Margaret's Birthday Party

Margaret's Birthday Party is the one hundred and third episode from Season 1.

Plot
It's Margaret's birthday, and she and her mother are setting up her party. After Margaret, who's wearing a white tutu, placed paper cups on the table, Mrs. Wade was bringing the paper plates over. Once the doorbell rings, Mrs. Wade drops the plates, which fortunately don't break due to being made of paper.

Margaret answers the door to see it was Joey with a present, which he gives away that it's just bubble bath that Mrs. McDonald picked out. Joey then explains that the rest of the guests are at a football game. At this moment, almost all the other guests (Jay, Gina, and PeeBee included) arrive, talking about the football game they'd finished.

Once they push Margaret aside, causing her to land on the present Joey gave her, Margaret gets up and explains she's wearing a tutu to perform ballet for the afternoon's entertainment. Jay jokes that it's called a tutu because it's "too-too boring". Just as Margaret wonders where Dennis is, Ruff arrives, pounces on her, and licks her, meaning that Dennis has arrived.

Dennis orders Ruff to stop licking Margaret, and Margaret orders Ruff out because he's not invited to her party. Dennis gives Margaret a present and explains why everyone's mad at him; He caused his football team to lose, by missing the easiest catch in football history. Nevertheless, Margaret starts her party.

Margaret starts off by performing her ballet dance to her guests, to which everyone laughs. Dennis jokes to Joey that the dance is called "The Death of the Dying Yawn". Dennis knew just what to do to liven up the party. He takes his frog Willy out of his tux, lets him loose, and Willy jumps toward Margaret, causing her to scream in disgust while performing her dance.

This gives Jay the chance to take out the record and play some real music. He throws the classical music record over the fence where Ruff was, and Ruff buries the record. Jay replaces the classical record with a record that plays smooth jazz-like music, to which everyone dances to. Margaret, angry that her dance was interrupted, takes her anger out on Dennis and orders him to remove Willy.

Willy continues to wreak havoc at Margaret's party, gives Mrs. Wade a fright, and jumps over the table. Everyone tries to get Willy, only for the table to get ruined. Mrs. Wade was shocked that her table was ruined, she didn't notice until too late, the frankfurts were ruined. Margaret says the hot dogs aren't fit for a dog, so she throws one, not knowing that Ruff took a liking to the frankfurt.

After the guests demand lunch, Mrs. Wade is thankful there's still cake. While the guests sing "Happy Birthday" to Margaret, Mrs. Wade comes out with the cake, sees Willy, nearly loses the cake, only for Ruff to dig back into Margaret's backyard and break Mrs. Wade's fall. The cake flies out of Mrs. Wade's hand and Dennis catches it.

Margaret shows gratitude to Dennis for saving her cake, apologizes to Ruff for telling him to leave, and Ruff tackles her, causing the cake to fly off and land on Dennis' face. Dennis says he "really caught it", prompting everyone to laugh.
