Tee and Mo season 1 episode 29, titled Face Wipe, opens with a sunny morning, and Tee and Mo are playing outside. Tee is practicing cartwheels while Mo looks on. After Tee does a cartwheel, he falls and gets grass stains on his face. Mo suggests washing his face, but Tee is not ready to end the game yet. As they continue to play, Tee doesn't realize that he is getting even more dirty.
Soon, it is time for lunch, and Mo takes Tee inside to wash his face. But Tee doesn't want to stop playing again, and he doesn't want to take a break to wash his face. Mo tries to convince him, explaining how important it is to clean his face properly. She tells Tee that it would be easier to clean his face now instead of waiting until it gets worse and harder to clean later. Tee remains adamant, so Mo gives up and prepares lunch.
At lunchtime, Tee cannot help but touch his face, smudging his lunch all over it. Mo tells him to use a napkin to wipe his face, but Tee refuses, claiming that he will do it himself. Eventually, Mo persuades him to use a napkin, but when Tee attempts to wipe his face, it only smears the food further. Mo tells him that he needs to be gentle when wiping his face, but Tee doesn't seem to understand.
Determined to show Tee how to correctly wipe his face, Mo gets out a wet cloth and demonstrates how to wipe in a circular motion, being careful around the eyes and mouth. When Tee tries, he still struggles and ends up getting more of the food on his face. Mo suggests they practice face wiping, but Tee is not interested and insists on going back to playing.
As the day goes on, Tee forgets about the mess on his face and continues playing. Mo notices that other children are staring at Tee and it makes her upset. She groans in frustration, realizing that Tee doesn't understand how important it is to look clean and tidy. Even the birds start to follow Tee, attracted to the food on his face.
Later that day, after playing outside, Tee is exhausted and finally agrees to let Mo wash his face. She uses a soft cloth to carefully wipe away the grime, and Tee is amazed at how clean and fresh his face feels. Mo tells Tee that it's important to keep his face clean for many reasons, including keeping healthy and feeling good about himself.
In the end, Tee realizes that face wiping doesn't have to be tedious, and he can make it a fun part of his day. The episode ends with Mo and Tee sharing a laugh as Tee makes faces into the mirror, admiring his clean face.
