In the first half of the episode, Knight Time, Doc receives a new toy - a knight in shining armor. However, the knight seems to be having some trouble moving his arm properly, and Doc realizes that he needs a visit to her clinic for a much-needed check-up. As she tries to diagnose the problem, the knight is feeling embarrassed and reluctant to share his issues with anyone - especially since he is supposed to be brave and strong. Doc McStuffins, with her gentle and nurturing approach, convinces him to open up and share his concerns. With the help of her trusty team of stuffed animals, Doc gets to the root of the problem and manages to fix the knight, while also helping him understand that there's no shame in asking for help when you need it.

Doc and her team realize that Lambie needs a good grooming session, and they get to work right away. However, things get a little tricky when Doc herself gets a few of the pricklethorns stuck in her hand. Lambie, despite her own discomfort, puts her own issues aside and becomes a helpful caregiver to Doc, showing her the same compassion and care that Doc has shown to all of her toys. In the end, both Lambie and Doc get the care they need, and Lambie reminds Doc how important it is to have friends who are always there to help you out when you need it.
