Leonard had wanted to come to Earth to help humans. He wants to find a way to help Olive. They go out to the beach at night. Olive offers to give Leonard “human lessons” while they figure out their Yellowstone plan. Olive encourages Leonard to try standing in the ocean. Leonard finds the water cold and refreshing. Back at home, Leonard makes a list of the human experiences he wants to have.
Leonard gets more comfortable with his cat body. Olive sneaks him into the movie theater to see the Wizard of Oz. At the theater, Norma notices Olive has a strange lump under her windbreaker and gets angry that Olive has taken Leonard on the motorcycle. Norma insists they leave. They are ambushed by the movie usher shining a flashlight on them and freeze. Norma allows them to stay for five minutes, but they end up watching the whole film. Leonard enjoys the movie but falls asleep.
