Episode 122: Mokey's Funeral

Fraggle Rock
Air Date	June 6, 1983
Written by	Jerry Juhl and Susan Juhl
Director	Jim Henson

Junior Gorg: I just caught a Fraggle... It's terrible.
Ma Gorg: No, no, Junior... I think catching Fraggles is terrible. You think catching Fraggles is wonderful! Go look in the mirror, you've forgotten which one of us you are again.

Junior Gorg puts a Fraggle trap in front of the entrance to the Gorgs' Garden. Mokey thinks of a plan to get past the trap, but her plan makes Junior -- and Mokey's friends -- think the trap backfired with tragic consequences.

Fraggle Facts

• This episode begins to suggest a growing romance between Gobo and Mokey. When Gobo thinks that Mokey is dead, he sobs, "I never got to tell her...so many things." This theme is picked up a couple episodes later, in "New Trash Heap in Town."
