They put the clues together and conclude that Oscar is moving away, which is exactly what Oscar is planning to do.

SCENE 3 At the farewell party, a banner is put up which reads "Goodbye, old friend." Susan presents a cake with sardine frosting, and the letter O formed in pickles. They also give him a dirty rag, a jar of mud and a worn-out broom as going-away presents. Once Oscar arrives, he breaks the news to everyone that he's decided to stay on Sesame Street, because in a cardboard box on Gunk Alley, there's nothing to complain about — and grouches love complaining.
