Simon is taking Jess out for a birthday dinner, so Gramps is on babysitting duty. He's brought along Mr Willow's dogs, Trevor and Violet, for the evening. They look just like Waffle, and during a game of hide-and-sing the dogs all hide next door, causing confusion and chaos for poor Mrs Hobbs!

Waffle learns that the summer holidays will soon be over and Evie will be going to school. Determined not to be left alone, Waffle hatches a plan to keep the family at home.

Miss Berrington, Evie's new school teacher, and teaching assistant Mr O'Donnell have come to meet Evie at home before term starts, and Waffle is under strict instructions to be on his best behaviour. But Waffle is teething and won't stop chewing everything in sight.
