They are pretending that their dolls are fixing one of the houses which was damaged in a thunderstorm.

Well that makes sense.

If Eefa can find a doll she will help pretend to fix an area that no one else is fixing.

The other kids accommodate this just fine; she can have a doll working on the foundation of the house while the rest are fixing the roof. Has she taken an unattended purple doll, or is she using another color?

If everyone else is using purple and there is a purple leftover she will use one, otherwise she picks another color like orange or yellow or red.

Everyone else is using purple and about half the dolls are purple so there are some spares.

Purple it is! 

She does her best to copy the fixing of the others, though she's not really sure how this is done.

They're not terribly sophisticated about it, except for the oldest kid who is actually talking about drill bits and drywall anchors and stud finders. The little one is just bopping her doll up and down going "fix fix fix!"

"fix? fix?"

Is this how it is done.

"It's all fix now!" declares Anina after some while, and Timio puts down her doll, pats her on the head, and goes back to watching TV on her everything. Shahn and Timio start negotiating hide and seek (he's accustomed to a shorter count than she is and she wants the bathroom out of bounds).

Eefa goes back to her prior activity of sitting apart and staring at people, choosing one at a time to look at closely.

Timio is flopped on a beanbag, looking listlessly at her TV show. She shakes her head when Chioss leans in to ask her a question; Chioss leaves her alone. Sometimes she twirls a lock of her dark purple hair around one finger.

Eefa positions herself to check what Timio is watching from a distance.

It's a show about a hairdressing salon. The hairdresser ensemble cast is arguing over who gets the new client, who is blue.

Eefa has absolutely no idea what this is about but will keep watching to see if she can figure it out. She is good at that.

They narrow down the possibilities and the two top contenders decide to compete on who makes the most in tips that day. For the rest of the episode one of them gives child clients extra complimentary lollipops and the other seeds his own tip jar when no one is looking and the one has a cancellation and calls someone to reschedule for the open slot and the other has a no-show and poaches a client from a noncompeting co-worker. By the end of the episode everyone else is thoroughly sick of this and then the blue shows up and asks to be styled by a different character after all, having apparently heard good things.

.... Eefa has not become less confused.

Are any of the other children doing more understandable things?

Shahn is playing with a puzzle toy. Anina is building with blocks.

Eefa can help with the blocks if Anina doesn't mind?

Anina will accept this with only moderate bossiness about what blocks Eefa may have.

Bossiness is use-ful since otherwise she wouldn't know! Much better than people just punishing her later. Or trying to get her to take other people's things which has happ-ened before.

Then they will successfully build a series of wobbly towers and castles and apartment complexes that fall down only to be promptly recycled and remade.

"Oh, I'm sorry that mine fell down."

"That's how blocks," says Anina wisely.

Good, because Eefa does not know how to make blocks not while building them like Anina.

The oranges prepare lunch for everybody. It's sandwiches. Mikko comes over to ask Eefa what she likes on sandwiches.
