The Muppet Babies are enjoying their last day in the playroom before summer break. Baby Bunsen and Baby Beaker are discussing their new summer recycling program, Baby Gonzo is telling Baby Fozzie about the new stunts he has planned for the 4th of July, Baby Piggy is working on new costumes for a beach party, and Baby Animal is going to take swim lessons.
When Miss Nanny announces that summer can be a big change from the rest of the year, Baby Kermit becomes concerned. Miss Nanny explains that new things can be a cause for celebration, so she's invited all of their friends over. In her absence, the babies decide they should do something special for their friends by putting on a show where everyone can show off what they do best. Fozzie can tell jokes, Summer Penguin can do magic tricks, Gonzo can do stunts, Baby Rowlf suggests he and Piggy sing together, and Animal will form a trio with Beaker and Chef. Baby Scooter says he'll run the show with his clipboard.
Transported to The Muppet Theatre, their friends arrive and begin taking their seats (including Sweetums, Sam, Skeeter, Rozzie, Jill, Baby Robin, Rizzo, Uncle Norman, and Statler and Waldorf). To kick things off, the entire cast (see #Arches) perform a rendition of "The Muppet Show Theme" sung as "The Muppet Babies Show."
Segments[]
Part 1[]
| Picture | Description |
|---|---|
 |
The cast preforms a rendition of "The Muppet Show Theme": Camilla comes out of Gonzo's horn. |
 |
Kermit introduces the show's first act: Gonzo performing a stunt. Except... |
  |
...Gonzo replaces his original act with a chicken fashion show. |
 |
Backstage, Kermit stresses over Gonzo changing his act. Scooter tries to console him by showing the audience's positive response to the fashion show. It works until Piggy and Rowlf decide to switch up their performance as well. |
 |
Veterinarian's Hospital: Dr. Bob and Nurse Piggy operate on Fozzie's rubber chicken. |
 |
Backstage, Kermit still feels stressed over everyone's act changing, and believes if his friends stop doing what they do best, they might drift apart. Scooter assures Kermit that nothing will change about his friends, but there's one thing Scooter forgot to mention: Animal, Beaker, and Chef are switching up their act too. |
 |
Animal, Beaker, and Chef perform a heavy metal cover of "The Wheels on the Bus", much to Kermit's shock. |
 |
Fozzie's up next, and he's doing a ballet routine. Kermit tries to sabotage the act by throwing comedy props onto the stage while Fozzie is performing. |
  |
Backstage, Kermit reveals he's the one who was throwing the props onstage during Fozzie's dance. Kermit apologizes for ruining the performance, but Fozzie shows the audience's positive reaction. When Fozzie reminds Kermit that today's the last day in the playroom, Kermit becomes even more stressed. |
Part 2[]

|---|---|
 |
Scooter comes in to remind Kermit to introduce Summer's act. Kermit, now with a plan to pad out the show for as long as possible, does so without hesitation. |
  |
Muppet Babies in Space: The crew of Starship Piggy are on their way to Planet Playroom, when they are ambushed by an alien (played by Gonzo). Except, Kermit gives Gonzo a sandwich to prolong the act (according to Gonzo, "No space sketch can end without an alien."). |
 |
With Scooter around, the show runs on time, so Kermit decides to send him on a phony quest to wrangle up as many chickens as possible. |
  |
Chef tries to cook up a traditional Swedish soup, but when Kermit keeps on giving him ingredients, he ends up making a Meatball Monster. |
 |
Muppet Labs: Bunsen and Beaker present their latest creation, a remote control that switches the location of two objects. When Kermit insists the presentation go on longer, the remote ends up switching the minds of the two scientists with Summer. |
 |
Upon learning that the next act of the show will be the last, Kermit desperately tries to pad out the show by getting Sweetums, Sam, and Rizzo to dance onstage. |
 |
Backstage, the rest of the babies catch on to Kermit's suspicious behavior and press him on it. Kermit tries to explain that Scooter added more acts to the show, but when Scooter actually shows up, Kermit accidentally lets the fact he added the act slip. |
  |
Seeing his friends practice for the finale makes Kermit freak out and come clean. He's been prolonging the show because as the last day before summer, Kermit won't be able to see his friends everyday like before. Kermit's friends reassure him by telling him how "...when you're best friends, summer vacation doesn't mean 'goodbye', it just means 'see you later.'" This finally gets Kermit to calm down and prepare for the final number. |
  |
The babies come together to perform the final number, "Goodbye (Just Means See You Later)." |
 |
After the song, the babies pack up and leave for summer vacation. Kermit stays behind to give the viewers a farewell message: "See ya later, friends. And thanks for all the laughs!" |
