Plot[]
After being given a single Reptar doll, Phil and Lil begin to fight over it and Betty decides to give the two sometime apart. So, she takes Lil to the Pickles' house to play with Tommy and Chuckie, while Phil stays home. Lil acts upset but claims she doesn't miss Phil; "he's just a big old booger brain!" She starts to cry, though, revealing she in fact does want to be with him. Tommy tells her that if that is what she wants, that is what she will get. Tommy, Chuckie, and Lil crawl out the door and cross over to the DeVille's' house where Phil is. But in the process, Lil loses her bow in the yard.
Meanwhile, Phil begins to miss Lil and sneaks out of the house to go to the Pickles'. However, as he crosses the yards, he finds Lil's missing bow and sees Spike sitting nearby. Thinking that Spike ate Lil, Phil grows upset, even asking Spike to eat him so he can be with Lil, but all Spike does is lick Phil's face and go inside. Phil follows, and keeps Lil's bow close, pleading with Spike to throw Lil back up.
Lil, Tommy and Chuckie arrive at the DeVille's' house. Lil runs to Phil, but he's nowhere to be found. Lil breaks down crying, missing her brother dearly. Betty comes and comforts Lil, thinking she is Phil due to her lack of bow. Betty then brings Lil to the Pickles' house to reunite the twins, and Tommy and Chuckie, unseen by Betty, slip away to get back to the playpen at the Pickles' before Betty.
They manage to reach the playpen just as Betty returns with Lil. The boys find Phil, who grabs Chuckie's shirt and yells at Chuckie, asking what he did with Lil. Betty brings Lil to Phil. The twins happily hug and the adults, pleased, leave for the kitchen.
Phil and Lil tell each other how happy they are to see each other again and promise never to fight again. Phil blames Lil for starting it all, and the two start to fight all over again. Tommy and Chuckie shrug to each other, not knowing what to do.
Trivia[]
- A scene from this episode was featured in a Nicktoons bumper/VHS bumper that also featured clips of Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Rocko's Modern Life, and Hey Arnold!.
- This is the first episode where Phil cries on his own instead of with the other babies.
- In airings of TeenNick's The 90s Are All That/The Splat (now NickRewind), the title card is not shown.
- it is revealed in this episode that Phil and Lil have separation anxiety.
- After Tommy, Chuckie, and Lil sneak out of Tommy's house with Spike's help, Tommy says they have to go next door. Chuckie points out that there are two "next doors"; the second one that he points to is Phil's and Lil's house. Tommy and Chuckie each point to the house that they think is right (Chuckie is right). Lil says, "It's that one", as if she is referring to a different house, which "looks like a choo-choo when you turn it upside down". Tommy notices this as well, but Chuckie doesn't. However, none of the houses in their neighborhood looks much like a train from any angle.
- The house looking like a train is probably meant to just be a baby's interpretation.
- In this episode, Didi gives Tommy a purple Reptar toy.
- When Didi walks away after putting Lil in the playpen with Tommy and Chuckie, there is a coloring error where the wall behind the playpen is green.
- The Smurfs is mentioned in this episode by Larry after Steve gets blue paint on himself.
- Moral: Don't hold grudges against your siblings. Share your toys with your brother or sister.
