Back To School:
Didi watches a Dr. Lipschitz video, which basically includes a few pointers on childcare, plus an obligatory plug for more videos. Afterward, she looks at her trusty Lipschitz book, but, when she notices the book's title, "Dr. Lipschitz A to Z, Birth to 5", she worries about what will happen when Tommy turns 6, as, of course, that book only covers children up to 5 years of age. Thinking that using Lipschitz as a crutch would turn dangerous in the years ahead, Didi decides to enroll at a community college for s in childhood development, with plans on eventually getting a masters degree in that field. However, when the Rugrats hears that Didi is going "back to school", they think that everything is going backwards, and they become more fearful of that fact when they observe Spike walking with a baby bottle in his mouth, and Stu taking Dil back to the hospital (in reality, for a checkup).

Sweet Dreams:
At a sleep-over at Tommy's house, the Rugrats have vivid dreams, except for Chuckie, whose dream was virtually blank. Later, when the Rugrats decided to play-act what they dreamed about, Chuckie said that they lost his dream, so he has the other Rugrats go looking for it.
Meanwhile, Chazz has a mid-life crisis, as his life is now perfect -- except for his long-time job as a bureaucrat. At Kira's recommendation, they decide to go into a business of their own, eventually deciding on buying a coffee shop and running it themselves.
Also, Stu wins a radio station trivia contest, in which he was rewarded with tickets for two to a Dreamboaters reunion concert. But, the excitement turns to panic when he misplaces the tickets.moreless

      • Beginning with this episode, the standard episode title card sequence is enhanced, with "zooming" effects on the title lettering as the title "splash" grows at the beginning and then shrinks away at the end.

      • This episode features Chazz & Kira announcing that they'll be going into the coffee-shop business, complete with a look at the shop before remodelling. However, in both production order and presentation order (in all countries that has shown these episodes), this episode was produced and seen after "The Fun Way Day", which features the opening of the coffee shop. Where continuity is concerned, this story was supposed to be seen before "The Fun Way Day". As for why the order got mixed up behind-the scenes -- nobody knows.
