The Cook-Off

Crochet Surprise Dash has promised to visit his Auntie Ratchet out in the countryside. Assuming the stay will be boring, he's not looking forward to it. Once he gets there his car breaks down. Aunt Ratchet invites him in for tea and offers to teach him to crochet (yawn) and invites him see her collection (double yawn). But Dash soon learns that his aunt is much more interesting than he imagined. Her collection turns out to be a wall of trophies for racing-related inventions! Plus, Auntie Ratchet crochets a mean fan-belt out of steel wool, fixing Dash's car in the nick of time. This is no ordinary Auntie - and Dash learns he shouldn't have assumed otherwise! Star Attraction Racerville is buzzing with excitement when famous movie star Rock Rally comes to town to shoot his new movie. Rock befriends a star-struck Dash, convincing him to be his secret driving double! All's well until Dash realizes that Rock is taking all the credit for Dash's amazing driving. Finally, when Rock does take the wheel for himself, Dash is disappointed to learn that his hero Rock can barely drive a car at all! Zanner, the Turbo Dogs' biggest fan, explains that he knew Dash's driving double secret all along - Rock Rally is a great actor, not a great racer - different dogs are good at different things!

Strut Delivers

The Cook Off When Cam announces a cooking competition, all the Turbo Dogs are enthusiastic including (to everyone's surprise) Stinkbert. The other Turbo Dogs are perplexed, as Stinkbert has a predilection for leftovers and garbage. Their surprise leads Stinkbert to doubt himself, and he consults a fancy recipe book to create something for the competition, adding ingredients that he enjoys - like a rotting shoe. The other Turbo Dogs are not exactly supportive of his endeavours, and a dejected Stinkbert decides to bow out of the competition. But Five steps in and advises Stinkbert to cook what he knows and loves. Five also explains to the other Turbo Dogs that everyone has their own taste in food, and that even though they may not find Stinkbert's food appealing, other dogs might. Stinkbert - bolstered by Five's encouragement - comes up with a great dish all his own! Strut Delivers The Turbo Dogs all pitch in to plan and arrange a party for the unveiling of a statue of Racerville's founder. All of them, that is, except Strut. He has grudgingly volunteered for the task of delivering all the invitations, but is too busy loafing around and putting it off. After the dogs reminds him that everyone is counting on him to deliver the invitations, he realises that he needs to step up to his responsibilities. He gets them delivered just in time, and it doesn't matter that he is too exhausted from delivering the invitations to race when there's cake to be had!

Extreme Star Power: Benny McBarkerton arrives at the Racerville Speedway looking for drivers to feature on his Extreme Fur-bo Racing television show.

Strut doesn't even get to complete the course, and the dogs are sympathetic, insisting that the race be done over. Strut feels so terrible in the face of their loyalty that he confesses everything, and even ends up on television after all - on Benny's bloopers show. Mystery Racer: Ump announces that a racing legend is going to be visiting, and participating in the upcoming exhibition race. All the dogs are abuzz, wondering who the surprise guest will be. While the other dogs practice, Strut spends all his time skulking around town trying to gather clues about the mystery guest, so he can find out about the mystery guest's weaknesses. When the other dogs try to share driving tips from Marlene, Strut is completely dismissive. Indeed, he is positively gleeful when the mystery guest turns out to be Marlene, as he is completely dismissive of her! But during the exhibition race, he notices that the dogs' driving has improved a great deal, and when Marlene beats him in the race he realises that he still has a lot to learn.

Everyone's a Winner

Race for Treasure While desperately scrounging for old car parts to fix up cars for Racerville's annual antique car show, Stinkbert chances upon one half of a treasure map while GT finds the other half. They each excitedly discuss their finds with other dogs: Stinkbert confides in Strut, while GT tells Dash. The two groups surreptitiously go on their own treasure hunts. They continuously cross paths during their race to find the treasure and realize that it would have been faster and easier to work together. When the treasure turns out to be antique car parts, they happily decide to work together to restore their antique car in time for the big antique car show. Everyone's a Winner After too many near wins at the racetrack Stinkbert is discouraged and decides to quit racing for good! The other dogs try their best to convince him not to give up, but he has made up his mind. It is clear, however, that Stinkbert doesn't quite have racing out of his system. He subconsciously builds a racetrack at the dump, "drives" his pizza as if it were a steering wheel, and soups up the Racerville race track lawn mower in true Turbo dog style. When he shows up at the track with his modified lawn mower, everyone cheers - Stinkbert is back! He realises that doing what you love has its own rewards - and that winning isn't everything. You can take the stink out of racing, but you can't take the racing out of Stinky!

What a Lulu! Mags has a terrific offer - to be featured on the hit television show Extreme Driving of the Fast and Furry! But she has to go out of town to be filmed for the show. The only thing standing between her and Fast and Furry stardom is Lulu - her pet hamster. Dash generously agrees to take care of Lulu while Mags goes out of town. Even though he doesn't know the first thing about caring for hamsters. "How hard could it be?" he glibly asks. Thinking this new responsibility to be easy, Dash doesn't pay attention while Mags explains the various instructions regarding Lulu's care. Mags leaves town and Dash neglects his pet care duties, culminating in Lulu climbing out of her cage. Realizing that Lulu is lost and fearing the worst, Dash quickly learns that being responsible means doing one's best to keep one's promises. Can't Do It All When Five announces that he is celebrating his five year anniversary of the Dog Gone Pizzeria, Mags has an idea: The Turbo Dogs should throw Five a surprise party at their clubhouse. All the Turbo Dogs think that this is a terrific idea and all volunteer to do various tasks in preparation. But Mags is all enthusiasm, and gleefully sets about planning and arranging the entire party utterly by herself - refusing any help. When she gets overwhelmed, Mags realises that she DOES need help. Of course all the Turbo Dogs pitch in. By working as a team the friends' party for Five is a smashing success!

He rushes in just before the piÃ±ata is burst, and explains that he had played a trick. He apologises for jumping to conclusions - and the dogs recommence with the festivities, together!

Ever since their parents died a few years ago, Ryo and his sister Akane have been living alone together. Despite their difficult situation, they are still living reasonably happy and normal lives. However, everything is about to be flipped upside-down due to a secret government project. Due to increasingly low birth rates in Japan, the Japanese government is testing a program in which two young people are forced to marry. Ryo wants no part of it, but he is given little choice in the matter; his new fiancée, Shizuka, comes to his home late one night with several dozen government issued bodyguards, who are there to ensure the success of the new couple. Unlike Ryo, Shizuka couldn't be more willing to go along with this new program, and eagerly goes about her wifely duties, despite his objections. With meddling friends, pushy bodyguards, and an overenthusiastic new fiancée, Ryo's life has taken a turn in a direction the young man certainly didn't expect.
