Scrambled Pets

"Scrambled Pets" is the thirty-ninth episode of the Disney Junior series Sofia the First, which aired on October 17, 2014.

Plot
Sofia, James, Amber, and their friend Vivian are in the play area, playing with their pets: Clover, Freedo, Praline, and Crackle. Freedo keeps bumping into Praline, much to the peacock's annoyance. Amber tries to comfort Praline by giving him some apple slices only to find them all gone. This is because Clover took them and is eating them while he and Crackle are playing on the seesaw. After Freedo bumps into Praline once again, Amber complains to James that his baboon keeps bumping into all the other pets. James defends him by stating the playground is too small. Amber agrees with him and thinks they should bring their pets to the playground at Royal Prep. James and Vivian both think it's a good idea but Sofia is against the plan because bringing pets to school is against the rules. However, after being persuaded by James, Amber and Vivian she eventually joins in on their plan, despite her misgivings about it.

The next day, the quartet sneak their pets in and so far all goes well. In sorcery class, Professor Popov is serving as a substitute teacher because the three Good Fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather, are giving a new student, Princess Zooey, and her mother, Queen Avery, a tour of the school. He teaches the class how to make the Mix-Up Potion, a potion that mixes up any two things, which he demonstrates on an apple and an orange. All the apples and oranges attract the attention of Clover and Praline. Luckily, Popov doesn't see them and hands everyone what they need for the potion. Just then, Popov is informed that the magic tap shoes have gotten loose again and leaves to take care of it. Sofia's misgivings resurface because he almost saw the pets but Amber tells her to relax and there's nothing to worry about. But Sofia's concerns soon become a frightening reality when James drops an apple that catches Praline's attention and he goes after it, revealing himself to the class. Soon Clover and Freedo come out of hiding to help themselves to the fruit and Crackle comes out and tries to stop them and the ruckus they make causes the potion to spill on them. Clover is mixed up with Crackle and Praline is mixed up with Freedo, much to the peacock's dismay. Things soon get worse when Freedo sees a ball and feels the urge to fetch it and Praline goes after him. The kids decide to get their pets back before the teachers see them. Before leaving, Sofia apologizes to Clover and Crackle and promises to fix everything as soon as they catch Praline and Freedo. After the young royals have gone, Clover and Crackle decide to go look for Freedo and Praline themselves but at the same time struggle with being each other.

While Sofia, James, Amber and Vivian are out on the school grounds looking for their pets, the fairies are nearby showing Princess Zooey and Queen Avery around Royal Prep. Meanwhile, Clover and Crackle are still struggling with being each other and, through a song, they gain a better understanding of each other because of this. The kids find Praline and Freedo and head back only to find Clover and Crackle gone. Sofia is ready to go to the teachers and confess but Amber tells her they can and must handle this themselves which James and Vivian agree to because they don't want to get in trouble. Amber and James try to get Freedo back to normal but only succeed in making him a giant with an Enlargement Potion. Sofia and Vivian find Clover and Crackle and get back just in time to discover what James and Amber had done. Freedo heads towards the gym leading the fairies to discover the scrambled pets. The fairies demand an explanation and Sofia tells them what they did and what happened. The Fairies are disappointed but give the kids the antidotes to the two potions. After a struggle with Freedo, the four pets are returned to normal, Popov also finally catches the magic tap shoes and Zooey agrees to enrol at Royal Prep. On the way home, Sofia apologizes to Clover for what happened and Clover tells her it wasn't so bad. Crackle also admits it was great fun being half a rabbit and after stating they should do it again, she holds up a vial of Mix-Up Potion. Sofia and the other animals all scream a resounding "NO!" except Freedo who squeals a resounding "YES!" with delight. The other three animals leap on Crackle causing her to drop the vial and spill the potion on themselves, resulting in them getting mixed up once again.
