Merton notices an attractive Japanese girl at the factory and falls for her. She actually is attracted to him but tells him that they are too different so they can never be together. Merton misinterprets this and learns all about Japanese culture in an attempt to whoo her. This also fails to win her over even though she obviously likes him. Merton steals a kiss from her and then his trouble begins. Lori reveals that the girl is actually a cursed girl from a fairy tale and that anyone who kisses her will be killed by an evil 900 year old samurai. In an amusing sub-plot Tommy has to do community service at the Hungry bucket.
