[[AC: Grandma Thora Appreciation Day]]
Arthur and D.W. worry that Grandma Thora is sad after a visit where she admits she misses them. They decide to throw her a surprise party, and insist that neither of their parents should help. But party planning is not easy when you have to think of food, guests, and a visit from Grandma Thora the night before the party.
!! Tropes for this episode include:
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: The kids finally beg for help when they realize they can't make a cake for Grandma Thora. David is all too happy to step in and save the situation.
* LethalChef: The kids try to make a pound cake from their father's cookbook. They end up splattering batter all over the kitchen. Fortunately, their parents heard the noise, and the kids decide to ask for help. They do the cleanup while their father handles the baking.
* NeverMyFault: D.W. makes her own list, which reads like gibberish to anyone who isn't her and only says "candy". Yet she insists that it's perfectly legible. In the climax, when neither Arthur nor D.W. invited Thora to come at 2 PM, Arthur says he forgot to put the task on his list and asks D.W. what her excuse is? "I can't write!" she retorts.
* StupidestThingIveEverHeard: Arthur says that D.W.'s idea to put an invitation to Grandma Thora in a fortune cookie, using a fortune cookie factory, is the dumbest idea ever. They decide to dial her over the phone instead.

[[AC: Fern's Slumber Party]]

!! Tropes for this episode include:
* HiddenDepths: Fern knows how to do graphic design on the computer. She encodes an invitation for the girls. What's more, she can solve a mystery in real time.
* IdiotBall: Muffy had seen that Francine removed her bracelet. Instead of going to return it, she put it on, admired it in the mirror, and then left it on the coffee table.
