Down at Fraggle Rock.

-Yeah, it's a new hat. Yeah.
-Oh, very stylish.

-[wind blows]
-[all exclaim]

[gasps] Hmm.

[grunting] Nice.
That gustie dried my sock. [snickers]

-[wind gusting]
-[grunting, sighs]

Serves you right for celebrating. [groans]

-[wind gusting]
-Whoa. [grunting]

[groans] Those gusties are back,
and they are annoying!

But these dives
aren't gonna dive themselves. [chuckles]

[exclaims]

-[wind gusting]
-[groans]

[stammers] What in the... [shudders]

-[grunting, groaning]
-[wind gusting]

[panting] Oh.

[chuckles] Oh, well.
I guess I'll stop for today.

[chuckles]

-[shouts]
-[wind gusting]

[panting, groans]

Thank you all for coming
to this emergency meeting.

Now, as you may know,
a Doozer who will not be singled out,

accidentally released the wind

-we were storing to use for energy.
-Mm-hmm.

-It was me! I did it. Mmm.
-Yeah, and I helped! [chuckles]

-[Doozers groaning]
-Oh, my. Anyway.

We now have a more pressing issue.

But please don't overreact
when I tell you.

-We promise.
-Lay it on us.

Strawberries have taken over,
and we can't find any more radishes.

-[shouts] We're doomed! [whimpering]
-Why did you tell us that?

-[Doozers clamoring]
-Everyone, please.

This is our chance to get ahead
of the problem

before the Fraggles find out
and make things more complicated.

Well, sir,
we know we can't build with strawberries,

but while I was up in the garden,
I did see something interesting.

Push harder.

-Harder than what?
-[all grunting]

[gasps]

Fraggles are having a hard time
getting berries down from the garden.

-Mmm.
-Well, what if we did it for them?

Hmm. [clicks tongue] Well, we'd have
to create a whole delivery system

that would take a whole lot of work.

[all gasp]

[Doozers cheering] Yeah! Yay!

-I love work so much!
-[all chuckling]

[groans]
Maybe I just need to ignore the gusties.

-[wind blowing]
-[grunting]

I'm ignoring you! [scoffs]

-[pants] Whoa! [groans]
-[wind gusting]

[humming] Ooh, fun! Bed swap!

[Lanford] Bed swap!

-Should we swap personalities too?
-[Red] Huh?

-Um, I love winning. Whoo-hoo-hoo!
-[Red] No.

One of those gusties blew through
and messed everything up. [sighs]

Aw. You know, they went away last time.
I'm sure they will again eventually.

-I can't wait for eventually.
-Aw.

I gotta stop these gusties
from annoying us now.

[clicks tongue] Oh, Red.

-I could write a poem about your tenacity.
-Oh.

Not now, I've got a lot on my plate.
I'll get around to it.

-But how can you stop the gusties?
-[groans]

It's not like you can just seal off
the entire Great Hall.

-[exclaims]
-[gasps]

Great idea, Mokey! [cheers]
That's exactly what I'm gonna do.

-Come on, everyone. Let's seal it up.

Let's seal it up!

[cheering]

What are we doing?

Let's seal it up!

-[cheering]
-[laughs] Oh, that worked perfectly.

We all worked together
and sealed the Great Hall.

No more gusties blowing around.

I took care of it,
and there's zero downside. [chuckles]

-Well, see you guys later. [chuckles]
-Is it just me,

or is it starting to feel kinda warm
in here?

I-It does feel a tad toasty.

Yeah. I might even call it "full toasty."

Uh, yes.
As a chef, I can confirm "full toasty."

-Mmm.
-Bordering on "oof."

Oh, boy. Even my sweat has sweat.

[groans]
It's because you boarded up the Hall.

There's no airflow in here.

[whimpers, groans]

-[grunting] Junior?
-Mm-hmm?

-This Gorg-A-Max is convenient.
-Mmm.

It grew us big old berries
and got rid of everything else,

even those pesky radishes.

-Oh.
-Well, I'm a berry king now!

[both chuckling]

[grunting]

[groans] Cankles. I can't reach 'em.

Well, ha... have you tried standing up?

-What? [stammers] No.
-Huh?

The berries should come to me.

[chuckles] Like, they should jump
out of the garden

and into your mouth? [giggles]

-Well, exactly.
-Huh?

Hmm. We need a system
that will bring me those berries

-while I sit all day. Hmm.
-Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Well, don't just sit there

-like a Gorg on a log.
-[grunting]

-You and your mother got work to do!
-Okay, okay, Pa. Yeah. [chuckles]

-[sighs]
-Hey, hey, Ma! Ma!

This is gonna be berry nice.

[grunts] You still got it, Pa. Berry nice.

Wow. The "Gobo Fraggle" packages

-are getting bigger.
-[gasps]

-[barking]
-Wait. This is for Sprocket?

[barks]

-Did you use my laptop to buy something?
-[whimpers]

-They make that way too easy.
-[pants, barks]

-[clears throat]
-[paper ripping]

"Thank you for joining 'Woof Woof Yum:

delicious dog treats sent to your door.'"

[barking]

"Your first treat
comes to you from France."

[barking, grunting]

Who packed that, a clown?

-Wait, all that for one treat? One?
-[barks]

[door bell rings]

-[gasps, barks]
-Oh, hooray. Not just one.

[barking, grunting]

[sighs]

[sighs] Phew. Uh, hey, Red.

I know the gusties
were making you uncomfortable...

-Mmm.
-...but now we're all uncomfortable.

[groans]
I kinda like this temperature. [groans]

-Well, except for Grizzard.
-Mmm.

-Um, maybe if we just open this one?
-[gasps]

-No, no, no, no!
-[grunts]

-[grunting] No! My pigtail. [pants]
-[wind blowing]

-[sighs]
-Oh, wait...

Look, I can't deal with these gusties.

-Yeah, but Red. We have...
-[gasps] I'll figure out a different way

-to cool off in here! I promise. [pants]
-But...

-[sighing]
-[mumbling]

-Boober?
-Huh?

Did you just loosen your scarf?

Well, these are unprecedented times,
Mokey. [groans]

-[groaning] It's so hot.
-[Fraggle] It's hot.

[sighs] How to deal with the heat?

[groans]

Ooh, ooh! What if we all lined up

and blew on the neck of the Fraggle
in front of us?

Yeah! [chuckles]

Oh, no. The Fraggle in back
would still be hot. [sighs]

Ooh. Oh. It's, uh, cold in here?

Whose cave is that?

Wow. Oh.

Icy Joe?

Whoa. Hang on!

I'm moving my walking stick
with my mind. [chuckles]

-[groaning]
-Hmm. Huh?

Well, I'm working on it. [sighs]

[shivers] H-How is it so cold in here?

Because of my colder boulder
over there, eh.

[chuckles]
It's a rock that cools the air around it.

I learned about them
when I was frozen solid in the Ice Caves

for hundreds of years.

You know I was awake the whole time?

That does something
to a Fraggle. [shudders]

[gasps] Incredible!
[chuckles] I gotta get one.

-Whoa there, Burgundy.
-Whoa. Huh? Oh.

-You gotta be careful moving them around.
-Huh?

You gotta respect the, uh...
Oh, what's the word?

-How everything in the environment's...
-Mm-hmm.

-...in harmony? It's... It's all connected.
-Uh-huh.

-You know, the Icy and the Joe.
-Uh-huh.

There must be some word for it.

[stammers] I'll keep all that in mind!
Whoo-hoo-hoo! [cheers, laughing]

Ooh. Ecosystem! Whoo! Got it. Got it.
That's the word that...

Oh. Anyway, good chat.

-Get your soup. Hot soup?
-[all groaning]

[sighs]

-Hey, anyone here want soup?
-[groans]

It was a gazpacho,
but by the time I got over here,

it became a hot tomato bisque.

I gotta get some relief! [sighs]

I'm going to my cave
to do an ice meditation.

A thing I really hope is real.

[panting]

It's cold. [gasping]

Oh, hey. I fixed the problem. [chuckles]

Cool, right?

-[chuckles]
-[sighs deeply]

[Junior Gorg] This is the perfect way
to get strawberries out of the garden.

[Pa Gorg]
I'm a genius. Now hurry up. I'm hungry.

-[groans]
-[Junior Gorg] Keep cranking, Ma.

Here it comes.

[Junior Gorg] Strawberry on the way.

[Ma Gorg groans] This is exhausting.

[grunts]
Hello, my little strawbe-berry friend.

I'ma gonna eat ya.

[sighs] This seems like a wasteful,
complicated way to eat berries.

I know.
[chuckles] Great, right? [chuckles]

-Oh! Oh, the aim is off.
-Oh.

Ah, we gotta fix it.

I'll do whatever I can
without moving from my chair,

and, uh, you two take care of the rest.

Oh.

[Junior Gorg] All right, Ma.
Time to make a few adjustments.

[Ma Gorg] Okay.

[Doozer 1 on speaker]
Extraction complete. Send to processing.

[Doozer 2] Off to processing.

[Doozers chattering]

[Doozer 3] Processing.

Processed. Send cubes to packaging.

[Doozer 4] Packaging!

Moss packaging complete.

Off to distro.

[Doozer 5]
Distributing strawberry cubes now.

Architect to Cotterpin,
the new system's working perfectly. Over.

Yeah, I know. I'm right here, sir.

Into the walkie-talkie, please. Over.

[groans]

[chuckles]
When I saw Icy Joe's colder boulder,

I was like, "Brilliant idea alert!"

The gusties stay out, and we stay cool.

No downside.

Mm-hmm. Okay, I have to admit,

-it is really nice and chilly in here.
-Mm-hmm.

Even Lanford's enjoying it.

-[panting]
-Nice little Lanford and I

-can finally agree on something!
-[hisses]

[screams, breathes shakily]

Oh, but Red, what about everyone else?

It's still hot in the Great Hall.

Hmm. Well, anyone who's hot
can just come in here.

-[chuckles] Problem solved.
-Mmm.

[Fraggles grunting, muttering]

-Gobo, your baloobi... [sighs]
-Yeah? Sorry. [grunts]

-There we go.
-Now it's in my mouth.

Okay, uh, so the problem
might not be 100% solved.

-[Gobo] Yeah.
-[chuckles]

My face is on a face. [groans]

[groans]

Red, I really think we just need
to unseal the Great Hall.

-Mm-hmm.
-Or... Or, hear me out, uh,

something else. [breathes heavily]

Well, uh, I have a postcard here
from my Uncle Traveling Matt.

-[Fraggles gasping]
-That might be relevant, huh?

[groans] I mean, uh,
I can't physically leave. So read away.

"Dear Nephew Gobo,

I found myself in a hot, barren land
wishing for someplace more comfortable."

-[Matt] But luckily, as an explorer...
-[grunting]

...I don't need to wish
for new surroundings.

[yelps]

-[Matt] I can just discover them.
-Ooh.

I was suddenly in a natural paradise
filled with greenery, lakes and beaches.

All as beautiful
as the mustache on my face.

-It was perfect, except for one catch.
-[sighs]

-It was littered with small white rocks...
-Hmm? Hmm.

...interrupting the perfect
natural landscape.

[gasps]

I could tell that these rocks
bothered the Silly Creatures.

Because they hit them
with shiny rock-whackers

and chased them in Doozer vehicles.

I simply had to help.

I'd gotten myself
more comfortable surroundings,

and now it was time
to give the Silly Creatures

-that same gift.
-[groans] Come on. [sighs]

[grunts]

[grunts]
Don't worry, I'll handle this. [grunts]

You're welcome!

[Matt] And, of course,

the Silly Creatures were eager
to thank me.

-[golfers clamoring]
-No problem! [grunts]

[groans]

[exclaims, shudders]
My pleasure. Take care!

-[grunting]
-[golfer] Stop him!

-"I'm sending back a rock-whacker"...
-[Fraggles murmuring]

..."in case your surroundings need altering
as mine did.

Remember, it's not enough
to make things comfortable for you,

you must do so for everyone.
Love, your Uncle Traveling Matt."

-Yeah.
-Wow.

I don't know if it's the cool air talking,

but I think that uncle of yours
might be right.

-Mmm.
-I need to make Fraggle Rock comfortable

for every Fraggle.

-Mm-hmm.
-[gasps] So you'll unseal the Great Hall?

Oh, Mokey. Mokey, Mokey, Mokey,
Mokey, Mokey, Mokey, Mokey.

No. Something better.

[grunting, chuckling]

Oh. Next stop, comfort for all.

[grunts] Make way
for the colder boulders. [chuckles]

Okay, so since the one-treat-per-box boxes
keep arriving,

-[grunting]
-I think it's time for a lesson.

[mutters]

Yes, I had a map ready.

So, the label says the wheat
was grown in Australia.

The broth is from South Asia,

and the peanuts are from a farm
in North America.

Those were all shipped to Europe
for packaging and assembling,

and then shipped again.

That is four flights,
for those keeping score.

-[mutters]
-Then they were put on a boat,

a train and a truck.

All to get to our door.

[snorts] Now think of all the gas used,
the carbon release.

Not to mention, the materials.

-[whimpering]
-It's such a waste.

[clicks tongue] Oh, bud.

I just wanted to educate you,
not make you feel guilty.

-[moaning]
-[chuckles]

[Fraggles moaning, sighing]

[gasps, chuckles]

-Hey, buddolinos...
-[gasping]

-...I hope you like solutions.
-Wow.

I moved a ton of colder boulders here
and put them everywhere.

-[all] Huh.
-[Red] Now we're all good.

-[chuckles] Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah. It's nice and cool in here.

-Mmm.
-[sighs]

But we are in a sealed cave
with a hot pond and new cold air.

And we all know what happens

when cold air meets warm air over water.
Mmm?

-[horn blowing]
-Huh?

-[gasps]
-What?

-[sighs, smacks lips]
-[Gobo gasping]

Wh... Boober, you...
you knew this was gonna happen?

Well, yeah. I know some thermodynamics.

What? A Fraggle can't have any interests
besides cooking and laundry?

[Fraggles gasping, grunting]

Uh, d... don't worry, everyone.
I'll figure this out.

But first, where are you? [whines]

Wha... Red? Wh... Red?

Gobo? I-Is that you? Wh...

W-W-Wembley? Wembley, I'm over here!

[grunts] I have no idea where I am.
Mokey? [whines]

Wembley!

Pogey! Pogey!

Where am I?

[breathes shakily]
I really messed things up.

-[Icy Joe] You can say that again.
-Icy Joe?

[groans, gasps]

Before you say anything,
if you look really close,

you'll see my stick
actually moved a tiny bit.

-Huh?
-[chuckles]

Oh, Icy, I was just trying
to make everyone comfortable

by moving some colder boulders around.

I mean, that's what you did, right?

-No!
-Huh?

The colder boulder was always
in this spot.

-Hmm?
-Why do you think I picked a cave

all the way up here?

To get away from all the Fraggles
who annoy you.

-Nah, that was just a perk.
-Oh.

Red Top,
you can't just change the environment

for your own comfort

and forget about the delicate balance
of the ecosystem.

Oh. I have to fix what I've done.

And I'm gonna need my friends to help.

[gasps] Thanks, Icy!

-[grunting, laughing]
-[exclaims, grunts]

Still new to hugs. [grunts] This right?

Whoa. Oh.

-Thanks, Icy Joe! Whoo-hoo-hoo. [exclaims]
-[breathes heavily]

All right, back to biz!

I know what'll get you to move.
[inhales sharply]

Please?

[exclaiming] I made my walking stick walk!

-[chuckling]
-[snickering]

I did it. I did it all by myself.

With my mind. [laughs]

[panting]

-[grunting] Oh!
-Oh, oh.

Ah, Wembley! Wembley, is that you?

-Uh, I think so?
-[exhales sharply]

-Wembley? Yeah? Oh, yeah, it's me.
-[chuckling]

Hey... Hey, everyone.
Follow the sound of Wembley's siren.

Oh, yeah, yeah. [imitates siren blaring]

-[chuckles]
-Huh? Whoa. Oh, hey.

Hey, hey, hey.
I need everyone's help to fix this mess.

-Oh.
-Boober, light your blobe so we can clean.

-Well, I don't hate the sound of that.
-[chuckling]

Great, 'cause...

-[groans] 'cause I really messed up, buds.
-Hmm.

I interrupted the natural flow
of the Rock,

just because I was uncomfortable.

I didn't know it would cause harm,
but now I do.

maybe I'll be a little uncomfortable,

but, uh, I can handle that.
It's for the best. [chuckles]

So, what now?

Well, we worked up quite a sweat
fixing everything,

what do you say we cool off in the pond?

-[gasping]
-Now, that's a good solution.

-Yeah, come on!
-Mmm. Yeah!

[cheering]

[gasps] Whoa. Grizzard.
How long have you been in there?

-Honestly, I don't really know. [groans]

-Am I too wrinkled?

[Gobo] Yeah.

[chuckling]

All right,
let's try the new and improved version.

-Okay. [chuckles]

Go, Ma! [chuckles]

Oh. [groans]

-[Junior Gorg] Yeah. [chuckles]

-[grunting] Oh, ooh, ow! Oh, help me...

Oh! Ow, ow! Ooh, ooh, my royal nose.

-Ow! Oh, no... No more. No more. Ooh.
-[gasps]

-[Pa Gorg] No more!
-What? More? If you say so.

Whoa.

[grunting] Ow! Ow. [grunting] Retreat.

This isn't a convenient way
to eat berries at all. Ow!

But it's a lot of fun.

[chuckles] Nice ca...
Ooh, I'm berry good at this.

[chuckling] Ooh.

[sighs]

Hey, Sprockie.
I didn't mean to make you feel bad.

-[Sprocket whimpering]
-It's awesome to have things you enjoy.

I just think it's even more awesome
if we put in a little extra effort

to make sure
it's also okay for the planet.

[sighs]

How about we take a walk
to the farmer's market?

-[gasps]
-There's a stand

that sells locally sourced,
homemade dog treats.

-[barking]
-[chuckles]

That way,
you get your treats and a nice walk.

And maybe I get a strawberry tart
from the vegan bakery on the way.

[grunts]
