Harrison discovers that Josh has an uncanny knowledge of chicken that gets him on Mary Cherry's team.

Lily becomes afraid Josh will make a fool of himself on "The Big Head Challenge", hosted by Ed McMahhn, deciding not to go. Cherry Cherry assembles her own team, consisting of the same three judges that ridiculed her daughter and ... Written by Ron Storey
