When she comes up to her room with Youngmee dropping by, Roger finds out about the tickets, obtains two, and asks if Blythe can help fix his old jacket and pants. As Roger leaves, he casually mentions about a date while tossing the outfit onto Blythe's sketch pad. She quickly draws up what Roger's clothes might look like on an exposed portion as Youngmee explains the Seven Stages of Coping with Parental Dating: distress and denial, "I didn't mean to," fury and promises, "So lonely I could cry," making adjustments, coming to grips, and "totally okay with it." Blythe immediately feels distressed and denies it until Youngmee points out what Blythe's doing, upon which Blythe slumps over on her chair. The pants slide away, revealing that Blythe accidentally put Roger's suit over Penny's head on her sketch pad.

As everyone else chats about how great their outfits will be, Penny's mood rapidly deteriorates. She hides behind the armchair in the corner, and Pepper goes in to try to talk to her. Attempts to negotiate end with the armchair bifurcated, and everyone else flees from Penny as she returns to the center of the room.

When Penny comes back down, she sees all of the other pets by the dumbwaiter, ready to confront Penny. Russell goes through a checklist of things that may have upset Penny, but it only annoys her further. Penny bursts into tears, and Vinnie tears out a page from Russell's notepad and gives it to Penny as a tissue paper and stays by her side. Penny confesses that she dislikes the design Blythe would make for her but is too afraid to say anything negative. Russell tells Penny he'll let Blythe know, and they hug and make up--though Russell's spines get himself stuck on Penny for a moment.

* FurryReminder: Minka, a monkey, is most inclined by far to check for fleas on Penny. She does so by rifling through Penny's fur on her head.

When she comes up to her room with Youngmee dropping by, Roger finds out about the tickets, obtains two, and asks if Blythe can help fix his old jacket and pants, which are so old and in such bad condition that Blythe isn't certain she can salvage them. As Roger leaves with the coat in Blythe's possession, he casually mentions about a date while tossing the outfit onto Blythe's sketch pad. She quickly draws up what Roger's clothes might look like on an exposed portion as Youngmee explains the Seven Stages of Coping with Parental Dating: distress and denial, "I didn't mean to," fury and promises, "So lonely I could cry," making adjustments, coming to grips, and "totally okay with it." Blythe immediately feels distressed and denies it until Youngmee points out what Blythe's doing, upon which Blythe slumps over on her chair. The pants slide away, revealing that Blythe accidentally put Roger's suit over Penny's head on her sketch pad.

Back at the day camp, Penny wonders what color would work best on her when Zoe comes in to provide style advice. In her room, Blythe kicks herself over not having spent enough time with Roger that he has to find a companion, and Youngmee, over the phone informs Blythe she's on the second stage. In the middle of it all, Penny, Zoe, and Minka come up to Blythe's room via the dumbwaiter and ask to see her designs. Blythe hurriedly hands them the sketchbook and readies herself for school. They like the outfits until they reach Penny's, who gasps. Blythe returns to her room for the sketchbook and dashes off. Penny gets put in a bad mood, and the three go back down.

At the school cafeteria, Blythe rages over why Roger would look for a date. Jasper suggests he may feel Blythe is inadequate, to which Blythe vows to be a better daughter, to which Youngmee texts Blythe letting her know she's on the third stage. Blythe gets so furious that she scares her friends away, but before she can really vent, Youngmee reminds Blythe over the phone that the next stage is "So lonely I could cry," upon which Blythe weeps in the cafeteria by herself.

As everyone else chats about how great their outfits will be, Penny's mood rapidly deteriorates, and she becomes extremely grumpy. She hides off behind the armchair in the corner, and Pepper goes in to try to talk to her. Before Pepper can do anything though, she hurries back to the other pets as Penny lets out a scream and rips up the armchair. The other pets, now horrified, run away from Penny as she stomps back to the middle of the room.

In Blythe's room, Blythe is working on fixing Roger's jacket when Roger comes in. Blythe asks about his date, to which he talks about how wonderful his woman is and gives her a cookie and a glass of milk as he dances back out. A dismayed Blythe stuffs the cookie in her mouth and gulps the milk down. Blythe is ready to put a flower squirter in Roger's jacket when she realizes that this date is making Roger happy. She tells this to Youngmee, who responds that Blythe has reached the fifth stage, adjusting to the situation.

Penny looks at herself in the mirror and vows to be more honest. She recalls not being particularly pleased with Pepper, Vinnie, and Zoe in the past and intends to tell Blythe how she really feels about the outfit. She blurts it out from the pet slide, discovers she's still alive, and decides to go through with it. Blythe puts the finishing touches on Roger's clothes, which she's changed into a more modern three-piece suit. Youngmee drops in on her phone, and Blythe tells her she's ready for taking on any dates Roger may have. Youngmee notifies her that Blythe has reached the sixth stage and that she's at the front door of the building. Blythe excitedly runs out of her room just as Penny enters. Penny discovers Roger's suit and climbs up the rack it's on to see what it's like anyway. She accidentally tears one of the sleeves and retreats back to the day camp room. Blythe comes back in and is shocked to see the damage, though Youngmee initially thinks Blythe tore it herself in rage.

When Penny comes back down, she sees all of the other pets by the dumbwaiter, ready to confront Penny. Russell goes through a checklist of things that may have upset Penny, but it only annoys her further. Penny bursts into tears, and Vinnie tears out a page from Russell's notepad and scampers over to Penny to talk to her. Penny confesses that she dislikes the design Blythe would make for her but is too afraid to say anything negative. Russell tells Penny that he'll let Blythe know, and they hug and make up--though Russell's spines get himself stuck on Penny for a moment.

Blythe is back to work fixing up Roger's sleeve when the pets, minus Penny, come up through the dumbwaiter. Blythe shows them their new clothes, and they excitedly put them on. Blythe asks where Penny could be, holding a pink dress for her, and Zoe says that she didn't like the "oversized man suit." Blythe soon realizes what happened, and Blythe finds Penny on the rooftop moping on a lawn chair. Penny yells out how she feels about the oversized man suit, to which Blythe shows her the pink dress intended for Penny. Blythe tells Penny that if she let Blythe know how she felt, there wouldn't be all this drama. Roger, in turn, finds Blythe on the rooftop to give her words of gratitude about his suit. He gives Blythe a rose and lets lets her know that she is his date--to which Blythe realizes this was a lesson she needed to learn herself. Roger also says that he knew Blythe would be so occupied with making clothes for everyone else that she'd forget to design some for herself. He asked Mrs. Twombly to go find a dress for Blythe, and she nervously accompanies Roger back down.

!! This episode contains examples of:

* BlandNameProduct: ''Lawnmower Wars'', Roger's favorite show, seems to be Downtown City's version of the competitive Creator/DiscoveryChannel and TLC programs.

** The purple-and-pink splotched background used for Blythe's evil laugh in [[Recap/LittlestPetShop2012S1E5PennyForYourLaughs Penny for Your Laughs]]" is remarkably similar to the background after Penny destroys the armchair.
* DeaderThanDisco: Roger's leather suit looks like it's been rotting in a cardboard box since TheEighties.
