In season 1, episode 2 titled "Night Light," Hana and her pals find themselves in an interesting situation involving a young bunny named Bertie.
The episode begins with Hana and her friends, Boris the bear, Belinda the goat, and Pedro the pig, eagerly waiting for a phone call on their helpline. Just as they begin to wonder if anyone needs their help, they receive an urgent call from a concerned mother. It turns out that her little bunny, Bertie, is afraid of the dark and is struggling to sleep at night.
With a strong desire to assist, Hana and her team embark on an adventure to Bertie's home, The Bunny Burrow. Hoping to shed light on the situation, they bring along a special surprise for the young bunny – a night light. Hana believes that this simple addition to Bertie's bedtime routine might just be the solution to his fear.
As Hana's team arrives at The Bunny Burrow, they are greeted by Bertie's mother, Martha. Grateful for their timely response, Martha leads the group to Bertie's room, which is dimly lit. Hana immediately suggests placing the night light next to Bertie's bed, explaining that it will provide a comforting glow throughout the night and alleviate his fear.
However, much to their surprise, Bertie isn't convinced and resists the idea of using a night light. He explains to Hana and her friends that he finds the dark to be mysterious and exciting, filled with the potential for adventure. Hana empathizes with Bertie's feelings but gently encourages him to try the night light for a few nights. She believes that experiencing the comfort it provides might change his perspective.
Not wanting to force Bertie into anything, Hana suggests an alternative solution. She proposes that they embark on a magical journey together, exploring Bertie's room and discovering hidden treasures in the dark. Bertie finds this idea intriguing and agrees to give it a try. Hana, Boris, Belinda, Pedro, and Bertie gather around the night light, ready for their adventure to begin.
What follows is a heartwarming sequence of events, where the characters explore Bertie's room, transforming it into a fantastical wonderland with imaginary creatures and glowing objects. They encounter friendly fireflies, twinkling stars, and enchanting glow-in-the-dark paintings. Each discovery fills Bertie with delight and helps him see the beauty and wonder that the darkness holds.
Throughout their journey, Hana and her friends constantly reassure Bertie that the night light will be awaiting him when he returns to his bed. They emphasize that it will always be there to provide comfort and help him feel safe. By the end of their exploration, Bertie acquires a newfound appreciation for the night light and the sense of security it brings.
Back at Bertie's bedside, Hana and her friends bid him goodnight, confident that his fear of the dark will soon become a thing of the past. They express their admiration for his bravery and adventurous spirit while assuring him that they will always be there to support him.
