Episode 1: I Can't Stop Hiccupping
Lola and Lotta are practicing a song for a spring play. They find themselves amused by the song, but their constant laughter gives Lola the hiccups. Lola tries various things to keep them away, but when they keep coming back she worries that they may mess up the singing during the play.
Episode 2: I Am Completely Hearing and Also Listening
Lola says that she is a good listener, but she often gets lost in her own things and does not pay attention to what is being said to her properly. When she and Charlie get a puppet theater from granny and grandpa, Lola does not listen when Charlie reads the instructions and puts it together all wrong. Lola does not listen at school and spills water, and also causes herself and Charlie to miss a fun party being held by Arnold Wolf. Charlie, however, is convinced that Lola can learn to listen and has a great idea to help her.
Episode 3: Our Shop Sells Everything
Lola and Lotta are having a lot of fun playing shop. Much of their shop is just pretend, but they have some real things for sale as well. What they don't have is a real customer, that is, until Morten Lowe comes along. Morten is a tough customer, but they have just the item for him. Thing is, it isn't actually their item to sell, and now they're in a bind with Charlie.
Episode 4: I've Got Nobody To Play With
When Lola gets a new felt play-set, she says at first that she can play with it all on her own. She soon finds that she'd like somebody to play with, but Charlie is spending the day with Marv. Her friends all seem busy, so Lola begins to worry, until she remembers an idea suggested by Charlie
Episode 5: Thunder Completely Does Not Scare Me
Lola claims she's not afraid of thunder, but she keeps jumping and screaming every time she hears a thunderclap. Charlie knows that she's scared and tries to show her that thunderstorms are nothing to be afraid of. He views the storm together with her, an intense storm that later changes to hail. He also teaches her all about the weather, pretending to be a television weather reporter.
Episode 6: I Really Absolutely Must Have Glasses
When Lola learns that she's going to be visiting the optician to have her eyes checked, she doesn't want to go. She's already checked her own eyes and they're fine at everything from reading, to seeing shapes and colors. Then, Lola and Lotta realize that their friend Mini Reader wears glasses and learn all about them from her. Suddenly, Lola really wants glasses and is sure she will pick out the perfect pair. Charlie, however, warns her that she will only get glasses if the optician discovers something wrong with her eyes.
Episode 7: It Is Very Special and Extremely Ancient
Lola is excited when Charlie gets a fossil from their dad to add to his collection. Charlie agrees to let her take it to school and when Lotta sees it, she suggests that the two of them search for fossils together. The two start searching, without much success, but their prospects are brightened when they learn that their parents are taking them on a beach trip to search for fossils.
Episode 8: But Marv is Absolutely Charlie's Best Friend
When Lola and Lotta overhear Charlie and Marv imitating pirate talk from the show Captain Squidbones, they're worried that the two aren't friends anymore. Marv calls Charlie "jellyguts" and Charlie tells Marv he doesn't want to see his face in the house ever again. The two are only playing, but Lola doesn't realize this and thinks they've fallen out with each other. This idea is reinforced when Lola sees Marv playing with cousin Jack, who he invited over to join in the Captain Squidbones game. Lola and Lotta hatch a plan to get Charlie and Marv talking again.
Episode 9: I Am Inventing a Usefulish Invention
Charlie and Marv are studying inventions, as they have to create an invention for a school project. Lola is interested in the idea, and decides that she too wants to be an inventor. The boys indicate that she should go for it, but are really too absorbed in their own project to notice her much. As the two struggle to come up with an idea for their project, Lola sets to work.
