COLD OPEN | What's the Word on the Street?: Nature |
 |
SCENE | Alan, Leela, Elmo and Rosita are enjoying a picnic outside, when leaves are blown around, the sound of a helicopter blares and rope dangles from the sky. Coming down from the rope comes Wild Nature Survivor Guy (played by Jimmy Fallon)! He is here to try to survive in the wilds of nature, despite the fact that he’s not alone and in the city, as Alan and Leela continuously point out. WNSG explains that to survive, he’ll need food, water, warmth and shelter and heads off on his search. |
 |
SCENE contd | WNSG catches a whiff of food and pounces on a nearby tomato plant. Leela yells at him, since they were her plants and points out he didn’t get the food from nature. He counters by saying that plants come from nature, thus his food is from nature. He also claims that when surviving off nature, he needs to act fast, but Alan points out he has fruit at Hooper’s. WNSG also counters, claiming those came from nature too. Leela takes her plants home. |
 |
SCENE contd | WNSG now needs water to survive as well. He sticks his tongue out, hoping to catch some raindrops, but Alan points out it’s not raining. Rosita claims it rained earlier, which means there are wet plants with water dripping from them. As WNSG collects the meager drops in his canteen, Alan tries giving him some water from the faucet, which also comes from nature. |
  |
SCENE contd | WNSG now sees that nightfall is fast approaching, which means night chills and he searches to find something to keep him warm. He comes across some feathers on the ground, which he stuffs his shirt with. The monsters wonder how they will keep him warm when he explains that they keep birds warm and they are even found in Alan’s vest. He follows the trail to a duck (Matt Vogel), who he attacks for warmth. The duck storms off as WNSG notes the sunset and must now seek shelter for the night. He finds some branches, which will help with his shelter. |
  |
SCENE contd | He then discovers Big Bird’s nest, thinking it’s abandoned and decides to use it as his shelter. He uses the branches as coverings. Alan tries to tell him he can’t stay there, but WNSG once again points out that nature provides wood for regular houses. Big Bird enters his nest area, and is surprised to find visitors. WNSG is shocked at the sight of the large bird and claims Big Bird is a marvel of nature, then says everyone and everything is a part of nature. He hears a cricket chirping, which leads him to believe nature want them to sing along. He and the gang sing about the importance of nature as he settles in for the night. |

Muppets / Animation | Abby's Flying Fairy School Today, the class is putting on their Dance Recital. Abby, Blögg, Peck and Niblet are all ready to dance, but Gonnigan claims he can’t dance and won’t do it in front of a crowd. Mrs. Sparklenose poofs him up special “Sugar Plum Fairy Dance Shoes”, which will help him dance. As Gonnigan takes off his shoes the magic shoes begin dancing away. Blögg spots them under Niblet’s table. Gonnigan looks under and knocks the cage over, sending Niblet flying into Gonnigan’s sweater and making him shake around. Abby tries to magically make Gonnigan dance, but she misses each time and makes something in the room dance. Gonnigan then follows the shoes around a block tower, but slips on a piece of lunch. Abby calls on Spot, who shoes them videos of feet. Abby interprets the film, claiming Gonnigan only needs his feet to dance. He ignores her and finds the shoes on top of the bookshelf. He knocks it over and gets clay on his head, so he shakes it off. Mrs. Sparklenose reminds him of all the physical things he’s done (wiggling, sliding and shaking) and he makes a dance out of it, which all the other students perform in the recital. |
