The first episode, “Bridespup Chip/Chip and Nico’s Fun Day,” starts with Chip, her brother, and her mother going to the store. They meet up with their grandma, who is picking out a wedding dress for her wedding. Chip’s Gram asks Chip, Chip’s brother, and Chip’s cousin to be her “bridespups.” She asks them to choose a color for the wedding. They test out loads of colors but can’t agree on one. After some brainstorming, Chip suggested using rainbow fabric to make the outfits; that way, everyone could choose the color they like.
The next segment follows Chip and her friend Nico to school. They have a “fun day” at school and bounce on trampolines. The teachers set ground rules, such as no jumping without adults watching. Chip sees a classmate do a trick and attempts it, too. She can’t master it before they must leave the trampolines, but Chip and Nico sneak back. Chip jumps without adult supervision, causing Chip and Nico to get into trouble.
The second episode, “Chip is Sorry/Grandma and Gordie’s Taqueria,” starts with Chip apologizing to Nico for getting them into trouble. She becomes upset when she can’t reach Nico. Her brother comes to the rescue and makes things right.
After that, Chip’s Gram establishes a taco truck but has yet to open the restaurant. Chip tries to help by developing a model of the restaurant’s layout. Together with some neighborhood friends, they set up the restaurant, helping her Gram to open the shop.
In the third episode, “Flingo’s Show/Boo-Bom’s School Visit,” Chip attends the Flingo’s synchronized swimming show. She’s supposed to take photos of the Flingos but needs a better seat to capture decent pictures.
After that, Nico’s dad gives Nico a toy panda before leaving for work. Nico takes it to school, and other classmates notice. One classmate, Howie, throws Nico’s toy into a net when changing into gym clothes. Potato retrieves it, and Chip and Nico bring Potato and Nico’s toy outside with them. Their teacher, who asked them to keep the toys inside, discovers why they took them outside and teaches them the importance of politely asking and sharing with others.
