The Importance Of Being A Koala

Trudy is bullied by Otis and his gang because of her koala backpack. Donald decides to stand up for her and make everyone wear a koala backpack, to make it not weird, by using Daisy's influence on social media. The plan works, almost misunderstood by the principal, and Daisy remembers Donalds name for the first time.
