History Recap / BigHero6TheSeriesS3E03TheDogCrazeOfSummer

* ContinuityNod: Hiro's time as a bot-fighter is referenced when Cass refers to the dogsitting job as Hiro's first job that's "not illegal", followed by a brief shot of Hiro having his mugshot taken.

* BrickJoke: Granville's chihuahua, Oppenheimer, steals Baron Von Steamer's mechanical arm while he's playing fetch. Baron Von Steamer walks into the café to retrieve it at the end of the episode, and takes the remaining money Hiro has as well.

* NeverMyFault: While Hiro should have read through at least part of the manual, Honey Lemon and Go Go don't acknowledge that the trouble with Curie was the result of Honey Lemon carelessly leaving her chem-purse unattended and in reach of a dog she saw had a chewing habit before Hiro assigned Curie to them. Adding to this, Honey Lemon's glasses only got broken because Go Go put her glasses back on her face while she was struggling to tear off the chem ball goop covering her eyes, which led to Honey ripping her glasses in half.

* ReadTheFreakingManual: Professor Granville wrote a very thick book about how to take care of her dogs. Hiro loses control of the dogs because he, rather understandably given the size of the manual and suddenness of the job, didn't bother reading the book.

* AnAesop: Dogsitting is hard work.

* BabysittingEpisode: Except with dogs instead of human babies.
* BadlyBatteredBabysitter: Hiro.

* ComplexityAddiction: While the dogs are a handful, the case could be made that for a one-day job being given to him at the last minute, Hiro was given an unnecessarily large amount of instructions and supplies.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Hiro repeatedly refuses to read Granville's care manual, resulting in the dogs becoming more than he can handle. After he finally reads it and reins them in with its help, [[WhatTheHellHero the rest of the team isn't happy]] to learn there was a manual that spelled out exactly how to control the dogs. On the other hand, the trouble could also have been avoided if Granville had taken maybe an extra minute or 2 before leaving to explain the dogs quirks and not downplayed them or even left a more simple list of instructions for just one day of dogsitting. Adding to this, Granville put the Mr. Pip instruction in the middle of the manual instead of on or closer to the front page.

* JerkassBall: [=GoGo's=] initial refusal to help comes across as this due to the fact that this occurs before she knows about Granville's manual.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Fred when he says "yeah, that's fair" along with Go Go, Honey Lemon, and Wasabi after Baron Steamer steals the last of Hiro's dogsitting money after they've all taken their cuts, considering he asked Hiro to help him with beating ''Wormhole 2'' even after being told Hiro had a summer job, apparently had no problem with Hiro bringing the dogs over to his house, and that it was his idea to call the rest of the team for help when the trouble started.
