* DebatingNames: In "Julieta's Dog", Manny has gotten a new robot dog and the tools wonder what to name her. Pat suggests "Barky", which Turner rejects because it's too noisy. Rusty thinks of "Slugger", but Stretch rejects because "she's a dog, not a baseball player." Then Philippe suggests naming the dog after him because he's happy to share his name. Then when Manny tells the tools whenever there's a problem that they can fix it, the tools are inspired and agree to name the dog "Fixit".
