Sister's Got a Brand New Bag is the first segment of the sixth episode in season 2 of Dexter's Laboratory. It first aired on August 20, 1997.
In this episode, Dee Dee becomes bent on showing a dance she saw on Groove Train to Dexter, who has no interest in watching her dance.
Plot[]
Dee Dee is in the living room watching Groove Train. She's uninterested in most of the dances shown until Big Daddy Fat appears on screen and starts to perform a reverse moonwalk while pumping his fists. Dee Dee then does the dance, and after performing it, she excitedly runs to show it to Dexter.
In Dexter's laboratory, he is using an automatic screwdriver to test out his newest invention until Dee Dee pops in wanting to show him the dance she saw on Groove Train. Dexter, having no interest, uses a forklift to carry Dee Dee out of her lab and locks her out using a series of doors. As Dexter heads back to work, Dee Dee suddenly appears in front of him doing her dance, to which he runs off. As Dexter activates an enlargement ray, Dee Dee appears in front of him performing her dance. He again shows no interest in watching it and goes to get his freeze tank.
While in the freeze tank, Dexter fires several icy shots at Dee Dee, who swiftly moves out of the way. With the lab shrouded in ice, Dexter runs out of the freeze tank and heads to a pneumatic tube leading to a submersible. As it goes to the depths, Dexter prepares to get back to work until he hears three loud thuds from the outside. When Dexter goes to look out the window, he sees Dee Dee in scuba gear performing her dance, then uses the submersible to rapidly ascend to the surface. He then enters a space pod and heads into space. As Dexter floats out of his pod feeling content, he sees that Dee Dee has followed him to space.
Dexter, after returning to the space pod, rapidly descends to his laboratory. After being cornered, Dexter finally agrees to watch Dee Dee's dance. He becomes impressed by it afterwards and the two go back to what they were doing.
