Recap

Steve and Blue invite the viewers into the Blue's Clues house. They were making newspaper hats. Blue wanted to make something else. They play a game of Blue's Clues to figure out what Blue wants to make. Steve gets his notebook from Sidetable Drawer and then he starts looking for the three clues. He found a very long strand of yarn and followed it to the kitchen table, where he sees a paw print at the end of the yarn line, meaning that the first clue is yarn. Steve and Blue then help Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper with a macaroni picture frame with a pattern sequence. Mailbox then came to deliver the mail. In the Video Letter segment, some kids were making newspaper hats too (Steve and Blue did that earlier). After that, Steve found the second clue on some buttons. Next, Steve helped the Felt Friends figure out what their masterpieces are. Afterward, he and Blue Skidoo into the bakery to help out Bowl and Spatula make banana cake. They gather the right ingredients to make banana cake. After that, Steve tried to skidoo back home and slips on a red sock (which was among the ingredients earlier) revealing a paw print on it. Steve then sees that the sock is the third clue and draws it in his notebook. Now Steve had to skidoo back home to put all the clues together. The clues were yarn, buttons, and a sock. Steve thought Blue wanted to button up the sock with yarn. But the answer was making a sock puppet. They make sock puppets by the craft table. Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper come by with their sock puppet, Steve sees that the Felt Friends are making a masterpiece of the sock puppet, and Bowl and Spatula arrive with the finished banana cake. After that, Steve and the sock puppet sing the So Long Song and the episode ends.

Trivia

  • Coordinating Producer Penelope Jewkes is one of Steve's Friends in this episode.
  • After fourteen episodes, Blue hides somewhere different in the intro.
    • She hides behind the house and will continue to do so for the rest of this season.
  • The Felt Friends made masterpieces with their shapes, like a sunflower and an ice cream cone.
  • In the living room picture of the bakery, the cupcakes are on the leftmost side of the bottom shelf beneath the gingerbread men on the middle shelf, and the chocolate cakes were on the rightmost side of the middle shelf next to the donuts and between the apple pie on the top shelf and the cinnamon rolls on the bottom shelf when the picture was close up. While inside the bakery, the cupcakes and chocolate cakes swapped places
  • After only fourteen episodes, the lyrics to the Play Blue's Clues song get updated to the most common one played until the season six episode "Love Day".
    • Even though the Blue's Clues theme song has changed, the retro format of the kids shouting, "Blue’s Clues!” (until the season finale, "Blue's News", and the last time to have the viewers sing the theme song were in the Season 2 episodes, "Steve Gets the Sniffles" and "Blue's Birthday". Joe, however, says that part in "Joe Gets a Clue" during the theme song, although he doesn't say it again before the third clue part) and the message from Steve after getting the notebook when he stands up in front of the walls (until the later Season 2 finale "Mechanics!") has remained. The only other thing that has changed is his haircut but with a refreshed version of the same one as early Season 1 episodes.
  • This is the fifth episode to use the usual "No, it's a clue" line from "Adventures in Art".
  • Blue barked twice with the updated theme lyrics but was later put into permanent use in "What Does Blue Want to Build?".
  • This episode introduces Steve's sock puppet, which we will see again in several future episodes, including Puppets.
  • In the Mailtime segment, Mailbox pops in wearing a newspaper hat that Blue made for him.
  • In the Mailtime song, Steve's design from early-mid season one is used.
  • Steve's hair becomes shorter in this episode, but in "Pretend Time", "A Snowy Day", "The Grow Show" and "Blue Wants to Play a Song Game", they are some re-shots of scenes that has Steve's hair introduced here.
  • Mr. Salt appeared in the Skidoo scene to add "a pinch of salt". He wasn't seen skidooing until "Café Blue", but if this counts, this makes him the first character to skidoo along with Steve and Blue.
  • Starting with this episode, when Steve tells the viewers he needs their help figuring out the clues, he is wearing his late-Season 1-early Season 2 hair (in the season two color scheme). This also happens during the theme song, which also happens for the rest of Season 1 and in some episodes of Season 2, "Steve Gets the Sniffles", "Blue's Senses", "What Experiment Does Blue Want to Try?", "Math!", and "Blue's Birthday".
  • This is the first episode where the third clue (which is not an audio clue) is seen without the pawprint after Steve draws it (not counting the third clue from Blue's Story Time, where the pawprint is still seen until Steve Skidoos back home).
  • Clips from this episode were seen in the story that Josh read in this video on the Blue's Clues & You! YouTube channel. Josh would later retell the story in the Story Time with Josh & Blue episode "Crafting Clues with Steve".

    • This also happens when Steve gets his notebook from Sidetable Drawer.
  • When Steve follows the yarn, there is another glitch where Steve appears to be walking outside the background of the kitchen.
  • When Steve says "it smells like, bananas." the last glitch is shown where his legs were cut off.
  • The OST is different for this episode.
  • During the Mailtime segment, part of the left side of the thinking chair is also cut off.
  • In the bakery, when Steve says "Uh," there is a slight echo.
