Synopsis
In the beginning of the episode, Peppa is watching Miami 7 on TV, supposedly "looking for the sports channel." George comes bursting through the door with his hands inside a pair of new shoes. When Peppa asks to see them on his feet, Georfe confesses that he does not know how to tie his laces. Peppa says that he will teach George, untying his shoes to demonstrate. However, Peppa's attempts to tie them again fail. After reminding George that he is late for something, George rushes out of the house, saying that they will have to do the lesson later, and Peppa faces the realization that he cannot remember how to tie his shoes, as they have remained tied ever since his life began. When a good night's sleep fails to jog his memory, he decides to set the problem aside for the time being and get a move on to work. Moving, however, presents a problem, as Peppa trips over his untied laces every step of the way to the Krusty Krab.

Peppa finally arrives, only to find George already there eating a Krabby Patty. Not wanting to look foolish in front of George, he pounds his feet through the floorboards so that Peppa cannot see them. George only suspects Peppa of dieting, so Peppa takes care to keep his shoes hidden as he trudges to the kitchen. Even through his exhaustion, Peppa realizes he still has to cook, and that doing so standing in one spot will be simple enough. However, bringing the order to Emily Elephant across the room presents a daunting challenge. He tries shuffling over, millimeters at a time, but gets practically nowhere as Emily Elephant orders Peppa to move. With one gingerly step forward, he trips and catapults the Krabby Patty into Emily Elephant's mouth. This mishap repeats several times until Emily Elephant is engorged with Krabby Patties, which makes the customers angry.

Daddy Pig, occupied with a crossword in the bathroom, hears disgruntled customers leaving to eat at the Chum Bucket. He bursts out with his pants down and demands to know why his customers have left. Emily Elephant replies with some difficulty that Peppa is to blame, and Daddy Pig calls for Peppa to present himself. Feeling ashamed, Peppa tells Daddy Pig that he cannot remember how to tie his shoes and asks him for help. Daddy Pig solemnly informs him that he does not wear shoes.

In desperation, Peppa starts asking anyone (including Painty the Pirate) if they know how to tie a knot. Failing to find someone who wears shoes, Peppa Pig's cries of anguish summon Evil Peppa Pig. As it so happens, Evil Peppa Pig has held the title of Fancy Knotting Contest Champion for 3,000 years and is confident that he can teach Peppa Pig a thing or two about knots. He demonstrates various knots of increasing complexity, but is stumped when Peppa Pig asks for a knot for tying shoes. Evil Peppa Pig admits that he has no need to tie his shoes as, being a ghost, he no longer has feet. This fact does not impede his enjoyment of wearing a sock on his ghostly tail.

Peppa Pig drags himself home, thinking that his shoes will forever remain untied, but Gary, surprisingly, ties his shoes for him. Gary also reveals that he wears a pair. Amazed, Peppa Pig asks Gary where he learned to tie them. Gary reveals a record player underneath his shell and finishes the episode putting on a record of the song "That's My Goal," which finally teaches Peppa Pig how to tie his shoes perfectly.
