Wimzie's House

Shenanigans abound after Rousso makes his special cookies for the boys down at the fire station. Later, Jonas and Wimzie accidentally drop the cookie tin. Scared that they may have broken the cookies into little pieces, they keep the cookie tin out of Rousso's sight. To do so, they have to hide, run around and lie about the tin's whereabouts.

Wimzie thinks it's great fun to play the "Boo! " game, which means sneaking up behind people and scaring the pants off them with a loud "Boo! " Jonas, however, wants to be left alone to play quietly with his dirt collection but is afraid to say so for fear that Wimzie won't like him anymore.

To help Horace get over his general grumpy mood, Yaya makes him a magic crayon that can draw in the air. Loulou finds it and, not knowing that it belongs to Horace, she gives it to Wimzie as a gift. Meanwhile, Jonas arrives with his "Mevoca", a special voice-disguising megaphone toy for his budding spies.

Yaya gives Wimzie some magical seeds that grow a plant that yields a special kind of flower. Jonas gives Wimzie some of his special dirt and they grow this plant together. When they see that the flower to be picked is a whistle (it's a Toot-Lip), each wants it for himself. They argue about who it should belong to -- they're Wimzie's seeds, but it was Jonas' dirt.

Wimzie is feeling a little needy one morning and asks her parents to help her do little things like tie her shoes and pour a glass of milk. Rousso and Graziella are busy with Bo and remind Wimzie that she's a big girl and can do these things for herself. Wimzie then sees how Bo is catered to, and thinks that babies have it made.

Wimzie's first sleep-over threatens to become a disaster when Loulou wants to go home because she's never stayed in someone's house overnight and is scared of doing so. Horace makes fun of Loulou's fears but has to deal with his own when he learns the gang will be sleeping in the dark, which scares him. He eventually confesses his fear and the others make accommodations for him.

The kids go on a treasure hunt, after which they'll be rewarded with special Kazoo Cakes, little pyramid-shaped cakes that when eaten, make your voice sound like a kazoo. However, the kids don't know that and Wimzie eats one when she's not supposed to. She tries very hard to resist but she just can't She's quite surprised to hear her voice change.

On the day of a costume party that Rousso and Graziella are going to, Horace wants to have some fun by telling the others that he's spotted a giant cat, then a hippo and finally, a huge toad. Every time he calls, everyone runs out to see, but there's nothing there. Yaya thinks a retelling of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," might do Horace some good and that's the story at nap time.

Horace arrives in a foul mood on a day that a ripped screen in Wimzie's house brings in a swarm of mosquitoes. Graziella had been asking Rousso to fix the screen and again, he promises to get to it but he falls asleep instead. In the meantime, Horace's mood changes as he introduces his imaginary friend, Spike-the-mosquito, whose parents that morning had a yelling fight, which scared Spike.

Today, Loulou has decided to play games made only for two players. As a result, someone always ends up being left out and unhappy. The kids begin quarreling, then become friends again From arguments to reconciliations and back, Yaya decides that there is too much conflict in the air and steps in to restore order.

Wimzie is annoyed about having to share her toys all the time. Yaya tries to re-instill the sharing ideal in her grand-daughter and succeeds for the time being, but barely. A long-delayed Christmas present, a real camera, brings Wimzie to the point of rebellion. She won't share it. The other kids ostracize her and won't even pose for pictures. Yaya encourages her to share the camera.

A rainy day keeps the kids indoors. They decide to put on a play for their own amusement. Arguments over what play to put on and who will play what character hinder their progress until Yaya and Graziella introduce the concepts of auditions and cooperation.

Jonas has been diligently practicing basketball and becomes good at it. Other circumstances lead him to believe that he has a lucky button, to which he starts attributing his new found skill. The button -- and not his hard work practicing -- becomes the source of his confidence. When the button goes missing, Jonas loses confidence in himself and can't do anything right.

Today is the day Wimzie catches the flu that everyone else has already had. She's sent to bed but proves to be a very difficult patient, demanding service and attention from Yaya and everyone else. She also causes a puzzle tower that Jonas and the others are building to topple time and time again.

Wimzie and her friends desperately want a pet. Yaya wonders whether or not they are ready for the responsibility. The kids think they are, but Yaya decides to start them out with a fish they eventually name Fido. The kids agree to take care of the fish. But after the initial excitement, they soon grow tired of taking care of Fido.

When is it okay to tell a little lie? Ever? Wimzie blames Bo for spilling something she was told not to lift. Feeling badly about it, Wimzie confesses to Yaya, who tells her about the value of truth-telling. Later, Yaya fibs to a talkative phone friend in order to get ten minutes rest. Wimzie catches her in this lie.

The gang is going to put on a little show for the neighbourhood. Jonas has been told by a cousin that he's a rotten singer and dancer. This doesn't stop him from having fun play-acting with his friends, but doing it in front of strangers frightens him. He feigns a sore tonsil and twisted toe to get out of the performance.

This morning, Wimzie has some big fun planned. However, none of the kids show up: Horace is having a checkup, Jonas is visiting the school he may go to, and Loulou has a morning playdate with a neighbour's daughter. Wimzie goes crazy being alone, pestering Yaya and generally being underfoot.

Loulou is in awe of Wimzie's drawing skills and wants to draw a picture of Wimzie. Her attempts are mostly funny and totally off the mark. Meanwhile, Yaya finds her old guitar in the closet and plays it beautifully. Wimzie wants to learn to play like her grandma and gets her first lesson.
