Picture	Segment	Description
	COLD OPEN	In the yard, Big Bird hosts a talk show: "Big Bird's Now It Can Be Told Show." Today's guest is Telly, who did something yesterday which he's ashamed of. Rosita comforts him, and Big Bird tells the audience to stay tuned - they'll be right back after the song.
	SCENE 1	Telly is now ready to tell the audience what he did yesterday, but needs Rosita's help. Yesterday, Telly and Rosita were playing catch but Telly threw the ball too high and accidentally hit Linda on the head.

Luckily, Linda recognized based on how he looked that Telly felt bad, so she gave him a hug.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	After the story has been told, Telly feels proud of himself and shows how good he is at aiming the ball by now. When he throws it, he accidentally breaks Maria and Luis' window, which becomes the subject for Big Bird's next episode.
