Plot

Arthur and Francine try to find out why D.W. has been in a bad mood for days. During the course of the episode, D.W. takes her wrath out on everybody around her (those who don't deserve it). In the end, it is discovered that she wasn't invited to a girl's birthday party.

Trivia

Notes

• Francine is mentioned to have a birthday party in this episode; but it has never been confirmed to when her birthday is. However, she is eight years old, especially when episodes or books would take place during second semester of Arthur's third grade year.

Goofs

• In the flashback where D.W. was screaming at her father that she doesn't want to feel any better, she would wake up her sister Kate and cause her to cry for all the yelling and door slamming, since she and Kate both share a room.

Mom: You know that's not true, D.W. Everyone has the right to eat politely and that includes you.
