   #2 - Red-Handed And The Invisible Thief

   S3:E21/7/1985

   Red absolutely loves her radish bars (which are the equivalent of Pop-Tarts in our world). So when she sees that whenever she wakes up from sleeping that her bars are missing, she sets out to find the crook, which leads her to think her roommate Mokey stole them. She also gets Gobo to hide in a hole outside her room to watch and see if it really is Mokey; after Gobo gets distracted from reading a postcard, the bars go missing again, but Gobo claims he didn't see anything. So finally she gets Wembley to stay the night with her to catch the thief, and what Wembley finds ends up being quite surprising.

    Mokey really, really wants to be a part of the Secret Society of Poohbahs, even though Red keeps telling her it's just a silly club.

She tells Red of her invitation, only to find out that she wasn't supposed to tell anyone about it. She goes back to find out if she can be a part of the society, but when a member called the Mind-Reader knows that Mokey told her roommate of the invitation, she's immediately rejected, but the Beggler Beg and the Vanguard (who look an awful lot like Gillis Fraggle and Convincing John) say that, if she brings her roommate to verify that Mokey's legit, she can be a Poohbah. Mokey gets all worked up about this, but when she brings Red back so she can be a Poohbah, Mokey finally learns not to take anything too serious that these Fraggles tell her.

Back then, Fraggles either ate mushrooms or Doozer constructions, but when the mushrooms run out, Uncle Gobo and Matt try to find some food. However, Matt causes a rock quake, and breaks Uncle Gobo's leg. So Matt goes off by himself to find food, and as he's wandering, a rock slide occurs, and when it's over, Matt finds a hole out into the Gorg's Garden. He goes out to explore, scares Ma and Pa Gorg, and brings back to the Rock a radish, which Matt thinks is a shiny red boulder, thus giving the Fraggles a new food source.
