"D.W. Unties the Knot" is the second half of the second episode in the fourteenth season of Arthur.

Summary

After watching a reality program, D.W. plans her own dream wedding, but seems confused when she is reminded she needs someone to marry.

Plot

It starts from a fight between Dark Bunny and Bananomanoman. Bananomanoman throws a peel, which Dark Bunny easily jumps over. The show zooms out on the news which is talking about children copying what they see on TV.

Then Arthur is shown attempting to do a Dark Bunny hop, which Buster tells the kick needs to better and sooner. The show is put on the side when D.W. introduces herself and tells how Arthur can't copy what he sees on TV. But Arthur comes up and tells that doesn't happen, they have to find out.  

It starts with Arthur and D.W. arguing about their TV time. D.W. wins the argument, but it was tuned to Big Fancy Wedding. D.W. gets quickly interested in the show and continues to watch. Then she asks Dad if she can have a wedding. Dad says she needs to be older.

D.W. then goes to Emily's house to do some planning, also noting she's older by one hour. She asks for an onion (so she can cry) and a fancy dress. She gets a yellow dress with orange flowers, saying it's beautiful and pretends to cry.

Emily decides she doesn't need an onion. She goes listing she needs to say food, music, and someone who makes her say I do. She also said other things, including a big palace. Wait, where can they find a palace?

She goes to Muffy's Mansion to finalize a deal. But they can only get a space for a foot with $1 ("Hope your guests are small!") Walking away, D.W. said it was a wedding accidentally, making Muffy reconsider. She said it was a wedding for "D. Woo". Well, she didn't want Arthur in.

Now they had to plan the wedding with a theme. D.W. wanted a unicorn theme where D.Woo will get dressed up where will a unicorn will take her and Emily to the wedding; the wedding will have a cake, music, presents, just anything she wants. Muffy said it was a hard job, so she gave them Bionic Bunny Walkie-Talkies.

D.W. and Emily got the ring at a gumball machine, and got The Tibble Twins as the people who make D.W. say I do. Muffy comes in asking for the groom, which the girls decide it will be James.

They come back to Muffy's, which she completed the design and the invitations. However, D.W. discovers she has to love him forever, and live together,maybe their whole family will. That night, D.W. has nightmares of having James's family living with her. She goes down to watch Mary Moo Cow, but James switches it to the Shy Guy Awards. So D.W. decides to not show up after the dream was over.

She decides to spend the day with her dad. But dad has to cater the wedding, which he calls bizarre. D.W. arrives, and Dad tells her to play with the kids as he goes to the kitchen. Emily comes to get her dressed.

The Tibbles come to James,telling him to get ready to marry D.W. , much to his shock. He runs, with the twins chasing him. Inside, D.W. is finishing dressing up. Muffy was shocked where did the kids come and where was the bride. So D.W. reveals she's D.Woo.

D.W. came in, so did James and the Tibbles, throwing cooked rice. The music started,so it's time. But D.W. said I don't and started crying, so it failed. Muffy came in with the bill, which made Dad drop everything.

D.W. and Emily were watching Big Fancy Wedding again, but D.W. let Arthur have the TV. D.W. and Emily walk out talking about the wedding, and D.W. asked Emily to be her bridesmaid in 20 years.
