"Balancing Act" is the forty-first episode of 101 Dalmatian Street and the first part of the twenty-first episode of the Disney+ release.
The episode originally aired in Belgium on January 23, 2020, and then in the UK and Ireland on February 6, 2020.[1]
Plot[]
Dolly ruins Doug's face on the Dalmatians' family portrait after skateboarding in the house. However, Delilah believes the accident was purposefully caused by Dylan who is vacuuming near the portrait and sucking up the ripped photo. Later, Dolly shows off her parkour skills and ends up stuck on a large box (which was planned to serve as Constantin's new meditation chamber) hanging over the backyard of 99 Dalmatian Street. She initially panics and scampers around the box, causing the crane to smash the box into both 99 and 103 Dalmatian Street. This damages the properties and gets the attention of Constantin and Clarissa; the former rushes to alert PC Pearl, while the latter tempts Dolly, causing her to anxiously move more. Dolly eventually calms down, while Dylan tries think of a way to get her down. DJ plays calming music for Dolly, but this results in Dolly dozing off, slipping off of the box. Dawkins asserts that an equal amount of weight must occupy the opposite side of the box, prompting Dylan to jump to action. After Dolly confesses that she ruined the family portrait to Dylan, the box is lowered down. When Doug questions the absence of his face on the photo, Dolly smugly denies having caused the accident, much to Dylan's annoyance.
