Plot[]
Now that things are at peace, Sharon wants to finally fulfill her passion of painting and goes down into the basement to set up a canvas that was given to her by her mother. Scratch wants to be her muse, but Molly insists that she be by herself and so that she can paint in peace and forces him out. Just as Sharon is about to start painting, the canvas manifests a mouth for itself and begins "talking" to Sharon about how she cannot decide how to approach her masterpiece. She is distracted by the sounds upstairs and sees a mess caused by Darryl and Scratch. When she insists on cleaning it up, Molly refuses to have her stop and forces her back downstairs to paint.
Sharon still cannot come up with anything to paint and Scratch once again suggests that he be her muse, but Molly once again puts a stop to this. Sharon tries to make up excuses to step away from her canvas, but the rest of the family come and stop her, with Darryl equipped with nerf gun to force her back into the basement. Throughout the day, Sharon tries to get away from painting, only for the family to stop her at every turn. They even bring her snacks so that she does not go hungry. The entire house ends up getting cleaned up and Sharon uses the opportunity to finally sneak away. As she drives off, she claims that she is doing another gig pig job.
Molly and Scratch follow Sharon and discover that she stopped by a fast food restaurant to get herself a hamburger. Caught in her lie, she is forced back home and finally breaks down to Molly and Scratch. Having had so many things that has paused her passion in life, she is now afraid to finally pursue it for real, but Molly tells her that art is based on raw emotion and that it is okay for her to feel these things. As Scratch tries to pose for Sharon, he accidentally sits in her paints and rubs it on her canvas. Sharon ends up liking the blotch and continues to paint from there. Molly and Scratch happily leave Sharon to her art.
