

She turned the page and she found it.

Francesca: Aha! Artichoke Syrup Soup. Found it.

But half of the page was torn off and this made it impossible to find it.

Francesca: Half of the page is missing.

Lincoln: That stinks.

Earth: Where are we gonna find it now?

Courage: I think I have an idea.

They went up to the attic and went to Computer for help.

Computer: Oh I see you all came to me.

Francesca typed in the recipe.

Computer: Recipe for Artichoke Syrup Soup how boring. Downloading Time: 43 hours.

Earth: Oh man.

Lincoln: This computer is much slower than the ones we have now.

Francesca: I know but he's our friend and the only computer we have in the farmhouse.

Courage: That's right.

They left while the recipe downloaded.

But then the computer started doing weird stuff.

Computer: VIRUS ALERT! Blast! What the dickens is going on? Who are you? What do you want?

It beeped and as they went to the kitchen to go get a snack the computer started sparking up.

Muriel got up out of bed and went to check on them.

Muriel: Guys? (Coughing) Any luck yet? (Opens the door) Guys?

She walked up to the computer.

Computer: Jest Poosh buttin "X". Buttin "X"

Muriel: Well that does seem pretty simple.

She pushed the X button and she became digital and everyone came in and they saw Muriel get sucked into the computer.

Courage: Did Muriel just get...

Bai Tza: Sucked into the computer? Yeah, it seemed like it.

Courage: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

They went to the computer.

Computer: (Weakly) Help.

Lincoln: What happened!?

Francesca: It must be a computer virus.

Earth: The recipe we downloaded must've had one and infected the computer.

Bai Tza: We got to go in there and get Muriel out of there.

Laney: But how?

Courage: What do I do? What do I do?

Computer: Scanner.

They went to the scanner and put their hands on the scan plate and they were beamed into the computer.

They went through a digital stream and were in the computer. They were all green and their skin structure was the same and was now green with the binary code.

Courage: I've been in here before.

Lincoln: This is so cool!

Laney: It sure is.

Muriel: Guys can you hear me?

Francesca: Grandma Muriel!

They found her. But then a binary code snake creature with a mans head with a huge nose came and just as he was about to wrap around Muriel, Bai Tza punched him in the nose.

Bai Tza: You stay away from Muriel you disgusting virus!

Lana: Yeah you freak!

Laney punched him in the face and Courage turned into a huge club with lots of spikes and bashed him in the face with it.

WHAM!

Francesca slashed the computer virus in half and destroyed it in an instant.

Bai Tza: That takes care of that.

Francesca: Yep. Maybe now we can get the recipe for Artichoke Syrup Soup.

And they did. After getting Muriel out of the computer and back in bed they made the soup.

Francesca: Here you go Grandma Muriel.

Muriel: Oh thank you Francesca.

She gave Muriel a spoonful and she was better in an instant.

Muriel: Mmm. Thank you Francesca.

Francesca: You're welcome Grandma Muriel. The vinegar in your recipes is genius.

Muriel: It sure is. It's a heavenly combo.

Lincoln: It sure is.

They laughed.
