The Baxters are all excited about the opening of Victor’s restaurant, “The Chill Grill”. Raven believes The Chill Grill can become a hangout for the kids at her school, so she heavy-handedly advises her family on how to make the restaurant cool. Raven is trying to get the attention of Devon as well, and tells Chelsea and Eddie that she’s going to need their help, but they tell her they have other plans. Raven’s not used to getting blown off by her friends, and when she has a vision of Eddie and Chelsea about to kiss, she gets worried. Victor tells Raven she should ask them about what she saw, but they tell her that nothing’s going on. Raven doesn’t believe them, and her suspicions are confirmed when they are passing notes in class organizing to meet at Chelsea’s house that afternoon. We find out that Eddie and Chelsea are only meeting because they are practicing a dance routine for the Chill Grill opening. However, when Raven comes to their house masquerading as a plumber, she is still unaware of what is going on between them. However, Raven learns the truth when she drills a hole through the bathroom wall, through which she sees her misinterpreted vision come true. At the restaurant opening, Raven learns that Eddie and Chelsea aren’t dating. They were only rehearsing for their dance number. After they do their dance, they apologize to Raven for keeping it a secret, and Raven apologizes for being so bossy and controlling.

After not getting invited to Alana's Halloween party at the Chill Grill, Raven and Chelsea prepare a wishing spell from a magical book to get invited and have the best costumes. While casting it, Chelsea accidentally drops an anti-beef pin (which she was wearing after Victor served her Raven's burger earlier) into the cauldron. As a result, Raven and Chelsea find themselves slowly turning into cows and are forced to go to the party to stop the spell after Eddie takes the book. They struggle to find Eddie as they become more cowlike in both appearance and behavior, culminating in Chelsea eating the page they needed to reverse the spell. The two end up completely transforming into Holstein cows as they win the costume contest before it's revealed the entire night was a vision, allowing Raven to stop Chelsea from eating meat and prevent them from becoming livestock.
