Arthur feeds Pal a lot of food that he shouldn't be eating, disregarding his parents' reprimanding. Meanwhile, D.W. has been routinely criticizing Pal, annoying Arthur. A few days later, he finds Pal is not acting like his usual self -- he's very lethargic and is making strange groaning noises. He's forced to take Pal to the vet when it's clear he isn't getting any better, and much to Arthur's horror, he finds out that he must let Pal stay overnight. Distraught, he starts wondering what could have made Pal so sick, and enlists the help of his friends; taking her selfish behavior as a lead, he accuses D.W. of causing him to get sick, but his friends are unable to find any conclusive evidence. Later that day, Pal turns out to have gotten much better, with the vet telling Arthur exactly why he got sick in the first place. Arthur makes amends with D.W., and recognizes the error of his ways.

* ArtisticLicenseAnimalCare: Averted. The reason Pal gets sick is from the junk food Arthur gave to him in the episode.
* ConsolationBackfire: D.W. manages to do this, twice. First, at the dinner table, she tries to get Arthur to look on the 'bright side', that they can get a "good dog" now. She's immediately scolded for her words, so then she tries to apologize and console Arthur...and of course, she reminds him of when Spanky died. It doesn't exactly bring him back up.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: As opposed to her rather smug suggestion of getting a "good dog" earlier, D.W. comes forward to not only apologize to Arthur for her behavior, but to give her condolences for Pal being sick. Unfortunately, she expresses empathy by bringing up [[CallBack when Spanky died]]. That's not something you want to mention to your sibling if their dog's fate is still up in the air. This leads to Arthur whimpering and (naturally) calling for their mom.

* NeverMyFault: Arthur is initially oblivious to the fact that Pal's condition may have been his fault when he was already told several times not to feed his dog human food, and is more willing to blame D.W. for it, since it was her hot dog Pal ate.

* SkewedPriorities: Arthur's nightmare is ridiculously improbable on a number of levels. So what's the first thing that tips him off about how unrealistic it is? That Pal ''doesn't know their home phone number.'' Apparently, the fact he was able to ''use'' the phone in the first place wasn't enough a clue.

However, she's actually overjoyed by this, knowing she'll be pampered by Grandma Thora.

The circus is coming to town, but Arthur has started to feel a bit weak lately. When he is sent home after a trip to the nurse from school, D.W. wonders how he got home before he did. She is doubtful of Arthur's sickness as she doesn't see anything wrong with him, and soon grows envious of him when he begins recieving seemingly special treatment. She envies that he gets to eat at the couch instead of at the table, and that his dinner is chicken noodle soup instead of spinach. The next morning, following a nightmare, Arthur wakes up and finds red dots all over his face, realizing he's come down with a case of the chicken pox, further worrying him that he may miss the circus. D.W. continues to feel jealous over Arthur's care, especially after Grandma Thora arrives, bringing her to fake a case of the chicken pox herself. Thora quickly catches on, expressing disappointment in D.W. for trying to get attention. The next day, Arthur feels well enough to go to the circus, but when D.W. tries to apologize for her behavior, she soon turns excited as she looks in the mirror to realize the impossible happened -- she got chicken pox! Arthur informs her that she's going to miss the circus, but she retorts by saying "The circus comes once a year, but you only get the chicken pox once!"
