To Paris With Zoe is the fourteenth episode of the second season of Littlest Pet Shop and the fortieth episode overall.
Overview[]
While at a dog show in Paris, Blythe is smitten with Paris and Zoe with a street dog named Philippe.
Summary[]
Blythe is attempting to study French with the pets nearby but with little success despite Pepper giving her best French talk. However, Roger bursts into the Littlest Pet Shop and informs Blythe that Zoe's owners are sick and cannot take Zoe to a dog show in Paris, and they have requested Blythe be their substitute.
As Blythe boards the Pet Jet, Roger introduces Blythe to his co-pilot, Stephanie Hart, who lets Blythe know that her daughter Emma is already on board. Blythe heads to the cabin to meet Emma, who introduces both herself and her aspirations as a tour guide. To that extent, she has a stack of foreign language books next to her that she studies as she chats. During the conversation, Blythe spots Zoe a bit further down and excuses herself to sit with Zoe as Emma returns to her studies. Zoe can barely contain her excitement in wanting to meet up with Madame Pom once again. As the Pet Jet takes off, Blythe reassures Zoe that, despite her thrill at getting to tour Paris, Zoe's needs must come first.
Back at the Littlest Pet Shop, Mrs. Twombly rolls in the TV to prepare for Zoe's televised appearance on the dog show. However, as she surfs through the channels, she realizes her programming package does not include the channel the pet show will be on. Mrs. Twombly stops on the Insect Channel, which catches Vinnie's interest, and leaves the room to look into the issue further. As the pets await Zoe to show up for the fashion competition, they fantasize about the “exciting” spectacle that is Paris, France via song. Despite Penny, Russell, Minka, Pepper and Sunil anticipating seeing Paris as a whole, Sunil states that they wish they would see it, considering that Vinnie was being glued to the Insect Channel.
Arriving in Paris, Blythe gets easily distracted by everything she sees, which requires Zoe to put her mind back on track. Blythe says the dog show grounds are near the Eiffel Tower and is comforted that she's heading towards it. Along the way, however, Zoe passes by a French Spaniel street mime named Philippe. After he performs a rose-plucking gesture for Zoe, she becomes smitten with him, and Philippe returns her affections. As Blythe resumes walking towards the dog show, she tells Zoe if Philippe may be a “thorn” to her preparations for the show.
Blythe arrives at the dog show grounds, where Madame Pom cheerfully shows up and greets her. Zoe, however, is too distracted thinking about Philippe to even notice Madame Pom, before she leaves.
Having staked out the location, Blythe escorts Zoe back to the hotel room and sews Zoe a dress. She asks for Zoe's opinions, but again, Zoe's attention is completely elsewhere. Emma comes into Blythe's room and asks if they would like to tour the city together. Despite the dog show being in a couple of hours, Blythe figures she has time and drops Zoe at the dog show grounds. The moment Blythe leaves for the tour, however, Zoe sneaks out.
Back at LPS, Mrs. Twombly has spoken to her cable provider and has gotten the channel added to her package. She changes the TV from the Insect Channel to the new one and puts Vinnie in distress. The moment she goes somewhere else, however, Vinnie grabs the remote and changes it back to the Insect Channel, scaring off anyone who even comes close to the remote.
Zoe eventually returns to Philippe and sits by him in awe. Philippe attempts to just do his job, but Zoe keeps interpreting it as signs of his love for her. Meanwhile, Blythe goes around shopping for fabrics. Emma notices Blythe is losing track of time and suggests they return, but Blythe insists on one or two more things.
As Pepper worries about potentially missing out on the dog show, Russell attempts to distract Vinnie by mentioning an all-gecko dancing event outside, but this does not deter Vinnie one bit.
Zoe brings Philippe to the dog show grounds and introduces him to Madame Pom. Philippe does his rose gesture to Madame Pom too, causing Zoe to get furious. Madame Pom's attempts to explain that Zoe is just seeing what she wants to see are in vain as Zoe storms out of the dog show grounds with Philippe, convinced that Madame Pom wants to sabotage her. With that, Zoe eventually scampers off as Phillippe follows suit by pretending to be blown away by the wind.
At the café, Blythe, having been on the tour around Paris for so long, realizes that she’s going to be late for the dog show, so Emma decides to call a taxi. They head straight to the Eiffel Tower, only to be immediately caught in a traffic jam.
Russell finally gets Vinnie's attention away from the TV with a fake fly attached to a fishing rod. As Vinnie chases the fly around, Pepper leaps onto the remote and changes the channel. When Vinnie realizes that it was a trick, he finally notices that he selfishly got caught up on the Insect Channel all the time and allows the others to watch the dog show in Paris.
Zoe walks down the street with Philippe when he books at an invisible wall. As he does the rose-picking gesture with Zoe again. Noticing that she's watching him do it repeatedly, as well as his adamant ability to say anything, Zoe realize that her feelings had interfered with her sights towards the dog show. Zoe then hears an announcement of the dog show starting and scrambles back to the show grounds as fast as she can.
With time running out for Blythe to reach the dog show grounds, Emma suggested her to run on top of the traffic jam, all while saying "Excuse me" ("Pardonne-Moi) in French.
Unfortunately, by the time she reaches the show grounds, it's too late for Zoe, as she has already been disqualified for not showing up. She sees Madame Pom onstage in line and asks for her forgiveness, which Pom accepts. Blythe then runs up onstage, deciding instead to reach the dog show on foot. The two of them apologize to each other profusely for being late by getting distracted. Madame Pom pulls some strings, however, as she drops out of the competition, and re-enters herself in the duo division with Zoe as her partner. They easily win that division, and Zoe promises to keep herself firmly down-to-earth, with Blythe stepping in whenever she gets too lovestruck.
