Recap / Dora the Explorer S6E20 "Swiper's Favorite Things"

Go To

Original air date: 2/1/2012 (produced in 2011)

Swiper is packing all of his favorite things for a sleepover at his Grandma's House — his overnight trunk, his favorite puppy book, and his very special funny bunny. Just as he is about to leave, a big wind gust comes in and blows everything away! Dora, Boots, and Swiper journey to Crocodile Lake, through the Tangled Forest, and race to Strawberry Hill to get Swiper's favorite things back. Along the way, Swiper must also learn self-control when he finds himself barely able to resist sticking to his promise not to swipe from anyone.


Tropes:

  • Chekhov's Skill: Swiper's Super Swiper Spin comes into full play near the end to stop a storm cloud from raining on Strawberry Hill.
  • Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere: Swiper struggles hard at trying to avoid swiping anyone's things.
  • Cool Old Lady: Swiper's grandmother who appears at the end of the episode.
  • Go-Karting with Bowser: Dora and Boots have a sleepover with Swiper at the end of the episode.
  • Promise Me You Won't X: Swiper promises to not swipe anything, but during the journey, his instincts kick in and he comes close to swiping from the other animals before being reminded by Dora and Boots of his promise by saying "Swiper, You Promised!".
  • Saying Sound Effects Out Loud: After passing Crocodile Lake, the Fiesta Trio appear without their instruments (due to losing them in the wind), thus they had to imitate their fanfare out loud.
  • Slumber Party: Dora, Boots, and Swiper have a sleepover at Swiper's grandmother's house.
