As he stands and waits next to it, Elmo zips through, pretending to drive a racecar. When Snuffy still hasn't arrived, Big Bird believes waiting on the other sides of the tree will bring Snuffy over. Oscar tells him to get lost, but Big Bird insists on waiting by the tree as per his plan. Oscar points out that there's another tree he could wait by, successfully convincing Big Bird to move. | |

Big Bird borrows Gabi's cell and calls Snuffy's cave, but reaches the answering machine and leaves a message about his current location. They invite him to Hooper's for a snack, but Big Bird can't leave his post. He requests that they bring him a birdseed milkshake as he waits. | |
