Episode 7 (1x7)

Air date: Aug 27, 2011

Ally is deeply shocked and the future of the chatroom thrown into uncertainty when her father complains about her phone bills and threatens to confiscate her mobile. Desperate for money to pay her debts, Ally jumps at the chance of a dog-walking job for Ms Hoffman, a neighbour of Emma’s in Germany. Things start well and Ally earns good money. But the reality of crossing time zones daily inevitably hits home and it’s not too long before Ally becomes seriously fatigued. In an effort to be more productive she takes on five more dogs, hoping to earn more money in less time. This appears to be the perfect solution until Fidus, Ms Hoffman’s prized dog, escapes when an exhausted Ally briefly dozes off. Emma and Jackie are called to help track down the escapee which – to Ally’s horror – leaves a trail of destruction as it races through the city. Unable to find Fidus, the girls realise they have no option but to tell Ms Hoffman the horrible truth. What’s more, Ally still hasn’t found a way to pay her phone bill and the girls are falling way behind with their dance practice. Somehow or other, they need a miracle. Or perhaps two!
