## Plot

Margaret is very busy to read a bedtime story to Amber so Olivia does it instead. Emily joins them. Amber says that Emily has a lot on her mind such as protecting the March family. Luna makes a face when she hears this. Quinton asks if Olivia or Amber has seen Willy's toy but they have not. Amber tells Olivia and Quinton that a few nights before when the puppies protected them while the March family were sleeping. In Amber's tale, BJ interrupts Emily and Willy while they are playing to tell them something is wrong with an alligator plushie. Willy says that he has never trusted the alligator and wants to maul it. Emily says violence never solves anything. BJ and the other puppies have a meeting to discuss about the alligator. They scan their paws to go through a dog flap behind a bookshelf. Lucy has lots of trouble cause she scanned the wrong paw. BJ suspects the alligator is collecting stuff to create a weapon to use against the March family. Willy reiterates he has never trusted the alligator ever since Quinton brought it home. In a flashback, Willy and BJ barked at the alligator when they first saw it and Lucy got afraid and ran to Olivia. Willy jumped on the alligator but got afraid when it squeaked. Emily wondered if the alligator wanted to be best friends but she got afraid when the alligator winked at her. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief. Amber tells Olivia and Quinton that Emily never trusted the alligator from that second. Amber says that the puppies are the Puppy House Protection Team. Margaret asks what happened to the batteries in the house's vacuum. Olivia and Quinton shush her cause they wanna hear Amber's tale. George asks what happened to the very last ice cream. Amber returns to the puppy story. BJ has labelled a map with where stuff has got lost for the alligator's weapon. One of the stuff was George's screwdriver. Lucy says that the alligator could not have gotten anything alone and BJ explains it was assisted by the vacuum cleaner. Willy, Lucy and Emily think that the vacuum cleaner is wicked. They remember when Margaret spilled some popcorn and they ate some but the vacuum cleaner came and cleaned it before they could finish eating. They were afraid though Margaret said that the vacuum cleaner is harmless. BJ thinks that the vacuum cleaner has been spying on them and wants to attack them. The puppies investigate the vacuum. Willy thinks the vacuum cleaner wants to take over the house. BJ wonders if the vacuum cleaner has figured out a way to control the house since everything is electronic. Quinton asks Margaret who is now listening to Amber's tale too if that is possible. Margaret says that it is possible in Amber's imagination. Luna smiles. In the tale, the vacuum cleaner turns on by itself and tells the alligator the puppies are onto them. The vacuum cleaner activates the refrigerator so it can eat an ice cream. The alligator uses the ice cream as a sword. The puppies run away. Margaret says that the sisters and Quinton must sleep but Olivia, Quinton and Luna wanna listen to Amber's tale. The vacuum cleaner chases the puppies while the alligator attempts to attack BJ. The vacuum cleaner shoots popcorn at the puppies. Lucy tells the other puppies to go up since the vacuum cleaner and the alligator cannot climb upstairs. The vacuum cleaner transforms the staircase into a slide. The puppies want to close the March family's bedroom doors using a shoehorn. Once the sisters and Quinton are safe, the vacuum cleaner goes up with the alligator. The puppies go to the hideout but it has been blocked off. Willy picks up some paper and the puppies go to their hideout. Eva asks if anybody has seen her scrunchies and George asks if anybody borrowed his screwdriver and clay. The puppies' hideout is outside on the top floor patio. BJ wants to attack the vacuum cleaner and alligator if they get close to the sisters and Quinton. Emily wants to attempt talking with the vacuum cleaner and the alligator. Willy says that the paper he found has an illustration of a slingshot on it. Lucy says that the slingshot seems like it is made out of clay and scrunchies. Lucy sniffs out the slingshots. Emily can hardly believe anybody would want to hurt the sisters and Quinton. BJ says that it is a tough world so puppies must be on guard at all times. The puppies find the slingshot. It is bolted to the patio deck and pointed close to the Pacific Ocean. Another piece of paper reveals that the vacuum cleaner and the alligator wanna slingshot the puppies into the ocean. The vacuum cleaner and the alligator attack the puppies on the patio. The puppies end up on the diving board of the patio's pool. Emily says they must never have skipped swimming classes to take reading classes instead. Inside Amber's room, the March family is listening to her tale. Luna attempts to get Eva's attention. Eva asks where Mew Mew, Luna's kitty toy is but she gets shushed. In the tale, Mew Mew rescues the puppies. The puppies run to the slingshot. The vacuum cleaner attempts to hypnotize Mew Mew but she is hypoallergenic. Willy unbolts the slingshot from the patio. Lucy attacks the alligator when it approaches them. Emily and Willy throw the slngshot off the patio. The slingshot breaks when it lands on the floor. Mew Mew wards off the vacuum cleaner and then, uses string to create a lasso to tie up the alligator. Mew Mew moves the alligator on top of the vacuum cleaner so it turns off. Mew Mew throws a pool ring around the alligator. The puppies cheer and thank Mew Mew. Mew Mew leaves and the vacuum cleaner switches back on. The alligator and vacuum cleaner begin to break free. Emily scatters marbles on the floor to clog up the vacuum cleaner. They manage to launch it in the air so it lands upside down and then, they take off the batteries. Lucy kicks a marble at the alligator. The alligator gets hit very hard that his squeaker flies out of his mouth. The puppies unblock their hideout. They think that Margaret and George will accuse Olivia for everything that got lost cause she is the only one who is not missing something. Emily says that they must borrow something personal of Olivia's like a picture and then, create something out of all of the stuff that got borrowed or broken. BJ says that the thing they create has to disguise what happened so the March family will never know the danger they were in. Amber reveals the puppies created a sculpture of the March sisters, Quinton and Margaret cause they now know how much Margaret wants to go on vacation in Australia next year. Amber says that the puppies will pretend that Amber created it. Her family can tell that Amber created it. George asks why he is not in the sculpture but it is because they could not find a tiny enough picture of him. The March family go to sleep and Amber says goodnight to Emily. Emily nods at the other puppies and they run off.

## Trivia

* Emily says that the puppies skipped swimming classes to take reading classes. This is a reference to the episode Trey is for Horses where Amber wanted to begin a New York City Puppy Reading Foundation to teach puppies how to read books. However, in the film The Little Ladies: Olivia and her Siblings in a Puppy Chase, it is shown that the puppies' mom, Stephanie taught them how to swim. The mistake could be cause the episode is only a tale that Amber tells her family.
* Mew Mew says that she cannot be hypnotized cause she is hypnoallergenic. This is a pun on hypoallergenic which means that something causes less allergic reactions.
