In season 1 episode 27, titled "The Compass," Tom Thomas, a young boy who can see the Fixies, loses his grandfather's compass. Panic sets in when his grandfather wants to leave for a fishing trip soon, and he can't seem to find the compass anywhere.
Tom Thomas's grandfather is a veteran fisherman and has many tools and gadgets that he uses while fishing. One of his most prized possessions is his compass, which he has used for years to navigate the sea and find the best spots for fishing. The compass has a sentimental value to him and is an essential tool for him every time he goes fishing.
Tom Thomas had borrowed the compass before and was supposed to return it, but he had forgotten all about it. When his grandfather asks him for the compass, Tom begins to look for it but can't find it anywhere. He starts to panic, knowing how much it means to his grandfather. He even goes as far as to clean up his room, thinking he may have misplaced it. But the compass is nowhere to be found, leading him to believe that he has lost it.
The Fixies, meanwhile, are watching the entire ordeal. They realize that the compass is an essential tool, and without it, Tom Thomas's grandfather wouldn't be able to find the best fishing spots. They decide to take matters into their tiny hands and help Tom Thomas find the compass.
After examining Tom's room and his grandfather's fishing gear, they realize that the compass must be in the fishing boat. They quickly devise a plan to retrieve the compass from the boat. But, they must be quick as Tom's grandfather is getting ready to leave for his fishing trip, and they don't have much time.
The Fixies come up with an elaborate plan involving pulleys, strings, and other tools, to sneak into the boat and retrieve the compass. They work quickly, making sure not to be seen by Tom's grandfather, who is just a few feet away.
Finally, they manage to retrieve the compass and bring it back to Tom Thomas. He is overjoyed to have found it, and he thanks the Fixies for their help. Tom's grandfather is equally thrilled when Tom returns the compass to him and sets off for his fishing trip with a smile on his face.
