Sympathy for the Squishy (Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn)

Sympathy for the Squishy is the fifth episode of Season 4 of Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. It first aired on February 3, 2018.

Plot
Nicky's excuse for being tardy starts the Harper Quads down a dangerous road of playing on people's sympathies that threatens to ruin their reputation at their new school.

Why It's Unsympathetic

 * 1) Nicky, Ricky, Dicky and Dawn are extremely unlikable and are at their absolute worst in this episode because they continuously lie to their classmates about their dog, Squishy Paws being ill to get sympathies.
 * 2) The quads' selfish sides are a major part of them in this episode.
 * 3) Ricky use for Squishy's sympathy is very stupid: Ricky is ungrateful because he scored 99 on a test instead of 100.
 * 4) The entire episode is about lying and being selfish, which is very stupid.
 * 5) It is surprising that the quads still have friends despite this.
 * 6) It has the "liar(s) revealed" cliché.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The ending is satisfying because the quads get punished by being forced to wash people's dogs while being dressed as dogs.
 * 2) Speaking of the ending, it is pretty good compared to the majority of the episode.
 * 3) There are some funny moments, such as Tom getting a robotic dog for Squishy Paws and the line "Quad Thing".
 * 4) It teaches us the consequences of taking advantage of other people's sympathies.
