Ep 17. Special Delivery/Fig Do It

Esme and Roy season 1 episode 17, "Special Delivery/Fig Do It," is an animated series that follows the daily adventures of the titular characters Esme and Roy, two young monsters who work together as monster sitters. In this episode, Esme and Roy are faced with a lot of challenges as they take care of two different monster families.

In the first segment, "Special Delivery," Esme and Roy receive a special package in the mail: a fragile, expensive, and super high-tech toy airplane that belongs to one of their young monster charges. The toy is supposed to represent a delivery drone, and it's filled with all sorts of fancy technology that's meant to make it fly on its own, but it's also incredibly delicate and easy to break.

The problem is that the young monster who owns the toy, Toby, is desperate to play with it, but he's not quite old enough to handle it. The toy is meant for older children, but Toby is too young, and he ends up breaking it accidentally. Esme and Roy have to use all their knowledge and skills to try and fix the toy before Toby's parents find out.

In the second segment, "Fig Do It," Esme and Roy are tasked with taking care of a very picky eater: a young monster named Fig who absolutely refuses to eat anything new or different. This puts Esme and Roy in a tough spot because they need to make sure Fig is getting the nutrition he needs to stay healthy, but they also don't want to force him to eat things he doesn't like.

Esme and Roy come up with a plan to get Fig to try new foods by presenting them in fun and creative ways. They use all sorts of tricks and treats to make the food more appealing, and they even bring in some of Fig's friends to help convince him to give new foods a try. It takes a lot of work, but eventually, Fig starts to warm up to the idea of trying new foods, and he even discovers some things that he really likes.

Throughout the episode, Esme and Roy showcase their wide range of skills, from problem-solving and creativity to empathy and patience. They demonstrate the importance of adapting to different situations and finding unique solutions to various problems. The show's colorful animation and engaging characters make it a great choice for young audiences, while its focus on helping children develop important life skills and navigate common challenges make it a valuable resource for parents and educators alike.
