Story[]
Barbie films a vlog as her family moves furniture into their new Dreamhouse. The Dreamhouse was programmed by Margaret. Ken helps the Roberts family to move furniture. George wants to decorate using a mummy statue. Everyone likes the house except for Chelsea, who misses the old house. The Dreamhouse starts to malfunction and Ken notices the Roberts' moving van has been towed. Stacie thinks they may be cursed by the mummy, but George says he just forgot to tell the Reardons that they were moving, so the Reardons had the van towed.
George and Margaret start arguing about the Dreamhouse's malfunctioning. Skipper accuses Chelsea of pranking them, so Chelsea gets upset. Skipper thinks that if Chelsea isn't pranking them and their mother can't find anything wrong with the programming, then maybe the Reardons are sabotaging them. Barbie and Skipper climb a tree and spy on the Reardons, but conclude that the Reardons don't have the technical expertise to hack the Dreamhouse. Barbie leaves to go comfort Chelsea, and then Skipper falls from the tree.
Barbie tells Chelsea that home is wherever you're with the people you love. Barbie says their grandma taught her that. Chelsea feels better after talking to Barbie, and they go outside to help move furniture. Stacie and Ken think the mummy has cursed the house, but George blames Margaret's programming. Margaret overhears and gets annoyed, so George pretends he was blaming Ken. Skipper confronts Barbie for leaving her alone in the tree. Chelsea gets upset at all the conflict. Suddenly, a storm approaches. The Roberts worry that they have been locked out of the house when the Dreamhouse Door denies them access, but Ken says he left the back door open.
Margaret checks the access panel and sees that a squirrel has chewed up the wires. She fixes the problem, but the squirrel runs into the house. The Roberts worry that they won't get their furniture indoors before it rains, and they have to catch the squirrel. Chelsea says have to work together, make a plan and get it done. Barbie and Ken capture the squirrel, and Chelsea releases it outside. The squirrel runs over the fence and scares the Reardons. It starts to rain before all the furniture can be moved indoors, so the Roberts put umbrellas over their moving boxes and go indoors. The settle into their new Dreamhouse and Barbie says that home is anywhere you're with the people you love.
