  • In "Second Time Around", when Angelica convinces Chuckie that he has Wormy-oliosis, a disease that turns its victim into a worm, Susie thinks that the only cure is to make a wish on a dinosaur tooth. The babies go to the dinosaur statue at the park, and when Tommy tries to get the tooth, he hangs from it for his life. Chuckie wastes no time rushing to Tommy's aid and saves him from a nasty fall. However, their combined weight causes the tooth to break off and the two end up falling anyway. Fortunately for them, Spike shows up and catches them just before they can hit the ground.
  • In "Lady De-Clutter", Didi hires the titular character to help her de-clutter her house, but Lady De-Clutter ends up taking way more stuff that Didi had intended, including things that she and the rest of her family still need and/or want to keep (such as Didi's supplies for her arts-and-crafts projects, Stu's videogames and the family's toaster). Amidst the chaos, Tommy accidentally loses his toy screwdriver, which ends up in Lady De-Clutter's possession, so he goes into Lady De-Clutter's truck to get it back, using a pair of baby monitors as walkie-talkies so he can communicate with his friends. While onboard the truck, Tommy discovers that Lady De-Clutter is really a con artist who takes other people's possessions so she can sell them online for a handsome profit. When Lady De-Clutter calls someone on her cell phone telling them this, which Didi and the other adults happen to overhear, the kids' parents ultimately have Lady De-Clutter arrested and get their things back.
  • In "Traditions", Angelica mistakes the Baby Jesus prop that Betty stored in the Pickles' closet for a Christmas present for herself and takes a liking to it. When she overhears from the adults that the Baby Jesus has gone missing and that the nativity pageant can't go on without it, she worries that she'll be on the naughty list unless she can make things right, so she sends the babies to return the Baby Jesus. When Tommy tries to do so, he gets attacked by a goat. When Angelica sees this, she proves that she cares for her baby cousin by scaring off the goat, then telling Tommy that she owes him for getting him into her mess because he's been such a good cousin to her.
  • In "House Broken," Stu upgrades Duffy with a new security system that unfortunately locks him and Lou out and the babies inside. The security system mistakes the babies for intruders and tries to catch them. When Stu tries to disable Duffy with his drone, Duffy instead manages to override the drone's programming and take control of it, becoming even more powerful. Tommy first catches Duffy in an overturned laundry basket, but Duffy manages to catch him. Chuckie then manages to catch Duffy with a butterfly net, saying nobody takes his friend from him. Finally, Spike manages to disconnect the super brain that Stu installed on Duffy, defeating it and disabling the security system.
  • The song in "A Horse Is A Horse". The uplifting song has some great morals that are not just good for kids, but can also be heard by adults as well. It features a musical number similar to those by acts like Ringo Starr. It's so good, you'll want to add it to your Spotify playlist. It's real Rugrats music!
  • Chuckie standing up to Josh to save his friends in "Chuckie in Charge". He even manages to get Josh on his good side by giving him cookies.
