With Olivia's encouragement, Jasper is demonstrating some of his inventions in the hopes of making it big. Jasper enjoys the creative aspect of inventing, but not the notoriety. Two of his latest inventions for demonstration are a kitchen tool that toasts multiple slices of bread at one time and a flying bicycle, the public demonstrations of which figuratively and literally go up in smoke. After secretly overhearing some gossip, Jasper feels dejected not because of the public failures of his demonstrations but the embarrassment he is causing Olivia and the King family by his association with them. Meanwhile, Olivia is in charge of editing the Avonlea Chronicle while Mr. Tyler is away on a business trip. Getting in the way of Olivia doing a good job in this important role is her preoccupation of why Jasper is ignoring her, which may cause problems for her and the newspaper. Elsewhere, Sara and Felicity are producing a community newspaper of their own. Their front page will consist of made up letters requesting advice based on real life community gossip they overhear. However, the letters get into the wrong hands with possible dire consequences.
