Explorer's Day is the first episode of LEGO Friends: Girls on a Mission Season 2.
Synopsis[]
A series of calamitous mishaps beset the girls as they attempt to perform a play about the founding of Heartlake City.
Plot (Spoilers)[]
The girls are putting on Heartlake City's annual play about the explorers.
The girls are enjoying themselves, getting ready for the big night, when Stephanie tackles Emma and Andrea, to avoid a falling sandbag. Mia says that there are so many ropes and it's hard to control them.
Andrea tells her she should better learn to control the ropes before the big night. Mia starts mocking and mimicking Andrea. The group laughs at Mia's impression of her.
The group start talking about what they have to do before the play. Emma starts talking about the many things she has to do, but has to suddenly tackle Andrea to avoid a falling sandbag. Andrea moans about how show business is harder than it looks, and Mia wonders how the sandbags fell when there was nobody controlling them.
Emma suggests taking a few photos to commemorate this year's play, and the girls make serious faces, funny faces, and a few cast and crew pics.
Meanwhile, Dr Alvah is holding a broken Alvahbot head in her hands, annoyed that people aren't going to forget the Alvahbot disaster. Carter Greene, her new business partner, is talking about her city of the future.
Back at the theatre, Emma and Ethan are painting the ship. Ethan, accidentally-on-purpose, paints her cheek, and coincidentally, Zobo throws confetti around, with Emma and Ethan looking at each other. However, their romantic confetti moment is ruined when Olivia tells Zobo to use less wind, as the confetti is for the actual show. Emma says she thought she was imagining that, and is glad she wasn't.
Zobo starts getting out of control, flying everywhere, causing Mia to accidentally pull on the sandbags. He then crashes into the costume trolley Andrea is pushing, causing it to go straight to the control lever. Vicky realises too late that the control lever is going to open a trapdoor underneath her "'rock' and she falls underneath it. Then the ship falls. The girls escape, with Ethan carrying Emma.
Martin starts getting worried about Vicky, the mermaid, and wondering where she is. She shouts out and he opens the trapdoor to find an injured Vicky. Vicky can't walk. Martin foolishly lets go of her, and Stephanie and Emma catch her just in time.
Martin starts dramatically wailing that he has no mermaid and that means no shipwreck, and that means no show. Mia remarks that she thought Andrea was dramatic.
Stephanie is determined to make the play a success, so she starts telling everyone what to do. She realises they are still in need of a mermaid, and thinks of Mia. Mia doesn't want to be a mermaid, but she can't do anything, as Vicky gives her her headband and she is forced to accept.
Then it is the night of the show. The girls are getting ready. Dr Alvah and Carter Greene arrive, in red carpet style.
The play begins, with Martin narrating. The explorers are on their ship, the Heart of the Sea. They are looking for adventure, and sailing, when all of a sudden a storm tosses their ship to and fro. They try their best to save their ship, but it is slowly sinking. They lose all hope.
Here, a mermaid is supposed to appear, but Mia still doesn't want to be one, so Olivia has to push her onto the stage. Mia forgot what she had to say, so Olivia has to prompt her. Mia finally does her job, and the scene ends with the explorers happy that a mermaid saved them.
Carter Greene is interested in the ship's treasure, and Dr Alvah wonders why,
Then Martin tells about how the explorers built the city, and that's how Heartlake City came to be.
The episode ends with the group bowing.
