COLD OPEN | Humphrey and Ingrid introduce the sponsors for today while using their video camera to capture some footage of Natasha, who suddenly disappears. | |
SCENE 1 | The monsters get more footage at Finders Keepers as Natasha browses through the store.

Natasha then grabs a stethoscope, which Ruthie interprets as her wanting to be a doctor, but Humphrey and Ingrid correct her: she actually just likes shiny objects. | |
