Picture	Segment	Description
	COLD OPEN	Telly and Luis are about to leave for the hospital, when Telly remembers that the Grand High Triangle Lover is going on a trip and will be passing Sesame Street on his way to the airport. This is an opportunity that a triangle lover such as Telly would not want to miss, though Maria is certain that the GHTL would want Telly to go on his check-up. After checking if the GHTL has passed yet, Telly and Luis catch the bus just in time.
	SCENE 1	In the hospital waiting room, Telly continues worrying about missing the GHTL's visit. He then notices a girl sitting next to him with a hurt wrist. They exchange their injury stories and Telly reassures her that she has nothing to worry about, and narrates a flashback sequence of what happened when he saw the doctor yesterday. He then frets about not knowing what will happen on the second visit when the nurse calls him in...
	SCENE 1 cont'd	When Telly sees Dr. Sing, he hopes the appointment will be done soon because he doesn't want to miss seeing the GHTL. Dr. Sing understands - as it turns out, he was a Triangle Lover himself when he was a kid! He points to his membership certificate on the wall, and promises to finish with Telly as soon as possible. He makes sure that the cast fits properly, and that Telly can wiggle his fingers. The visit is almost done when Telly describes that he has difficulty sleeping with the cast; Dr. Sing suggests putting a pillow under it.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Dr. Sing says goodbye to Telly as he leaves when all of a sudden, they hear the fanfare music of none other than the Grand High Triangle Lover! They look outside in awe, and witness as His Triangleness enters with Norman loudly dinging away.
