"Go to Your Room, D.W." is the second half of the 4th episode of Season 2. Together with "Arthur Makes a Movie", it first aired on October 13th, 1997.
Summary
D.W. is sent to her room for 10 minutes, after threatening to pinch Kate. However, these 10 minutes go by painstakingly slow for D.W. and she frets with Nadine that it'll never be over.
Plot
D.W. doesn't get along well with Kate as Kate keeps trying to take her toys, and is sent to her room for ten minutes after threatening to pinch Kate when she would not give one of her toys back and for trying to take the toy away from Kate by force.
She thinks that her parents only love Arthur and Kate and is angry that they would ever try to punish her. While waiting for the clock to change, she thinks that time has stopped, and imagines everything as having been frozen into place as she runs around the house, unaware that everything is just a hallucination (while D.W. is running around).
Her father snaps her out of her bizarre behavior and is sent back up to her room. D.W. then tells her imaginary friend Nadine about all the horrible things that have happened to her (Even though these things never have happened to her) such as Arthur getting a cold and how D.W. had to stay up all night and take care of him, fulfilling his selfish requests to avoid him telling their mom on her.
She also "recalls" when she couldn't attend her Aunt Lucy's wedding because her mom made her stay home and work like a slave, and then she told her that they liked Kate better than her. Angry at these false recollections she thinks of ways to run away from home, such as running away to Grandma Thora's by calling a cab.
dw was angry at this and took out a shotgun and killed her mother. dw ate her head. kate gets her head cut by a chainsaw. only pal lives. dw finds binky punching another kid and runs them both over with a car. francine is shot. DA END SHE ATE EVERYONE
- Mrs. Read sounded like Cinderella's Wicked Stepmother in her dreams.
- D.W. tried to steal a doll in one of her flashbacks, but it was a Princess Sneeze-and-Wet doll. D.W. already had this doll in the earlier episode "D.W. the Copycat".
- Go to Your Room, D.W. became adapted into a book in the D.W. series, and was retitled as D.W., Go to Your Room!.
- In this episode, D.W. imagines enjoying Grandma Thora's cookies, but in "The Half-Baked Sale", she doesn't like her cookies.
Goofs
- D.W. refers to Lucy as her cousin, but Lucy is actually her aunt.
- In the wedding flashback, the family took the catering van, not the station wagon; and Grandma Thora did not go to the wedding, because Lucy is Jane's sister and those two women are daughters of Grandpa Dave; and Arthur wore a teal tuxedo, not a blue one.
