Story
Malibu, Brooklyn, Skipper and Ken prepare to take a road trip in the camper. Along the way, they will help the Malibu Doggy Rescue Centre find homes for deserving dogs. George helps to prepare for the trip. Most of the dogs are in the camper, except for Bella and Ella, who Chelsea tries to sneak away with. George and Margaret notice and George asks Chelsea what she is doing. Chelsea explains that she doesn't want the dogs to be separated because they are sisters. Malibu promises she will take extra good care of Bella and Ella until they find perfect homes for them.
Rafa calls to let Malibu and Brooklyn know that he booked them an audition to be backup singers for Jacinda's new music video. Margaret asks who Jacinda is, so Malibu, Brooklyn, Skipper and Stacie start singing Jacinda's song "Flip the Script". George sings too, which confuses and embarrasses everyone. Brooklyn wants to find an express route to New York so she and Malibu can get to the audition, but Ken and Skipper want to take a scenic route and skip the audition. The viewer makes the decision for Malibu. When Malibu, Brooklyn, Skipper and Ken leave, George waves goodbye and tells them to drive safe. There are multiple endings depending on the viewer's choices. In several of the endings, Malibu moves back to California with George and the rest of her family, and they adopt Bella and Ella.
