In season 3 episode 44 titled "Flight of Fancy/Totem Trouble," Franny's shoes take her to two exciting places.
In "Flight of Fancy," Franny travels to the countryside to meet her friend Lily, who lives on a farm. Franny helps Lily feed the animals and collect eggs, and they even go for a horseback ride. When they see a hot air balloon nearby, Franny eagerly suggests they take a ride in it. However, Lily is afraid of heights and at first, is hesitant to get on. Franny encourages her and helps her overcome her fear. The two friends then get to soar above the farm and see all the beautiful sights from above. However, the weather takes a sudden turn, and Franny and Lily must help the balloon pilot safely land before the storm hits.
Next, in "Totem Trouble," Franny's shoes take her to a west coast Indigenous community where she meets her friend Ethan. Ethan tells Franny about the importance of totem poles in his culture and takes her to see some of the beautiful totem poles in the village. However, when they arrive at a totem pole that Ethan's grandfather had carved, they see that it has been damaged. Ethan is upset and believes that someone did it on purpose. With Franny's help, they investigate and discover that the damage was caused by a group of kids playing football. Ethan and Franny talk to the kids and explain the cultural significance of the totem pole and the importance of respecting Indigenous culture. The kids realize their mistake and apologize, and together with Franny and Ethan, they work to restore the totem pole to its original state.
Overall, "Flight of Fancy/Totem Trouble" is an exciting episode that showcases the importance of friendship, facing fears, and respecting different cultures and traditions. It is a great addition to the Franny's Feet series and is sure to entertain and teach young viewers.
