SCENE 1 | Mr. Snuffleupagus is sad because his playdate with Big Bird was cancelled (due to Big Bird forgetting a fishing trip he had planned, seen in the first insert break). Nearby, Stinky the Stinkweed is in a similar situation, where Gabi was unable to water him and play with him as expected. Snuffy overhears Stinky's woes and theorizes that they should play together. Stinky thinks they're too different to be effective playmates, but Snuffy is positive this can work out. | |

SCENE 2 | Snuffy and Stinky think of something they can do together. Snuffy and Big Bird usually greet each other, so they try that, which Stinky finds "unusually satisfying." Stinky says that Gabi usually waters him when they're together, but Snuffy is unable to pick up the watering can. Stinky thinks his suspicions have been confirmed, until Snuffy slurps the water from the can and sprays it on Stinky, who now feels refreshed. Stinky doesn't think they can find anything else to do, though. | |
