Ep 9. The Great Pretender

Bear in the Big Blue House season 2 episode 9 is called "The Great Pretender". In this episode, Bear decides to throw a costume party for all of his friends in the Big Blue House. They all come up with fun and creative costumes, ranging from a superhero to a pirate to a clown. However, when Pip and Pop, the two otters, show up in the same costume, they start to argue and compete with each other to prove who is the real "great pretender".

Bear sees that his friends are not getting along and decides to intervene. He explains to Pip and Pop that it's not about who has the best costume, but rather about having fun and enjoying the party with their friends. They realize that he is right and apologize to each other, deciding to share the costume.

As the party continues, everyone has a great time dancing, playing games, and eating snacks. However, Ojo, the bear cub, starts to feel a little left out because she doesn't have a costume. She feels like she doesn't fit in with everyone else, but Bear reminds her that she is important and loved just as she is. He makes her a special costume out of a cardboard box and markers, and she is thrilled to be included in the fun.

In the end, the party is a huge success, and everyone leaves feeling happy and fulfilled. Bear teaches his friends an important lesson about acceptance and friendship, reminding them that it's not about what you look like or what you wear, but rather about who you are as a person. The episode ends with a sweet song about how different types of people come together to create a beautiful community.
