The fourteenth episode of the first season of Rugrats (2021).
House of Cardboard
When Lou gets a cardboard house for the babies to play in, Angelica tries to keep it for herself. However, she and Chuckie are surprised when they find they both feel the same way about decorating it.
Fluffy Moves in
Angelica gets her own pet, a cat named Fluffy. Fluffy causes trouble when the babies aren't looking, and the babies are quick to blame Angelica for it.
"House of Cardboard" provides examples of:
- Loophole Abuse: Lou tells the babies not to have any wild parties in the carboard playhouse, but Angelica decides to through a normal party instead, since Lou said nothing about normal parties.
- Malaproper: Angelica mispronounces "interior decorator" as "inferior dectorator".
- Mythology Gag: When Chuckie talks to Tommy about decorating their new playhouse together, he suggests that they get some plants for it, but not dandelions, as he's allergic to them.
- Trash the Set: Near the end of the episode, the cardboard playhouse that Lou gets for the babies collapses as a result of the babies playing too roughly in it.
"Fluffy Moves in" provides examples of:
- Adaptational Late Appearance: In the original 1991 series, Fluffy first cameoed in "Touchdown Tommy", the first half of the eleventh episode of the first season, before getting her own A Day in the Limelight episode in "Fluffy Vs. Spike" one episode later. In this series, Fluffy makes her debut in this episode, which is the second half of the twenty-third episode of the first season.
- Adaptational Personality Change: In the orignal series, Fluffy enjoyed tormenting the babies and Spike and only loved Angelica. In this series, she gets along with the babies and Spike and hates Angelica.
- Added Alliterative Appeal: This episode begins with Drew buying Angelica Cynthia's Pet Pomeranian Puppy with Posh Pet Carrier.
- Meaningful Name: Angelica names her cat "Fluffy" because of how fluffy and white she is.
- Mythology Gag: In this episode, Angelica asks her parents if she can have a baby brother or sister, much to their shock.
- Noodle Incident: When Angelica tells the babies that she didn't break their possessions, she brings up past times when she lied, such as when she told them Spike ate their monkey puppet and when she told them the mailman moved to the North Pole to work for Santa Claus.
- Not Me This Time: When Fluffy breaks the babies' possessions, the babies are quick to blame Angelica, given her reputation as a troublemaker. When the babies ask Angelica why they should believe her when she told them she didn't pop Tommy's ball, Angelica tells them that she had a million chances to pop the ball, and asks them why she'd start now. The babies ask her "So you can blame it on the cat?"
- Possession Presumes Guilt: Discussed; when the babies see that Fluffy really has been framing Angelica for bad behavior, they point out that Angelica has done similar things to them before, such as the time she put sand in Tommy's crib and tricked Chuckie into holding the pail, and when she hid Phil's pudding cup under Lil's blanket to make Phil think Lil took it.
- Pushover Parents: When Angelica gets the idea to have a real pet after seeing a girl with her own pet dog, Drew begs Angelica not to ask him for a pet, as he's not good at saying no.
- Troublemaking New Pet: When Angelica and Fluffy visit the babies at Tommy's house, Fluffy breaks a few things. When the babies see their broken possessions, they are quick to blame Angelica, given her reputation as a troublemaker. When Angelica tells the babies that she didn't break them this time, the babies don't believe her. The babies finally believe her when they see that Fluffy caused her to lose control of her car and drive it into Didi's garden.
