A few months pass since Blythe left for her summer junior program, but her dream school is not as exciting as she thought it would be when all the campus talks about is fashion. Meanwhile, aching to see her in person again, the pets come up with a plan to visit Blythe while she is away at fashion camp for the summer.

Mrs. Twombly is inspired to set up a booth for a self-proclaimed pet psychic by the name of Finola, after she demonstrates her mind-reading on the pets by describing their personalities (while getting them entirely wrong). However, her predictions for other customer's pets break the bank for Mrs. Twombly; all her prognoses revolve around the pet wanting a brand of dog food. Meanwhile, the pets suffer while trying to mold themselves into Finola's personality readings, trying to avoid disrupting her partnership with Mrs. Twombly. When Blythe sees what is happening, Finola's pet sugar glider, Sweet Cheeks, may have the answer for Blythe as to what his owner's business really is.

There, the roots of Littlest Pet Shop are uncovered, and the story of Henrietta Twombly is told in the form of flashbacks.

Ramon becomes impressed upon seeing her designs, and decides to steal them by switching her portfolio with his identical one. Blythe notices the replacement, and when she sees her designs being used on every aspect of the parade the next day, she sets off to reclaim ownership of them. Meanwhile, when Vinnie pairs with Zoe to quench his obsession, Bruce the iguana (also voiced by Murdock), he struggles to find a water bottle big enough for Bruce.

After losing a ball while playing catching, Minka and Penny Ling try to retrieve it when it rolls into a natural history museum. Blythe tries to retrieve the two without losing all the other pets, but finds out that the museum disallows animals. She conceals the rest in her bags and backpack, but as she spots the two that were missing, Zoe flees from her bag upon inspection from the museum's security guard. Now with three of the pets missing, Blythe must manage to find them all, eventually losing the rest in the process: Sunil and Vinnie in the taxidermy section, and Russell in a supply closet.

Roger reveals to Blythe that he has just submitted Blythe's pet backpack to Mona Autumn, a critic for the top fashion magazine, Très Blasé. Knowing that Autumn's critiques are notoriously harsh, she starts panicking about her interview, ignoring the pet's problem with a new visitor, Wiggles McSunbask (voiced by Colin Murdock), a juvenile alligator who soon takes over the day camp.
