S1, E304: Curse of the Were-Dog: It’s night-time and the full moon and the alignment of the planets are having a strange effect on Odie. He turns into a monster as soon as the sky is clear and wreaks havoc in Jon's house. The living room is a wreck, and the dish of lasagna has disappeared. Of course, Jon immediately thinks Garfield is behind all this, until he discovers on the news that his dog Odie might be the real culprit. To get to the bottom of it all, he goes to see the professor who first noticed the planet movements above. When they meet, the professor reassures him; the planets will only stay aligned for a while, then everything should go back to normal. Unless… / Meet the parents: It’s D day! Jon is finally going to meet Liz’s parents, Robert and Betty. Everything has to be perfect, starting with Odie and Garfield, who seem determined to mess things up for him. Liz’s parents arrive and there’s a bit of an atmosphere. Until Betty brings out her little canary, Mimosa. Garfield starts drooling; the canary would make a great appetizer. He quickly realizes that Mimosa feels trapped and wants to escape from Betty, whose attention is smothering him. The bedroom window is open and it’s the opportunity he’s been dreaming of, so Mimosa flies away. Betty feels desperate; she has lost her darling little bird. It’s all Garfield’s fault, but then again, some people are more than happy to see the back of the bothersome bird.
