==Plot==
The episode starts with Arthur, D.W., Kate, and Pal watching a parody of ''[[Rugrats parody|Rugrats]]''. The babies in the show escape their play pen by building a block pyramid and using a wooden plank to get across. Kate criticizes the show for being unrealistic, because her play pen isn't that easy to get out of, and the kids' parents never appear on the show. She says that ''[[Vidiboobies]]'' is a better show, and wishes that D.W. still liked it. Pal responds, "Maybe she does," and changes the channel. Arthur accuses D.W. of changing the channel, but she denies it. They argue, although to Kate and Pal, it just sounds like a bunch of angry "blah, blah, blah." Kate and Pal continue to watch ''Vidiboobies''.

[[Jane Read|Jane]] pushes Kate in a stroller and Arthur walks Pal. Kate and Pal are having a discussion about ''Vidiboobies'' when Pal eats a half-eaten doughnut. [[Nemo]] starts making fun of Pal, and Pal tries to attack Nemo, although both pets are carried away by their owners.

Back at [[Arthur's house]], [[David Read|David]] panics because he can't find the bride-and-groom decoration that goes on top of the cake for the [[Crosswire family|Crosswires]]' niece's wedding he is catering. Kate notices that David is looking for something. Arthur asks if he can just buy a new decoration, but David responds that they specifically ordered one shaped like the bride and groom. David spent all night sculpting them out of marzipan, and shows a photo of them. Kate notices a decoration under the table that looks like the people in the photo, and decides that it must go on the "white tower" (wedding cake). Jane tells D.W. to pick up her toys. Kate crawls over to the figure, but her mom brings her upstairs before she can grab it.

Kate tells Pal to grab the marzipan sculpture. Pal gets close to it, but D.W. collects it in her toy barn, complaining about doing work. She states that "some of these things aren't even mine!" Pal grabs the barn, and D.W. tells Arthur that his dog is trying to eat her toys. Arthur thinks that Pal is just hungry, and brings him back to the kitchen.

===Cultural references===
===Cultural references===
*In the beginning of this episode, the Reads watch a spoof of ''Rugrats''. Kate's comment about "being in Paris by now" references {{W|Rugrats in Paris: The Movie}}. Pal compares the red-headed kid to a "chew toy." As a colloquial term for someone easily exploited, it describes the ''Rugrats'' Chuckie very well.
*In the beginning of this episode, there are spoofs of "''Rugrats''" and "''Teletubbies.''" Kate even mentions the Sun Baby from the ''Teletubbies''.
*This is followed by a ''Teletubbies'' parody. Kate perceives one of the characters as quoting William Shakespeare's ''The Tempest''. Kate later explains to Pal, that "the smiling baby in the sun represents our essential unity with nature."
*During said ''Teletubbies ''parody, Kate perceives one of the characters as quoting William Shakespeare's ''The Tempest.''
*The title is a parody of {{W|The Secret Life of Pets}}.
