Synopsis
It's O's birthday, but R has forgotten to get him a present! Can she magic up a big wheel, a helter-skelter and a hall of mirrors from thin air?
Plot
It's O's birthday, and R has gotten him a present, but she isn't sure what it is. She sticks with A and I, forming trigraph AIR. F flies by.
f-air, FAIR!
A funfair appears. O starts at the ferris wheel, but doesn't find anything to sit on.
ch-air, CHAIR!
O sits in and the ride goes. P pops in.
p-air, PAIR!
O splits in two as the ride continues. Next he comes to the helterskelter. After a few times going up and down, he gets dizzy. Trigraph URE makes sure he gets better.
c-ure, CURE!
O feels better. Next he goes to the hall of mirrors. O goes to the first mirror. E and R sticks, forming ER. B, I, and G appears.
b-i-g, BIG!
In the first mirror, O's reflection is big. G doubles herself up.
b-i-gg-er, BIGGER!
O's reflection grows bigger. O goes to the second mirror. TH, I, and N appears.
th-i-n, THIN!
O's reflection in the second mirror is thin. N doubles himself up.
th-i-nn-er, THINNER!
O's reflection grows thinner. O goes to the third mirror. A drops in between E and R.
ear, EAR!
O grows an ear.
h-ear, HEAR!
O hears distant voices.
It's B and X singing Happy Birthday.
n-ear, NEAR!

Trivia
- Total words: 12
- D, J, K, L, M, Q, S, V, W, Y, and Z are absent in this episode.
- Other common "-ear" trigraph words are BEAR, PEAR, and WEAR, but they are not included because the sound the "-ear" makes in them is pronounced /ɛɚ/ (like "air") rather than /ɪɚ/ (like "ear").
- A, B, C, E, G, H, I, N, X, digraphs CH, TH, GG, NN, ER, and trigraph EAR only say their sound in this episode.
- A, B, E, I, N, X, digraphs CH, GG, NN, and ER are the only ones who say their sound outside of word magic.
- T only appears as digraph TH for the whole episode.
- Since TH's sound stays sounding like /θ/ (unvoiced), then it's possible that only one voice (maybe H) says it.
- T and U have no solo lines.
- No words are made with the digraph OO.
- This episode marks the only appearances of digraphs GG and NN, and trigraph URE.
- ”Cure” is the only word in the series to use the URE digraph. This is because the trigraph -ure is mainly used in words with two or more syllables, like “picture”.
- The song in this episode also used in Birthday Girl.
- There are also other R trigraphs, such as "OOR", "OAR", "ARE", "OUR", and "ORE".
