Summary
D.W. borrows Grandma Thora's porcelain doll, Clarissa and she cracks the doll the day she is supposed to return it. Arthur gets the help of Mr. Ratburn to try to fix it.
Plot
The episode begins with D.W. at Grandma Thora's house. D.W. likes Clarissa, the porcelain doll Thora keeps in her cabinet. D.W. asks if she can borrow it and Grandma Thora says she can. D.W. does not take good care of the doll, getting it covered in mud.
On the day D.W. is supposed to return Clarissa, she is jumping on the bed, causing Clarissa to fall and her right eye being broken off. Her parents discover the broken and muddy doll and get mad at D.W. Mr. and Mrs. Read decide to show D.W. how special Clarissa is to Grandma Thora.
They show D.W. and Arthur a scrapbook of pictures from Thora's childhood, where it turns out she got Clarissa as a birthday present and took really good care of her. D.W. feels guilty that she broke Clarissa, but her parents are able to find a doll hospital that could fix Clarissa.
Unfortunately the doctor is on vacation, so they enlist the help of Mr. Ratburn. Two hours later, D.W. comes back fearing that Mr. Ratburn is destroying Clarissa. But the doll turns out to be good as new.
Later that evening Grandma Thora goes to the Read house to get the doll back from D.W. Grandma Thora thinks that D.W. took good care of the doll, but D.W. can't handle the guilt of not telling the truth, so she tells Thora that she broke the doll and got it fixed.
Grandma Thora tells D.W. that she broke Clarissa many times over the years, but got her fixed. Thora says that D.W. was very trustworthy for telling her the truth, and very responsible for getting the doll fixed. Grandma Thora lets D.W. keep Clarissa.
