SCENE 1 | Zoe looks for someone to play hide-and-seek with her, but everybody has other plans; Lulu has a playdate with Cookie Monster, and Big Bird is meeting with a tennis pro. Zoe recalls the last time she had nobody to play with, and she made a wish to bring her jacket to life. She calls upon the Jacket Fairy to do so, and he brings her jacket to life again and reminds her that only she and the viewer will be able to experience her sentience. He poofs off to another job and Jacket and Zoe reunite with a hug. |
