Punky Brewster - S04E16 - Bad Dog.

Punky and the gang want to know why Brandon is acting so strange then Brandon is accused of biting a new neighbor, Ms. Jenner (Sandra Kerns), which is something Brandon has never done to anyone before. As a result, Ms. Jenner wants Brandon to be put to sleep (euthanized), so Brandon is taken to an animal shelter for a 10-day quarantine. While Brandon is at the shelter, Betty notices that Ms. Jenner’s daughter Leslie (Heather Hopper) has a black eye, and Henry and Betty confront her about it. Ms. Jenner admits that she has two jobs so she can make enough money for her and Leslie to live on, and that the stress of having two jobs gets to her so much sometimes that she finds herself taking it out on Leslie, who is always the only one there. Brandon has been acting strange because he’s been hearing the screaming that’s been coming from Ms. Jenner’s apartment, which is above Punky’s and Henry’s apartment, and Brandon bit Ms. Jenner to protect Leslie from her. Betty offers Ms. Jenner a place in a group called Parents Anonymous so she can get the help she needs. Ms. Jenner accepts the offer, and she decides that she does not want Brandon to be put to sleep. Leslie in turn will move in with an aunt for a little while, as she and her mother have some things to work out, while Brandon is released back to Punky and Henry.
