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 as Emily's understudy (just in case!). But when the big moment arrives, can D.W. handle the spotlight?

Plot

Arthur explains to the viewers how whenever D.W. really, really wants something, there's no telling what she'll do to get it. Then, D.W. comes in to the Reads' den where Arthur is, acting out the story of Little Red Riding Hood with Grandma Thora. However, D.W. is not impressed with Arthur's performance as the woodsman, and cries so that he will agree to re-act the scene better. Arthur then says to the viewers, "See what I mean?".
