Ep 9. Son of Bunnicula

Bunnicula season 1 episode 9, "Son of Bunnicula," follows the antics of the household pets, including the titular vampire bunny Bunnicula, Chester the paranoid cat, and Harold the lovable and easily-distracted dog. In this episode, Bunnicula's mischief-making leads to the creation of a mini Bunnicula, a tiny version of himself with all of his supernatural powers. While Bunnicula is thrilled to have a son and tries to teach him the ways of the world, Chester is convinced that the mini Bunnicula is up to no good and is determined to get rid of him.

As the episode begins, the pets are lounging around the house, with Bunnicula trying to teach Harold some vampire tricks (much to Chester's chagrin). But when Bunnicula accidentally knocks over a bottle of what he thinks is hair tonic, he inadvertently creates a mini version of himself. The mini Bunnicula is adorable and eager to learn, but Chester is immediately suspicious. He tries to convince the other pets that the mini Bunnicula is evil and must be destroyed, but they are too enamored with the little guy to listen.

As the day progresses, Bunnicula tries to teach his son how to fly and how to hypnotize people. The mini Bunnicula is a quick learner and soon proves himself to be a powerful asset to the group. But Chester is still convinced that the mini Bunnicula is up to something, and he sets out to prove it. He follows the mini Bunnicula around the house, watching his every move and waiting for him to slip up.

Meanwhile, Harold is having his own troubles. He has promised to help the little girl who lives in the house with her lemonade stand, but he keeps getting distracted by Bunnicula and his son. He tries to juggle both responsibilities, but things quickly get out of hand when the mini Bunnicula accidentally hypnotizes him and he forgets all about the lemonade stand.

As the episode nears its climax, Chester's worst fears seem to be coming true. He catches the mini Bunnicula in the act of doing something nefarious and he rushes to tell the other pets. But when he confronts the mini Bunnicula, he realizes that he's been wrong all along. The little bunny wasn't up to anything malicious - he was just trying to impress his father. Chester apologizes for his actions and the pets all make up.

In the end, the mini Bunnicula decides that he wants to stay with his dad. Bunnicula is overjoyed and promises to teach him everything he knows. The rest of the pets are happy to have a new member of the family, and they all settle back into their normal routines. As the episode ends, Bunnicula and his son are seen flying off into the night sky together, with Chester and Harold following close behind.
