With help from Mikey, Bunsen will learn how to accomplish human world tasks, like, doing homework, eating ice cream, and riding the bus. In turn, Mikey will learn to navigate the Beast World and meet all the weird and wonderful beasts that reside there.

In the series premiere, "Bearly Acceptable Behavior," Amanda tries to get Bunsen kicked out of school when he brings a dangerous bear to class. Next during, "Beast Busters," Bunsen and Mikey have to save Amanda from mischievous Sneeze Beasts that escape from Bunsen's nose.
