Story
Peter's barber Jerry has died, and Peter refuses to see another, letting his hair grow until it can grip things. After a chase involving Brian, Joe and other officers, Brian is picked up from a drunken stupor and his microchip scanned. It shows that he once belonged to the Hendersons, a richer and cleverer household. Brian moves in with them, then regrets it: Mr Henderson, voiced by Cary Elwes, and Mrs Henderson, voiced by Judy Greer, treat him as a pet. Peter breaks in and beats them to reclaim him. At Peter's trial a jury of Patrick Swayze clones acquits him.
