** In "D.W.'s Baby", D.W. soon [[InfantSiblingJealousy becomes jealous of all the attention Kate is getting]], and taking the advice of the Tibble twins, tries to pin the blame on Kate for various bad things so her parents won't love the baby anymore and get rid of her.

** In the episode "Go to Your Room, D.W.!", which was also adapted as a book, D.W. is sent to her room after she threatens to pinch Baby Kate.

For added entertainment, D.W.'s room also happens to be Kate's room - that's where she has her crib. So when Mom needs a break she ends up sending Kate to the room too, asking D.W. to look after her sister. This results in D.W.'s muttering about being asked to babysit the enemy, but also leads to the happy resolution of the story.
