"All About D.W." is the first half of the third episode in the sixteenth season of Arthur.
Summary
When Emily gets the starring role in the preschool play, D.W. is beside herself with jealousy. She should be Little Red Riding Hood, not Tree #2! Undeterred, D.W. appoints herself Emily’s understudy (just in case!). But when the big moment arrives, can D.W. handle the spotlight?
Plot
The episode begins with D.W. acting out the story of Little Red Riding Hood in her living room with Grandma Thora. However, she is not impressed with Arthur's performance as the woodsman, and fake-cries so he'll agree to do it better.
Ms. Morgan announces the roles for the preschool play. Timmy is the Big Bad Wolf, Tommy is Grandma, and Emily gets the starring role as Little Red Riding Hood. D.W. gets the role of Tree #2, which she is not happy about.
D.W. talks to Thora and Arthur about how she wanted the lead role as Red Riding Hood. Thora suggests that she be Emily's understudy, and Arthur explains than an understudy is someone that fills in if the actor gets sick or can't make it to the play.
D.W. talks to Nadine and brainstorms ways she can be the understudy. She first considers digging a moat around Emily's house, but Nadine comes up with a better idea: there may be something Emily wants to do that's at the same time as the play.
At school, D.W. suggests that Emily go to Cat-arctica, a play about dancing kittens on ice. While Emily does want to go, she decides that she'd rather do the play. D.W. offers many other events to Emily, but she declines all of them.
D.W. thinks that if she can't find anything Emily wants, she should think of something she doesn't want. The next day, D.W. gives Emily a paper bag mask for her to wear "in case she wants to hide" if she messes up on her lines. Emily crumples up the bag and storms off.
Thora explains to D.W. that she should let Emily enjoy her role, asking D.W. if she would like it if Emily tried to take away something she wanted. D.W. decides to apologize to Emily at school the next day.
However, it turns out that Emily has lost her voice, and D.W. gets the role of Red Riding Hood after all. She has a nightmare about Emily as the Big Bad Wolf, forgetting her lines, and being given the paper bag mask.
During the play, D.W. forgets her lines. Emily, as Tree #2, whispers them to her, and she is able to finish the play. She decides that next time, she'll play Tree #2, because it's easier.
