The Journal (Hey Arnold!)

"The Journal" is a two-part episode of Hey Arnold!, and also the series' last episodes in production order. Originally aired as an hour-length special on November 11, 2002, the episode was meant to lead in to the events of Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie.
==Synopsis==
On the anniversary of the day his parents left him, Arnold finds a journal belonging to his father in the boarding house's attic. He and his grandparents read over the journal, which describes how Miles and Stella first met, their marriage, Arnold's birth, and other details of their life. On the final page of the journal, Arnold finds that it also contains a secret map revealing where they had to go after they left him.
==Notes==
* This episode and "April Fool's Day" were produced as three extra episodes to fill in the gap left when the planned three-part episode "Arnold Saves the Neighborhood" ended up becoming Hey Arnold!: The Movie. As such, this episode and "April Fool's Day" are the only episodes that take place after the movie.
