6Emmie has slept over at Doc's house, but they went to bed a bit late and so are sleepy at breakfast. Doc groggily pours orange juice into her cereal, and Mr. [=McStuffins=] explains that sleep deprivation can make people cranky and spacy. Doc, Emmie, and Mr. [=McStuffins=] play tea party, then the non-Doc humans leave, so Doc and her toys start playing.

8However, Susie Sunshine is uncharacteristically cranky, so Doc gives her a check-up. Doc notices that Susie is yawning and her eyes no longer close when she lies down, so she concludes that Susie's eyes are stuck open (which she dubs "eyes-wide-itis"), causing her to not get any sleep, explaining the yawning and the crankiness. Doc realises that she and Emmie ate ice pops the night before and realises some of the juice must have fallen onto Susie's eyes.

10Doc cleans the juice off, and Susie takes a nap. When she wakes up, she is happier, so the tea party continues.

17!!This episode provides examples of:
18* BookEnds: The episode begins and ends with Doc, Stuffy, Lambie and Susie Sunshine playing Tea Party.
19* DeadpanSnarker: Courtesy of Hallie.
20--> '''Doc:''' Susie's not feeling like herself today.
21--> '''Hallie:''' I can see that.
22* ExhaustionInducedIdiocy: Doc is so sleep-deprived that she accidentally pours orange juice into her cereal.
23* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Downplayed -- Susie being cranky is noted as unusual and means something is wrong, however it's only sleeplessness that caused it.
24* SleepAesop: Doc and Emmie stay up late and when they wake up, they are all groggy and spacey. Later, they catch up on their sleep, but Susie Sunshine is sleep-deprived from having her eyes stuck open, which makes her uncharacteristically grumpy. The entire episode has a theme about sleep being important.
25* SleepDeprivation: Doc, Emmie, and Susie Sunshine are all a bit sleepy due to having stayed up late at a sleepover (for the girls) and having her eyes gummed open (Susie).
