**A Butter Tomorrow** is the first segment of 13th episode in season 3 of Harvey Street Kids. The title is a reference to the movie "A Better Tomorrow".

## Synopsis

A butter spill threatens the Harvey lake ecosystem.

## Plot

The episode begins at the park's lake, where Bruce comes out of it with a welcome mat. The Harvey Girls group is on a sled at the top of a hill whose terrain goes towards the lake. Dot mentions that she is excited to be able to visit Bruce and Audrey recounts to Richie that Bruce used to be her fish pet. She also mentions that they get along well after their separation since Audrey put her in danger all the time. All this last conversation happens while Audrey remembers an occasion in which she jumped with a pogo with Bruce's fish tank on top, causing the fish to jump out of her fish tank every time Audrey did it.

Ricky asks her some questions about why she gave her that name if she was female and who gave her permission to have her. But before she can respond, the group slides into what appears to be butter, and they are halfway up the hill near a fallen tree. Audrey tests the substance and corroborates, with Lotta worried that the park is flooded with butter, and with it the resources and places to do somersaults. Audrey believes that the culprits were aliens, but Dot corrects her by saying it is a leak from the Butter Factory.

Dot wants to report the incident to authorities, but a concert by the band "My purple agony" caused the factory's employees to take over the day and therefore the place is closed. Incidentally, Ricky mentions that "My purple agony" is his favorite band and Audrey criticizes him since his sister Zoe is also a fan of that band. Richie, meanwhile, looks at his watch, says that Zoe was the one who made the wave of contamination because she was looking for a place to store her banana-flavored lipsticks. Richie confirms this because he sent a drone last night to see his favorite band musician Victor Lavender.

Richie mentions that the concert will be done, but everyone is going to slip because of the enormous amount of butter present. Audrey, on the other hand, is upset that she has always had to clean everything up for Zoe by being blamed with the adults. These incidents occurred: in the library, the kindergarten, and her own home. So Audrey wants Zoe to start cleaning as revenge and retires to find her.

Bruce for her part waits impatiently for the girls. Where Audrey, Zoe asks her to do it because she wants to look good for her favorite musician, Victor. She does not believe and shows her a garlic chain to drive her away, implying that she is a space vampire because she does not like garlic. Zoe and Audrey enter their usual sister fights, where Zoe draws up a decree signed by her and her sister when the latter couldn't read, giving Zoe the authority not to clean up her messes.

At this point, Audrey proceeds to try to convince her sister by teasing her by either capturing her with a net, dressing up as Stu, and hugging her leg. All these attempts fail except for Stu's disguise, which manages to convince the last one. Zoe says to Audrey that she will not clean and stop bothering her, but Audrey knowing this decides to act more annoying. In the urban part of Harvey Street, Audrey appears from some bushes and from Zoe's boba insisting and being annoying, apparently convincing her.

Audrey tells the good news to the group, who is looking for a way to fix the butter lock and keep it from putting more butter into the park. In the distance they hear a vacuum cleaner sound, where Audrey thinks it's Zoe. When she goes to the place, Stu is doing the work while Zoe herself rests and listens to My purple agony's song. Stu tells her not to worry because Zoe plans to do his homework to make up for it, however Audrey tells her it is the summer holidays and Stu leaves feeling cheated. Zoe, seeing that Stu saw her trick, leaves laughing, saying that she will not clean up.

While that is happening, Bruce is still waiting, and apparently Lotta's rabbits stopped the leak. However, Audrey and Zoe's usual sister fights cause the valve to reopen. Zoe challenges her to a "haggle waggle", which is that the first to be burned will clean the butter park. Richie wants to intervene, but Lotta tells him that the sister fights can get chilly. Audrey beats Zoe but the valve opens and a new wave of butter comes out, causing it to go straight to the lake. For her part, Zoe retires and Audrey starts crying when she can't do anything.

Zoe sees her, and helps her by using her pom poms as a wall to prevent the butter from leaking into the lake, that wall also manages to avoid another wave of butter that was heading there. Once the matter is over, Bruce withdraws and Audrey tells Zoe that she fell with her tear trick, all while bragging about it, which in fact she was concerned. Zoe puts a butter-covered pom-pom on her head as she says it was well played. The girls tell the sisters that they found Victor Lavender, who arrives on his pet wolf. He says that saw both girls cleaning, which inspired him to sing a song, to which Zoe and Richie dance in unison.
