Ep 15. Avery's First Crush

Avery is a bright and confident teenager who has always been focused on her academics and extracurricular activities. However, when she starts developing feelings for a boy at school, everything changes. In "Avery's First Crush," the fifteenth episode of the first season of Dog with a Blog, viewers get to see how Avery navigates the tricky waters of her first crush.

As the episode begins, Avery and her best friend Lindsay are eating lunch in the school cafeteria. Lindsay notices that Avery keeps glancing over at a boy named Dustin, who happens to be sitting at a nearby table. Lindsay immediately senses that something is up, and begins to interrogate Avery about her feelings for Dustin. At first, Avery tries to play it cool, insisting that she's not interested in him in that way. But Lindsay sees right through Avery's act, and encourages her to take a chance and ask Dustin to the school dance.

Despite Lindsay's urging, Avery is hesitant to make a move. She's worried about what Dustin will think of her, and is afraid of getting rejected. In an effort to boost Avery's confidence, Lindsay suggests that they go shopping together to find the perfect dress for the dance. As they browse through the mall, Lindsay continues to push Avery to talk to Dustin, but Avery remains uncertain.

Back at home, Avery's family starts to take notice of her strange behavior. Tyler, her older brother, teases her for acting weird around Dustin, while their parents Ellen and Bennett try to get to the bottom of what's going on. When Avery finally confesses that she has a crush on Dustin, her family is supportive but also a little bit surprised. After all, Avery has always been the type to focus on her studies and her blog, rather than boys.

With her family behind her, Avery decides to take the plunge and ask Dustin to the dance. She's incredibly nervous, but takes a deep breath and approaches him while they're both hanging out after school. The conversation is a bit awkward at first, but Avery manages to get through it and ask Dustin if he wants to go to the dance with her. To her surprise, he says yes!

Over the next few days, Avery is over the moon. She spends all her time daydreaming about the dance and her outfit, and even makes plans to go out to dinner with Dustin beforehand. But as the day of the dance draws nearer, Avery starts to realize that she's put too much pressure on this one event. She's afraid of disappointing everyone if the dance doesn't turn out to be perfect, and is worried that she and Dustin won't have anything to talk about.

As she's getting ready for the dance, Avery confides in her stepbrother Stan. Stan, who is secretly a talking dog, listens patiently as Avery expresses her fears. He reminds her that it's okay to be nervous, and that the most important thing is to have fun. With Stan's words of wisdom ringing in her ears, Avery heads off to the dance.

At the dance, Avery and Dustin have a great time together. They dance together, laugh, and share stories about their lives. Avery is relieved to discover that there's no pressure to be perfect, and that she can just enjoy being with Dustin. When it's time to go home, Avery is glowing with happiness. She's had a great time, and is excited to see where things will go with Dustin in the future.

Overall, "Avery's First Crush" is a sweet and heartwarming episode of Dog with a Blog. It shows the trials and tribulations of growing up and navigating first loves, but also emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and having fun. Viewers of all ages will enjoy watching Avery as she takes her first steps into the world of dating, and will be rooting for her as she moves forward.
