* BorrowedWithoutPermission: Tommy and Chuckie are playing in a stream of water and make a sailboat from a piece of fence and a sign for peas from Drew's garden. However, they need a toy to be the captain for their boat. When Tommy sees Cynthia, the favorite doll of Angelica, his older cousin, he decides to use her. Chuckie, knowing that Cynthia is Angelica's doll, doesn't think using her is such a good idea, but Tommy tells him that they'll only need her for a little while and he will return her to Angelica when he's done with her. Unfortunately, while playing with Cynthia, the boat accidentally goes down a sewer drain, eventually winding up in a garbage dump. When Angelica finds out that Cynthia has gone missing, Tommy and Chuckie wonder whether or not they should tell her that they accidentally lost her, especially when she threatens to beat up whoever took her. They eventually confess when Angelica throws a funeral for Cynthia, but just before Angelica can beat them black and blue, Spike returns with Cynthia, having found her at the dump.

No one really realizes he was gone, but Angelica does become aware of Cynthia's disappearance.

!! "My Friend Barney" provides examples of:

* DisproportionateRetribution: When the other babies ask why Barney, Chuckie's imaginary friend, never comes over to play, Chuckie tells them this;
-->'''Chuckie:''' Well, um... it's very sad, you guys... Barney... he wouldn't eat his [[StockYuck broccoli]], so... they sent him to [[{{Malaproper}} prism]]!\\
'''Other Babies:''' *gasp!*\\
'''Chuckie:''' They can do that, you know.
* ImaginaryFriend: Chuckie creates an imaginary friend named Barney (no, not ''that'' [[Series/BarneyAndFriends Barney]]), who seems to be a lot braver than Chuckie.

It is eventually revealed in "[[Recap/RugratsS4E2MothersDay Mother's Day]]" that [[spoiler:Melinda Finster is deceased]].
