Synopsis
Anne and the Plantars try to rob a museum.

Plot
Anne has been staying up all night trying to research the concept of alternate universes, who results in her becoming exhausted. Anne can't understand why the Plantars can relax at time like this while they were binning to some soap opera, and they tell her that she needs to relax. Mrs. Boonchuy after being amazed at how Anne wants to do research, something she never wanted to do before, suggest they should all go to the museum and get educated; adding that since Anne has been gone for five months, she needs to catch up on her school work. Furthermore, she wants them out of the house because somehow they have left slime all over the place and she wants to clean it.

They arrived at the museum and Mrs Boonchuy says she will pick them up at 6. In the museum, the Plantars were so amazed by all stuff there. Anne is still focused on her research until the group spots a very mysterious vase that had a picture of a frog and the Calamity Box. Then, they were surprised by a curator and adamant admirer of all things supernatural named Dr. Jan who is approached them when she saw that they were interested into the mysterious vase and finding their first real clue, but a paranoid Anne warded her off.

Despite the Plantars' reservations, Anne comes up with a plan to break into the museum, which Hop Pop wasn’t sure about, but then agrees to stick to the plan. Soon enough, they managed to distract the guards, open the door and knock out all the security cameras. But little they did know that Andrias' Frog-Bot Assassin, who has been fully repaired, had taken a picture of Sprig and found their location. At last, Anne and the Plantars saw the vase, and with Polly’s help to get past the laser security, they finally reach the vase. But soon they are once again attacked by the Frog-Bot. A fight breaks out as the Frog-Bot chases them all over the museum. After dropping a massive Mososaurus skeleton on the Frog-Bot, Dr. Jan and the security guards barge in and the robot retreats for now.

Dr. Jan immediately became obsessed with the talking frogs after seeing them without their disguises. Dr. Jan distracted the guards so they could escape. After hearing their story and earning their trust, Dr. Jan offers to help them in their quest; she also gives Anne some sound advice, by telling her that while she understand her desire to help her friends get back to their world, she still needs to take a break once and while and sends her home for some much needed rest. After doing some research the whole night till next day, Dr. Jan discovers the vase has a hidden message in Amphibian Alphabet when using a UV light torch once she's turned off the lights in her room.
