Synopsis[]

It's D day! Jon is finally going to meet Liz's parents, Robert and Betty. Everything has to be perfect, starting with Odie and Garfield, who seem determined to mess things up for him. Liz's parents arrive and there's a bit of an atmosphere. Until Betty brings out her little canary, Mimosa. Garfield starts drooling; the canary would make a great appetizer.

Plot[]

Jon gets the house ready to meet Liz's parents, Betty and Robert. Jon wants Garfield and Odie to be well-behaved while they visit, promising them a reward if they do so. Garfield starts sabotaging Odie's efforts to be clean and well-behaved, so he can have the reward to himself.

Sometime later, the Wilsons arrive at the house. Jon begins having an awkward conversation with Robert, leading to a bad start for their relationship. Betty then introduces Jon, Garfield, and Odie to her canary, Petey. Garfield decides to eat Petey; to his shock, Petey seems to actually want to be eaten.

Every time Garfield tries to avoid eating Petey, Jon gives him a warning when it seems that he is doing so. Garfield goes upstairs to take a nap, only for Petey to arrive and then fly out of an open window. Garfield tries to go after Petey and convince him to stay with Betty, but Petey tells him that he would like to be free instead of being smothered by her.

Petey flies away, leaving Betty heartbroken. While Liz tries to comfort Betty, Robert tells Jon to be honest that he hated him when he saw and met Jon. After what Garfield did, it was a miracle. Petey was the bane of his existence and tried to get rid of him for ages. Robert is therefore happy to have Petey gone for good. Jon earns Robert's respect, and Garfield earns his reward.
