After Bull has harassed everyone in the neighborhood, he challenges Heathcliff to a fight in the vacant lot on Elm Street and guess who wins? Who else, Heathcliff!

Heathcliff hears Iggy saying how wonderful it is to have a pet, and decides he should have a pet too. He tries out Spike and Mungo, but they do not make good pets at all.
