Character Introduced[]
Summary[]
On Kimi's 2nd birthday, the babies search for her birthday cake without knowing that their parents are holding the cake!
Plot[]
The episode begins at the Pickles' home, where Chas and Kira are planning Kimi's birthday party at a birthday place known as the Happy Castle. Didi has made a birthday cake, a Reptar-themed ice cream cake for Kimi's birthday. Taffy announces that she has to leave her babysitting job early because her band has a gig at a teenage castle club. Chas, Kira, and Didi leave for the Happy Castle and Stu was left to bring Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Kimi there; however, Stu accidentally brings the kids to Taffy's gig due to him not paying attention because of his newly invented P.U.S.S. (Pickles Ultimate Satellite System). As Didi and Stu try to figure out where the other is by using the P.U.S.S., the babies look for things at the club that would seem fit for Kimi's birthday (balloons and cake). Didi, Chas, and Kira come with Dil and the ice cream cake and, while they look for the kids, the children find and eat the melted remains of the Reptar ice cream cake; the adults later find them and enjoy the party. The episode ends as Taffy sings a birthday song to Kimi.
Trivia[]

- This is also the 6th and final birthday episode in the series after "Tommy's First Birthday," "Angelica's Birthday," "America's Wackiest Home Movies," "A Very McNulty Birthday," and "Baking Dil."
- "Coup DeVille," "Lucky 13," and "Separate But Equal" would be the 7th, 8th and 9th birthday episodes, during All Grown Up! Two of them takes place on Phil and Lil's birthday while Lucky 13 takes place on Angelica's birthday.

- This is the last episode of the original Rugrats series on television, making it the 'series finale'.
- This also marks the final appearance of Tommy, Chuckie, Kimi, Phil, Lil, Taffy, Dil, Stu, Didi, Chas, and Kira in Rugrats.
- This is also the final onscreen appearance of Taffy as she doesn't appear in Rugrats Pre-School Daze, All Grown Up!, and, as of yet, the 2021 series.
- Taffy not appearing in All Grown Up! makes sense, since the babies would be too old to have babysitters.
- This is also the final onscreen appearance of Taffy as she doesn't appear in Rugrats Pre-School Daze, All Grown Up!, and, as of yet, the 2021 series.
- Chuckie gets the final line of Rugrats: "Happy Birthday, Kimi!".
- Stu had the first line in the series, which was "Good morning, Champ (Tommy)", followed by him and Didi both saying, "Happy Birthday, Tommy!".

- Chronologically by airdate, the honor goes to the episode "For Here or to Go".
- For the longest time, this episode and its sister episode, "Fountain of Youth," didn't rerun on NickRewind for unknown reasons until June 3, 2021, when they were finally aired. The block aired them again on June 24, 2021, which means that should remain and continue to air regularly on the NickRewind block.
