Summary
The latest episode of Bolt's TV show sees a distinguished canine actor appear as a guest star. Unlike the little white shepherd, she's an experienced thespian who takes her craft seriously as opposed to a natural actor relying on innate ability. A serious misunderstanding between the two leads to significant conflict both on and off screen, as well as one of the program's most memorable episodes. A pre-canon story set just before the film begins, one where Bolt has nearly reached the level of extreme, aberrant paranoia seen during the first half of the movie. Primary cultural references include songs by Simon and Garfunkel, as well as the films "Oliver and Company," "The Miracle Worker," "Finding Nemo," "Sleeper," and "Godzilla," the TV shows "Leave It to Beaver" and "My Little Pony," the characters Samson and Delilah from the Bible, classical music by Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, and pop music selections by Wire, Talking Heads, Joni Mitchell, the Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan.

Eliot, Felicia Dorothea Hemans, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Homer, William Blake, Elizabeth Bishop, Sylvia Plath, and Lewis Carroll, as well as "Robin Hood," the TV show "Star Trek," and musical allusions to The Doors, Elvis Presley/Big Mama Thornton, The Beatles, America, and Jefferson Airplane.
