I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato
Charlie has to make lunch for Lola, but she's a very picky eater and refuses to eat carrots, peas, mashed potatoes, fish sticks and her least favourite food - tomatoes (although she has never tried these foods before). So Charlie tricks Lola into eating the foods she "hates" by changing their names: Carrots to "Orange Twiglets from Outer Space", Peas to "Green Drops from Green Land", Mashed Potatoes to "Cloud Fluff", and Fish Sticks to "Ocean Nibbles from under the sea". Lola finally learns to love tomatoes when she sees a bowl of them and thinks they're "Moon Squirters."

At the park, the two girls persuade Marv to leave Sizzles under their care while he and Charlie go play soccer. However, when they finally get their wish, Lola and Lotta accidentally detach Sizzles from his leash (despite Marv telling them never to do so) while fighting over who's in charge, and he goes missing. When the duo finally find the dog, they also see one that looks just like him, and can't tell them apart.
