After being assaulted with dodgeballs by Connie D'Amico and other girls during gym class, Meg talks to her friend Ruth about how much she hates being at school and wonders if she can tolerate the rest of the semester. She then learns that Ruth is going to spend a semester in Paris and is invited to join her in the program. Using the money she has saved from part-time jobs, Meg is able to enroll in the program. The family sees her leave as she enters the airport. Once she and Ruth land in Paris, they meet a man who offers to share a cab with them as they go to their apartment. When the two of them arrive at the apartment, a group of men arrive and kidnap Ruth while Meg is talking to Peter on the phone. When she tells Peter what she witnessed, he tells her to hide under the bed. She complies, but the men find and take her anyway. After Peter talks to the kidnappers, one of them tells him "Drakkar Noir" before hanging up. After that, Peter calls "Lois, Meg's dead!"
