Synopsis[]
After their bed gets destroyed, Doug and Carrie sleep in separate beds and enjoy their time apart from each other.
Storyline[]
Doug and Carrie's bed breaks down and as a temporary solution they borrow the beds from Deacon's children who don't need them anymore. The sleeping apart turns out to be a real eye-opener and they start to do more things by themselves. Meanwhile, Arthur discovers a window in the basement and finds out neighbor Lou Ferrigno is a real gossip.

Goofs[]
- Continuity
- When Arthur is showing Holly the new window, the box of Nilla wafers changes position on the table between shots.
- Arthur makes a great deal about finally having a window in the basement, but in earlier episodes there is a window at the bottom of the stairs and another in the wall opposite Arthur's bed.
- Miscellaneous
- When Arthur is watching Lou Ferrigno out of the basement window talking with various people the backdrop is an obvious painting.
- Reaveling mistakes
- There is mention of the front door being in the middle or on the side. In the 5th season's finale, Doug and Carrie are on their way to dinner and exit the front of the house. The door is in the middle with windows on either side.
