Lone Eagle

Sam Eagle visits the Playroom, and the Muppet Babies try to show him a good time.

When he repeatedly seems uninterested to play with the others, instead reading a book all by himself, the gang raises their imagination to new heights.

The Fellowship of the Rainbow Yo-Yo

When the Muppet Babies fear that a rainbow yo-yo from Miss Nanny threatens to destroy their friendship, they go on a quest to throw it into a volcano.

Notes

• "Lone Eagle" introduces a younger version of Sam the Eagle to the Muppet Babies franchise. Likenesses of the character both as an eaglet, as well as an adult, had previously appeared on items and in background pictures in the Nursery, and in the characters' imagination outings.

• "The Fellowship of the Rainbow Yo-Yo" is a parody, very loosely based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.

• This is the fourth episode combo in the series, following "Chicken Round-Up / Summer's Snow Cone Stop," "Rise of the Pickler / Friend-a-versary," and "Gonzo's Bubble Trouble / Fozzie Can't Bear It," to not feature a song in either of its segments.
