The Mighty Ones season 1 episode 7, titled "Naked Mole Wrath / Momma Leaf," follows the misadventures of the four playthings as they find themselves in two different predicaments. In the first half of the episode, Rocky and Twig, the two woody characters, witness a naked mole rat destroying their ant hill home. This sends the two into a frenzy and they kickstart a plan to stop the mole rat from ruining their home forever.
Meanwhile, the two living props, Leaf and Very Berry, are feeling down and homesick. Gelatinous blobs had recently commandeered their storage space, and they're left feeling like they don't belong in their own home. In an attempt to make them feel better, the Mighty Ones explain how they too don't have homes, with Rocky adorably saying that they dwell in their "mighty hearts.”
The second half of the episode follows Rocky and Twig as they trek through the underground tunnels of the Naked Mole Rat kingdom. Here, they encounter a wise and old Mole Rat king who warns them about the “naked mole wrath,” a fearsome rage inducing creature that can transform mole rats into destroyers. The king suggests that the wrath is targeting Rocky and Twig, and so they must face and defeat it to save the ant hill.
Meanwhile, once again, Leaf and Very Berry think they've found a new home and want to move, leaving behind the mighty neighbourhood where they currently reside. The rest of the Mighty Ones, especially Rocky and Twig who are off on their mole rat mission, are sad at this decision. However, the two inanimate objects come to the realisation that it doesn't matter where they are as they have each other, and their teammates rally around them in support.
The final moments of the episode bring all the threads together as the Mighty Ones return home to a devastated ant hill, but with Twig and Rocky triumphant. They discover that the naked mole wrath was just a misunderstood creature with a bad rap. They make amends with the mole rats and return to their happy lives in the Mighty Ones neighborhood, where Leaf and Very Berry are also now appreciated for what they bring to the group, meaning they no longer want to leave.
Overall, "Naked Mole Wrath / Momma Leaf" is a heartening episode about friendship, inclusion, and working together to solve problems, using action and humour to drive the story. It also has an uplifting conclusion that promotes the importance of community and home, which will surely leave both kids and adults warmed with a smile.
