The best thing about this episode is Freeway...and Max to a lesser degree. The bad guys plot is not really clear. At first it's like they're making an addictive dog food so once the dog is hooked, he'll attack his owner to get it and won't eat anything else. So it seems the only motive is supposed to be money, (although in reality, people would probably get rid of their dog if it did that.)
Max takes Freeway in the park and they end up participating in a tryout for a dog food commercial. He doesn't believe Freeway will touch it because Max makes him a homemade dinner, but Freeway gobbles it down. Max also gets several sample cans of the food as well as of course, winning a spot in the commercial. So you wonder: is Freeway going to snap at the Harts or Max? Freeway never does that, but he won't touch even Max's special, homemade dinner after they run out of the canned food. He's also acting very lethargic. The Harts eventually meet up with the bad guys as the company is (of course) one of theirs. The woman is just weird and you wonder what steroids she's taking as she seems really aggressive and wants to get Jonathan in a "clinch." The guy is in a wheel chair, insinuating that an accident with the woman put him there. There's also a marketing man who is involved until he finds out that they plan to create people food also and after he wants out; they kill him before he can warn the Harts.
Meanwhile the Harts host a party. Stanley Friesen (the stereotypical accountant) is now a semi-regular. He and a couple of other guests bring out what they think is pate from the kitchen, but it's actually the dog food. They can't seem to get enough and their behavior confirms the Harts' suspicions of the dog food affecting Freeway's personality. The rest is the typical formulaic getting the bad guys and foiling their plot. But this is hardly the world takeover using people's pets, which is where it sounded like it was going in the beginning.
