COLD OPEN | At home day care, Angela informs the viewer about today's sponsors and says they'll also be seeing home movies of Lexine's trip to the Philippines, using a map to illustrate where it is. Lexine has brought a lot of videos to show everybody and Telly asks when they can see them; Angela says it'll be after the theme song... |
  |
SCENE 1 | Before they start watching the videos, Lexine explains to Zoe and Big Bird the different family members that went with her on the trip, as well as the ones she visited. Shortly after, Celina arrives to watch along, having not seen the Philippines in a long time (like Lexine, she also has family there). Angela puts in the first tape, showing footage of Lexine's view from the airplane and arrival in the Philippines. Just as they reach baggage claim at the airport, the tape ends. |
