"Go to Your Room, D.W." is the second half of the 4th episode of the animated children's series Arthur. Together with Arthur Makes a Movie, it first aired on October 13th, 1997.
Summary
D.W. is sent to her room for 10 minutes, after threatening to pinch Kate . However, these 10 minutes go by painstakingly slow for D.W. and she frets with Nadine that it'll never be over.
Plot
D.W. doesn't get along well with Kate as Kate keeps trying to take her toys, and is sent to her room for ten minutes after threatening to pinch Kate when she would not give one of her toys back and for trying to take the toy away from Kate by force. She thinks that her parents only love Arthur and Kate and is angry that they would ever try to punish her. While waiting for the clock to change, she thinks that time has stopped, and imagines everything as having been frozen into place as she runs around the house, unaware that everything is just a hallucination. Her father snaps her out of her bizarre behavior and is sent back up to her room. D.W. then tells her imaginary friend Nadine about all the horrible things that have happened to her (Even though these things never have happened to her) such as Arthur getting a cold and how D.W. had to stay up all night and take care of him, fulfilling his selfish requests to avoid him telling their mom on her. She also "recalls" when she couldn't attend her Aunt Lucy's wedding because her mom made her stay home and work like a slave, and then she told her that they liked Kate better than her. Angry at these false recollections she thinks of ways to run away from home, such as running away to Grandma Thora's by calling a cab. She then thinks of how Thora would defend D.W. and have her folks punish Arthur instead. She tries to run away by climbing down the drain pipe of her house, only to find it is way too far away for her.
D.W. is forced to babysit Kate for the rest of her punishment, and blames her for her punishment. Kate starts cuddling up to D.W. but D.W. recollects how Kate made the day difficult for her, such as causing their mom to notice that D.W. tried to steal a doll from the store, falling asleep while D.W. to finish a pony ride in the store, or stealing her dolls. However, after Kate starts hugging D.W.,she realizes that she has been a horrible sister, and apologizes for her behavior. D.W.'s punishment is finally over and is free to go, but she proceeds to play "Lifeboat", where she saves her dolls from being eaten by sharks. When dinner finally comes a while later, Kate is asleep, but D.W. doesn't want to leave her room, having too much fun with her dolls and instead wants to stay five more minutes.
