Summary
During a sleepover party, Doc discovers that Sir Kirby is afraid of the dark and cures him of his fear.
Recap
Doc and her toys are having a sleepover party in Doc's room. Lambie states how much she loves sleepovers as she shows off her new pajamas. Doc then tells everyone that Donny let her borrow Sir Kirby for the sleepover and he tells them that this is his very first sleepover. But he gets very nervous when he is told that they would eventually turn off the lights to tell stories though he assures everyone that he is fine.
Soon they start playing sleepover games and everyone is having a wonderful time. But soon the time to turn off the lights have come and Sir Kirby starts making excuses as to why the lights should stay on. Then the lights get turned off by accident and Sir Kirby starts to freak out.
Right after Lambie and Stuffy note how he's really shaking and breathing heavy and Sir Kirby states that he doesn't really feel like himself so Doc gives him a checkup to find out what's wrong. She finds out that his heart is beating really fast and says that sometimes when someone is breathing fast and shaking and sweating it means they're scared when and she asks Sir Kirby if he is afraid of anything.
He admits that he always feels like this when it gets really dark and says that he might be scared which Doc agrees with. But after diagnosing him he decides that he can no longer be knight and decides to leave. Everyone chases after him and tells him that everyone gets scared sometimes, even brave knights. They make him feel better by telling him what they are afraid of.

- Sir Kirby: Yes, well, I--I'm not feeling very well at all. I--I feel, um, shaky and--and, like, sweaty actually.
- Doc: Sir Kirby, your heart is beating really fast. That's why you're so sweaty. Sometimes, when someone is breathing fast and shaking and sweating, it means they're scared. Is there anything you're scared of?
- Sir Kirby: Me scared? Need I remind you that I am Sir Kirby, the bravest knight in all of McStuffins kingdom! Why I have fought dragons, saved princesses, and conquered evil kings!
- Doc: And that's all so amazing, but have you ever been scared?
- Sir Kirby: [Whispering] The truth is, Doc, when it's very dark, I always feel like this, shaky and sweaty. I think I am scared.
- Doc: I think so, too.
- Doc: Everyone gets scared sometimes, Sir Kirby.
- Sir Kirby: You mean, even brave knights get scared?
- Doc: Even brave knights. We're your friends. We'll help you.
- Lambie: I'm afraid of hurting people's feelings. And polka dots. I do not like polka dots.
