It's the eve of Waffle's first Christmas with the Brooklyn-Bells. Mrs Hobbs is invited, and Gramps has knitted a Christmas jumper. Waffle learns about Santa and really wants to meet him.

The Brooklyn-Bells are on holiday with Gramps, so Waffle is staying at Angela’s dog kennels for a couple of nights. During a face-to-face call with Waffle, the Brooklyn-Bells check their wonder dog is settling in and ensure he has his favourite snuggly toy with him, PegStar. Angela tries to settle Waffle but he whines, he’s missing his Brooklyn-Bell family and looks at their photo on the wall of his kennel. Angela resorts to calling the Brooklyn-Bells and explains that when dogs are very disruptive, she expects their owners, or someone they know, to pick them up. Jess has an idea – there’s someone who might be able to pick Waffle up in the morning - Mrs Hobbs!

Waffle is at Mrs Hobbs’ house until the Brooklyn-Bells return from holiday. He acts like a cat to please her and helpfully washes up his bowl, but accidentally leaves the taps on.

It's early in the morning after the Brooklyn-Bells have returned from holiday and there's someone banging on their front door. It's Mrs Hobbs and she's furious. Waffle left Mrs Hobbs' kitchen taps running and now her home is flooded and there's water pouring out of her front door! But Jess and Simon will be Mrs Hobbs' "knights in shining armour" - Sir Jess and Sir Simon - Brooklyn-Bells to the rescue!

It's the morning of Evie's first day at school and the Brooklyn-Bells are on schedule. But Waffle isn't happy as he is expecting his usual morning walkies. Doug tells Waffle that Gramps will be walking him today; he'll be coming to the house later. Waffle is insistent, he wants to walk to school with the rest of the family…now! Evie thinks it's a great idea. She's nervous about starting Reception and walking to school with Waffle will make her feel happy.

Mrs Hobbs supervises Waffle at the Brooklyn-Bell house. Waffle wants to join Evie at school and tries to escape. Later, the family look at photos and Evie asks about her birth dad.

Vet Jess and Waffle visit the kennels to check on Waffle’s new friend, Pepper, who is sad. Waffle helps to find out the reason why - snuggly toy PegStar is broken.

Waffle, Jess, Gramps and Angela help Pepper find a new owner by making a leaflet. Waffle tries to help Mrs Hobbs, too, but causes chaos. Waffle hopes Mrs Hobbs will adopt Pepper.

Doug wants to be in the school show, so he makes his own music kit and invites Mrs Hobbs to play the drums. Simon and Waffle play percussion and Doug dances to a song they compose.

Waffle, Simon, Doug, Evie and Ruby do a sponsored silence to raise money for the school. It’s not much fun, so Mrs Hobbs suggests they do a jigsaw. Waffle finds the missing piece.

The Brooklyn-Bells take Waffle to school to ask if he can visit class. When headteacher Mr Nolan says no, Waffle goes missing - he’s determined to prove he’s ready for school!
