Ep. 9 • Self-Control
During a snack break from their intense practice session, the band decided to venture out for a meal, leaving their instruments unattended. Seizing the opportunity, the mischievous roaches leaped onto the instruments, attempting to unleash their inner rock 'n' roll stars. However, their lack of musical talent resulted in a cacophony of discordant sounds that grated on the ears. In their wild antics, the roaches inadvertently caused significant damage to the instruments, particularly the drums.
Upon their return, the band was devastated to find the aftermath of the roaches' disastrous performance. Sally, in particular, was livid and filled with anger. She stomped around, ready to unleash her wrath upon the roaches, when she noticed Wilbur and Chick hiding in the bushes. Sally's fury was about to reach its peak when Wilbur, sheepish but trying to make amends, stepped forward with a roll of tape and a tube of glue. Although it was clear that these supplies were insufficient to fix the damage, the fact that Wilbur was making an effort touched Sally.
The band gathered around Sally, who took a deep breath and sighed, accepting the tape and glue from Wilbur. With determination in their eyes, they plodded off-screen towards Sally's drums, ready to salvage what they could. As Wilbur watched on, and Chick slid off to join the others, the band came together to mend their cherished instruments. Despite the setback, their camaraderie and determination to fix what had been broken proved that their love for music and each other transcended any obstacle.
In the end, the band's resilience and unity prevailed. Through their joint efforts, they aimed to restore their instruments to their former glory, their shared passion for music propelling them forward. While the road to recovery may not be easy, the band's unwavering dedication and the support they offered one another would undoubtedly lead to a triumphant comeback.
Ep. 8 • Mercy
Winston was supposed to be diligently cleaning his room, but instead, he sneaked out to engage in mischievous activities. Armed with his trusty slingshot, he indulged in target practice, unaware of the trouble he was about to str up. His aim went awry, accidentally hitting the side of the roaches' home. Realizing the consequences of his actions, Winston swiftly made a run for it, leaving chaos in his wake.
As he continued his reckless escapades, wreaking havoc wherever he went, Winston found himself cornered by both the band and the roaches. Gracie and the crew, disappointed and frustrated by his behavior, came down hard on him. They confiscated his catapult, leaving Winston feeling remorseful and defeated, tears streaming down his face. His room was a mess, reflecting the turmoil within him.
However, the band couldn't bear to see Winston in such distress. Moved by his remorse, they decided to extend their support and lend a helping hand in tidying up the room. Despite his continued melancholy over losing his beloved catapult, Winston was grateful for the camaraderie and assistance offered by his friends.
Just as they were deep in the cleaning process, a knock resounded at the door. To everyone's surprise, it was Chick and Wilbur. Chick, urged by Wilbur's gentle nudge, reluctantly handed over the confiscated catapult. Offering Winston a stern look, Chick turned and walked out, followed by Wilbur, leaving Winston to ponder the weight of their actions and the significance of their presence.
In that moment, Winston realized that even though he had made mistakes, his friends were there to guide and forgive him. With renewed determination, he set out to make amends for his behavior and restore the trust he had lost.

Ep. 7 • Faithfulness
Granny B entrusted Grit with the responsibility of looking after a tray of delectable cakes, his absolute favorites. She made it explicitly clear that he mustn't lay a finger on them and that Gracie and the rest of the gang would be joining later. The irresistible aroma of the freshly baked cakes wafted its way to the Roaches, tempting them into devising cunning plans to pilfer the goodies. A series of comedic scams and sneaky grabs ensued, as Grit found himself doing everything he could to thwart their attempts while battling his own overwhelming temptation to sneak a cake or two for himself.
In a nail-biting struggle, Grit teetered on the edge of surrendering to the sweet temptation but managed to resist at the last possible moment. Just when it seemed like the battle against the cakes was reaching its breaking point, the band arrived, bearing presents and snacks for their eagerly anticipated games night. As it turned out, Granny B had prepared the cakes specifically for Grit, as a token of appreciation for his assistance with the cleaning. They were a special treat reserved exclusively for him.
With the band's arrival, the stage was set for a joyous gathering. The roaches, defeated and grumbling, kicked objects down the road in frustration, realizing that their scheming had come to naught. Meanwhile, Grit's self-restraint and unwavering dedication to Granny B's instructions paid off, as he discovered that his patience and obedience had earned him not only the satisfaction of doing the right thing but also a delightful surprise from his beloved Granny and the warmth of his friends' company.
Ep. 6 • Goodness
Following a severe storm that wreaked havoc on their valley, the crew rallied together to assist with the general cleanup. However, unbeknownst to them, the Roaches' humble abode had also been torn apart by the powerful winds. Initially, it seemed as though the Roaches were merely getting in the way, hindering the crew's efforts. But as tensions escalated, it became evident that the Roaches were attempting to salvage what they could to fix up their own dwelling.
A confrontation ensued between the band and the Roaches, with Chick's pride hindering their ability to admit that they, too, required assistance. However, in a twist of fate, Chick injured their leg during the exchange, causing them to reluctantly concede that help was indeed needed. With this admission, the entre group joined forces, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the task of repairing the Roaches' home. Though Chick was initially begrudging in expressing their gratitude, they couldn't help but appreciate the collective effort being put forth.
As the crew diligently worked, restoring the Roaches' dwelling to its former state, Chick's mindset began to shift. Among the discarded items, Chick stumbled upon something they had previously dismissed as tacky but now saw the potential for beauty in it. Secretly, they decided to keep it as a reminder of their changing perspective and newfound appreciation for the Roaches and their humble abode.
In the end, as the renovated Roaches' home stood proudly once again, Chick couldn't help but begrudgingly acknowledge the significance of the group's collective effort. While maintaining their gruff demeanor, a glimmer of gratitude and respect shone through Chick's actions, as they found themselves embracing the lessons of humility and finding beauty in unexpected places.
Ep. 5 • Kindness
Wilbur sat alone, engulfed in misery, his spirits low and his demeanor gloomy. Meanwhile, there were cutaways revealing Chick's and his own mischievous endeavors, as they schemed various ways to sabotage the band's practice. Each plan was more absurd and elaborate than the last, resulting in spectacularly hilarious failures, all while the band remained blissfully oblivious (although they might have caught a glimpse of the chaos). With each failed attempt, Chick took out their frustrations on poor Wilbur, exacerbating his already downcast state. As a result, Wilbur withdrew further, becoming a somber figure lost in his own sadness.
Chick, realizing Wilbur's absence, embarked on a search for their despondent companion. Discovering Wilbur and witnessing the depths of their sorrow, guilt washed over Chick. Determined to lift Wilbur's spirits, Chick made valiant attempts to cheer them up. Finally, in a burst of inspiration, Chick had a eureka moment and dashed off, only to return with a box of donuts! The sight of the delicious treats managed to coax a faint smile from Wilbur, which gradually blossomed into a wide grin as he indulged in the sugary delights. Annoyingly happy, Wilbur happily devoured the donuts, his countenance shifting from melancholy to contentment.
However, true to his gruff and brooding nature, Wilbur quickly reverted to his usual demeanor once his attention shifted away. Unbeknownst to him, though, Chick couldn't help but crack a small smile when Wilbur wasn't looking, hinting at a glimmer of a kindhearted side hidden beneath their mischievous exterior. Perhaps there was a heart in Chick after all, a subtle reminder that even the most impish characters can harbor genuine care and concern for their friends.
Ep. 4 • Patience
Winston, a bundle of relentless energy, always finds himself entangled in one predicament after another. Slightly mischievous and definitely the class clown, he possesses very little patience. On this particular occasion, the crew had ordered pizza for their highly anticipated board game night, and Winston's hunger was gnawing at him. Buzzing around like an overexcited whirlwind, he became completely distracted, emitting an incessant "Are we there yet?" vibe reminiscent of young children on a long car journey. As time crawled by, his restlessness began to grate on everyone's nerves.
Finally, the long-awaited moment arrived the pizza was at their doorstep. Without a moment's hesitation, Winston snatched the boxes and eagerly tore one open, greedily cramming a scalding-hot, steamy slice into his mouth. Alas, the impatience proved to be his downfall as he burned his tongue, rendering him unable to savor any more of the piping hot pizza. His eagerness had backfired, leaving him unable to enjoy the anticipated feast.
In the end, as a consolation, Winston was offered a soothing bowl of ice cream. This incident served as a valuable lesson for him, a reminder of the consequences that impatience and rash actions can bring. While he missed out on the delectable pizza, the experience left an indelible impression, teaching him the importance of exercising restraint and embracing a more measured approach in his endeavors.
Ep. 3 • Peace
Gracie was desperately seeking some peace and quiet to indulge in her favorite pastime of reading. However, wherever she went, there seemed to be a never-ending cacophony of noise and distractions. This constant barrage of disruptions was becoming incredibly frustrating for her, leading to some comedic scenes as she tried to find a serene spot. But then, finally, she stumbled upon a place near the tranquil lake that appeared to be perfect. The scene was idyllic and serene, creating an atmosphere of tranquility. Gracie excitedly laid down her blanket, set up her picnic, and settled down with her book, hoping to finally enjoy some uninterrupted reading time.
However, just as she was about to lose herself in the pages, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted Chick sitting against a tree. Their eyes met, and it seemed like Gracie's perfect peace was about to be spoiled. Yet, to her surprise, she noticed that Chick was reading the exact same book as her (the specific book to be determined). A warm smile of recognition spread across both of their faces, as they realized their shared love for literature.
With a newfound connection, they decided to respect each other's space and settled comfortably in their respective spots to read, occasionally exchanging amused side-eye smiles. As they immersed themselves in their books, the sun's gentle rays caressed the lake, casting a serene glow upon the scene. In the background, mayhem continued to unfold, but Gracie and Chick remained blissfully undisturbed, lost in the tranquility of their shared reading experience. As the camera pans out, they were left peacefully absorbed in their books, enjoying the much-desired calmness they had sought for so long.
Ep. 2 • Joy
Despite the rain and the cancellation of band practice, Sally had made a promise to meet Grit at the Lightning tree, knowing that he would be waiting there. Reluctantly, she ventured out into the wet weather, despising the rain and longing for the warmth of the sun. As she arrived at the designated spot, she was completely drenched and utterly fed up, only to discover Grit acting like a carefree child at a splash park. This sight didn't bring her any joy, especially when the mischievous roaches decided to play a prank and throw mud at her. Her spirits plummeted even further. However, Grit's antics in the wet and muddy clearing took an unexpected turn. He showed Sally how much fun it could be to embrace the moment and indulge in some playful splashing, seeking revenge on the roaches in the process. Through his actions, he demonstrated that even in the smallest of things, we can find joy if we adjust our perspective and attitude. Sally began to realize that it wasn't just about the rain ruining her day; it was about how she chose to perceive and respond to it.
Ep. 1 • Love - (Agape)
The story begins with the band, who were out running errands for Grannie B to earn their pocket money. They had been saving up to buy a new guitar for Grit. While they were at the store, the mischievous Roaches kept causing trouble and creating chaos in the aisles.
Finally, when the crew finished their shopping and approached the checkout, they noticed that the Roaches were having difficulties. Their card was declined, and their wallet was empty. This news upset Wilbur greatly because he was hungry. Chick, on the other hand, was feeling agitated. However, just as the situation seemed bleak, the sound of a cheerful "Ding" resonated from the till, indicating that Grit had paid for their bill.
The Roaches were left dumbfounded by this unexpected act of kindness. Although it meant that the band would need to save up a little longer for the new guitar, they knew deep down that it was the right thing to do.
