They get back home just before Anne and her Mom show up, with Anne clearly under the influence of some pretty strong dentist medication, babbling complete nonsense while squeezing Hop Pop's cheeks. Mrs. Boonchuy explains that Anne had "eight cavities and a whole lot of cricket legs". The Boonchuys leave the loopy Anne with the Plantars as Hop Pop begs the human girl to let go of his face while Domino is seen casually licking herself.

TBA...

TBA...Anne is looking for some article about interdimensional portals on the internet, while the Plantars are happy to be living in the lap of luxury, with Hop Pop commenting on the two days they've been on Earth, only to be reminded by Sprig that they've been there for a week. Hop Pop declares themselves a "freeloader" and compares themselves to Cousin Stanley, a "relative" who had long ago been a freeloader on their farm and who they ended up literally throwing out the window. Mrs. Boonchuy arrives to tell Anne that they are going to the dentist to have her teeth checked, but this coincides with a vet appointment Anne had made for her cat, Domino. Mr. Boonchuy can't take the cat, because he has to work at the Restaurant. So the Plantars, in an attempt not to look like freeloaders, offer to help by taking Domino to the vet.

So, the Plantars try and round up the cat and get her into a travel case, which proves to be more difficult than they originally thought. The group puts on their disguises and ventures forth to take her to the vet with the help of a few tools from the Boonchuys, like a cell phone. They watch the local humans take the bus and follow the same actions they observe and climb aboard, but when the bus takes off, Hop Pop tries to latch on to something by shooting his tongue but ends up accidentally licking everyone on board, getting the group kicked off the bus.

Their quest continues and they finally end up at the vet's office, full of suspecting animals barking and hissing at them while they are disguised. Sprig also notices someone's pet frog and has a brief moment of connection with his brethren.

Domino is seen, but the Vet himself is bombarded with questions from the Plantars about back pain and frogs and their abilities, puzzling the doctor. As they leave, Domino unlatches her travel carrier and sneaks away, inevitably causing the frog family to panic to a point where Sprig calls Mr. Boonchuy and tells him they lost the cat, much to Hop Pop's chagrin.

Mr. Boonchuy tell them to go to the nearest Shawarma restaurant, as it is her favorite food. That's where they find her, to the delight of all the customers inside, where the owner of the restaurant says aloud that the cat is a customer magnet and he's never getting rid of her. The family sees a smoke detector inside the restaurant and Hop Pop replicates the high pitched alarm, evacuating the restaurant. Polly rolls around, pretending to be a ball of yarn to entice the cat back into her travel carrier, and as the fire department approaches, so does Mr. Boonchuy, who says he'll drop the group back at home on his way to the restaurant.

Hop Pop feels bad that he has to go out of his way again for the Plantars, calling himself a freeloader. Mr. Boonchuy stops the scooter and says to them that they took his daughter into their home when she was most in need, and kept her safe and fed her for five months. The Plantars will never be freeloaders.

They get back home just before Anne and her Mom show up, with Anne clearly under the influence of some pretty strong dentist medication. Mrs. Boonchuy explains that Anne had "eight cavities and a whole lot of cricket legs". The Boonchuys leave the loopy Anne with the Plantars as Hop Pop begs the human girl to let go of his face while Domino is seen casually licking herself.

* ChekhovsGun: The start of the episode has Domino messing around inside the house at the start of her day, doing activities like eating bugs, knocking pictures off the chest of drawers and with particular focus given to her pouncing on and playing with a ball of yarn. Later, Polly uses her round body shape and a length of string to mimic a ball of yarn to attract Domino towards her cage.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: As Mrs. Boonchuy points out, since Anne had been stuck in another world with no trip to the dentist for five months, she needs immediate dental care. Her trip to the dentist reveals she had developed eight cavities and had a lot of cricket legs stuck between her teeth. This results in her needing a heavy dose of pain medication for the operation and she becomes completely loopy in the aftermath.

* TokenEvilTeammate: PlayedForLaughs with Dominio in the Boonchuy family. She's not excessively hostile to the Plantars and has been willing to play around with Polly riding her like a horse in previous episodes, but as this episode showcases, she's still an animal and ''will'' attack the Plantars if they cross or upset her in any way. She even gives Polly a congratulatory pat on the head once they actually manage to get her to the vet's despite having [[CatsAreMean made their journey more difficult]] at one point by dragging Hop Pop into her cage when he tried to feed her ala ''Film/JurassicPark'', showing that it's NothingPersonal.
