In the first episode of Carole & Tuesday, viewers are introduced to the two main characters of the series, Carole and Tuesday. The show is set in a future world where Earth has been partially terraformed and humans have colonized Mars. Carole is a young girl who works a few odd jobs while dreamt of becoming a musician, and Tuesday is a wealthy girl from a prominent family who runs away from home to pursue her passion for music. The two girls happen to meet one day while Tuesday wanders the streets alone.

As they get to know each other, they bond over their shared love of music and dream of making it big in the music industry. Carole is a talented pianist, while Tuesday loves to sing and write songs. However, making it in the music industry is not easy, and they soon realize that they need to work hard to make their dreams a reality.

The episode kicks off with an introduction to Alba City, the bustling metropolis where the girls are currently living. As Carole makes her way to work, she sings a beautiful melody to herself and imagines performing in front of a huge audience. Tuesday, on the other hand, is at home, bored and unhappy with her life. She longs to escape her stifling household and do something she truly loves.

As Tuesday wanders the streets, she stumbles upon a concert venue and sees a famous musician named Crystal perform. Inspired by the music and the energy of the crowd, Tuesday decides to run away from home and pursue her dreams of becoming a musician.

Meanwhile, Carole finishes work and heads to a local park where she runs into a stranger who asks for her help in fixing his motorcycle. As she helps him, he teaches her a few chords on his guitar and the two bond over their shared love of music. Before leaving, the stranger gives Carole a guitar pick, telling her it will take her on an adventure.

The next day, Carole and Tuesday cross paths on the street and strike up a conversation. Tuesday is initially hesitant to trust Carole, but the two quickly bond over their mutual love of music and decide to write a song together. Carole suggests that they enter a talent competition called Mars Brightest, as it could be their big break.

The rest of the episode follows the girls as they write their song and prepare for the competition. We see Tuesday struggle with her strict upbringing and fear of failure, while Carole is determined to help her newfound friend achieve her dreams. They practice their song in a park, with Carole playing guitar and Tuesday singing.
