They then go up to the grand ballroom.

Dog Man turns off the Mecha-Suit and discovers that Chief is writing a love letter to Nurse Lady. Dog Man doesn't like the letter, and expresses this by blowing a raspberry. Chief crumples it up and throws it away and admits that he'll always be alone. Dog Man then comforts Chief after realizing what he's done. Chapter 6: The PlaydateBig Jim returns with batteries from Grampa's alarm clock. Grampa made a note that he "escaped" while Big Jim was getting the batteries.

Suddenly, the doorbell rings, and Li'l Petey jumps out of the bathtub to answer it, causing Petey to clean up the spilled water. Later, Li'l Petey asks Petey if he can have a playdate with Molly, and Petey says no, unbeknownst to the fact that Molly has already arrived.
