Mommy Dearest (O&C)

Mommy Dearest is the first episode of Oliver & Company: The Series's second season.

Plot
The episode begins with Dodger in Central Park playing with Fagin. As he runs, Dodger notices a Rottweiler menacing another dog, and he chases him away. The other dog introduces herself to Dodger as Tess, who asks her if she would like to come back to his home. Tess later claims she recognizes Dodger from somewhere but can't remember.

When Dodger and Tess return to the houseboat, she hits it off with the other gang members, especially Rita. When the two get some alone time, Dodger asks Tess how she recognizes him, before flippantly stating "It's not as if you could be my mom or something."
