The Heffley family attend a party at a roller rink, where Greg (Zachary Gordon) reunites with Rowley (Robert Capron), meets a new girl at school named Holly Hills (Peyton List) who Greg instantly has a crush on, and reveals he passed on the Cheese Touch. His older brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick) interferes with the party, embarrassing Greg and causing Greg to try and tackle him and he lands in Taylor Pringle's cake. Then she and her friends proceed to beat up Greg as the intro starts. Then he describes his summer and the flaw between him and his two brothers. Susan Heffley makes an effort to have Rodrick and Greg bond by going in their bedroom and doing some things together by using her methods called Mom Bucks, but it makes things worse and Rodrick cheated her system. One day, a school talent show is advertised on TV; in which Rowley sees it as an opportunity to perform magic, and Rodrick sees it as the band's big break. However, Greg rejects the idea of doing the magic. One day at church, Greg and Rodrick are grounded after a scuffle causing Susan to get upset about what others think of her and her family's reputation being ruined; after which they are forbidden to go to Rock n' Rapids Water Park, nor inviting people over, and told that they must bond. However, Rodrick does the opposite, and throws a party.
