## Recap

Diego, his family, and Baby Jaguar are all at the Monarch Butterfly Festival. Diego is waiting for all the monarchs to arrive for the winter, while Alicia is using a butterfly calculator to count them. Just then, Diego gets a call from Dora telling him that a baby monarch won't come out of her cocoon. Diego transforms Rescue Pack into a supersonic hang glider and counts down from five. ¡Al rescate! Diego and Dora are at the Snowy Mountain. The caterpillar turns into a monarch butterfly! Baby Monarch's wings are wet, but Dora and Diego helped her to dry them off. Dora and Diego had to check map for directions on how to get to the Monarch Butterfly Festival so they asked Map for help, just like they did in Diego's Great Dinosaur Rescue and Diego and Dora Save the Giant Tortoises. Map says that first they need to go through the desert, then go over the swamp, and soon Dora and Diego will get to the Monarch Butterfly Festival. Diego and Dora sing the "Fly, Fly, Fly" song. Baby Monarch sees the other butterflies, but they're going the wrong way. Diego has to check his butterfly book to look for the monarch butterfly. Dora pulls out her megaphone to call out to Baby Monarch that she is going the wrong way. Baby Monarch waves goodbye to the queen butterflies. Diego, Dora, and Baby Monarch arrive at the desert and they transform into regular clothes now. Baby Monarch is getting a little tired and hungry and she's falling on a prickly cactus. Backpack says to catch something. Backpack will need a net to catch the butterfly. Baby Monarch drinks flower nectar. Diego, Dora, and Baby Monarch are at the swamp. Monarch butterflies are afraid of crows. Baby Monarch has to flap her wings to get to the Butterfly Festival. Diego and the family are at the Butterfly Festival, watching the fireworks. This is the best monarch butterfly festival ever!

## Trivia

* This is the first episode since the *Dora the Explorer* episode, "Hide and Go Seek (In production order)" and "León, the Circus Lion (In airing order)" and the first and only *Go, Diego, Go!* episode where Map sings his Seasons 1-2 version of I'm The Map. However, unlike Season 1-2, at the beginning stanza, there are the first seven notes of the song and he sings it normally, and he does not say "So you tell Dora". He still says "So remember", just like from the Season 2 episode "Whose Birthday is It?" and Season 3 onwards of *Dora the Explorer*.
* Map's dancing is recycled from Season 2 of *Dora the Explorer*, from the following episodes:
	+ Lost Squeaky
	+ The Missing Piece
	+ The Big Storm
	+ The Golden Explorers
	+ Doctor Dora
	+ The Big Piñata
	+ A Letter for Swiper
	+ ¡Rápido, Tico!
	+ Hide and Go Seek (the last episode (in production order) that the Legacy version of his song was featured in)
	+ León, the Circus Lion (the last episode (in airing order) that the Legacy version of his song was featured in)
* This is the last episode in airing order to feature the original cast. If one goes by production order, it would be The Great Polar Bear Rescue.
	+ However, in airing order, Jake T. Austin will return to voice Diego once more in the series finale Eygptian Camel Adventure.
* This is also the **final** time Kathleen Herles provided the voice of Dora in any *Dora the Explorer* media, not counting any held back episodes. Otherwise, it would be Swiper the Explorer, which premiered in March 2010.
* Click, Boots, Swiper, the Fiesta Trio and the Bobo Brothers don't appear in this episode.
	+ Additionally, the Blue Cursor does not appear to click on the places as soon as they appear.
		- Also, the Fiesta Trio does not play their fanfare after passing the desert and the swamp.
* In production order, this is the fifth time that Dora appears within the *Go, Diego, Go!* series and the fourth time without Boots. In airing order, this is the seventh and final time that she appears in the series and the sixth time without Boots.
* This episode was released on DVD on August 26, 2008 and premiered on Nickelodeon on November 25, 2009.
* A fireworks sound effect is heard when they complete their rescue.
* Diego doesn't say, "Excelente" during the animal end song in this episode. He instead says, "Yay".
* Diego doesn't say, "We solved the puzzle," he instead says, "We finished the puzzle."
* This is the first *Go, Diego, Go!* episode (in production order) that Dora uses the picture pop-up sequence from *Dora the Explorer*. In airing order, this the second and final *Go, Diego, Go!* episode to do so.
* This is the first and only *Go, Diego, Go!* episode in which Dora uses Backpack and Map together in the same episode.
* This is also the first *Go, Diego, Go!* episode (in production order) where Map zoom wipes immediately after he finished repeating the places like in Seasons 1-3 and Dora Saves the Mermaids from *Dora the Explorer*. In airing order, this is the second and final *Go, Diego, Go!* episode to do so,
* Although Dora and Diego are traveling with each other in this episode, they don't sing the Travel Song like they did in the *Dora the Explorer* episode "Dora and Diego to the Rescue!".
* Dora and Alicia both say, "See you soon!" at the end.
* The copyright year reads "2007" instead of 2008 or 2009, meaning this episode was produced in 2007.
* The credits in this episode uses the Nick Jr. Productions Puddle Logo at the end of this episode, meaning this episode took place before the rebrand on September 28, 2009, thus it didn't use the Nickelodeon Productions logo of the rebrand, not even the Nickelodeon lightbulb logo from 2008, which was still being used at the time.
* This episode is Dora, Backpack, and Map's last appearance in Go, Diego, Go!.
