Digital Ties that Bind

Digital Ties that Bind is the second segment of the eighth episode of season two of Team Pahkitew: Digimon Adventure.
== Summary ==
While playing with his friends, Impmon overhears Team Pahkitew talking with each other about getting rid of fourteen things and mistakingly believes that they're talking about their Digimon friends.
== Plot ==
The episode opens with Team Pahkitew bickering over what to keep or sell at their garage sale. Their argument is interrupted by the computer lighting up and Team Pahkitew decides to have their garage sale in DigiWorld since they can't decide in the real world on what to sell. They grab their things, go to the computer and turn on their Digivices, transporting to the Digital World.
Meanwhile, the Digimon are playing in a field, except for a sleeping Gatomon. Team Pahkitew arrives and Guilmon shouts "Jasmine!" before running up and hugging her. Gatomon is woken up by Guilmon's shout and scolds the dinosaur, but sees Ella and hugs her. Dorulumon notices the stuff Team Pahkitew brought and asks why they brought it. Shawn tells the Digimon that they're going to have their garage sale in DigiWorld since they can't decide on what to sell in the real world and the Digimon are pleased to hear this.
Later on, the Digimon play MonMon in the Middle, in which Impmon maneuvers and tries to catch the ball before his friends, he hears Team Pahkitew having an argument from a distance. Jasmine is demanding that Rodney gets rid of "all fourteen" at their garage sale. Impmon believes that she's talking about him and his fellow Digimon, and runs back on the playing field to tell them. What he doesn't know is that Jasmine is really telling Rodney to get rid of his collection of novelty neckties, even though he loves ties.
The others refuse to believe the imp, believing it to be paranoia, only to become convinced when Impmon has them listen to the argument out of context. Believing their wild and crazy natures are to blame, the Digimon decide to work together to give up their vices, and set up the garage sale. Afterward, they hear their human friends again, and it appears that Jasmine has decided that she won't get rid of them all...instead, she will only let Rodney keep one. As they decide which ones to get rid of, they single the Digimon out one by one until it apparently leaves Impmon as the one they'll keep.
Impmon is ecstatic that he's staying, much to the confusion and anger of the others. As they leave to pack up their things, Impmon hears Rodney saying that he can't pick a favorite, because it's hard, and Jasmine begs him to get rid of one. Rodney decides to get rid of "the one that's reddish pink" (in reality, it's a "red haron" tie from Easter). Believing that he's getting kicked out after all, Impmon sadly goes to pack up his belongings and prepares to run away from home, but he gives the others all of his most prized possessions.
Feeling sorry for their only imp friend, the others decide to confront their human friends about the issue. When they go to their human friends, the Digimon finally find out that they were really talking about ties. They confess to Team Pahkitew about their assumptions, and they reassure their Digimon that they wouldn't think of getting rid of them. Shoutmon and the other Digimon soon realize that Impmon has been making everyone eavesdrop on their human friends and glare at him, ready to beat him to a pulp. Impmon tries to apologize, but soon runs away screaming after Shoutmon yells "GET HIM!" and the Digimon chase after the imp.
Soon after this, a line of Digimon forms at the garage sale and Team Pahkitew commences to give them their old stuff. ExVeemon, one of the costumers, tells Team Pahkitew that he's happy that they made up their minds of what to sell at their garage sale on their own, but Rodney tells him that they had a little help from their Digimon. The episode ends with Team Pahkitew continuing their garage sale while a fight cloud consisting of their Digimon friends zooms back and forth.

* This is based on the Loud House episode, Ties that Bind, but the ending is similar to that of the Viva Piñata episode, Horstachio of a Different Color.
