It Takes Two[]
In "It Takes Two, Rafa goes to see Malibu and Brooklyn in anticipation of their acceptance notifications for Handler Arts Academy's fall semester. Rafa brings Gato with him. The next day, Malibu and Brooklyn perform for their parents. Rafa dances in the background of the performance, but Gato starts running around, so Rafa has to chase him.
In "Cut It Out", Rafa says that Gato really wants to have a playdate with Brooklyn's cat Etta.
In "Studio Sleuths", Lyla brings a dog named Guinevere to Blown Speaker Studios to help artists to feel less stressed. Gato steals many things from around the studio. He gets caught stealing something, so everyone follows him. He leads them to Guinevere, who is sitting on the pile of stolen objects. Gato rub their noses together, so everyone sees Gato stole the objects as gifts for Guinevere.
In "Team No Screens", Rafa and his friends try to spend 24 hours without their phones. Rafa wants to walk Gato and says Gato needs new smells every day or he will be grouchy. Stefan can attest to this since he has dog-sat Gato before. Rafa take Gato for a walk in Central Park, and Gato chases some squirrels. Rafa and his friends go camping and bring Gato. Gato once again chases some squirrels after they steal everyone's food. After Rafa spends the day frustrated because he's not used to camping, he takes a cab back to the city with Gato.
In "Buddy's Is Booming", Rafa has been contacted a lot about The Barbies. Rafa tries to prove it to Malibu and Brooklyn by showing them his phone, but accidentally shows them a photo of Gato at a pet grooming place. Gato is getting a fur trim and a pawdicure.
In "To Dye For", Rafa makes costumes for Malibu and Brooklyn to wear to a commercial audition. The costumes shrink and are too small for the girls to wear, so they say the costumes are "Gato-sized."
In "Race to the Finish", the West Coast Roberts go to New York to bring Malibu and Brooklyn to California for the summer. When they leave for California, Rafa and Gato sneak onto the camper because Rafa isn't ready to say goodbye. Malibu says they will need to take a detour through Queens.
