Ivan the TerrificLittlest Pet Shop of Horrors

Senior Day is the fourth episode of the fourth season of Littlest Pet Shop and the eighty-second episode overall.

Overview[]

Russell begrudgingly agrees to let his father Jerry move in with him. Meanwhile, Blythe befriends an elderly woman who is eager to have Blythe meet her kindhearted granddaughters.

Summary[]

As Vinnie and Sunil engage in a staring contest with Minka as the judge, Blythe comes into the Littlest Pet Shop day camp and asks the pets if any of them are interested in a visit to the Sunset Siesta Retirement Village as therapy animals. Upon hearing that their purpose is to bring joy to the people there, Zoe is the first to volunteer. When Blythe asks the other pets, however, Vinnie and Sunil are too caught up in their staring contest (of which Vinnie admits they don't know what the prize would be) to accompany Blythe, Minka tells Blythe she has to focus as the judge and Pepper declines because her owner's parents frequently visit him, giving Pepper her fair share of elderly-related incidents. Penny Ling accepts the offer because she enjoys the attention, and finally, Russell agrees to come along so he can hang out with his father Jerry, as Jerry's owner is one of the residents there. When Blythe asks why Russell only visits Jerry very rarely, he says that Jerry is "a lot of a lot."

At Sunset Siesta Retirement Village, Blythe introduces the senior citizens to Russell, Penny, and Zoe, specifying that they won't talk back if spoken to. One of the residents puts Zoe on his head, thinking it's his hair piece. After much resistance, though, Blythe convinces him to let go of Zoe, and Blythe releases Zoe to go somewhere else. As Penny is getting petted and rubbed to much comfort, Blythe asks Russell if he'd like to be somewhere. As Russell responds, he's interrupted by a cranky-sounding voice demanding to be let through. Russell recognizes this voice as his father, but upon greeting him, Russell's father complains that Russell doesn't seem to visit much anymore and about Russell's hairdo. Russell's father then notices Blythe and, assuming she is Russell's new owner, reprimands Russell for driving the former one crazy. Russell can only mention that Blythe is a friend, not an owner, before his father then complains that Russell can't be friends with other hedgehogs and always has to be different. Blythe tries to introduce herself, but Russell's father, who says to call him Jerry, speaks sarcastically about her to Russell about her trying to initiate conversation with him. Russell points out that Blythe can actually understand animals and that she was trying to be nice. Seeing the situation unfold, Blythe tells Russell that he really is "a lot of a lot." This only incites more anger from Jerry, interpreting the phrase as modern slang. Blythe, having become nervous, walks away, leaving Russell to Jerry.

With the two alone, Jerry tells Russell that he's in a predicament: Jerry's owner is moving to another retirement home but is not allowed to take Jerry with him. He learned this overhearing a conversation from his owner, who is also quite distraught. When Russell asks if another owner at the retirement home could adopt him, Jerry says that no one else is willing to do that and that he is no longer fit to live in the wild. After some pity-mongering, Jerry convinces Russell to move in with him, and with that, Jerry produces suitcases and gets ready to move out, albeit with Russell doing all the packing up.

In another room, Lorraine is walking on a treadmill when Blythe comes into the room and says hello, with Lorraine deciding on calling Blythe as "B." As Blythe replaces the wilted flowers at her windowsill with fresh ones, Lorraine remarks that this is the sort of thing her granddaughters often do when coming in to visit and shows a photograph of them to Blythe. Though Blythe would like to meet them, the photo perplexes her as it is very blurry. As Blythe talks about how she and Lorraine's granddaughters never seem to visit at the same time, she sees Russell carrying a big stack of suitcases and boxes following behind Jerry, with him dropping one and quickly putting it back on top of the stack. Blythe excuses herself from Lorraine's room to go find out what's going on with Russell, with Russell explaining that Jerry's owner Larry has to move to a new retirement home where pets are not allowed, and Jerry has no choice but to move in with Russell. Blythe interprets it as an act of kindness, but Russell isn't too enthused. Before he can say much, however, Jerry yells at Russell to be quiet and get back to work, reminding Russell that everything must be fully packed by 4 PM, as he has dinner during then and if his dinner is delayed, he will have urinary problems. As the hedgehogs leave, Blythe finds Zoe back on the head of the man from before, unable to leave and desperately whispering to Blythe for help.

At Mrs. Owen's house, Russell finishes unpacking for Jerry, but when Jerry comes back from the bathroom, he is unhappy with his bed's placement next to the heater and the perceived dirtiness of the pillowcase. Because of that, he forcibly lies down on Russell's bed, forcing Russell to sleep in Jerry's for the night.

The following morning, Russell gets up out of bed and heads to the kitchen, where he sees Jerry eating out of Russell's food bowl. When Russell voices his complaint, Jerry says his breakfast is mushy and holds up an unappetizing and hairy glop with fish bones and octopus tentacles in it. Repulsed and ready to vomit, Russell heads elsewhere. At the end of the day, Russell sees Jerry asleep in front of the TV. He sneaks over with a large bowl of popcorn and attempts to watch The Duchess of Lancashire Lane, but changing the channel immediately wakes Jerry up, who demands to change the channel back. Russell complies and frustratedly stomps away, only to have Jerry fall asleep again, to Russell's annoyance. Later on, Jerry looks over Russell's shoulder as he's reading a book, and without saying a word, Russell gives the book to Jerry, who tries to read it and promptly falls asleep. Russell attempts to get away from Jerry by hiding in a closet, but he finds Jerry there too.

Blythe arrives at the retirement home early to visit Lorraine and also in order to meet Lorraine's granddaughters. As Blythe combs Lorraine's hair so she can look her best, Lorraine tells Blythe that this is exactly what her granddaughters would do if they expected a guest coming and states that they will be BFFLs, or "Best Friends for Life." Blythe urges Lorraine to go for a walk as Blythe tidies up her room, and as Lorraine leaves, Blythe excitedly anticipates meeting Lorraine's granddaughters.

Russell has since brought Jerry to the Littlest Pet Shop's day camp. Following closely behind, Jerry expresses his disappointment over the day camp's lack of bingo and wonders what they're supposed to do to pass the time. Russell suggests to hang out with his friends while muttering to himself that it's a chance for Jerry to leave him alone. Russell first introduces Jerry to Zoe. Recognizing her on the trip back from the retirement community, Jerry immediately starts trying to woo Zoe. Seeing Zoe react uncomfortably, Russell pulls Jerry away and leads him to Vinnie. Jerry mistakes Vinnie for a komodo dragon who might eat him, but Vinnie corrects him telling him he's a gecko. Jerry then mocks Russell for being overweight and that he's a more suitable meal, asking when the last time was that Russell saw a dumbbell while slapping his belly. Vinnie takes a liking to Jerry's wit, and Jerry by extension. Unable to stop laughing, Vinnie, now calling Russell "Rusty," asks Russell why he didn't tell Vinnie about Jerry's sense of humor and walks away. Vinnie's laughing brings Pepper over, who requests to Jerry to teach her how to be wittier. Jerry simply states that he just says whatever he feels is funny, such as Russell's nose making whistling noises when he snores and compares it to a basketball referee. This creates raucous laughter from the other six pets in the day camp, which angers Russell so much that he snaps, letting out all of his grievances about Jerry back in his face, namely that Jerry refuses to allow Russell any time to himself. The other pets stare at Russell, frozen in shock. Jerry is the first to break the silence, talking about him packing up and living as a hobo, with a worried Russell requesting not to be so dramatic.

In Lorraine's room, as Blythe finishes puts everything back in place she hears Lorraine coming down the hallway talking about how "B" has been so helpful. Blythe heads out to the hallway and sees Whittany and Brittany Biskit accompanying Lorraine, saying that Lorraine has been talking so nice about this "B" and how they'd love to meet her. Blythe then retreats up against a wall, in panic now that she knows Lorraine's granddaughters are her enemies in school, the Biskit Twins. Blythe tries to hide under the comforter, then the lampshade, then the armchair, and, after some looking around, tucks herself in the closet. Lorraine enters the room, with the Biskit Twins following. Whittany tells Lorraine how impressed she is with "B"'s sense of style, while Brittany says she's certain they can be good friends with "B." Blythe, still in the closet, fills up with dread.

At the day camp, Russell rants to the other pets about how Jerry has taken over his life and follows him everywhere, but that it doesn't mean he wants Jerry to leave, just that Jerry is hard to live with and that they have no common ground. Sunil, listening to Russell, understands his plight and advises Russell that Jerry may just be ornery because he suddenly had to move to a new place and that he is likely to adjust better over time, with Zoe chiming in that Jerry likely knows a few wise things he will teach Russell if given a chance. With that in mind, Russell decides to head out and search for his father.

Back in Lorraine's room, Blythe, still hiding in the closet, frantically tries to find a way out of her situation without getting in trouble. She sees Whittany discussing with Brittany about heading to the commons room to find a board game in anticipation to play with "B." The twins leave, and Lorraine falls asleep. Sensing that it's her chance, Blythe makes a break out of Lorraine's room, but the twins double back into Lorraine's room, about to ask what sort of board game Lorraine would like to play, when they bump into Blythe. Whittany angrily demands to know what Blythe is doing in Lorraine's room. Her loudness wakes Lorraine up, who looks over and delightedly says that "B" is here. To the twins' horror, they learn that "B" has been Blythe all along.

In Mrs. Owens's room, Jerry stands in a corner with his belongings in a pile along with his boxes and suitcases. Russell comes over and says that he would prefer Jerry to stay, saying that it can be rough adjusting to a new place and that, with that in mind, anything Jerry does will be okay with Russell from now on. Hearing that, Jerry tells Russell that he only knows of life at the retirement home and that he owes Russell an apology as well. Jerry admits that he never intended to be overbearing or to embarrass Russell in front of his friends. Russell assures Jerry that this is just a normal part of life.

With the Biskit Twins aghast at the identity of "B," Blythe pretends to meet them for the first time and introduces herself, but the twins do not play along. Blythe then hints in her act that their sweet and kind behavior feels "too good to be true." The twins look over to Lorraine, who nervously smiles back. Lorraine then hands Blythe a gift, telling Blythe that it's from her granddaughters, which turns out to be a sweater with a picture of a cat on it. Despite protest from Whittany and Brittany, Blythe puts the sweater on and tells the twins how much she likes it. Seeing the girls so happy, Lorraine tells them that they can be BFFLs. With Blythe rubbing in what Lorraine says, Brittany gets sick enough of Blythe to escort Blythe out of the room with Whittany's help.

When the twins bring Blythe out into the hallway, they and Blythe tell each other that they couldn't believe the other party's identity, with Whittany proclaiming that it took everything she had to avoid screaming. Brittany tells Blythe of her disbelief that Lorraine wants her and Whittany to be friends, and the three of them say "As if!" in unison and laugh. The Biskit Twins and Blythe agree to never be friends, to come visit Lorraine at different times, and never mention of the other's actions in the retirement home or of the cat sweater. The two walk off in opposite directions as they exit the building.

Larry makes his way to the Littlest Pet Shop and enters, requesting to pick up Jerry. When Blythe asks about Jerry not being allowed where he's headed, he says that he misheard: He was told not that he couldn't have Jerry, but that he couldn't have Jeggings and reveals he had been wearing Jeggings pants underneath his robe. Jerry overhears the conversation, along with the other pets, and asks Russell if it's okay for him to return to Larry. Russell says that it's okay because Larry is his owner and that it's how it should be. Jerry, proud of his son, gives Russell a hug, then rolls over to Larry, promising to visit often, albeit with Russell quietly hoping for it to not be too often. Larry, overjoyed to see Jerry again, picks him up and carries him out of the Littlest Pet Shop, mentioning that the Littlest Pet Shop feels like "a lot of a lot."

Continuity[]

  • Russell's plot is similar to Blythe's plot in Helicopter Dad.
  • On the television in Russell's home, a film is playing showing a groundhog popping out of a hole. This seems to be a very subtle nod to In The Loop in which Russell was trapped within a Groundhog Day time loop, which aired 9 months prior to this episode.
