Episode Title:
The Puffball Collection/The Bottle Cap Collection
Episode Description:
The Puffball Collection: Lotta is nervous about competing in the Fuzzytown Music Maker Championship. Lotta's friends attend the championship to cheer her on. Lotta realizes she has forgotten her headphones, as the music and cheering in the championship triggers her hypersensitivity to sound. Her friends notice her stress but are unaware of her hypersensitivity. Using Carl's suggestions, they try to help her such as by cheering her on and providing new cans for her instrument set. After Carl accidentally drops the cans, the resulting sound leading Lotta to flee the championship, Carl realizes that rather than helping Lotta through ways that would help Carl, he should ask what is bothering Lotta. When Lotta tells Carl her problem, Carl makes a makeshift headphone using puffballs and two cans, allowing Lotta play in the championship.
The Bottle Cap Collection: The night after returning from a weekend visit to Harold's, Carl realizes he has left behind his bottle cap collection. Unable to sleep, Carl continually interrupts Sheldon's sleep through a walkie-talkie for help, with each idea from Sheldon proving unsatisfactory to Carl. Sheldon helps Carl figure out why he feels bad about the missing bottle cap collection, with Carl realizing that he is worried about the collection's safety. Carl and Maude call Harold, who reassures Carl that he will keep the collection safe and return it in the morning.
