Plot[]

One day, WordGirl is out keeping the city safe from villains, even stopping Amazing Rope Guy from robbing the bank, where she easily defeats him. Meanwhile Chuck is in his lair making a decker sandwich when his mother calls to him. Brent, Chuck's older brother is coming to town, unfortunately Chuck is anything but thrilled to hear this. Brent is not only better looking and more successful than Chuck but is also the creator of the latest sandwich craze: crustless bread. Chuck angrily questions why people would want sandwiches without crust as he feels it's the best part of any sandwich, "bread without crust it's like peanut butter without jelly."

At the Botsford house, Becky is angry to find T.J. in her room and playing with her unicorn Angelface. Becky tells him to put it down but T.J. tosses Angelface and tries to catch it but it shatters. A furious Becky grabs her brother by the shirt and bans him from going into her room ever again. When Tim hears the yelling he comes upstairs and asks what's going on, Becky shows him a shattered Angelface. T.J. tries to apologize but Becky blatantly tells him that he stayed out of her room it wouldn't have happened, which Tim agrees with. T.J. claims he likes Becky's unicorns and if there in her room that's where he goes. Tim says this a sibling disagreement but Becky wishes she had no sibling.

Meanwhile Chuck is trying to enjoy his lunch at a loading dock away from all the crustless bread talk, unfortunately a truck full of crustless bread arrives and the workers express how much they love it. Chuck then imagines being chased by giant pieces of crustless bread. He is trying to get away from the bread but he ends up running into Brent himself, while Chuck is terrified, Brent is thrilled to see his brother. Brent is signing crustless sandwiches for fans and Chuck is disappointed. At the Botsford's things are still sour between Becky and T.J., when he tries to talk or spend time with her, Becky just scowls and gives him the silent treatment. T.J. tells their Dad to make Becky talked to him, Tim does so, but Becky and Bob go back upstairs with her in a fury. T.J. asks what he should do and Tim says that the best thing he can do is buy Becky a replacement unicorn, which T.J. agrees to do.

In Chuck's basement, Brent is impressed with Chuck's place, especially his high score on his video games. Brent asks if Chuck could give him some lessons since he is not as good as him. Chuck happily obliges, but moments later their mother tells Brent that The Mayor called and is going to give Brent The Golden Sandwich Award. This announcement sends Chuck back to his state of envy, Brent asks if Chuck will come to the ceremony but he declines saying he is working (on his video game score). Brent is saddened by this especially since he wants his brother with him at the ceremony. After he leaves, Chuck who is fed up with his brother's fame and fortune decides to go to the ceremony and get the award himself.

At the ceremony, Chuck takes the award and replaces it with a forgery when no one is looking. Becky and Bob are also at the ceremony and notice the award looks different. After presenting the award to Brent, they discover that the award is a forgery made of peanut butter (which he takes a bite of). After noticing Chuck in the park they turn into super heroes and go after him. They confront Chuck and uncover the truth in no time flat, WordGirl is shocked at Chuck for stealing his own brother's award. He explains in frustration that he fed up with the attention his brother gets and that he cannot stand having a sibling sometime. WordGirl agrees with Chuck, but tells him that he is great at things too especially making the best sandwiches in the city. Instead of being jealous of Brent, he should get along, especially since friends come and go but siblings are forever. Feeling bad for what he did, Chuck wishes he could make up for what he did and WordGirl has an idea. WordGirl reveals to everyone they found the award, Chuck returns it, saying that he found it. Brent is grateful and even proud to receive an award from Chuck. He even admits that he is envious of Chuck, which he questions and Brent says that he gets to live with their mom in this incredible place with so many great people. They decide to go home and play some video games and share a sandwich. While they disagree on having their sandwich with or without crust, they agree to cut it diagonally.

Back at the Botsford House, T.J. gives Becky a new Angelface, which she is so happy about. He apologizes for breaking it earlier, Becky forgives him and they hug, meanwhile Chuck and Brent play video games together while sharing a sandwich.
