Synopsis[]
When Dolly performs a stunt that ends up injuring Hugo, Delilah makes her replace him as Clarissa's humble servant!
Plot[]
Dolly shows off the Fletch Ball Flinger to the rest of her dalmatian siblings in honor of the Fletch Ball Finals happening that day. She activates it, even though she has not tested it, and the balls shoot through into their neighbor's yard; injuring Hugo. Clarissa threatens to call Pearl on them for "pet cruelty", but Doug and Delilah suggest that Dolly fill in for him while Delilah takes Hugo to the hospital to get checked up on. This shocks Dolly as she wanted to attend the Fletch Ball Finals and now might have to miss it. Clarissa takes advantage of this to humiliate Dolly by having her perform a variety of chores for her while she is dressed in a maid outfit. Dolly asks to go to the Finals after she has cleaned everything, but Clarissa prevents her by making a mess for her. Dylan and the Canal Crew show up to help her out by cleaning for her and covering her in soot as a disguise; sending her on her way.
Dolly shows up at the park and witnesses the arrival of the Royal Corgi Family. She hides under a park bench to avoid Clarissa and encounters the Prince Corgi who cannot stand the attention like the rest of his family. They end up bonding over similar interests, but when the Finals end, Dolly tells him that she must go. As she leaves, the Prince realizes that she was covered in soot and tries to follow her. Dolly is stopped by Pearl who confiscates her skateboard, but the Prince asks for it. Dolly is forced to rush back to Clarissa's house where Dylan and the Canal Crew are waiting to wash and prep her for Clarissa's arrival.
Clarissa and her friends arrive back and although they are suspicious, they are distracted by the arrival of the Prince who is asking for help looking for the owner of the skateboard. Arabella and Prunella claim to own it, but clearly do not have the skills. Dolly beckons Clarissa to ride it and she zooms out the door and injures Hugo, yet again, an action witnessed by Dylan who calls Pearl to arrest her for pet cruelty. The Prince realizes that Dolly is the owner and they decide to skateboard together.

Trivia[]
- The entire episode is a homage to Cinderella, with Dolly as Cinderella, Dylan as the Fairy Godmother, Clarissa as the Stepmother, and Arabella & Prunella as the Stepsisters. Dolly lampshades this by commenting how her skateboard is "better than a pumpkin".
- Big Fee covers Dolly in soot as a disguise, in homage to the original 101 Dalmatians film, when the Dalmatians cover themselves in soot to disguise themselves as Labradors.
- When everyone is watching a screening of the Fetch Ball Finals (which is actually tennis), the game on the screen resembles Pong.
