Role in the series[]
In the episode "The Bunny Blues", Stuffy finds Pickles in a cardboard box at Emmie and Alma's yard sale. Pickles thinks she has been whisked off to the yard sale because Alma didn't want her anymore, because she had been Alma's favorite toy since Alma was little. She starts to cry, which makes Stuffy start to cry too. Pickles starts to leave, but Lambie and Stuffy go to get her back. Stuffy starts to help her up over the fence, but Lambie stops him and reminds him that they are supposed to be helping Pickles get back to Alma. They take her to the clinic and Doc gives her a check-up. She then notices that her nose is missing. Pickles worries, but Doc searches for her box of toy parts for another nose, but all she can find is a small green button. Pickles worries that she'll look different with her button, but Doc tells her that Alma doesn't love her on the outside, she loves her because of who she is on the inside. She, Lambie and Stuffy take Pickles back to Alma and put her Alma's room.
In the episode "The Big Sleepover", Alma brings Pickles to Doc, who is having her sleepover with Emmie, to say goodnight to her. When Doc reveals that she feels a little sad, Alma lets her borrow Pickles for the night. Later that night, when Doc is still feeling sad, the toys try to help her cheer up, and Pickles offers to sing a song for Doc. Lambie tells her and Stuffy that Doc is homesick, and reminds them of how when Chilly missed Doc, she gave him a picture of the two together. Pickles helps Lambie and Stuffy get drawing supplies, and the three help to draw a picture of Doc and the rest of her family and toys all together, which helps her feel better.
In the episode "Hazel Has a Sleepover", Pickles is brought to Doc's sleepover by Emmie, due to Alma's request, as Pickles loves sleepovers. When they are alone, Doc bring Pickles and Emmie's new water toy Hazel to life, and tells them about the sleepover at her house. While Pickles is excited, Hazel is reluctant to go because she has an embarrassing problem: her trunk leaks at night. Doc takes the two to the clinic, and helps Hazel with her leak. At the sleepover, Pickles sleeps alongside Emmie, Doc, and the rest of the toys.
In the episode "Selfless Snowman", after an incident where Rudy plays too rough with her, Pickles gets a big rip and loses a lot of stuffing, and is taken to Doc by Emmie. At the clinic, Doc diagnoses her with "Stuffing-nemea", meaning she's missing stuffing. After looking up her file and determining that she is filled with "cotton-ball white" stuffing, Hallie goes to retrieve a spare jar of matching stuffing, only to discover that the jar is almost empty, and that "cotton-ball white" stuffing is very rare. Doc tells Pickles that until she can find a matching donor, Pickles will need to wait. Pickles is very sad, and worries that she might have "Stuffing-nemea" forever, and that Emmie won't want to cuddle with her. Chilly, heartbroken by her cries, bravely decides to volunteer, and donate his matching "cotton-ball white" stuffing, in order to help her. Pickles is extremely thankful, and gives him a hug for his generosity. After Chilly donates, and Pickles has her stuffing transfusion, Doc and Lambie clear her for cuddles, and have a group hug. Pickles gives Chilly an extra cuddle for his bravery. When Doc returns Pickles to Emmie, she finds that Pickles is even softer than before!
