In "Escape from Flea Island," Martha and her human companions, Helen and her friends, find themselves stranded on a deserted island after a mishap during a boat trip. Unable to communicate with the people around her, Martha is at a loss on how to get back home. However, Martha's ability to speak comes in handy as she befriends a group of stranded fleas, who offer their assistance.
With Martha serving as the translator between the humans and the fleas, the group starts working together to devise an escape plan. Resourceful and witty, Martha quickly realizes that their best chance of making it back to the mainland lies in building a raft from the supplies they have salvaged. As they work tirelessly, Martha bonds with the fleas, all while keeping her secret talent hidden from Helen and her friends.
Meanwhile, the fleas, with their tiny size and ability to cling onto things, prove to be invaluable allies as they help Martha and her human companions navigate the treacherous terrain of the island. Facing various obstacles along the way, from prickly bushes to treacherous water currents, Martha and her newfound flea friends must use their combined skills and intelligence to overcome each challenge and make it back to safety.
As the adventure unfolds, Martha discovers the true power of teamwork and friendship. Despite their differences in size and species, Martha and the fleas learn to rely on each other's strengths and develop a deep sense of trust. The episode highlights the importance of empathy and understanding, showing how animals and humans can work together towards a common goal.
In the second part of the episode, "No Dogs Allowed," Martha finds herself in the middle of a sticky situation when she is inadvertently banned from the local park. To her surprise, the park has recently implemented a new rule that prohibits dogs from entering its premises. Feeling excluded and disheartened, Martha sets out to find a solution.
With her characteristic determination and a touch of mischief, Martha devises a plan to convince the park authorities that dogs are not the problem.

Along the way, she enlists the help of her furry friends and neighbors to showcase the many talents and abilities that dogs possess.
