Part One continued.

Wishbone, not wearing his collar, gets taken to the pound where he meets a beautiful female dog named Rosie. The inside story is that of ""romeo and Juliet"" by William Shakespeare

David overloads on responsibilities and doesnt understand the wisdom of asking for help. Wishbone explores the power of wisdom as it lies within two African-American folk tales.

Wishbone searches for a wandering dog who is wreaking havoc with garbage cans and items in peoples yards and porches. Wishbone imagines himself as Sherlock Holmes in ""The Hound of the Baskervilles"", where he works to track down a murderer who uses a giant hound to commit his crimes.

Guilt by association haunts Wishbone in his dream of A Tale of Two Cities.

Wishbone digs for Wanda, turning the day into the pages of Jules Vernes Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Secrets abound in all people. Wanda and Mr. Pruitt find that out themselves, as does Wishbone in his visions of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Joe has a substitute teacher for his class, who he likes a lot. After a word puzzle he makes up about her gets snatched, courtesy of Curtis, Joe must get it back before anyone sees it. Meanwhile, Wishbone tears the living room upside down looking for his toy newspaper, which is right under his nose the whole time, just like where the stolen letter is hidden in todays story ""The Purloined Letter"" by Edgar Allen Poe

When Joe gets under the crosshairs for what appears to be a good deed, Wishbone imagines himself as Robin Hood.

Its another tale in Twain for Wishbone, playing both The Prince and the Pauper.

Samantha convinces Joe and David to help her look for a ""magic"" horseshoe that is rumored to be nailed somewhere inside an old rickety barn in a remote wooded area of Oakdale. Wishbone notes Sams adventurous spirit and her eager determination to fulfill her quest, and compares her to Jim Hawkins in Robert Louis Stevensons book ""Treasure Island"".

Wishbone is Sherlock Holmes, deftly trying to stop a mastermind from the pages of A Scandal in Bohemia while Samantha is unwillingly tangled in a scandal at Oakdale.

David runs into no end of problems while staging a production of Shakespeares The Tempest.

While Samantha seeks the perfect gift for her fathers birthday, Wishbone plays up Hercules, seeking the Golden Apples of the Hesperides.

Based on a portion of the epic poem ""Metamorphoses,"" by the ancient Roman poet Ovid, this episode focuses on the story of King Midas.

The obligatory flashback episode (and the only best-of the series would ever see).
