Here we go. It’s the final episode of Hey Arnold! as a TV show – not including the movies – and it’s a doozy of a Stoop Kidz! episode, too. Arnold learns more about his parents’ mission to help save the Green-Eyed People of San Lorenzo – the mission that would take them away from him seemingly forever. Join Cody, Emily, and Harry as they dive one last time into an episode of the cartoon that gave them so many beloved childhood memories.

King of the Fools Dylan Guerber returns to the stoop for one final time! Arnold and Helga’s April 1 prank one-upmanship mirrors the secrets they keep from each other in “April Fool’s Day,” where Helga’s not-so-innocent practical jokes escalate tension between the two. In our discussion of this half-hour special, we discuss its place in the story of Arnold and Helga, its development, and the pranks we pulled in our own youth!

Arnold has to face his on-again off-again crush on Lila once and for all when he starts getting attention from an unexpected source: Gerald’s little sister! “Timberly Loves Arnold” is a bit all over the place (didn’t we close the book on #LilArnold? Why’s Gerald so absent? Why’s Sid gotta be so creepy?), but it does get the Kidz a bit nostalgic for the social awkwardness of childhood crushes and sibling tag-alongs. Timberly’s good people. “Eugene, Eugene!” dramatizes the relationships among the kids of P.S. 118 when theater director (and Mr. Simmons’s archrival) Mr. Leichliter brings a production of the titular stage play to the school. Spurned by a former love, Leichliter changes the ending of the play so the bad guy (Arnold) gets the girl (Lila) – and long-suffering Eugene won’t stand for it. In our discussion, we talk about the framing of narratives as school play, how inconsequential Helga is, and how cool Tim Curry is.

Seth’s back on the stoop and he’s got COOTIES in this very special episode of Stoop Kidz! Rhonda’s origami game predicts each kid’s perfect matrimonial pair in “Married”. That’s right – she knows exactly who’s gonna tie the knot with whom, somewhere down the line: Peapod Kid and Nadine; Sheena and Eugene; Arnold and Helga… wait, WHAT??? The rest of the episode plays out in opposing dream sequences: Helga’s vision of her perfect married life and Arnold’s depressingly dour subconscious. But even more interesting than the things we get to see (the kids of PS 118 “all growed up”) is what their dreams say about the feelings football-headed boy and his pining potential paramour: The kinds of things they can admit to themselves, how they confront their deeply held insecurities, and “Married” as a microcosm for the show’s central conflict.

“A Day in the Life of a Classroom” questions the definition of “perfect” at P.S. 118 when a documentary crew wants to capture an exemplary day in Mr. Simmons’s classroom! Mr. Simmons takes it a little too literally – think cinéma vérité with less of the vérité. Big Bob tries a little too hard to change his ways after a close call with a gas attack(?) in “Big Bob’s Crisis.” But is selling your earthly possessions and moving your entire family to an Oregon commune better than just going to therapy and listening to your children?

Allegra gets back in front of the mic and DOESN’T embarrass herself on this episode of Stoop Kidz! Phoebe, however, DOES embarrass herself when her nervous flatulence gets picked up on mic in front of a large audience. (Podcast editor’s note: That’s one heck of a microphone.) Can Arnold help Grandpa get back his precious Packard after it’s pilfered by some punk playing at payback? Can the automobile’s many quirks help the duo prove it was stolen? How many Dashiell Hammett references can they stuff in an episode of Hey Arnold!? These questions and more in “Grandpa’s Packard”!

Erica Csuy and Ellie DeMuth are back on the Stoop! “On the Lam” sees Harold, Stinky, and Sid on the run after assuming they blew up the police station (ACAB) with science project rockets. (They didn’t. L.) In “Family Man”, Mr. Hyunh tries so hard to get a promotion at his restaurant job that he pretends Suzie is his wife, Arnold is his son, and Grandpa is his father to appease the boss, Mr. Camacho. But the boarders at Sunset Arms kind of already ARE his family, in a way!

Glueboy – Arnold, Oskar, and Mr. Hyunh’s new racing horse – is no racing horse. So it’s their job to get the mule(!) up to racing shape in “The Racing Mule”! The Kidz! are a lot less ambivalent about “Curly’s Girl”, where Curly’s childish, more than mildly creepy notions of “liking someone” take center stage with Rhonda as the victim. When Curly does Rhonda a solid by covering her when she ruins her mom’s expensive coat, he more or less blackmails the little aristocrat into pretending to be his girlfriend. Ew!

Harold loses to Patty in an arm-wrestling match – twice – before asking her for some training in “Harold vs. Patty”. A pretty weird version of the father/son dynamic appears in “Rich Guy,” when Arnold catches a hockey puck bound for wealthy team owner Sammy Redman’s head and becomes. Here’s a REAL million-dollar idea, Sammy: Repair your relationship with your own dang son first! If you like Stoop Kidz!, tell a friend about our show and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

If today’s guest had an Arnie, she might be named Anna: Hannah Borenstein returns for another Stoop Kidz! double-header! We meet more of Arnie’s friends, who look and sound suspiciously like the kids of Hillwood, in “Arnold Visits Arnie”: Lulu, Hilda, and Arnie reflect some of Arnold’s deepest anxieties. Hot tip: Maybe don’t go see a movie called Evil Twin 3 when you have a weird cousin who kinda looks like you. Then, Arnold puts his do-goodery to work helping Chocolate Boy address his well-known vice in “Chocolate Boy”!

Charlie realized that not being a guest on Stoop Kidz! isn’t so cool after all, so she climbed up to our window, built a giant slingshot, put on a pizza delivery disguise, and straight-up BEGGED to be back on! Actually, that’s just what Harold does to get back into school in “Suspended”. Not even the school constitution can help lift Harold’s weeks-long ban from school! Short guy Ernie just wants a tall wife in “Ernie in Love,” but he gets a little overzealous in dating Lola. She’s just not that into him, and they’d look strange together, and you can’t really talk about attraction in a kids’ cartoon – but there might be a positive message to read in Ernie and Lola’s tryst, and we wanted to get to the heart of it!
