Top is the third episode of the first series of Alphablocks.
T hopes to find a place to have tea with O, somewhere with a view. P pops in to help.
t-o-p, TOP!
Suddenly, a "steep" mountain (with that being closely resembled to a tall spike, albeit rounded) appears and O falls off. P pops back, leaving T behind. O lands near the other vowels and tells them what happened.
A-E-I-O-U! Vowels know what to do! U-E-A-I-O! Rescue T, off we go!
As they come to the mountain, B and G were there to help, explaining that how would they get T down for the mission to be complete.

B_G
BUG - A bug appears (with that resembling of a cross between a fly and a ladybug). G tells the bug to save T, but it's no good.
BOG* - B, O and G get stuck in a bog.
BAG - A bag appears and out falls a bass guitar, a red apple, and a bottle of water.
BEG* - B, E and G beg for T to come down, but it doesn't help.
BIG (star word) - B, I and G grow in size at a very fast rate, causing them to be 10 to 15 times as large. G tells T to get on top. B carries T.

When TOP is sounded out, T says "ta".
As an irony, the true mission of the vowels is to try and get T back down. However, in the end, T never got back down; instead he gets onto B, with the mission being longer and possibly more difficult.
C, D, F, H, J, K, L, M, N, Q, R, S, V, W, X, Y and Z are absent in this episode.
The bass guitar, apple and water bottle reference the associated letters: B, A, and G.
This episode marks:
The first time since the first episode, where all vowels are present (A , E , I , O , U).
The first Alphablocks episode without digraphs. It is also the first episode to not include a built-in song.
The first Alphablocks episode to be interactable.
The first episode to include the first lines of the series: "/t/, /t/, /t/! I was hoping to find a place for a nice cup of tea.". This is because the previous episode had a song as its first lines.
