Apparently the official YT channel for Polly Pocket uploaded S4 Ep1 in its entirety.

Despite the title "Incredible Shrinking Dad", it's actually about the family who now know about the size-change locket. The crux of the episode is the parents being concerned about how dangerous shrinking can get and trying to limit Polly's use of it. She invites them to try being tiny for a while to show she can control everything. Shenanigans ensue.
The title comes from the dad accidentally shrinking himself smaller than everyone and getting lost, but there's some pretty good scenes with Polly and her mom - traveling across a thick rug, almost getting vacuumed, dialing a giant phone.
The thing that amazed me most is, despite the general cartoony-ness and everything played for laughs, they throw in some weirdly heavy stuff: the parents are scared of how powerful the locket is; the dad keeps shrinking until he's the size of a molecule (yet his cellphone still works); the episode ends with the parents *traumatized* by the experience.
God this show is nuts.
