"Harry's Maturity Crisis" is the second segment of the twenty-third episode of the Disney Channel animated series Kiff.
Synopsis[]
When Harry runs away, Barry and Kiff do anything they can to bring him back.
Plot[]
At the Buns residence, Barry and Kiff are having a sleepover, while Mary is doing housework and the other Buns children are busy with their own hobbies. When Mary notes that her children and her "bonus baby" Kiff are all together in one place and tries to give them all kisses, Harry objects and points out that he is 17. He asks Mary if he can borrow her hot rod, but she says that he is not yet mature enough to drive it. Feeling that Mary is babying him, Harry packs a suitcase and announces that he is moving out forever, then storms out. Everyone is indifferent to his departure except Barry, who is concerned for his brother. Kiff tells Barry that Harry is just a kid and has nowhere else to go, then shows Barry that Harry is just standing outside the house. Harry ends up spending the night in the shed in the backyard.
The next morning, Kiff and Barry try luring Harry back into the house with the smell of freshly cooked breakfast, but he sees through their plan and heads for downtown Table Town. Kiff and Barry find Harry seeking out food in the alley behind Bonut's Donuts, where rejected donuts occasionally get thrown out by Cakie. They remind him that he can enjoy free meals at home, but he refuses to return. Harry continues roaming Table Town in search of food and shelter, to little success. However, he eventually manages to find a job at Rat's Hats and Mats, with Rat agreeing to let Harry sleep in the back room.
Kiff and Barry pose as obnoxious customers at Rat's Hats and Mats to pressure Harry into quitting his job, but are impressed when they see Harry's personalized back room. Barry proposes to Kiff that instead of bringing Harry home, they can move in with Harry. Harry allows them to live with him, but he soon finds himself having to rein in their immature behavior, which makes him appreciate how Mary manages to do the same with Harry and his siblings. Harry returns home and apologizes to Mary, who forgives him and lets him take a ride with her in her hot rod. Meanwhile, Rat discovers Kiff and Barry in the back room of his store and tells them to leave.
