Honey is excited to mentor the neighbor's new puppy, but feels lonelier than ever when the puppy prefers Chief; Shel thinks he can finally be alone with Darla, but Lindsay has other plans.
Tropes:
- All Love Is Unrequited: Elsa has had a crush on a dog named Jimmy Chonga since they were puppies, while he doesn't know she exists.
- Cliffhanger: This episode has three — Honey running away with the coyote, Shel getting run over by his owner, and Ray Liotta planning to cook Max for a luau themed birthday party.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Shel pushes Darla out of the way when Xavier's car backs up unexpectedly, and gets run over, twice.
- Meat-O-Vision: In The Stinger, Ray Liotta is trying to figure out the theme for a relative's birthday party. Looking around his yard, he imagines a Hawaiian luau, and sees Max lying in a recliner as a roast pig on a spit.
- Replacement Goldfish: Jill gets the neighbors who owned Big Cookie a new puppy, which they name Little Cookie. This adds to Honey's distress when Little Cookie prefers Chief's company over hers.
- Too Much Information: Diablo's attempt at being Elsa's wingman for Jimmy Chonga fails when he "makes conversation" by talking about all the fantasies Elsa's told the group about being Jimmy's girlfriend.
