"Neighbor Pains" is the 4th episode of season 4 of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.
Plot[]
SPOILER: Plot details follow.
It is Adopt-A-Thought Saturday at Foster's, where a mother and daughter adopt Time Traveling Tina. Bloo is upset about not being allowed outside during the event. Then a little boy named "Young Man Rivers" starts to make faces at him, which got him to do it in return. Bloo goes outside to make more faces at him, but Frankie stops him from going to the house of Old Man Rivers, an old man who lives across the street from the foster home and does not want imaginary friends setting foot on his lawn, or else he'll threaten to tow every car on his street, which upsets Madame Foster. Bloo and Madame Foster throw adoption forms by mistake at Old Man Rivers, who keeps them for himself. It's up to Bloo and the others to get them back, or no imaginary friends can get adopted and they may never have another Adopt-A-Thought Saturday again.

Trivia[]
- Orlando Bloo makes his first appearance since "Frankie My Dear", only with Wilt in place of Mac and Chris.
- Frankie says she's going to burn the top hat and trench coat that make up the Orlando Bloo disguise; however, Bloo and Wilt are seen wearing them again in the series finale "Goodbye to Bloo".
- When Goo points at the people in line when she says, "And you, and you, and you", she is seen wearing the bandage on her knee that Mac gave her in "Go Goo Go".
- It is unknown how Goo knows Old Man Rivers' phone number.
- This is the first appearance of Old Man Rivers; he is heard offscreen in "Bus the Two of Us" and cameos in "Bad Dare Day" and "Goodbye to Bloo".
- This is also the first appearance of Young Man Rivers, who later cameos in "Say It Isn't Sew" and "Goodbye to Bloo".
- There was a game for the Didj made in 2008 that was based on this episode.
- Wilt or Goo could've simply had more adoption forms printed out rather than going through so much trouble. Though it is possible that they need at least one adoption form to copy it and print other copies, and Bloo used all the adoption forms, leaving them without one.
- This episode marks only appearance of Time Traveling Tina.
Goofs[]
- When Bloo is using Mac's backpack in Old Man Rivers' house, Mac is seen wearing it as he, Wilt, Frankie, and Goo are outside.
- Time Traveling Tina, the girl who adopted her and her mother are in line with the other people and friends who want the adoption forms, even though they left at the beginning of this episode.
