In "A Cave of One's Own," the twentieth episode of the second season of Fraggle Rock, Mokey decides that she needs her own space. She's tired of sharing the cave with the other Fraggles, and wants to find a place where she can be alone with her thoughts and her creativity. She sets out in search of the perfect cave, accompanied by a new friend, a tiny creature called a Tosh Fraggle, who shares her love of solitude.
As Mokey explores the underground tunnels in search of a cave to call her own, she encounters a variety of obstacles and challenges. She crosses paths with cave creatures she's never seen before, including the Wailing Wailers, a group of mournful Fraggles who sing sad songs "about all the things that are wrong with the world." Mokey tries to convince them that the world is full of wonder and beauty, but they're not interested in listening.
Mokey's journey also leads her to a treacherous underground river, where she's nearly swept away by the current. She manages to grab hold of a nearby rock and pull herself to safety, but her quest for a new home is far from over.
Along the way, Mokey discovers that finding the perfect cave isn't as important as she thought it was. She realizes that her friends are more important to her than her own space, and that she thrives creatively when she's sharing her ideas with others. When she finally finds a cave that seems perfect, she invites her friends to join her there, and they all celebrate their togetherness with a joyous song.
"A Cave of One's Own" is a heartwarming and adventurous episode of Fraggle Rock that explores the importance of community and friendship. It's a reminder that even when we feel like we need our own space, we're never truly alone as long as we have people who care about us. Mokey's journey is a compelling and relatable one, and viewers of all ages will enjoy watching her discover what's truly important in life.
