Ep 4. You Can't Do That Without a Hat

In the season 1 episode 4 of the show Fraggle Rock, titled "You Can't Do That Without a Hat," viewers are introduced to the Fraggles' custom of creating ceremonial hats for special occasions. Wembley is the main character in this episode, and he is excitedly preparing for the Hat Day ceremony, where each Fraggle presents their hats to the Great Hall for judging.

Wembley has a great imagination and a knack for inventing things, but he's not always the best at following through on his ideas. When he presents his hat creation to Gobo, he realizes that the hat is utterly plain and uninspired. Gobo suggests that Wembley go ask Mokey for some help in creating a new hat.

Mokey is Fraggledom's resident artist, and she is in the process of creating her own hat for the ceremony. Wembley admires Mokey's beautiful, flowery hat and asks her for help. Mokey agrees to help Wembley, but she suggests that he should try to make his own hat instead of copying hers. Wembley is skeptical but takes Mokey's advice to heart.

Wembley goes on a journey to find inspiration for his hat. He searches through the Gorgs' garden, talks to his friend Red about her hat designs, and even explores the Trash Heap to ask her for ideas. Along the way, Wembley realizes that he's been so obsessed with creating the perfect hat that he's lost sight of the joy of creation. With some encouragement from the other Fraggles, Wembley finally comes up with a unique idea for his hat.

The Hat Day ceremony finally arrives, and each Fraggle presents their hat to the Great Hall for judging. Gobo's hat is practical, Boober's hat is functional, and Mokey's hat is creative and beautiful. When it's Wembley's turn to present his hat, he surprises everyone with a wacky, whimsical hat that perfectly represents his personality and creativity. The judges are impressed and award Wembley first place, much to his delight.

This episode of Fraggle Rock is a charming tale about the importance of following your own creativity and finding joy in the process of creation.
