| ==Summary== | | ==Trivia== |
| Pal and Kate fear Nadine has been kidnapped by the Tibbles, so they set out to investigate. | | *Binky reads the title card for "Baby Kate and the Imaginary Mystery." It's the one where Pal searches and sniffs around the title card circle, but howls because it's empty. |
| | | *Peter K. Hirsch is the writer for "Baby Kate and the Imaginary Mystery," while Elie Klimos and Elise Benoit are the two storyboard artists. |
| ==Plot== | | ==Quotes== |
| Kate announces a Mashed Peas Theater story that will feature Pal, a cat and an imaginary friend. | | *Baby Kate: But what about D.W.? How could you leave her for three whole days? |
| | | *'''Nadine''': Actually, D.W. hasn't called for me much lately. Even though I'm always there for her when she needs me, I think she might be starting to get too old for me. I hear it happens. |
| '''Baby Kate and the Imaginary Mystery''' | | *'''Baby Kate''': If that does happen, Nadine, you can be my imaginary friend. |
| | | ---- |
| Kate and Pal are about to bury Mr. Read’s wallet in the garden, when Vicita’s imaginary friend Treenie appears accompanied by Amigo. She asks for help because Nadine has been missing for three days.
| | *Baby Kate: A cat, a dog, an imaginary friend. What do these three creatures have in common? |
| | | *'''Pal''': Hair! They all have lots of hair! Am I right? |
| Kate and Pal suspect the Tibbles of kidnapping Nadine. Kate remembers how D.W. and Nadine always did everything together. | | *'''Baby Kate''': Pal, I was asking them. (''indicates the viewers'') |
| | | *'''Pal''': Oh, them. Why were you asking them? They never say anything, even when Arthur talks to them. |
| Pal hides in one of the Tibbles' backpacks and is carried into the Tibble house, where Nemo comes in through the kitchen window and quarrels with Pal. When Mrs. Tibble closes the window, Nemo is trapped. Pal has a fantasy of the twins tickle-torturing Nadine to find out what the initials D.W. stand for. He wants to search upstairs. After being scared by Mrs. Tibble's vacuum cleaner, Nemo agrees to help him. They search the twins' room. Meanwhile, Kate and Treenie wait in D.W. and Kate's room.
| | ---- |
| | | *Baby Kate: D.W. and Nadine have always done everything together. Brush their teeth, play hide-and-seek... |
| The twins come into their room and mistake Nemo for one of Mrs. Tibble's stuffed toys. They put Nemo into the attic where Mrs. Tibble keeps the toys she repaired. Pal follows. While Nemo escapes through an open window, Pal asks Arthur's old teddy bear Stanley and a pink elephant for help. Despite having excellent hearing, the elephant has not heard Nadine, and now Pal is trapped.
| | *'''D.W.''': 8 9 10. Ready or not, here I come. |
| | *'''Baby Kate''': And Nadine always takes D.W.'s side in an argument. |
| | ---- |
| | *Baby Kate: That hole's big enough. Now we just have to put something in it that we want to grow. |
| | *'''Pal''': (''grabs Mr. Read's wallet'') We'll make a wallet tree. |
| | *'''Baby Kate''': Capital idea. |
| | ---- |
| | *Pal: Good luck finding your fly. |
| | *'''Nemo''': I already found him. We had lunch. (''licks his lips'') |
| | *'''Pal''': Oh! Cats! |
| | ---- |
| | *Nemo: A mouse. Blech. Ugh. It's fake. What a rotten trick. |
| | ---- |
| | *Pal: D'oh. What kind of a creature puts a half-eaten banana in his backpack? (''He licks it off his leg.'') It's not bad. |

| At night, Kate tries to get out of her crib and help Pal. Just then, Pal returns after hiding in the Tibbles' trashcan and being taken out by Mrs. Tibble. Nadine returns. She has been on vacation in Fairy Land and forgot to tell Treenie. She mentions that D.W. does not need her so much lately, since she is getting older. Kate offers to have Nadine be her imaginary friend, but assures Pal she will always like him best.
