Recap[]
Doc is inside playing at Emmie and Alma's house one rainy afternoon with a bunch of dolls and an evil fairy. Upon noticing the rain has stopped, the three girls head outside to go play in the puddles and soon spot one! Then, Alma notices something in it, and she worriedly picks up her stuffed cow, Moo Moo, who accidentally got left in the rain. Alma tearfully admits that she did it on accident, and apologizes to Moo Moo for leaving her in the rain. Doc then leaves after she promises to fix Moo Moo up, and she heads into her clinic.
Inside the clinic, Moo Moo shakes off, after she is introduced to the others and she explains that Alma left in her the rain. Doc then asks for the towels, and she proceeds to begin to dry off Moo Moo.
As Hallie gives Moo Moo a patients tag, Moo Moo begins to cry, and claims that she doesn't think Alma really is her friend. Doc tries to convince her that Alma is her friend, and all friends make mistakes. She then asks Hallie to clear her schedule, since she will need to spend most of the day drying out poor Moo Moo, and they go back to the examination room. There, she diagnoses Moo Moo with "Squishy-itis", meaning that she is all wet and squishy from the rain, and adds it to the Big Book of Boo Boos. Doc tells Lambie and Stuffy to help her wring out Moo Moo, and all of the water goes into a small pan beneath her which Hallie then takes once they finish squeezing. Then, they roll up Moo Moo and Lambie proceeds to dance on her, to help squeeze out whatever is left. Moo Moo still has a little water left in her, so Doc goes outside with Lambie, Stuffy, and Moo Moo, and they all decide to relax and play out in the sun. Moo Moo expresses her joy, stating that she's never had this much fun before, except for once when Alma brought her to school. However, Moo Moo tells Doc she is mad at Alma, Doc tells her that Alma felt badly about what happened, and now that she is better, she just needs to give her one final checkup before she returns her to Alma. After singing the checkup song, Doc confirms that Moo Moo is all better now and ready to go home!
Unfortunately, she does not want to go home. Lambie notices that Moo Moo isn't excited and she reveals that after what happened, she does not want to leave Doc, since she was having a lot of fun, and she's happy to be with her new friends. She's also still upset with Alma, despite Lambie claiming that Alma will be very sad without Moo Moo. Doc once again tells Moo Moo that friends make mistakes sometimes, just like anyone else, and just because Alma made a mistake, doesn't mean that she doesn't love her. It's then Lambie remembers she left Stuffy in the sand and she apologizes before pulling him out. Lambie also mentions the time that Doc accidentally put her into the washing machine after she forgot to check the sheet for any toys. There was also the time Doc left Squeakers out on the water table on a really cold day, and he froze.
It's then everyone begins to sing a song, which makes Moo Moo feel sad. Then, they begin to hear someone crying, and Moo Moo and Doc go to look and see Alma crying, as she speaks to her toy frog and fairy doll, explaining that Moo Moo has always been there for her, and she wondering if she'll be okay. This makes Moo Moo realize that they had so many good times together, and she realizes how Alma miserable is without her. She now believes leaving her in the rain was an accident and Alma really does feel bad for what she did. And so, Moo Moo decides she wants to go back to Alma. Doc takes the stuffed cow back to Alma, who happily holds her and thanks Doc.
As the girls happily speak for a moment, they notice the rain storm approaching, and as it begins to pour, the two girls grab their toys and run inside as the episode ends.
