==Summary==
==Summary==
The gang's treehouse collapses, and architect [[Frank Gehry]] steps in to help them rebuild—if they can agree on a new design.
The tree house collapses under the weight of snow of the roof. After meeting [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gehry Frank Gehry] at The Sugar Bowl, Arthur and his friends come up with different ideas to build a new tree house. The only design they agree on is the original, which they rebuild.
 
==Plot Outline==
==Plot==
There is snow on the ground and [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] and [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] decide to have a sled race to the [[Tree House|treehouse]]. When they arrive at the treehouse Arthur loses the race, but the treehouse collapses under the weight of all the snow. The rest of the gang soon meet at the [[Sugar Bowl]] to discuss the first day the treehouse was built and they then encounter [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Gehry Frank Gehry]. Soon the gang begin to individually design a new treehouse and they introduce the ideas to Frank at the Sugar Bowl, but in the end the gang decided that instead of a different design the original one was much better. So the treehouse is rebuilt the way it was before and Frank leaves, giving them a picture of a building he designed and only then does everyone realize who he really is.
One day, during a snow-sledding race between Arthur and Buster, the tree house has been destroyed by snow. Later at the Sugar Bowl, Arthur and his friends are worried. Then a man named Frank shows up and offers to help the gang. Arthur and his friends come up with lots of different designs for their tree house, but Frank doesn't approve of them. Then they discover they like the original design better. So they started rebuilding their tree house. As Frank leaves, he gave them a picture of one of his building designs. That was before they discovered it was Frank Gehry.

*This is the first episode where [[Cameron Ansell]] voices Arthur Read.
*The name Frances appears in this episode. It's unclear who Frances is, but Frances would be joined by a list of ten other unidentified student's names in the Season 13 episode, [[Arthur's Number Nightmare]].
*Special guest star [[Frank Gehry]] plays as himself.
*'''Irony:''' [[Brain]] said they liked the original idea better, but that's only because Frank rejected all their ideas.
*'''Moral:''' Dont reject someones ideas so that your plain design is the best for your own personal benefit.
*'''Timeline:''' Buster references his first dinner with [[Harry Mills|Harry]] from "[[Bitzi's Beau]]."
===Episode connections===
*The name Frances appears in this episode. It's unclear who Frances is, but their name would be joined by a list of ten other unidentified students' names in the Season 13 episode, "[[Arthur's Number Nightmare]]."
===Errors===
*When Francine is drawing the new treehouse on the stump, she mentions that Sue Ellen wants a pagoda; but in the Sugar Bowl when Francine shows the design to Frank, Sue Ellen has an art studio.
**It is possible that Sue Ellen might have changed her mind or that Francine simply made a blunder while pitching her treehouse idea.
