Big Bird shows him that he's different: Snuffy has four big stumpy feet and Big Bird has two skinny feet; he has a great big long skinny, twirly nose and Big Bird has a beak; he lives in a cave and Big Bird lives in a nest. All of this goes over Snuffy's head, but he becomes happy when he realizes that he's going home and Big Bird isn't yet - that's something different! Once Snuffy leaves, Luis visits and doesn’t believe Big Bird’s claim that Snuffy is real.

Cookie Monster is standing in front of the poster, and the others suspect that he's the Great Cookie Thief -- he has the same googly eyes, the same blue fur, and the same Western hat. They confront Cookie Monster, but he denies the charge: "Not have same mustache!" He shouts, "Look over there!" -- and while they're distracted, he draws a mustache on the poster. They apologize -- but then Cookie Monster takes off his hat, and cookies fall out. The Great Cookie Thief makes his escape.
