Nov 27, 1987

Iggy Igauna asks Holly Higgins if she has seen his checkers game as he and Jacob Blue Jay want to play, but are reminded of the big argument they got into the last time they played checkers, but both laugh thinking back on that time. All of them think back to that time which shows the boys playing. As Jacob attempts to make moves, Iggy guides Jacob into moves that will help him. Iggy takes his turn winning and then doing an "Iggy's Number 1" song and dance. Jacob is upset and refuses to play again. They argue to the point of separating the apartment into their own things. Gloria gets pulled into the argument, eventually colour-coding everything with ribbon. Holly is shocked when she gets home, finding out what happens, before trying to remind them all about sharing and if they can't they may have to move out. Returning to the present, Holly brings out the checkers board believing Iggy and Jacob are ready to play again.
