Synopsis[]

Ryan betrays Wilfred’s trust to gain favor with Jenna, but his deception yields an unexpected secret about her.

Plot[]

Ryan Newman is in his yard, when Wilfred busts through the fence into Ryan's yard. Wilfred talks to Ryan about loyalty, while Ryan tries to find out more about Jenna. Wilfred implies that Ryan isn't a trustful person, so Ryan takes Wilfred to a beach that doesn't allow dogs to prove his loyalty. Ryan winds up getting a ticket when Wilfred causes havoc on the beach, and discovers his wallet is missing. Wilfred apologies to Ryan for being wrong about his loyalty. When Ryan takes Wilfred back to Jenna's house, Jenna remarks out how much Wilfred seems to trust Ryan, so she asks Ryan if he will take Wilfred to the vet to get his teeth cleaned. Ryan agrees to take him to try to impress Jenna, and lies to Wilfred, saying that they are going to the movies.

While under anesthesia at the vet, Wilfred tells Ryan that Jenna likes Ryan, but says she can't be him. When Ryan tries to find out why, Wilfred passes out while saying "Jenna has a dick...". Jenna has dinner with Ryan when she comes to pick him up that night, and Ryan starts trying to figure out if she has a penis. Jenna ultimately gets unnerved, and leaves early. Wilfred tells Ryan that he keeps pushing people away, and that he needs to seize the moment, and to go tell Jenna that he has feelings for her. Ryan goes to her house with flowers, and apologies for being weird, and when he is about to confess feelings for her, her boyfriend Drew comes out, and introduces himself to Ryan. Jenna and Drew go back inside and Ryan leaves, and Wilfred tells Ryan that he meant to say "Jenna has a dick for a boyfriend", and suggests that he lied as payback for Ryan betraying his trust, before going inside Jenna's house.
