Arthur explains to the viewers that his homework is harder whenever the Tibbles are playing with D.W. He says that Timmy Tibble is so loud that he can scream for 5 minutes straight, and Tommy Tibble is so loud that he can seem like four kids instead of one. He then tells the viewers to imagine what it would be like if the Tibble Twins had superpowers...

D.W. blames Arthur for everything, but Arthur gives D.W. advice: he tells her to just tell them that they are annoying and to stop acting like robots.

So at the Tibbles' house D.W. tries to talk to them, but the Tibbles sees her as an enemy. The Tibbles chase D.W. and Emily. Since D.W. is the enemy, Timmy pulls a playground swing back and then lets go.

The swing hits D.W. in the face, and she begins loudly crying as her mouth starts bleeding, though this isn't shown because D.W. had both her hands on her face. Emily runs to go get Mrs. Tibble and tell her D.W.'s face is bleeding I think it's broken. And the Tibbles, realizing they've gone too far, run away to hide in the garage.

Timmy then decides to  to stop playing the game, Tommy tells Timmy to put back on his helmet and he's outer space and needs it then tells Tommy he quits and was worried about D.W. then Tommy takes off his helmet  after thinking that D.W. could be dying after being hit in the mouth by the swing. [[Mrs. Tibble]] calls Timmy and Tommy and then Timmy tells Tommy if she finds us she will punish us, we should have hid against the back wall, Then Mrs. Tibble opens the garage door and then finds them. They plead for forgiveness and Mrs. Tibble tells them not to apologize to ''her'', but to D.W. The twins ask if she meant D.W. was alive, and Mrs. Tibble says she is, and that she has been taken to the emergency room by Jane

They walk to the hospital and they are happy to see D.W. and that she's still alive, they hug her feeling bad and sorry for what they did, they had no right to hurt her that way which leads them to a huge mistake. Jane tells D.W. "You were very brave D.W." When D.W. informs them that she got stitches on the right side of her face, the Tibbles apologize and tell her that they we're just trying to have fun, that nothing like this ever happened in the show. D.W. flatly explains to them that the show isn't real and that they should not do everything they see on TV. With that, the Tibbles finally learn their lesson.

As they leave, the Tibbles suggest watching something else, like sports, but D.W. refuses all of their suggestions, and the episode ends.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*At the end of the 2000 rerun intro on PBS Kids before this episode, Arthur’s crashing sound remains the same.
*Emily said that D.W. face was bleeding. However blood is not shown, as D.W. covered her face. This was likely because showing blood would be inappropriate for a family show.
*'''Karma:''' The Tibbles got in trouble when they hit D.W. with a swing.
*'''Irony:'''
**It's also implied that the Tibbles wouldn't have done half of the things they did "in character" had they simply been told beforehand that the show wasn't real.
**Like D.W. said, if Arthur didn't complain about D.W. and The Tibbles making noise then The Tibbles wouldnt have seen that TV show.
*'''Moral:''' Do not imitate the things you see on TV or you will get someone, or yourself, hurt.
