[chuckling]

Fraggle Rock, yeah!

[chuckles] Yeah.
Another great day in Fraggle Rock.

Oh, you said it, Gobo. [chuckles]

I can't tell if I'm more excited for...
f-for fun or... or... or games.

Uh, dancing or singing?
Uh, bipping or bopping?

- [chuckles]
- [groans] I'm wembling again.

[chuckles]
Things are pretty good right now.

Mm-hmm.

I can't believe we're friends
with the Gorgs.

[Boober] Ugh.

Oh, I just adore the level of harmony
in the Rock right now.

Who wants to harmonize with me? Boober.

Huh? No.

♪ No ♪

- That was lovely. Thank you for that.
- Ah.

- [Matt] Attention, attention.
- Huh?

Important Fraggle coming through.

- [Fraggles gasping]
- Behold, it is I, Uncle Travelling...

- Whoa. [grunting]
- [groans]

- [clears throat] I meant to do that.
- Mmm.

[clears throat] Thank you,
little Fraggles, for coming.

- [Gobo] Hmm.
- Or really,

I should be thanking
myself for being so interesting.

Oh, thank you, Matt. Oh, don't mention it.

- [chuckling]
- Oh, brother.

You know, Fraggles often come up
to me and say... Oh, oh, oh, oh.

My tongue. Ah. Ah.

- Why do they say that?
- I... I bit my tongue.

- [Red sighs]
- [clears throat] They say,

"Matt, you've discovered
so many incredible things

that have changed our lives
for the better."

- Mm-hmm, yeah.
- [Matt] "What's next?"

Well, to them I say... [grunts] "Behold..."

[gasping]

"...the future of Fraggle Rock."

- [Gobo] Wow.
- [gasps] I need it. I want it.

- What is it?
- Well, allow me to explain.

- Mm-hmm.
- Just the other day...

- [screaming]
- [Matt] ...while valiantly exploring...

the wilds of Outer Space...

[whimpering]

[screams] Get away, beast!

[Matt]
I stumbled upon the strangest thing.

Food growing out of tables.

- Huh?
- [Matt] A new form of farming

that required no dirt and no water.

The system was entirely nose-boop based.

- But it wasn't just a farm.
- Ah.

- It was an experience.
- Whoo! [laughing]

- There were rides, Gobo. Rides.
- Whee!

[groaning, babbles]

I'm all right. I'm all right. [babbles]

- And that's when I saw it.
- [gasps]

- The most beautiful creation on the farm.
- [gasps]

I, and only I, was given
the privilege of trying it.

Mmm. Hmm.

[Matt] It was amazing,

- but I kept my cool.
- [splutters] Sweet mother of Fraggle!

[laughing, cheering]

I knew I had to bring these treasures

- back to Fraggle Rock...
- [Matt] Delicious!

...which is where we find ourselves
right now.

[screams]
Where are we? It's dark! [panting]

[stammers] Help me!
[stammers, panting] Ha! Mmm.

- Ah. [clears throat]
- He's okay. Hmm.

As the explorer who first discovered
the traditional radish...

Hold for applause.

[laughs] Yeah. [laughing]

- [Red sighs]
- [Gobo] Yeah.

I'm here with another life-changing
discovery.

- [Wembley] Hmm.
- The sweet radish.

- [Fraggles gasp]
- The Silly Creatures call it a strawberry,

but "sweet radish" is the scientific name.

[Wembley] Wow.

- Mm-hmm.
- [Matt] Here, have a taste.

- [Red] Hmm.
- Huh? Thanks, Uncle Matt. [grunts]

- Welcome.
- [chews] Wow.

- There you go.
- Exciting!

The juice is life. And flavor is language!

- Oh. [gasping]
- Oh, come on. How good could...

- [chews] Ooh, that's good.
- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mmm. Yum

- Boober?
- What? The sponge of bacteria

that's been touched by everyone
before it got to me?

- Mm-hmm.
- Uh, no, thanks.

Well, I think this is my uncle Matt's
most amazing discovery yet.

- Uh-huh.
- Mm-hmm.

This is my most amazing discovery yet.
Sprocket,

you're not gonna believe this.

[Sprocket barking]

[Doc] There's an old fan back there.

- [groans]
- With a fan in there,

if I put another one out here,
I could get a real air current going.

Okay, so you know how last year
in my marine sustainability program

we took on microplastics?
[chuckles] Huge success.

- Got to meet the dean.
- [Sprocket growls]

Well, this year, I'm all about capturing
ocean wind for renewable energy.

[growls]

And now that I can make
a real air current,

I can run tests on different
turbine models. [chuckles]

All thanks to that hidden fan,
which I am now calling "Fanboy."

- [groans]
- I might change that.

- [chuckles] I also might not.
- [groans]

- Here we go.
- [fan whirring]

Let's see how much power we can generate.

[Sprocket grunts]

Weird hole in the wall finally paying off.

[wind whistling]

[chews, gasping]

This flavor is so amazing. It's like
there's music in my head. [chuckles]

- No, no. Not in your head. We all hear it.
- Huh?

It's incredibly alarming.

[screaming]

- [Fraggles screaming, clamoring]
- [Boober] Whoa. Oh, no.

[screaming, gasping]

Everybody, grab on to something!
Don't panic!

[grunting]

- Can't we do both? [screams]
- Boober!

- [screams]
- [grunting]

Thank you, nature,
for this display of strength.

- Whoo! [screaming]
- [screaming]

[grunting]

Under different circumstances... whoa...

this would be great for drying laundry!

[screaming]

Whoa! I can fly!

- Whoa! Am I helping?
- [screams]

[panting] Don't worry! Everything's okay!

You good? Everything good?

- Yeah!
- [screaming]

Oh, hey, hey, get back here,
little fella. [grunts]

[Inkspot splutters]

- [Matt shouting] Good job, Gobo.
- Wha... Yeah. Huh?

I've got this area covered.

[whimpers, screaming]

[screaming]

Hang on, Wembley! Everything's okay!

Everything doesn't feel okay!

[grunting, screaming]

[Mokey] The wind is caught
under the moss like a parachute!

[groans] Oh, no, buddy!
[grunts] It's okay!

- Gobo! Gobo! Help! [screams]
- [Gobo] Just hang on, Wembley!

Protect the sweet radish! [whimpering]

What's wrong, sweet chunk?

[groans] It's just... I know we're all
lovey-dovey with the Fraggles now,

- but...
- Mm-hmm.

Well, what would my Pa-Pa think?

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that.

- Pa-Pa.
- Oh.

- It's me, your son, Pa.
- [sighs]

Should we be friends with the Fraggles?
Oh, give me a sign. [sighs]

- No, no! No!
- [Pa, Ma Gorg gasping]

- [screams] No! No! No!
- [Pa Gorg] Pa-Pa, is that you?

[stammering]

[Doc] Turn it off, Sprock.

[sputtering]

[screams] The strawberry!

- [screams] Gobo!
- Wembley! I got you!

- Gobo! [grunting]
- I got him! I got you, Wembley!

- [all gasp]
- [all sigh]

- [whimpers, grunts, gasps]
- [grunts, pants] I got you, bud.

- Uh-huh.
- Yeah. Come on. [grunts]

Gobo.

- Cotterpin...
- [sighs]

...that was the most powerful
thing I've ever experienced.

Mm-hmm. [chuckling]
Are you scared or excited, sir?

Both! That's how powerful it was.
It "bothed" me. [groans]

Well, if it ever happens again,
we should harness that energy.

Mmm.

Capture the wind and use it
to make power, like we do with water.

- Which means more building.
- [gasps]

Wow, second time
I've been blown away today.

[laughs]

- Let's make a wind-catching device.
- [gasps]

I'm calling an all-hands-on-deck
Doozer meeting.

[both laughing]

Uh, how do I do that?
Do I just, like, yell really loudly,

or is there another way to do it?

- It's okay, Wembley. Yeah.
- [whimpering, pants]

There, there.

Oh, Nephew Gobo.

- Oh.
- That was dazzling.

- Oh, well.
- Staying calm in a storm like that...

Why, you're almost as brave as me.

- [screaming]
- [whimpers]

[chuckles, sighs]

[chuckles]

You know, I'm planning to return
to Outer Space.

- Mmm.
- And I think you, Gobo, are finally ready.

- [gasps]
- What do you say?

Whoa! Well, I say thank you for making me

- the happiest Fraggle in the Rock. Yes!
- [chuckles]

- Fantastic. Go pack.
- [gasps] Whoa, okay. [laughs]

Oh, and, uh, bring a couple
of fancy things

for when I get invited
to important dinners.

[sniffs] Yes.

Buddy, buddy, buddy, buddy!
Big news, buddy!

I am going to Outer Spa...

- [whimpering]
- Hey, what's wrong?

Oh, the windstorm,

- it really shook him up.
- Huh?

- Mm-hmm.
- I've tried reminding him that disaster

is inevitable,
but... [sighs] ...it didn't help. [sighs]

And I did my most calming chant.
You know, the one that goes...

- [vocalizing loudly]
- [Wembley whimpering]

- Nothing.
- [sighs] Poor Wem, but...

Hey, hey, it's all over now, bud.

[whimpers, pants] How do you know?

[stutters] What even was it? I mean...
[grunts] Is it gonna happen again?

- [stammers, groans]
- Huh. All good questions.

- [Gobo groans]
- What? They are!

- Okay, um. Hey, listen.
- Hmm?

How about we go check in
with the Trash Heap, eh, Wem?

You think visiting an all-seeing,
all-knowing oracle

might make you feel better?

I... [stammers] Maybe.
[sighs] I don't know.

Well, let's take that maybe and turn it
into a yay...

- Huh? Huh? Yeah.
-"...B"!

The "B" stands for Boober.

- What? Hmm.
- To the heap! Come on, everyone.

[singsongy] Let's go see the Trash Heap.
Going to see the Trash Heap, everybody!

- Gonna make my pal feel better. Yeah!
- Trash Heap, Trash Heap.

- Uh, uh, uh, Gobo.
- Yeah?

Uh, you're not worried about
your uncle leaving without you?

Nah. He was going to say goodbye
to the Storyteller.

- Oh.
- That could take a while.

[Red] Uh-huh.

Well, Outer Space is calling my name.

[clears throat] Quick story before you go?

Unfortunately, I'm in a hurry. So...

It's about you.

Where should I sit?

[chuckles]

So, a long, long time ago,

a hero was born into this world.

And that hero's name? Matt!

- [Junior Gorg hums, giggles]
- Hey, buddy!

- Hey. Hey, pal!
- Value your friendship!

- Value your friendship.
- Squish ball later?

- Wouldn't miss it.
- Ooh! What's squish ball?

- Teach me so I can beat you!
- [Fraggles laughs]

Tell your mom I said hi!

- Uh-huh.
- [door opens]

Get out of here, Fraggles.
You're not welcome anymore!

Not any one of you. Get out of here!

- What's that all about?
- Well, he's probably just goofing. Uh...

You're not welcome either!
[chuckles, groans]

- [Wembley chuckles] Yeah.
- Weird.

Pa, why are you yelling at our friends?

Your father's had a change of heart.

Yep. I'm calling a family meeting.

Uh, how do I do that?
Do I just yell or what?

[sighs]

Oh, here they come.
Just like we rehearsed?

- Yeah, yeah.
- You go first.

[clears throat]
You are in the presence of...

The all-knowing...

[both] Trash heap! Nyah!

- I think that went well.
- We did good.

Oh! Thank you, boys.

Welcome back, Fraggles!

- Yeah.
- [Trash Heap] Oh!

Gobo Fraggle, you've got
a sheen of confidence about you!

Well... [chuckles] ...I am about
to head into Outer Space.

Ooh, exciting!

- Eh, not for me. I'm a homebody.
- [chuckles] True.

Yeah, everything's going really great,
except, well, my best bud here...

- Hi.
- ...was... was really spooked

- by a big windstorm.
- Yeah.

Aw! Poor Wembley, with your little
banana shirt and the whole thing.

Sounds like the wind down there
was pretty scary.

- Ooh, unnerving. Hmm.
- Startling.

Hmm, and it made the eeriest
whistling sound.

I mean, I enjoyed it
because I'm a registered music lover.

But that's just me.

Hmm. Whistling sound, huh?

Sounds like it came from Whistling Hollow.

What a detective!

- Cracked the case.
- Mm-hmm.

Well, all right.
Let's just go to Whistling Hollow

so Wem can see for himself
that the whole thing's no big deal.

Well, you sound sure of yourself.

I look forward to everyone seeing
what they need to see.

[hums]

[Philo, Gunge] The Trash Heap has spoken.

[both] Nyah!

Well, uh... [stammers] ...all right.
Come on, g*ng. [chuckles]

- Whoa. Yeah. [chuckles] [humming]
- Yeah, okay.

Uh, hey. If she ever needs anything
washed, uh, would you let me know?

- [chuckles] That's our job.
- Yeah, we wash the stuff.

- Mm-hmm.
- Yeah. [chuckles] I can tell. Ha.

[both gasp]

- Well, I never!
- I never!

- Ever?
- Ever!

- Ever!
- Ever!

- Never! [babbles]
- Never!

- [snoring]
- [door opens]

- [Doc] Check it out, Sprockie.
- [barks]

- I told Jerry at the campus lab...
- [gasps]

- ...that I wanted a bigger fan...
- [growls]

...and he was like, "Oh, I got ya."

[sighs] Jerry does not play.

[barks, grunts]

Ooh, so this is Whistling Hollow.
[chuckles]

- [Gobo] Mmm.
- Moody with a capital E!

[chuckles] See, bud?
Nothing to be scared of.

Just a breezy spot
with a cool melody. [chuckles]

- But what if a big storm happens again?

Well, come on. What are you worried about?

- This place is great!
- [stammers]

- [barks]
- [sighs]

Now, this is gonna generate some power.

- [Sprocket barks]
- And away we blow.

[fan whirring]

[whimpers, howls]

- [Red shouts]
- It's happening again!

[Fraggles shouting]

- [grunts] Gobo! Gobo, are you okay?
- [both grunt]

- [whirring loudly]
- [whining]

[shouts] Did we get a measurement yet?

[whining, barks]

[power clicks off]

Whew! Intense!

Gum flew out of my mouth.

Oh, heads up,
I have no idea where it went.

[whimpers, growls]

- [pants, groans]
- [grunts, sighs]

Hey. [chuckles] I'm totally fine.
[chuckles, sniffs]

- Huh?
- That was no big deal. [chuckles]

No biggily diggily.

[grunts] I think you and I
have different ideas

about what is and is not

- a biggily diggily.
- [Wembley] Hmm.

Wha... No, seriously.
It was nothing to worry about.

- And it's over.
- [sighs]

- [power clicks on]
- Hold on to your tail!

- [yelps]
- [Fraggles shouting]

[shouting continues]

Now let's experiment with reversing
the current back and forth...

- [wailing]
- ...so we can get a bunch of readings.

[shouting continues]

Whoa! Help!

[all shouting]

[Sprocket wailing]

[shouting]

- [Red groaning, shouting]
- Somebody make it stop!

[grunting, shouting]

[panting]

[grunting, shouting]

- [shouting continues]
- [panting]

[stammers] What are we gonna do, Gobo?
Are we gonna be okay? [whimpering]

- I... I...
- Huh?

Yeah? Got this? [grunts]

- No.
- [gasps]

I don't know. I just don't know.

I was wrong to tell you
everything was gonna be okay, Wembley.

I don't know that.

[groans] Maybe I'd be a better friend if
I admit that there's a lot I don't know.

I see that now.

Huh. Maybe that's what Marjory
wanted me to see.

I'm just sorry
I couldn't make you feel better, bud.

You know, I weirdly do.

Hearing you say you don't know
what's going on either,

it actually makes me feel less alone.

Like... Like we're in this together.

- Yeah.
- Mmm, yeah.

- [Mokey] Uh, us too!
- [Wembley] Huh?

Glad you're having a nice chat but...

- Yeah. Oh, I...
- ...what's the plan here?

Yeah, we gotta figure out

- how to fight this wind!
- [Boober] Mm-hmm.

- Maybe we don't fight it.
- [Boober, Red] Huh?

Everyone, hold on to the moss!

[Red] Uh, yeah.

Now let it lift!

[Fraggles shouting]

Wow!

[laughing]

Whoa! Oh, no!

- Whoa! Gobo, I got you, I got you.
- [shouting, sighs]

Thanks, pal. [sighs]

- [barking]
- [fan whirring]

[straining] Okay. [pants]

[power clicks off]

[barking continues]

Whoo! Okay.

[panting] I pushed that too far.

- [barking]
- I see that now.

But wind power could actually
help save the planet

so I'm excited to get back
to the drawing board

and figure this one out. [panting]

But first, let's clean this place up.

[whimpers]

Ooh! Someone found my gum.

[groans, barks]

- [Gobo] Wow.
- [Red chuckles]

- [Gobo] Ha-ha.
- [Red] Whoa.

[Storyteller] And Fraggle Rock
would never be the same again.

And that is how Travelling Matt

traveled into
his most important destination,

our hearts.

- [chuckles]
- [sighs] Wow.

- Thank you. [chuckles] Thank you.
- Just wow.

[sighs]

Huh? Ah. [clears throat]
Nephew Gobo, there you are.

You missed a beautiful story.
A bit short but very good.

Oh... [clears throat] So, ready to go?

Well, uh, Uncle Matt, I... I'm sorry,
but I can't go with you to Outer Space.

- [gasps]
- You see,

well, something's not right here
in Fraggle Rock.

And until it is, I... I wanna be here
with my friends to help make it better.

[sighs] Cool.

I'll just bring somebody else.
Somebody calm and serious.

Huh?

- [grunts] Hi, Red!
- Huh?

- I'm going to Outer Space!
- [shouts]

- [Gobo stammers]
- [strains]

[sighs] I hope this wasn't a mistake.

- [grunts]
- [thuds]

Oh.

[grunts]

- [Pogey] I'm an explorer!
- [Gobo sighs]

- Oh, bye, Pogey!
- [Gobo] Bye-bye!

- Bye, Uncle Matt! Oh.
- [Red groans]

Well, buds. Whatever happened,
I won't pretend it wasn't big

and maybe a little bit scary.

- [Red] Mmm.
- Yeah.

[stutters] It's not fair.
They're my friends.

- They're Fraggles!
- [Ma Gorg] Mm-hmm.

And we are Gorgs.

- It's what our ancestors want.
- [Junior, Ma Gorg] Aw.

[Gobo] And I have no idea
what we're going to face next.

[equipment whirring]

[Gobo] But that can't stop us
from trying to make things better.

[Gobo] Or take away the fun
of being here now.

[barks]

Because I don't know everything,

but I do know there's nowhere else
I'd rather be.

[Gobo pants] Hey, everyone!

[pants] The first new artifact
from my Uncle Matt is here.

- [Red] Oh, wow!
- [panting] Yeah...

- [Wembley] Hey, that was quick.
- ...let's see. Um, the postcard just says,

-"Dear Nephew Gobo, it was a mistake."
- Hmm.

- Hmm. What does that mean?
- Huh.

- [Fraggles scream]
- [shouts] Is this Outer Space?

- Hi, Red.
- Hi.

- [shouting] I'm Pogey.
- [Wembley chuckling]
