**Episode Title: "Prankster in a Trance"**

---

**[OPENING SCENE: PET LUX HOTEL LOBBY]**

*The camera pans in on TRIP HAMSTON unpacking a suspiciously sparkly, old-fashioned pocket watch. JADE CATKIN lounges nearby, pawing at a crossword. ROXIE McTERRIER zips in, followed by BEV GILTURTLE, EDIE VON KEET, and QUINCY GOATEE.*

**TRIP:** (twirling the watch) Behold! The greatest prank device to ever grace Paw-Tucket: Trip Hamston’s Hypno-Whammy-Watch 3000!

**ROXIE:** (raising an eyebrow) That looks like something from your grandma’s attic.

**TRIP:** Ah, but does your grandma’s attic have mind control? Watch closely…

**[TRIP spins the watch in front of JADE.]**

**TRIP:** Jade, stare at the watch...you are getting *sleeeepy*...

**JADE:** (amused) Very funny, Trip. I'm totally not—

*Her eyes droop. Suddenly, she’s up on her feet and… barking?*

**JADE:** Woof! Woof! — Wait, huh? I mean... m-meow?

**TRIP:** (winking at the others) JADE now thinks she’s a *dog*!

*Everyone erupts into giggles, except Jade, who’s now chasing her own tail, slightly horrified.*

**ROXIE:** You can’t just hypnotize us! That’s against the “No Weirdness Without Warning” rule!

**TRIP:** (mischievously) Y’know what’s even weirder, Roxie? Every time you hear the word—oh, what was it? Ah yes—*fetch*—you’ll freeze! Like a statue!

**ROXIE:** Not gonna work, Trip. I’m immune to your tricks and—

**TRIP:** (to Quincy) Hey Quincy, wanna play fetch?

*Instantly, Roxie stops mid-run, tail in the air, completely motionless, eyes wide.*

**QUINCY:** (concerned) Whoa! You okay, Rox?

*Bev pokes her and Roxie unfreezes, stumbling forward.*

**ROXIE:** TRIP! What did you do?!

**TRIP:** Just a teeny-tiny prank. Here Bev, my last volunteer! Watch the watch… when I snap my hooves, you’ll decide walking on four legs is… so yesterday!

*Trip snaps his hooves. Bev stands up shakily on her two hind feet, swaying like a penguin.*

**BEV:** Guys, why do I feel so… tall? Woo, check this out! (she totters clumsily)

**EDIE:** Oh, darling, you look positively elegant!

**TRIP:** Speaking of talent… Edie, when you hear the word “soar” you’ll forget how to fly. Sorry, not sorry!

**EDIE:** (horrified) Trip, you wouldn’t!

**TRIP:** Let’s just say, you’re about to have... *grounding issues*.

**QUINCY:** This is the best show ever. Uh, not that I want to, you know, lose my cool. (watches Trip nervously)

**TRIP:** Don’t worry, Quincy! For you, how about a wild streak? When I say “adventure”—you’ll suddenly want to do the wildest thing in sight. Daredevil Quincy!

**QUINCY:** (gulp) Can I get a refund on that offer?

**MONTAGE — TRIP’S HYPNOTIZED FRIENDS:**

— Jade sniffs a tree and tries to dig in a sandpit.

— Roxie freezes while chasing a ball after Quincy yells, “FETCH!”

— Bev, upright, awkwardly tries to surf a puddle board.

— Edie, upon seeing a bird, says “If only I could SOAR,” and flails comically when she tries to fly, falling into a fluffy bush.

— Quincy, when Trip says “adventure!” tries to pole-vault over the Pet Lux fountain with an umbrella.

**[LATER: THE GROUP HUDDLES TOGETHER, SANS TRIP]**

**JADE:** (dog growl) This prank has gone too far. I have the sudden urge to roll in stinky stuff, and I don’t like it!

**ROXIE:** If Trip says “fetch” one more time, I’m stuck like a statue! We’ve been pranked!

**BEV:** I’m tired of being tall! My legs hurt!

**EDIE:** My wings are cramping!

**QUINCY:** I pole-vaulted into the snack stand…

**ROXIE:** Revenge time. Everybody agree?

**ALL:** Revenge!

**[REVENGE PLAN IN ACTION — PET LUX LOBBY]**

*Trip, gloating, shows off his Hypno-Whammy-Watch to a crowd of amused onlookers.*

**TRIP:** (dramatically) Now, witness as I return everyone to normal—maybe.

*Edie flutters up (awkwardly). Jade is crawling and wagging her tail. Bev totters on two feet. Roxie keeps dodging the word “fetch.” Quincy’s wearing swimming goggles.*

**ROXIE:** Trip, what say we call a truce? You de-hypnotize us, and we’ll…uh—let you try something amazing!

**TRIP:** Ooooh, a challenge? I'm listening...

**BEV:** (from behind Trip, flashes a mirror) Trip, check out your REFLECTION!

**TRIP:** (smirking at himself, then… eyes glaze over as he unwittingly catches his own hypnosis watch) I am...the world’s biggest pooch…

*He suddenly sprawls on the floor, panting and wagging his tail.*

**QUINCY:** Woah! The prankster got pranked!

**ROXIE:** (grins) And, just like you told Jade, you are a dog!

**EDIE:** (flicks the watch's dial) Now, let’s undo everything, shall we, darling?

*She de-hypnotizes everyone, including Trip, who blinks and shakes his head.*

**[CLOSING SCENE]**

**TRIP:** I guess the joke’s on me, huh?

**JADE:** Next time, try “pet-napping” instead of “pet-zapping.”

**QUINCY:** Or just, you know, regular naps.

**BEV:** Or walk a mile in someone’s…paws, not shoes!

**ROXIE:** Besides, you’re way funnier when you’re, you know, not hypnotizing everyone.

*Everyone laughs. Trip sheepishly tucks away the watch.*

**TRIP:** Alright, alright. Truce. But just wait until you see my “Confetti Cannon Surprise!” (everyone groans and runs)

**EDIE:** NOT AGAIN!

*The camera pans out as they chase Trip, giggling and calling after each other, the day restored to (mostly) normal.*
