Overjoyed, Anne hosts the tea party with Diana coming over. However, a little mix-up leads to Anne giving Diana currant wine and not raspberry cordial. About three tumblerfuls later, the dark-haired finds herself drunk. She asks Anne to drop her home, and they encounter a displeased Mrs. Barry. Later that night, Marilla attempts to clear the air, but Mrs. Barry refuses.

Even when Anne runs over to the Barry estate, the lady of the house turns her away, stating that she is no longer allowed to associate with Diana. The next day, Diana stopped by to bid a final farewell to her best friend. The girls were tearful and embraced one last time, with Anne taking a lock of Diana's hair in remembrance of their friendship.

Another day passes, and Anne decides to return to school. She vows to do her best and become a model student. Her arrival at the school is greeted by the class's students showering her with gifts. But she felt sad that Diana would barely look in her direction. However, things weren't completely over as the girls began communicating with each other through little notes during school.

Anne pulled up her socks and improved her grades. She even bested Gilbert Blythe when it came to sums. But she wouldn't speak a word to the boy. Moving on, one cold night, Diana came knocking on Cuthberts' door - Minnie May, Diana's younger sister, was sick, and it was seemingly croup. Without wasting a second, Matthew stepped out to find a doctor while Anne went home with Diana.

The redhead's past experiences allowed her to hold Minnie May out till the doctor arrived. As the doctor later explained to the Barrys, Anne's actions had saved Minnie May's life. Grateful, Mrs. Barry permitted the two girls to speak again. The girls reunite and have a wonderful time. Anne returns home and gushes about it to Matthew and Marilla before falling asleep whilst reading Diana's letters to her.
