Steve invites us in, saying that something very mysterious happened. We get a flashback sequence in which he and Blue were outside playing Kick the Ball when Blue kicked the ball really far and he went to go get it. He found a cardboard box and a stack of logs - it looks like someone has been building a fort in the backyard of the Blue's Clues house, but he has no idea who built it. He didn't build and Blue didn't. He wonders if we built it, but we say that we didn't. So it's a mystery, one that we want to solve. In this episode, we put on our detective hat and search around for clues to help us figure out the answer to this big mystery. We follow a tip from Mr. Salt and find a leaf. Using logic and observation, we match it to the proper tree that it came from, choosing from narrowing sets of trees. We also find signs of activity at the house next door to the Blue's Clues house - could somebody be moving on? Finally, signs of growth of the fort lead us closer to solving the case.

In this episode, Steve plays Blue's Clues to figure out who the mystery builder is. The three clues in this episode are:

Clue 1: [highlight to see]Footprints[/highlight to see]

Clue 2: [highlight to see]A Tail[/highlight to see]

Clue 3: [highlight to see]A Picture (Of Ears)[/highlight to see]

Based on one or more of these clues, can you figure out who the mystery builder is? The correct answer is:
[highlight to see]A Kitten[/highlight to see]

Epilogue: Now that we know what we're looking for, we head outside and find the kitten. It takes Steve and Blue a minute to find him, but once they do, Steve asks him for his name. He asks for our names and we tell him and he introduces himself as Periwinkle. It turns out he's moved in next door and has been building his fort outside, not knowing anything about his new neighbors. Mr. Salt takes a picture of him and Blue - new friends.
