While Cruella DeVil felt like laughing her most wicked cackle from the rooftops, Kim had suddenly felt the need to cry her eyes out, no matter how hard it rained outside. Of course, Miss DeVil knew that with Kim still around the vicinity of 'Give a Dog Another Chance at a Home', where not even Ray's employee and closest friend, Brad, could help the poor chocolate brunette feel any better about her blond boyfriend having been arrested, the devil woman would have had to put up another solemn front for the sake of keeping in her probation officer's good graces. Kim stepped out of the dog shelter with tears in her eyes. As Cruella approached Kim, she readied her most solemn face to present to the poor chocolate brunette.

Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: Don't be too hard on yourself, dear. We were both fooled.

Of course, Kim naturally bought into what Cruella sold to her by that point, particularly since her formerly confident resolve had recently since become just slightly shook up by the knowledge of her handsome new boyfriend's previous dognapping record.

Kimberly 'Kim/Kimmy' Sefton: I'm so sorry, Miss DeVil. I had no idea that Ray was a_ Th-that I let myself trust him.

Meanwhile, Cruella's dog, Carlisle, and her cat, Harriette, clearly knew that Kim needed to have known better than to trust their so-called human pet, Miss DeVil.

Carlisle: This woman doesn't even know that our pet, herself, can't be trusted.

Harriette: Well, Carlisle, I suppose that some truths will just have to be learnt of the hard way.

Miss DeVil, of course, was more than happy to play the part of still having been rehabilitated just as she needed to in order to hold onto her freedom from the slammer, where she had wanted to remain for the rest of her 'supposedly' natural born life.

Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: This is all so very dreadful. You need distraction, darling. I've booked myself to see a hypnotist show tonight. Why don't you join me? It'll be such a treat, darling. Oh, do come. Remember, my dear. You, at least, have a friend or two to live for, along with your doggies.

As Kim pondered Cruella's invitation, Carlisle and Harriette tried in vain to tell the chocolate brunette that it would have been a mistake to trust a woman such as their shared so-called human pet.

Carlisle: Don't trust this woman, Kim. You're smarter than that. You should've trusted and stood by your man, not Miss DeVil.

Harriette: Give it up, Carlisle. The words out of our mouths fall onto deaf ears when it comes to human ears. They can never understand us, remember?

Of course, Kim just nodded as the chocolate brunette accepted Cruella's invitation to view the hypnotist show with the devil woman.

Cruella 'Ella' DeVil/Estella von Hellman: Smashing!

With that heavy in their minds, Cruella and Kim both headed back to their homes to get ready for the hypnotist show. The chocolate brunette, however, was about to be caught unaware that the hypnotist show was just another part of Miss DeVil's heartless dognapping plans.
