Synopsis[]
It is week three of the IPS strike, and Doug has just been hanging around the house for all three of them. Deacon has also been out of work and Kelly has had enough of his laziness. Carrie and Kelly decide to have Arthur, Doug, and Deacon spend the whole day together. However, their plan backfires, because the three of them become uncontrollable delinquents. In the end, the strike is ended.
Storyline[]
The IPS strike has dragged on into its third week, and both Doug and Deacon are spending the majority of their days doing very little outside of sleeping all day. Carrie and Kelly decide to make a play date with Doug, Deacon and Arthur, but the plan backfires when they turn into a trio of merry pranksters. Doug gets tired and annoyed when Deacon's son activates his See N Say on the same animal. Doug gets upset because the See N Say stops on the cow, and so he and Arthur decide to play roulette with the See N Say. Doug chooses the frog, Deacon is the sheep, and Arthur is the pig. Eventually, the strike ends, as Doug and Deacon return to work, leaving Arthur alone.

Trivia[]
Goofs[]
- Revealing mistakes
The "Farmer Says" toy, with the animal sounds, is not working correctly. The farmer's voice and animal sounds should be played as the string is working its way back into the machine, rather than after it's wound back in the machine.
