During a sleepover at Christopher Robin's house, the gang incurs the wrath of a dangerous "Slusher".
This episode contains examples of the following tropes.
- All Just a Dream: In the end, most of the episode turns out to have been Christopher Robin's nightmare: except the part where they ordered pizzas was apparently real.
- Didn't Think This Through: Tigger, twice. First when he shuts the bathroom door and gets the hose caught in it (thus stopping water flowing and causing it to burst), and again when he sets up the mousetraps and accidentally corners himself.
- Early-Bird Cameo: Skippy the dog makes an early appearance in this episode, and would have a larger role in "A Pooh Day Afternoon".
- Gainax Ending: The ending is pretty strange. Pooh and the gang are arrested and interrogated by the police (!), until Christopher Robin confesses that everything was his fault. But then Christopher Robin wakes up on the sofa back home: it turns out he and his friends have just been asleep and dreaming all along. Everyone is happy that that there's no slusher... but then a delivery man shows up with the pizza they ordered. And then the episode ends with a mug shot of Christopher Robin in prison clothes again, with Pooh's voiceover saying that he was found guilty of sneaking out of bed against his mother's orders. That Eeyore wakes up with the rest despite only entering in the dream may count as well.
- Loophole Abuse: Christopher Robin's mother tells him to not let his head leave his pillow. Christopher then straps the pillow to his head and sneaks downstairs, because his mother never said anything about the pillow leaving the bed.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Tigger gives the alleged "slusher" the address.
- Piano Drop: Christopher, Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger set a trap for the "slusher" by suspending a piano in the air by a rope. The trap goes off on Eeyore.
- Shout-Out: Pooh ends the episode with his own variation of Dragnet's famous opening announcement: "Everything you've seen was a dream; only the names of the animals have been changed to protect the innocent."
- Society Is to Blame: Piglet claims he was "young and foolish" during his interrogation, and blames society.
- Spiritual Antithesis: In "Too Smart for Strangers", we learn about stranger danger, but that was about child molesters and the gang just discussed it. In this episode, however, the gang goes against what was taught in that episode and they actually deal with facing him.
- Unexpectedly Dark Episode: With the threat of the Slusher and very real consequences of the gang’s antics, this is probably the darkest episode of the series. The gang is also more mean-spirited and callous in this episode than usual, such as when they leave Piglet, who is frozen with fear, by himself.
