Cleveland finds out about a father-daughter dance, the Daddy-Daughter Dinner Dance, and tries to coax his new step-daughter Roberta into going with him. She is at first annoyed and unwilling to go, but eventually accepts when he buys her a set of diamond earrings. Cleveland decides to buy a cake to celebrate. As he backs out of the driveway, he accidentally runs over the family dog. In an attempt to keep this a secret, Cleveland allows his neighbor Lester to dispose of the body. Lester later eats the dog. Cleveland realizes that he has to tell his family. They are shocked and angry; Roberta refuses to go to the dance with her step-dad, and instead wants to go with her father Robert. Cleveland finds out that Robert has bailed out on Roberta, so he goes to the dance anyways to be there for Roberta.

Seeing that the pilot was somewhat mediocre,there was only room for major improvement on the writers behalf.For an animated comedy,there weren’t too many jokes, running over a child’s dog is not funny, and having the neighbor eating it was really a bad idea.The most memorable scene was when Rallo told Cleveland:

“You can’t just replace my dog like Brad Pitt replaced Jennifer Aniston, or John Mayer replaced Jennifer Aniston, or Vince Vaughn replaced Jennifer Aniston,”
