In season 1 episode 11, titled The Blobfish Brothers, the Octonauts receive a distress call from two blobfish brothers, Blodger and Blodwyn. The brothers are in trouble as their home in the deepest part of the ocean, the Midnight Zone, is being flooded with water from an unknown source. The Octonauts quickly mobilize and embark on a mission to help the brothers and save their home.

The team sets off in the Gup-E, a vehicle designed for deep-sea exploration. As they make their way to the Midnight Zone, the Octonauts come across various obstacles. They encounter a swarm of bioluminescent jellyfish that are attracted to the Gup-E's lights. They also face a tricky navigation challenge when they come across a maze of underwater caverns.

Despite these challenges, the Octonauts eventually arrive at the Midnight Zone and find Blodger and Blodwyn's home. The brothers are overjoyed to see the Octonauts and explain the situation to them. It turns out that the source of the flooding was a crack in the wall of their home.

The Octonauts set to work fixing the crack by using a special underwater sealant. While they work, the team discovers some interesting facts about blobfish. They learn that blobfish have a gelatinous body that allows them to live at great depths with little effort. They also discover that blobfish have a unique defense mechanism where they puff themselves up like a balloon to deter predators.

After successfully fixing the crack and saving Blodger and Blodwyn's home, the team celebrates with a blobfish-themed party. The Octonauts learn how to make a traditional blobfish dish and have a blast dancing and singing along to blobfish-inspired music.

Overall, The Blobfish Brothers is a fun and educational episode that teaches young viewers about deep-sea creatures while also entertaining them with an engaging story. The episode reinforces the show's themes of teamwork, problem-solving, and environmental conservation.
