After Marilla and Matthew decide to keep Anne at Green Gables, Anne tries to prove herself as a "good girl" but quickly runs into conflicts. During a visit, the neighborly Mrs. Lynde sharply criticizes Anne's appearance – especially her red hair –, causing Anne to fly into a rage and insult her. Marilla insists on an apology, but Anne initially refuses. Only after Matthew's gentle persuasion does she theatrically apologize to Mrs. Lynde, who eventually relents and even offers hope for darker hair.
In parallel, Anne shows her love for aesthetics: she dreams of dresses with puffed sleeves and adorns her plain Sunday hat with flowers, which becomes a topic of conversation. Marilla warns her not to make a fool of herself but also emphasizes that Green Gables is her home.
A central turning point is the encounter with Diana Barry, the neighbors' daughter. The two girls enthusiastically form a "bosom friendship" with a poetic oath that seals their bond. Anne later even gives Diana some of her beloved caramel candies from Matthew, highlighting her generosity and joy over the new friendship.
The episode ends with Anne's prayer of thanks for Diana's friendship and Marilla's quiet acknowledgment that Anne has already become a firm part of Green Gables.
