Courtney starts cooking a special dinner for her brother Johnny. But then Johnny calls and can't make it. Courtney is very disappointed. Oogleberry and the others pitch in to make a special dinner for Courtney to make her feel better.
Mr. D doesn't accept any help from Tiny Tina in dancing. Meanwhile, Oogleberry gets sprayed by a skunk. Oogleberry is embarrassed by the smell and is afraid to ask for help. Everyone realizes that when people help you it is another way of showing that they love you.
While Courtney and Tiny Tina are away at the vet, Dr. Schmeltz, for a check up, Mr. D tricks Mo into doing something. He learns that playing tricks on people is not a good thing to do. Also, Mr. D finds out that telling the truth is much better than making excuses.
Mr. D is fed up with gang and seizes the opportunity to visit his former owners (believing it to be a better home) and starts packing. The others soon realize they don't want Mr. D to leave, and Mr. D comes to realize he is already in the best place he could be, at Courtney's home with his friends.
