**Beyond Thunder Dot** is the first segment of 9th episode in season 2 of Harvey Street Kids. The title of the episode is a reference to the 1985 film *Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome*.

## Synopsis

After learning that Frufru does not believe in climate change after seeing her waste resources, Dot tries indirectly to tell her the consequences of it.

## Plot

The episode begins with Dot asking the girls for some materials to make a natural collage as a way to celebrate Earth Day, when Audrey was about to burst a piñata made of fertilizer, she trips over a cable loaded by Frufru who passes through the girls' college. Then they follow her not far from there, where she is sitting in a folding chair. Frufru begins to waste resources using heating lamps, fans, a bag because she used it once and comment to them that she used fixative three times a day. Meanwhile, Dot begins to confront her for what happened, mentioning that her actions accentuate climate change, with Frufru responding that she does not believe in it and Dot is upset saying that it is a well-founded study.

When Dot was about to continue to challenge her, Lotta stops her and Dot sets out to convince her. Audrey wants to hypnotize her and Lotta wants to show her pictures of endangered animals. Dot however tries to convince her indirectly by doing a fashion show with the girls, with Frufru complaining saying that fashion has no meaning. Later, Dot sends her a video with the hashtag "#Fluexclusive" showing an animated version of the earth getting sad after tripping over a can because a person had previously thrown it on the ground. Frufru notes who sent her the video saying that climate change is still false. Dot then proceeds to do something more drastic by transforming the block into an apocalyptic version of it.

When Frufru leaves her home, the street is quite hot, and she complains about the lack of water, Tiny comes to the scene by bicycle offering water for a trillion dollars since the natural resources are exhausted. When Frufru asked to pay with credit, he responds that the banking system collapsed. When Dot appears, Frufru tells him that climate change is real and it is the best thing that has happened to her since the present heat acts as a sauna. Audrey and Lotta also try to convince her by acting like a mutated monster and saying that the animals were lost. But she only focuses on herself saying that she looks prettier in the photos and that the animals were a competition to her.

When Tiny supposedly drank all the clean bottled water and Dot tells her that the street has no more, Frufru using a megaphone tells the street kids that there is underground water under a flower and proposes to destroy it using a machine powered by a bicycle with a pointed end. The girls stop the machine and Frufru prepares to destroy it with a shovel. Dot struggles with her and ends up telling her the truth, but Frufru tells her that she already knew.

Dot tells her that he did everything for the natural beauty of the planet and tells her that it hurts when she treats the planet like trash. But Frufru comments that Dot only wanted to teach her by force, see some clothes she doesn't like and see a filthy version of the neighborhood. Frufru proceeds to tell her that since Dot cares about things that seem cute, then she will be against climate change, but not before telling the girls not to mess with her. The episode concludes with Lotta telling Dot that she will stop her antigravity course for her pet rabbits, as she was planning to move to another planet if the original plan didn't work out.
