Go To

Original air date: 10/6/2005 (produced in 2002)

On Best Friends Day, Dora and Boots are meeting on Rainbow Rock, but they're in two different places! Help them on two separate adventures to get together again!


Tropes:

  • A Dog Named "Dog": A lock named "Lock" and a key named "Key".
  • Continuity Nod:
    • Flashbacks from "Lost Map", "Meet Diego!", "Journey to the Purple Planet", "Fish Out Of Water", and "The Golden Explorers" are shown as Dora and Boots are singing about everything they did together during the special "We Did It" song.
    • This is the second episode where Rocket Star is the episode's explorer star.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: After getting off scott-free with swiping the key, Swiper shows up again in the climax of the episode trying to swipe the ropes, only to be stopped by Dora and then Boots.
  • Musicalis Interruptus: When the "We Did It" song starts to play near the end, Dora stops the music and says while they always sing that song about what they did that day, on Best Friends Day, they sing a special version about all the things they did together. The music starts after that.
  • Picnic Episode: Dora and Boots have a picnic on Rainbow Rock to celebrate Best Friends Day.
  • Simultaneous Arcs: Dora and Boots have two separate adventures to get to Rainbow Rock.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: Swiper swipes Key for the gate.
  • Two Lines, No Waiting: Dora and Boots are separated from each other so they have to get there on two different adventures.
