Recap[]

As we enter Blue's Room, Blue greets us and says that we are just in time for her party, a special party for family members. She walks over to a brightly decorated table where Fred, Polka Dots, Joe and Mailbox are seated. She explains that her party is a party for everyone she knows, and all their families. She asks who is in the our family, and comments how nice they sound. More guests arrive. First, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, Paprika and Cinnamon, then Roary and his grandmother, who has baked a sweet potato pie for the occasion, and finally Shovel and Pail. The party is about to get underway when Mailbox and Roary notice that there is still one vacant place at the table. Joe explains that that chair is being saved for the guest of honor; someone really special in Blue’s family. Blue asks if the viewer wants to know who, and after a bit of coaxing, reveals that she has a new baby brother. Everyone is shocked and ecstatic at this news. Polka Dots asks where he is. Blue and Joe get up from the table, but Joe didn't say to the party "We'll be right back!". They walk over to a picture on the wall, and Blue announces that her baby brother was born in a location called Puppyville, accessible through the painting. Blue and Joe skidoo into Puppyville.

Once there, they start asking each puppy they see if they are Blue's brother. The puppies only say that they could be and are not sure. Blue wonders aloud how they will find Blue's baby brother. Suddenly, a large gold pawprint appears. Blue and Joe realize what it means almost instantly: to find Blue’s baby brother, they need to play a special version of Blue’s Clues called, "Gold Clues" to figure out who he is. Both Blue and Joe are excited at this prospect. As they review the rules of the game, Joe is given a Gold Handy Dandy Notebook, and they discover a golden Thinking Chair on top of a hill. Joe excitedly asks where they should look for Gold Clues. A train whistle sounds, and a few puppies tell them to take the Puppyville Express, as it is the quickest way to get all around Puppyville.

As Blue and Joe say goodbye to the puppies, Blue spots a little white puppy hiding behind a bush. Blue and Joe go over to say hi, but the puppy ducks down behind the bush. Deducing that he must be shy and/or scared, Joe and Blue gently tell him their names and invite the viewer to do the same. The puppy slowly comes out of hiding and says that his name is Sprinkles. When Blue asks what he's up to, Sprinkles explains that he is here at the train station because he has no spots, and is going on an adventure to try and get some. Joe and Blue invite him to come along with them. Sprinkles joyfully accepts by yapping and the group hop on the train.

After a few minutes, the train arrives at the first stop, Alphabet City, a city where all the buildings are shaped like alphabet letters. They quickly meet another puppy, ABC Puppy, who formally welcomes them to Alphabet City. They search for the first gold clue and see a gold pawprint on some balloons. The balloons start to float away. Joe runs over to grab them and is pulled into the sky. ABC Puppy whistles for a taxi so they can chase after Joe and the balloons. He explains that the only way to make the taxi cab move is to follow the alphabet. Sprinkles admits that he doesn’t know the alphabet yet. Blue offers to help, and they say the letters, stopping along the way to remember what letter comes next. When they finish, Blue compliments Sprinkles on his good work, and Sprinkles excitedly confirms that he has learned his letters. Suddenly, there is a bright flash, and pink spots appear on Sprinkles as a reward for learning his letters. Sprinkles is confused about how this could have happened, but Blue realizes it must have been because he learned his letters. As Sprinkles howls with excitement and sings that he's got spots, Joe finally starts to float down and is rescued by all three puppies. Joe notices that the balloons are letters and they're spelling a word. ABC Puppy reads it and realizes it spells the word "PUPPY". Joe writes down the word "PUPPY" in his notebook. Joe congratulates Sprinkles on his spots, and he, Blue, and Sprinkles say goodbye to ABC Puppy and board the train for their next location: location number two.

The next stop is Color Town. When they get off the train, they meet Colors Puppy, who leads them over to his latest project, a special rainbow shortcut to Numbers Kingdom. The trouble is it's not fully painted. Colors Puppy explains that the colors: red, green, and purple are missing. Sprinkles offers to fix the rainbow, but admits that he does not know his colors yet. Blue offers to help. Using colorful clouds and a giant paintbrush, we soon find and mix the right colors to complete the rainbow. Blue compliments Sprinkles, and with another flash, orange spots appear on Sprinkles as a reward for learning his colors. After this, Colors Puppy invites them to take his shortcut, and Joe quickly slides up the rainbow. Sprinkles admits he is nervous, and Blue offers to ride with him.

On the count of three, they both slide up the rainbow and down the other side into Numbers Kingdom. They quickly meet Princess of Numbers Puppy, and Joe decides to dress the part, returning in full armor as Knight Joe and speaking in medieval lingo. Princess of Numbers Puppy offers to show them through her castle, but says that they must know the Clapping Codes to get through the doors. Seeing that these codes involve numbers, Sprinkles admits he does not know his numbers yet. Blue offers to help, and using their numeracy skills, they clap down each door, even use simple addition to get through the tower door. Once all the doors have been opened, Sprinkles receives purple spots as a reward for learning his numbers. Then, they saw a gold pawprint with a few circles, and Joe draws them in the notebook. Joe changes out of his knight costume, and they board the train.

The next stop is Shapes Forest. They meet Shapes Puppy, who tells them that they must reach a nearby Island because the final pawprint was there. To do so, he says, they must build a sailboat out of shapes. Luckily, the Shapes Forest has shapes in abundance. Sprinkles asks if he can help, so Blue and Joe help him locate the perfect shapes to make a seaworthy vessel, even folding a square to create the shape we need for the sail. Once the sailboat is complete, Sprinkles receives yellow spots as a reward for learning his shapes. Joe dresses up as a boat captain and the three of them hop in the boat and blow it across the water to the island. Once there, Sprinkles plays a coconut shell game to find the third and last Gold Clue: a bunch of colors.

All three excitedly hop back on the train. It chugs all the way back through Puppyville and up the hill, stopping in front of the Golden Thinking Chair as the last stop. As all three hop out, all the Puppyville puppies arrive to watch Blue and Joe sit in the chair to answer the most important question of all, which is "Who is Blue's new brother?" Blue and Joe conclude that it must be a puppy that has spots that are all different colors. But who could it be? They then realize that Blue's new brother must be Sprinkles!

Sprinkles suddenly sticks his head over the edge of the chair, eager to know who Blue's baby brother is. Joe leaves his seat, and Sprinkles sits next to Blue in the Thinking Chair. The viewer and Blue tell him the incredible news, Sprinkles is Blue's brother. Sprinkles is shocked, and it is confirmed when there is one final flash, and blue spots appear on Sprinkles, just like Blue's as a reward for being her baby brother. Everyone sings with delight as Sprinkles and his big sister unite in song.

Everyone in Puppyville says goodbye to Sprinkles, Blue, and Joe, leaving the location and skidooing back home to Blue's Room, where Blue introduces everyone to her new brother. Joe officially kicks off the family party, and Sprinkles joins his sister at the head of the table as the guest of honor. The whole room begins to dance in celebration. Blue and Sprinkles thank the viewer for helping them find each other but didn't say goodbye as the episode ends.

Trivia[]

  • This episode doubled its length because it is longer than others, being at about 50 minutes. (almost one hour)
  • Though officially a crossover between Blue's Clues and Blue's Room, even being counted as an episode of both shows each, this episode is more classified as an episode of the latter show rather than the former show.
    • As such, Blue appears in puppet form and talks throughout the special. This is the only time in the real Blue's Clues series where Blue is only in her puppet form and not in her 2D animated form.
      • With that being said, this is also the second Blue's Clues episode where Blue gets to be the hostess of an episode and sits in the thinking chair during the Thinking Time segment. The first time where Blue was the hostess was in "Joe's Clues".
        • Unlike in the aforementioned episode, where Blue switched roles with Joe and vice versa, here, she (along with Sprinkles) co-hosts this episode with Joe.
          • This is likely due to the game of Gold Clues depicting both the clues and the pawprints to be enchanted and coming out of nowhere, combined with the fact Blue is only seen in her puppet form throughout the entire episode.
    • This episode is even placed with the rest of all the other Blue's Room episodes on Paramount+.
  • This episode was made to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Blue's Clues. As such, a couple tributes to the show are seen in this episode:
  • This is the Blue's Room version of Skidoo Adventure.
  • This episode uses an instrumental version of Another Blue's Clues Day, marking the last episode where it is heard
  • However, Joe would later wear a different purple shirt in Blue's Clues & You!.
  • This is the second and final Season Six episode in which the Goodbye Song wasn't sung, the other being "The Legend of the Blue Puppy".
  • This is the final time we see Mailbox, the Shaker family, Shovel, and Pail as 2D animated characters, as they appear nowhere in Blue's Room and Blue's Clues & You! is animated in CGI.
  • While the viewers aren't heard in this special like in the Blue's Room episodes and segments, the characters still interact with them.
  • This special eventually reran at 10:00 AM EST on the Nick Jr. block the next day after it's primetime premiere, and on August 11, 2006.
  • This is also the first time that we see the Blue's Room House unlike in Blue's Clues Season 6 where a Box was shown and Season 1 of Blue's Room.
  • This is the only Blue's Clues episode where Joe uses different colored crayons to draw the clues.
    • He used three different colors; pink, orange, and purple to draw the third clue, which is colors.
    • This is the second episode, after "Bugs" to feature three colors as one clue which causes the host to hold three colored crayons at once to make swirls.
  • It is unknown if Sprinkles now lives with the rest of the Blue's Clues family. However, the episode, "Sprinkles' Sleepover" seems to imply he does even though he never appears in the reboot.
  • In the original airing, there was a prologue featuring clips of the episode "The Legend of the Blue Puppy", this isn't seen in later airings/home media releases.
  • In some original episodes, the clue is visible before the paw print appears on it, or the paw print represents the clue itself; but for the 3rd clue in this episode (and the only time so far), the paw print appears 1st, and then reveals the clue before attaching itself to it.
  • This is the first and only time Blue's Clues uses the Out of the Blue Enterprises logo and the second time Blue's Clues borrows the 2005-2009 Nick Jr. Productions puddle logo (which first appeared in "Go, Diego, Go!").
    • In 2006, Golden Book made Baby Brother Surprise!, a coloring book inspired by this special episode.
    • This special was dedicated to the loving memory of animator Paul Beard, who died on April 22, 2005, before these logos play.
    • The same logo combo would later appear for all of Season 2 Blue's Room.
  • This was the only time the Puppyville Puppies made their appearance in Blue's Clues.
    • They have since made several appearances in Blue's Room episodes.
  • An inanimate version of Mailbox appears at the Shapes Forest train station.
  • This is the second time in the franchise where all 3 clues appeared in the skidoo segment, the first being "The Fairy Tale Ball".
  • Although Sprinkles was a baby puppy, he was able to speak.
  • Sprinkles is smaller than Blue, has ears almost similar to hers, and is the only puppy in Puppyville whom Blue does not ask is her baby brother. These serve as a foreshadowing that Sprinkles is the brother himself.
  • This is the last time We Sat On Down was sung until the Blue's Clues & You! remake of Bluestock.
  • Colors was rumored to be "Blue's last clue". It was until "Meet Josh!" came out.
  • This is the only Blue's Clues episode to be air in 2006 (and the final one at that).
  • There would've been even more characters present if any of these absent characters were to show up for the family party. Characters who did not show up at the party include:
  • The blastoff music from Pretend Time plays as Sprinkles and Blue chase Joe on the rainbow, which is the fastest way to Numbers Kingdom before Joe joins them.
