Original air date: 11/18/2019

The door opens once more, and this time our dear host informs us that he and Blue were making a list of things they need to buy, quickly realizing that he definitely needs to buy new chalk, but not thinking about many other things. He then asks if there is anything his puppy wants to buy at the store, and the inevitable happens, we are gonna play Blue's clues to find out what Blue wants to buy

After saying goodbye to Pawprint, Josh comes to the conclusion that they need to go to Sidetable and takes the opportunity to see how many "Josh steps" he needs to get there (which were only 6) While searching for clues, Josh is distracted by some ice cubes, not realizing there is a clue on them, the first clue is ice cubes.

When jotting down the first clue, Josh hears Blue call out to him as she goes outside the house. In the backyard we found Shovel and Pail arguing over who brought the most graham crackers for a picnic and we helped them figure out which of them had more of them, and how many they had in total (which was 15, and the one with the most was Shovel, with 8). Walking in search of clues Josh comes across items for a picnic which, but goes straight past, until the viewer points out that there is a Pawprint in a cup on the table, the second clue is Cup.

Josh questions what the hell Blue would want with a Cup and Ice Cubes, thinking that maybe she wants to buy a cup of ice, but even he can tell that doesn't make sense. With no time to think, the choir announces that it is Mailtime. Mailbox arrives counting to the number 27, which initially seems strange, until he shows his stamp collection with 27 stamps, before handing a letter to Josh. The letter is from a little boy who was counting how many stuffed animals he had, which were four. After the letter, Josh says he loves counting, and Blue has an idea, they both skidoo to Joe's Present Store, much to Josh's excitement because he loves the Present Store. At the Present Store, our second host can be seen working and greets us. Josh then remembers that he needs to buy some chalk (which costs two blue dollars) and notes that he has money for something else, primeiro ele deseja comprar meias azuis, but he realizes he doesn't have enough money (he had 5 dollars and the socks costed 6), so he buys a nice blue baseball cap with a guitar on it for three blue dollars, leaving 2. Indo sair da Present Store, We passed some stuffed toys, but one of them had something special, a blue pawprint on it, After an awkward conversation about shampoo, Josh realizes that there is a clue in some lemon-shaped toys, with his new crayon he draws the third clue, that is lemons.

At Thinking Chair, we wonder what Blue wants to do with ice cubes, a Cup, and lemons. Josh being Josh, jokes that maybe the cup could use the cup as a hat and slide past the Ice Cubs, before we come to the conclusion that Blue wants to buy lemonade.

After solving Blue's clues Josh states that they still need a place to buy lemonade, which Blue responds by leading him out of the house while holding his new hat, until arriving at the lemonade stand that by "coincidence" Joe opened in the backyard of the house (and which "by chance" has the three clues drawn on the sign). But not even when life gives you lemons do you make lemonade (or gifts according to Joe). For a single Blue Dollar Josh buys his pup a glass of lemonade while they join Shovel and Pail's picnic. When everything is over, it's time for So Long, and Josh and Joe sing one more song, with a lick from our favorite puppy we said goodbye once again to our friends


  • Ambiguous Innocence: It initially appears to be a coincidence that Joe appears in the episode, but then he suddenly owns a lemonade stand with drawings of the three episode clues on the sign, and only seems to notice Josh when he asks the viewer about lemonade. All of this makes Joe look like he already knew the answers to the game long before Josh did. Though it's never said.
  • Call-Back: Mailbox mentions that Steve helped him start his stamp collection, which happened in the third episode of the original series.
  • Continuity Nod: Mailbox shows us his stamp collection, and also states that Steve helped him start it. The collection itself is also filled with stamps that were on letters in the original series.
  • Creative Closing Credits: Both Sidetable and Shovel and Pail play with the viewer in the closing credits
  • Fleeting Demographic Rule: This episode is the modernized version of the episode "Math" from the original series.
  • Friendly Shopkeeper: As usual Joe, not only at the Present Store but also at a lemonade stand.
  • Lemonade Stand Plot: To our and Josh's surprise Joe opened a lemonade stand in the short time between him leaving the Present Store and him leaving the house.
  • New Job as the Plot Demands: Joe, in addition to being the salesman at the Present Store, also opened a lemonade stand.
