Blythe Baxter, a young fashion designer, moves to the city with her dad and stumbles upon Littlest Pet Shop - a pet store catering to all kinds of animals, big or small. Not only that, but she discovers that she has a unique ability to talk to the pets, and they can talk back.
In this first episode, Blythe develops a crush on Josh Sharp, the cute guy in her school who loves animals just as much as she does. However, her attempts to impress him fall short when her classmate, Brittany and her clique of fashionistas, take advantage of Blythe's kindness and make fun of her clothes.
Meanwhile, the littlest pet shop pets, including Zoe the glamor puss cat, Pepper the skunk, Sunil the mongoose, Vinnie the gecko, and Russell the hedgehog, are worried about their secret getting out to the humans. They go to great lengths to prevent humans from finding out that they can talk, and that they are more than just ordinary pets.
Blythe and the pets eventually cross paths, and they realize they can communicate with each other. They strike up an alliance to help each other out. Zoe wants to help Blythe with her crush by giving her fashion advice, while Pepper has an idea that could put Brittany and her clique in their place.
As Blythe's crush on Josh intensifies, the stakes become higher. Blythe needs to come up with a plan to get Josh's attention before Brittany beats her to it. Blythe turns to Zoe for help, but Zoe suggests going with a different approach - ditching her plain clothes for a bold and quirky style that's more her personality.
In the end, Blythe decides to give it a go and adopts Zoe's quirky fashion choices. She is nervous about walking into school dressed differently, but she goes for it anyway. Josh is impressed by her confidence and notices her changes right away. While he compliments her new look, Blythe realizes that Josh likes her for who she is and not what she wears.
Meanwhile, Pepper's revenge plan comes to fruition, embarrassing Brittany and her clique. The littlest pet shop pets steal the show and prove that they're more than just pets.
The episode closes with Blythe and the pets sharing their secret about being able to talk to each other. They vow to keep it between themselves and go about their business as usual. The first episode sets up a premise for the series - Blythe's friendship with the littlest pet shop pets, their adventures together, and their secret lives that they share with each other.
