Ep 3. The Damaged Room

Following the success of the Monsters Inc. movie franchise, the beloved Monsters are back with a brand new series, Monsters at Work. The show takes viewers back to the bustling city of Monstropolis where these creatures continue to harness children's laughter to power their world. Though the premise remains the same, the show puts a spin on things as we get to meet new characters and see how the company has evolved since the end of the first film.

In the third episode of Monsters at Work season 1, titled "The Damaged Room," we meet Tyler Tuskmon, a recent graduate of Monsters University who has landed his dream job at Monsters Inc. However, things don't go exactly to plan for Tyler when he's tasked with fixing a damaged door in the Scare Floor, an area of the company that has been rendered obsolete after the discovery that laughter is more powerful than screams.

Tyler is determined to prove himself to his bosses, Mike Wazowski and Sully, and is eager to impress them with his door repair skills. He is given a small room to work in, but quickly realizes that he underestimated the level of damage done to the door. Tyler is confident in his abilities, but he quickly becomes overwhelmed as he tries to repair the door. As the clock ticks away, Tyler becomes increasingly frustrated and spends the majority of his time trying to fix the door, while ignoring the other work he's been assigned.

Meanwhile, we also see the return of a fan favorite character, Celia Mae, who is adjusting to her new role as the company's Safety Manager. She has several mishaps trying to enforce new safety regulations, including a run in with Sulley who is reluctant to follow the new rules. As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that the damaged door situation is more complicated than Tyler initially thought. The problem turns out to be not just the door itself, but also a larger issue that threatens Monsters Inc.'s entire operation.

Ultimately, it's up to Tyler and his teammates to work together and overcome the obstacle in front of them. Though it's a difficult task, Tyler learns a valuable lesson about teamwork and the importance of trusting your colleagues. As the episode comes to a close, we see Tyler finally fixing the damaged door, and he's greeted with applause from his co-workers.

Overall, "The Damaged Room" is a great addition to the series, fitting in perfectly with the Monsters Inc. universe while introducing new storylines and characters. We get to see some familiar faces alongside new ones, which will keep fans of the original films engaged. The episode also has enough humor and heart to make it enjoyable for all ages. This episode is a must-watch for anyone who loves all things Monsters Inc. or fans of family-friendly comedy.
