-> Written by M.A. Larson (as Mitchell Larson) and Roger Eschbacher
-> Teleplay by Roger Eschbacher
As Mrs. Twombly stacks cans of cat food down in the pet shop, Blythe has a makeup session with Zoe, Minka, Penny, and Pepper. Pepper's understanding of makeup proves more limited than the others, however, and Zoe takes offense to her garishly orange eye-shadow. When Blythe takes out her "emergency brush," which she always carries on her, Minka insists on having it, but Blythe refuses.
The boys, meanwhile, lazily hang out in the day care room. Sunil soon grows bored of not having the girls around, but Vinnie and Russell brush him off and demonstrate they're having a blast.
During Blythe's makeup session, she receives a call from Sue reminding Blythe to come to Sue's {{Flashmob}} at the grocery store. Sue points out that last time they tried this, Blythe and Youngmee had forgotten, leaving Sue dancing to loud music in a library by herself and getting in trouble. This time, Youngmee also calls Blythe asking where she is. With no time to lose, Blythe rushes into the dumbwaiter to take a shortcut down via The Littlest Pet Shop, along with Pepper, Minka, and Zoe, but accidentally fall down the column before Penny can get in, and they get trapped mid-chamber. Blythe soon notices Penny is not with them and asks Penny if she can tug on the rope. Penny tries with all her might but discovers the rope has been ridiculously tangled on the pulley. Blythe suggests Penny go alert the boys down below, but Penny points out that there's a good chance of being caught by Roger or Mrs. Twombly. Blythe then asks if Penny can drop down through her bedroom window and enter the pet shop from the outside, but Penny notices there is no way for her to safely climb down.
In the day care room, the boys grow getting impatient waiting for Blythe and the others to return. In an attempt to do something exciting, Sunil and Vinnie throw Russell into the air and get him stuck on the ceiling due to his spines.
In the dumbwaiter, Zoe criticizes Pepper's choice of makeup colors. Pepper snaps back at Zoe's perfectionism, and the two get into an argument. Minka, standing directly behind Pepper, has to smell the skunk stench Pepper emits when upset, which gives Minka a panic attack. To placate Minka, Blythe hands Minka her emergency comb, which keeps her in one place for the time being.
Seeing no other alternative, Penny opens Blythe's bedroom window, chews on a stick of gum, and floats down using a bubble. Along her descent, a pigeon destroys her bubble, and after getting flung around above the streets, lands harmlessly in a garbage can. She leaps out and sneaks past Mrs. Twombly and into the day care room, where she finds the boys and informs them of the situation in the dumbwaiter. Sunil gets Russell off the ceiling by tossing a cobra plush at him, and they clamor over who gets to save the girls. In the middle of this dispute, Mrs. Twombly spots Russell, Vinnie, Sunil, and Penny at the dumbwaiter and puts them in a large cage. As Mrs. Twombly leaves, however, Penny instantly finds a means to escape and sneak herself and the boys outside of The Littlest Pet Shop. Russell suggests using the fire escape stairs on the side of the building to return to Blythe's room.
Back at the dumbwaiter, Blythe's attempts to stop Zoe and Pepper from going at each other's throats have been in vain, and they continue to scream and shout at each other. Zoe peacefully offers Pepper her dog bone Pepper had been wanting, however, which also calms Pepper down, and Pepper decides Zoe can keep it.
Penny returns to Blythe's room with the boys. Vinnie and Sunil start thinking themselves as macho heroes saving the ladies, but Penny yells back at them that this is her plan and that she's in charge. The four of them slide down the dumbwaiter rope, and Penny commands the boys to jump in unison. As they do so, the dumbwaiter very slowly but surely heads down with each impact. Eventually, the knot, slamming itself against the pulley, unties itself, and everyone freefalls down the dumbwaiter. Minka, having regained her composure, wedges Blythe's emergency comb between the dumbwaiter and the wall, slowing down the dumbwaiter so everyone can safely disembark from it.
With everyone in the day care room, Blythe thanks the boys for getting the dumbwaiter unstuck. Russell says the credits should go to the girls, Penny and Minka. In return for her help, Blythe lets Minka keep the emergency brush, though it's become horribly misshapen.
Later, Blythe tells Sue and Youngmee about what happened and why she couldn't attend the flashmob. They show her that it's for the best, as Roger was caught on camera dancing a few feet away, facing the wrong direction.
