SCENE 1 Gina drops off the broken Hooper's Store toaster with Luis, who assures her he can have it fixed within a few minutes. As he tends to a phone call inside the Fix-It Shop (taking the toaster with him), Maria strolls by with Gabi and shows the viewer a very beat-up toaster she found, looking very similar to the one Gina brought over. She places it on the workbench to salvage some of the parts and continues her walk. Elmo has been sent by Gina to retrieve the toaster and finds the beat-up one; he doesn't think it looks fixed, but takes it anyway. Luis comes back out and starts working on Gina's toaster. Maria comes by again and is impressed with Luis' skills, believing he's just fixed the beat-up one she had.

SCENE 1 cont'd Gina is appalled at the toaster Elmo has brought back; Elmo hopes this won't lead to an argument. After Maria tells them about Luis' great work, Luis enters with Gina's toaster, fully repaired. When Gina pulls out Maria's beat-up one, Luis comments that nobody is good enough to fix something like that. Gina and Elmo shower Luis with praise, which he bewilderedly accepts.

SCENE 2 Elmo orders 100 marbles from Gina. She doesn't have time to count each individual one and asks if the Count could instead. He uncharacteristically declines and says he's saving his counting energy to count Big Bird's feathers later. Gina begins doing it herself but loses track whenever the Count tries to bring her attention to something, which turns out to be a simple solution - read the jar's label (which says "100 Marbles"). Gina simply hands the jar to Elmo, who now orders 200 jellybeans.
