A caption reads "TVO Kids presents."

In animation, the opening of the show rolls.

As the sun comes up between the mountains, colourful letters with different mood facial expressions form the name of the show. It reads "How do you feel?"

Akin sits in his room, knitting.

Akin is in his mid-teens, with slightly long braided brown hair and wears black trousers and a bright orange hooted sweatshirt.

Akin's room is full of colourful furniture, has different colour walls, a black and white checkered floor, pink curtains, and a neon sign that reads "Feelings" behind a couch.

He says PULL. HOOK. BACK AROUND.
HOOK AGAIN. PULL, BUT NOT
TOO TIGHT. UH!
HAVE YOU GUYS EVER TRIED TO
CROCHET A SCARF?
THIS IS MY FIRST TIME,
AND LET ME TELL YOU
IT'S A LOT TRICKIER
THAN IT LOOKS.
THOSE PEOPLE KNITTING ON THE BUS
REALLY KNOW THEIR STUFF!
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.
SO, THROUGH THE HOLE. HOOK.
PULL THROUGH. AROUND.
PULL THROUGH BOTH. PULL, BUT
NOT TOO TIGHT. HA!
THE SCARF'S GOT NOTHING ON ME.
OK, HERE WE GO.
HOOK. PULL THROUGH ONCE.
TWICE. HA! I DON'T NEED A BOOK
TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO.

He mixes different yarn colours and says THIS COULD BE COOL.

He quickly gets tangled in yarn.

He says MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE LOOKED AT
THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS PART.
UNLESS...
OK. I'M OFFICIALLY CAUGHT
IN A KNOT.
I WANTED TO PROVE THAT I COULD
MAKE THIS SCARF ON MY OWN.
HOW HARD COULD IT BE!
RIGHT?
BUT THE TRUTH IS, EVERYONE
NEEDS HELP SOMETIMES.
EVEN THE BEST KNITTERS AND
CROCHETERS IN HISTORY
NEED HELP SOMETIMES, I BET!
AND I'M NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT
HELP WITH CRAFTS.
SOMETIMES, WE NEED HELP WITH
OUR FEELINGS.
IF I'M FEELING SAD OR UPSET,
TALKING TO MY PARENTS,
FRIENDS, COUSINS, OR EVEN
PATTY MAKES ME FEEL BETTER.
ASKING FOR HELP TAKES COURAGE
BUT SHARING HOW YOU FEEL
IS ALWAYS WORTH IT.
RIGHT, GIRL?

His dog Patty sits on the sofa with him.

(Horror music plays)

Akin says I'M FEELING LIKE
I CAN'T DO THIS ALONE.
MOM? ANYONE? HELP!

Music plays as the end credits roll.
