## Description

The Marches could be evicted from their house unless Olivia can figure out who is behind New York's flea infestation.

## Plot

In the house, Eva is very upset cause she has a pimple a few days before DJing in the neighborhood party. Olivia is assisting Calliope with her pet walking business, Dr Ong's Pet Company. Ken and Amber also assist by washing dogs. Emily brings a basket of dog accessories. George and Margaret check on them and Margaret thinks that Calliope's business is very awesome. Anne Reardon spies on the March family and is outraged with Calliope bringing more dogs there. Angus says it is like living next door to a zoo. Trey says his mom's new perfume smells like a zoo and he and Angus cough when she sprays it. Anne makes Trey and Angus watch the March family with her in the hopes of catching them doing something wrong. Lucy and some of the dogs run over to the Reardon family and knock Anne over. Olivia apologises and helps her stand up but Anne says it is a very serious crime to let animals run amok on other humans' property. Olivia points out the Reardon family are in her house. Olivia hopes to have hundreds and thousands of new animal clients and that they can include farm animals, wild game or open a zoo. Anne is horrified and Angus thinks that it is uncivilised. Anne wants to get rid of the March family. Trey is itchy cause he got fleas from the dogs which gives Anne a plan. Eva walks around the house with a blindfold to cover her pimple. Calliope leaves to bring the dogs home. Eva attempts using a face mask recipe she found online to get rid of her pimple in time for the party. Olivia says the party will be busy that nobody will pay attention to Eva but Eva takes it the wrong way. Ken goes home and says goodnight to his mom and dad. The Reardon family wear black outfits while they sneak around with jars of fleas. Angus releases fleas onto Ken's apartment. Trey says it is unfair that Angus got to do Ken's apartment but he smiles when Anne reminds him that they have annoying neighbours to unleash fleas on. Angus intentionally gets fleas on himself so he gets itchy. Trey takes pictures while he releases fleas. Luna seems concerned when she sees Anne releasing fleas around the neighbourhood. The following day, Calliope's business does not have customers. A customer calls Olivia to cancel it cause there is a flea infestation. Margaret brings Luna out and says the city council announced a three-mile wide flea infestation. George and Amber also go out with George pulling a luggage and Amber carrying the puppies. George says pets have been banned until the neighbourhood has been fumigated. Margaret and George bring the pets to a pet hotel. It is too far so they will return the following day in the afternoon. The exterminator will be there in the morning. Trey and Angus chill next door until Anne yells at them to stop chilling. Anne refuses to use her cell phone cause it clashes with her clothes so she borrows Trey's phone. Anne calls New York City Animal Rental Service to rent animals for the following step of her idea. The following morning there are cats, dogs and wild animals in the house. Ken calls Olivia and invites her to go surfing after the inspector leaves. He elaborates that the inspector is there to make sure there are no animals before fumigation starts. Olivia asks Ken to stall the inspector and he agrees without asking why. Olivia, her sisters and Quinton hide the animals in the house and then, they let the inspector in the house. They attempt to keep the animals hidden while the inspector looks around. Eva hides inside the elevator with some animals. Before the inspector leaves, Eva and the animals fall outside the elevator. The inspector says that the March family violated the order but they have the right to appear before the city council and plead their case. If they lose, they could be evicted. Margaret and George come back and a lady collects the animals. She thanks the March family for using New York City Animal Rental Service. Olivia says that they never ordered the animals. The lady says Anne paid her but Anne was wearing a costume so the lady cannot describe her to the March family. Before the lady leaves, she adds Anne's smell was driving the animals crazy. Amber cries at the plan of being evicted. Margaret says they must convince the council that all of the animals in the house was an error but Anne is on the council. In the hearing, the Reardon family, the March family and Olivia's best friends are inside the courtroom. Eva is wearing her blindfold. Olivia smells Anne's perfume and gets an idea, telling her sisters and Quinton not to let the council decide until she comes back. Anne will not listen to Margaret but Eva is afraid to speak up just in case her blindfold falls down and reveals her pimple. Quinton stalls for time then, George bores the council to sleep by rambling. George talks about how Olivia got Luna from her Auntie Sara and how Sara works in a hotel with an apple tree outside. Amber rambles about how she named a horse that was rented Mr Twinkle Toes. Quinton tells Eva to speak up cause the scenario is very urgent. Anne says she cannot hear Eva with the blindfold on so Eva removes it and gets over her pimple. Olivia comes back with a receipt from New York City Animal Rental Service. Olivia asks if whoever signed and paid for the rental is responsible for the animals. Anne agrees. Olivia brings the lady as a witness. The lady says that she can smell the same smell she smelt when the costumed lady paid for the animals. The doors open to reveal al of the animals that were inside the house and they run to Anne because of her perfume that smells like a zoo. Anne gets stressed by the animals and admits that she rented the animals. The court is shocked but the March family's surprise is replaced with happiness. The judge finds the March family innocent. Anne puts her head in her hands while the crowd cheers. Anne did not want to face an embarrassing recall election day so she resigned. The March family and their neighbours have lots of fun dancing at the party with Eva DJing. She does not think about her pimple and she does a great job at DJing. The Reardon family cover their ears while they attempt to chill in their backyard. Ken dances with the Marches. Olivia mentions that Eva discovered that her pimple was minor in comparison to the possibility of eviction. The stress of the recent events gave Olivia a pimple but she focuses on important things like her family.
