Plot: Sylvia (Catherine O’Hara) hosts everyone in her private trailer as they try to avoid the thunderstorm. The trailer is small than anticipated and everyone is stepping on everyone else’s toes. There’s just no room for Donald (Eugene Levy) who insists on being there as he believes that’s where the magic happens. All the dogs are placed in one corner and Sylvia does her best to try to separate her precious dog from the rest. As they try to find a place to sit, Timothy (Randy Havens) tries to mate his dog with Julie’s (Maude Apatow). She finds out, but finds it worrying that a man his age doesn’t know that it’s anatomically impossible. Sylvia decides to entertain people by singing one of her original song. She reminds to the camera that she used to be a pop megastar and plugs her albums that nobody even heard of. She even has a fake Grammy to show. Unsurprisingly, she doesn’t sing very well.

As far away from possible in the small trailer, Judge Ross (Crispin Glover) is reading a book and urges Donald to leave him alone. His Uber is almost here and he can’t wait for this to be over. Donald knows a way they can still have an official competition and award points for the GRL and Ross is all ears. He screams over Sylvia’s irritating voice, saying they could do a dog show right here and there and it would count, like it did back in 2000 and it broke the undefeated… Ross interrupts him and tells him to shut, he doesn’t want to do that, he just want to get out of here, but it’s too late, everybody heard. It looks like the winner is going to be the Best in Show and not the fastest on the track!

An exasperated Ross reads the rules and since they need a backup judge, Donald will be step up from behind the camera and he can’t contain his excitement. Sylvia has never done this before and overdresses her dog with a tutu and nail polish. Timothy is already at a disadvantage because he can’t even put the leash on his dog. Julia is still getting used to know the capricious Bolt, which leaves Buddy with as the favorite. Ross inspects the dogs, but doesn’t do anything different than he used to do, but Donald is meticulous. It’s now time for the promenade, which doesn’t go according to plan. Donald drags this up, which angers Ross. In the end, Buddy is the unsurprising winner, meaning they could have just give him the title before the start. Buddy is ecstatic as it’s his first GRL win. He hugs Donald who then says that he too, will remember this day forever. An irritated Ross looks outside by the window and finds out the track has dried up and he sneaks out before anyone realises.
