Blythe debuts her new pet beachwear line; Penny Ling meets a lobster eager to get her in shape; Sunil and Vinnie face off in an intense sandcastle-building contest.
Tropes:
- An Aesop: You should be proud of yourself for who you are and not have to change anything about your physical appearance just to gain approval from others.
- Beach Episode
- Defrosting Ice King: Penny Ling's workout trainer is a bit crusty towards her at first, but she gains his respect after she proves how strong she is by saving his life.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?: After taking photos of the pets in their swimsuits, Leonardo informs Blythe that he'll edit them to make the pictures more visually appealing. When Blythe sees his edits, the pets are now half-human, half-animal hybrids in skimpy bathing suits.
- Drill Sergeant Nasty: Penny's workout trainer.
- Friendly Tickle Torture: Blythe playfully tickles Penny Ling to make her feel better.
- Goggles Do Nothing: Pepper has swim goggles with her swimsuit, but never once is shown going swimming.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Leonardo sounds a lot like Owen Wilson.
- Not What It Looks Like: Vinnie accidentally drops his chip bag on Sunil's sand castle, triggering a feud between them.
- Through a Face Full of Fur: Sunil, Penny Ling, and two lizards all blush at some point in this episode.
- Took a Level in Badass: Penny Ling is able to swim out in the ocean and save her lobster exercise instructor and a seal from certain death.
- Training from Hell: Played for Laughs. Penny's training is comically hard.
- Villainy-Free Villain: Both Leonardo and Penny Ling's coach aren't villainous per se, but they're doing nothing horrendous in the episode despite being opposed to Blythe and Penny.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Blythe comforts Penny Ling and informs her that she should be happy with who she is.
