Upset with this, D.W. and Nadine go back in time and repeat the process - with one major exception. D.W., disguised as a salesperson, leads David and Jane to a baby version of D.W. surrounded by people. Driving the other people away by saying David and Jane pre-ordered the baby D.W., she successfully convinces her parents to buy the baby. D.W. and Nadine then go forward in time, seeing D.W. being applauded as a "perfect child" given attention and pets. David and Jane say that they do not need another child, since firstborn D.W. is so perfect. | Upset with this, D.W. and Nadine go back in time and repeat the process - with one major exception.

Feeling bad for baby Arthur, D.W. goes back to the baby store. She finds baby Arthur and leaves him at the Reads' doorsteps. Firstborn D.W. suggests that David and Jane keep him. The real D.W. and Nadine go forward in time to see how an older D.W. and younger brother Arthur are doing. Older D.W. is teaching Arthur what is good and what is bad, giving him cookies as a reward. | Feeling bad for baby Arthur, D.W. goes back to the baby store.

At home, older D.W. is scolded | At home, older D.W. is scolded. Arthur then decides that he wants to see Slappy Blackhead, which he calls "Sloopy Bloopy". Older D.W. is forced to comply, and to get him new glasses. The real D.W. and Nadine follow behind on the time machine. Looking at the clock, Arthur says that they are going to miss the movie. Older D.W. decides to take a shortcut, using the same route that the real D.W. was shown in the beginning of the episode. Only this time, older D.W. and Arthur get lost - older D.W. doesn't know the way out. The real D.W. and Nadine watch them, and D.W. states that she doesn't know the way out either. Feeling scared, the real D.W. tells Nadine that they should go back in time and prevent them from taking the "shortcut". | ||
Unfortunately, Arthur finds the time machine before D.W., and disappears. Older D.W. then sees the real D.W. and Nadine. D.W. tells her that she is her. Shocked, older D.W. calls for an older version of Nadine. Asked if she knows the way out, the real D.W. says no. Both D.W.s and Nadine's call out for help, but to no avail. The real D.W. then decides that she no longer wants to be the oldest. | Unfortunately, Arthur finds the time machine before D.W., and disappears. Older D.W. then sees the real D.W. and Nadine.

Back in the real D.W.'s room, D.W. is still asleep. The real Arthur finds her and asks if she's okay. D.W. wakes up and is glad to see him.

Arthur gives her her toys to comfort her, and D.W. tells him that she's glad that he's her older brother. Arthur then goes back to his room. D.W. then joins Arthur in his bed and the two fall asleep. | ||

* | *[[Doll Story 2]] is an obvious reference to {{W|Toy Story 2}}. | ||
* Arthur references [[Arthur's Baby (episode)|Arthur's Baby]] when he says, "Babies don't come from stores. Remember when Kate was born"? | |||
* The reason D.W. can't have a kitten at all is because Arthur already has a dog. Besides that, not only is one pet enough, but cats and dogs are said to not like each other since dogs chase cats, and Pal really does chase them (especially one time when he barked and growled at Francine's cat, [[Nemo]]). | |||
*[[Slappy Blackhead's Way Cool Journey Through Time]] may be a combination parody of ''[[Wikipedia:Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure|Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Ferris Bueller's Day Off|Ferris Bueller's Day Off]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:Back to the Future (franchise)|Back to the Future]]''.
