SCENE 1 | Big Bird can't find his mittens and resolves to buy a new set. Luis asks him why he's on his way to Hooper's Store, but Big Bird can't recall what he meant to buy: "I've got a perfect memory except I never can remember anything!" He bumps into Susan who shows him the mittens he left at her house and remembers that's what he needs to buy at Hooper's. Susan is left holding the mittens, confused. |

Muppets | Ernie & Bert — Ernie has a licorice whip that he offers to share with Bert. He divides it in half with a pair of scissors, but then discovers that Bert's half is longer than his. He cuts off a little bit of Bert's half, and eats it. Then he discovers that his own half is longer than Bert's, and that's not fair, so he cuts a bit off of his own, and eats it. Ernie goes back and forth, cutting off more and more, until the licorice whip is gone. |
 |
SCENE 3 | Sam brings the toaster a bouquet of flowers and is pleased to see Luis has fixed "her" back to working order. He becomes heartbroken, however, when Gordon comes to pick it up and take it back home. Luis then begins working on Mr. Hooper's blender, which Sam is instantly attracted to as well. |

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.
