**Carl's Sisters (Remastered)** is the second remastered episode of *Carl*, being a remaster of the season 1 episode, "Carl's Sisters". It features a similar but more altered and expanded plot from the classic episode, taking different approaches to many scenes, as well as adding new ones, and certain characters' personalities, especially Carrie and Sally regarding their relationship with Carl, are slightly altered. Like in the classic episode, Carl is invited to a house party but his plans are sabotaged when Calvin and Linda insist that Carl stays home and babysits Carrie and Sally. In addition, it features the debut of Bob Taylor in the remaster, who appeared in the first episode of the classic.

## Plot

Following Mr. Moore's Geography class, Carl and Blooper come across Grace, Roxanne, Kylie and Talia, the last of whom's birthday is on Saturday, two days from the current day onwards, and after being encouraged by her friends, decides to have a party at her house. Carl tells the girls he plans on attending the party in an attempt to get to know Grace better, as well as to have new experiences. After some hesitation, Blooper decides to go to the party as well, as do Boo and Dry Bones. The audience is also introduced to Bob Taylor, a physically intimidating associate of Gooper who has just returned from suspension.

Once he gets home, Carl tries to inform Linda and Calvin about the party, only to be told by them that because they will be out on Saturday and Logan won't be at home, he has to babysit Carrie and Sally for the night, as Calvin is not comfortable with hiring a babysitter. Carl protests at this, but Calvin and Linda tell him that he must take responsibility for his half-sisters. This causes Carl to storm off to his bedroom in disappointment, which Linda worries about. Calvin tells her that Carl will eventually calm down and come to terms with the fact, causing Linda to reveal that another reason as to why she is worried is that Carl has never been close to Carrie and Sally, and that being forced to babysit them the day of a party isn't going to help with their relationship. Calvin answers by saying that Carl will get plenty of opportunities to go to parties in the future, and that looking after his half-sisters will probably help him get along with them.

The next day, Friday, Carl tells his friends about him not being available on Saturday. Dry Bones complains about not wanting to go Talia's party on his own, to which Carl answers by saying that he wanted to go just as much as him and that he isn't exactly excited about babysitting his half-sisters, complaining about their attitudes, especially Carrie's. Grace and her friends then come across the boys, and ask them if they are looking forward to Talia's party. Carl tries to tell the girls that he will be busy on Saturday, but after seeing how disappointed Grace looked over it, he quickly corrects himself by saying that he will just be arriving a little late. After the girls leave, Blooper scolds Carl for trying to evade his responsibilities, which would lead to him getting in trouble, but Carl tells him it will be fine, stating that he'll leave his house once Carrie and Sally fall asleep.

Saturday evening has come, and Linda and Calvin are getting ready to leave for the night. Linda is overly worried about what could happen to Carl and the girls, whereas Calvin tells her everything will be alright. Carrie protests to the idea, telling her father that she wants to go out with her friends, only for Calvin to tell her that he can't afford that to happen while he and Linda are away. After a few more instructions and recommendations, Calvin and Linda leave the house. As soon as they do so, Carrie starts bossing Carl around, threatening to call Calvin and Linda and get him in trouble if he refuses to do as she and Sally say.

At Talia's home, her parents are getting ready to leave, leaving her a series of very strict regulations, including a bedtime and a three-person limit. After they leave, Grace urges Talia to start making preparations for the party, but she is very worried about anything going wrong and getting in trouble with her father, to which Grace tells her that she needs to relax and have fun on her birthday. In that moment, Dry Bones arrives at Talia's home, having arrived one hour before the party started.

Back at the Mitchell's household, the twins are watching TV while eating ice-cream, leaving crumps all over the carpet and making Carl nervous. At that moment, Boo shows up at Carl's house, asking him if he can walk him over to Talia's party as he is scared of going alone, only for Carl to remind Boo that he is supposed to be looking after his sisters. Carrie and Sally then walk on Carl and Boo, which Carrie calls him out on since he was never given permission to have friends over. Carl tells his sister not to tell Calvin or Linda, and she agrees on the condition that he lets her and Sally stay up until 10:30, which Carl reluctantly accepts.

Back at Talia's home, the party has started, with many of her classmates showing up. Dry Bones tries to flirt with Rain, only to end up embarrassing himself, while Blooper wonders about Carl's whereabouts, saying that he only came because Carl asked him to. Mary-Lynn is at the party too, and she mocks Talia over how boring her party is. Talia snarks back at Mary-Lynn, but her confidence quickly vanishes after Mary-Lynn tells her no one cares about her or her birthday. Grace tries to cheer Talia up, only for Kylie and Roxanne to tell both of them that they are thinking of leaving because they aren't having any fun. Dry Bones and Blooper then ask the girls what's wrong, and after learning that nobody is having much fun, Dry Bones comes up with an idea to liven up the party with music and drinks, which Talia and the other girls agree on.

Going back to Carl, Carrie and Sally have began to fall asleep while watching TV. Boo and Carl go to the main hall, with Boo telling Carl that he is going to leave on his own. Carl tries to tell Boo to hold on until 10:30, to which Boo wonders if his sisters couldn't just put themselves to bed. This gives Carl the idea of telling his sisters that he is going to sleep and ask them if they can go to bed on their own, to which Carrie answers him by saying that "[they]'re not four". Carl and Boo then leave, with Marvin following them, and after this both Carrie and Sally fall asleep on the couch.

Talia's party has finally livened up: all the attendees having fun, with Tucker telling Talia that her party is great. Carl, Boo and Marvin arrive shortly after, where they are greeted by Grace. Mary-Lynn, jealous of the success of the party, calls Gooper, telling him to come to Talia's house.

Back at the Mitchell's house, the twins have woken up and find out Carl isn't home, which makes Carrie furious. Sally tells her sister that she thought that she wanted to be left alone, but Carrie says that what she really wanted was to hang out with her friends, and is angry that Carl left them home alone to hang out with his. Carrie quickly discovers that Carl left his phone at home, and uses the last message received to track down his location. Sally tells Carrie that perhaps they should just let it go, as she is feeling tired, only for Carrie to threaten with leaving her sister home alone, causing her to agree to accompany her.

At Talia's party, Blooper and Carl finally reunite. Blooper thinks it's unwise of Carl to leave his sisters home alone, scolding Carl for not properly putting them to bed. Carl quickly shrugs this aside once he comes across Grace, Roxanne, Kylie and Tucker, who invite both boys for a drink and a game of beer pong. Blooper is very hesitant, but Carl joins in without a problem. In that moment, Carrie and Sally arrive at the party, with Carrie running off to find Carl, leaving Sally behind.

At the living room, Dry Bones is feeling down over the fact that his attempts to impress people haven't gone as he had expected. Talia then approaches him and Boo, thanking Dry Bones for livening up her party. Dry Bones then starts making up lies about his supposedly luxurious life and experience throwing parties, with Talia deciding to play along with him, even being willing to have a conversation with him after Boo tells her that he is upset that no girl has talked to him. Back with Sally, she tells the teenagers at the party embarrassing anecdotes about Calvin causing them all to laugh. Meanwhile, Carrie runs into Mary-Lynn in the kitchen (or rather, Mary-Lynn bumps into her), and after an exchange of insults, Mary-Lynn starts pulling Carrie's hair and threatening her, causing Carrie to use Carl's phone to call her mother in distress.

Somewhere else in the house, Carl and Grace are having a conversation when Carl realizes his phone is missing. Remembering how he left it at home, he immediately starts to worry about Carrie and Sally and quickly rushes off. Meanwhile, Mary-Lynn comes across Carrie yet again, insults her and takes Carl's phone from her hands. While on his way out, Carl finds Sally at the kitchen talking to Roberto and Ruby. Sally explains her brother the situation, and after that he sees that Mary-Lynn has punched Carrie in her left eye. Carl confronts Mary-Lynn about this, insulting her in the process. Just in that moment, Gooper, Liam, Flaig, Bob and a few others show up at Talia's party, with Mary-Lynn telling Gooper that Carl insulted her. Carl soon gets punched by Bob, and Carrie, in an attempt to save her brother, throws a drink at Bob, temporarily blinding him and giving Carl a window of time to push him back, knocking him into an exhibitor and causing a vase to fall off and break on top of his head. Just in that moment however, Carl and Talia's parents show up, being very unhappy about the mess.

The Mitchell siblings are taken back to their home, where they are scolded by Calvin and Linda: Carl gets scolded for leaving his sisters home alone and sneaking out to a party fully knowing he had a responsibility to take care of, while the twins are scolded for following Carl to a party they are too young for. Carl is also called out for starting a fight with Bob, but Carl claims he never wanted to fight him. Calvin and Linda don't believe him at first, but Carrie jumps into Carl's defense, which Sally backs up. The three siblings are sent to their rooms, all being grounded for the incident. Before going to bed, Carrie returns Carl his phone and apologizes for the way she has treated him, with Carl also apologizing for leaving her and Sally home alone. They each forgive each other and go to bed.

On Monday, Carl reveals that he is grounded for two weeks for the incident, as is Talia for disobeying her parents. Grace tells Carl that it was very brave of him to stand up to Mary-Lynn and defend her sister. Talia also lets the boys know that even though she got grounded, she had a lot of fun at the party, and thanks Dry Bones for helping her out with it. Bob then shows up, walking around school grounds with his head bandaged, causing Mark and Harry to laugh at him.
