But Abby's little sister, Tess, thinks the ants are great, and worse, she actually gets along with Dirk. Abby wants nothing to do with either of them, until she nearly knocks over the ant farm and discovers that Tess was right about ants being really smart. Is it possible she's been too hard on Dirk and Tess? With the Crazy Olympics just a few days away, she still has a chance to make things right.
