COLD OPEN | What's the Word on the Street?: Astounding |
  |
SCENE | Cookie Monster strolls down the street, when he bumps into Elmo and Abby, who are about to show the number of the day - 6. Cookie is amazed by the way Abby conjures up the number from thin air, as well as the 6 ping pong balls for them to count. Cookie walks off to process what he's seen. He's fascinated by the idea of having a wand that can make anything appear and wonders..."If Me Had That Magic Wand," then he could make any amount of cookies he'd like appear! Cookie Monster rushes off to get the wand. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | Back over near Hooper's, Cookie Monster pretends to be a wand repair man and tries taking Abby's wand into the shop for "fixing." Abby thinks her wand works fine and demonstrates for her and Elmo's next lecture on same and different. Abby magically makes all the balls different colors. Cookie Monster, amazed once again, leaves and musically ponders some more. If he had that wand, he could make cookies of any flavor! He runs off to get another disguise. |
  |
SCENE cont'd | Cookie Monster returns yet again, claiming to be a wand salesman, proposing Abby exchange her old, used wand for his "new," makeshift one. Abby and Elmo think her wand is fine and show it through their next lecture on big and little. Abby waves her wand and makes the balls bigger than before. Cookie Monster scatters again and imagines another song: if he had that wand, he could make the biggest cookie ever seen. He must have the wand now! |
  |
SCENE cont'd | Abby and Elmo go off to play Hide and Seek and Abby leaves her wand behind. Cookie returns in another silly disguise, when he spots the wand out in the open. As he's about to take it, Alan stops him and have him think of what'll happen if he takes the wand. They envision Abby becoming sad her wand's gone, then angry when she discovers he took it, ending their friendship. Cookie realizes Abby's friendship means more to him than all the cookies in the world and leaves the wand. Abby and Elmo return, glad to see him, since they need him for their next demonstration. Abby turns all the balls into cookies so they can watch him eat them. "Anything for friend!," he exclaims and begins eating them all. |

Muppets / Animation | Abby's Flying Fairy School The class plays with Niblet, the class pet. It’s Gonnigan’s turn to hold him, but he’s too afraid to and disappears. Blögg then tries to and Niblet steals his wand. After a chase, he runs into a crayon drawing in the wall. However, they are unable to get inside. Spot shows them videos of doors, which gives them the idea to use a door. After twinkle-thinking, Abby realizes the drawing is Gonnigan’s and he can draw a door on it. Once inside, they try and follow him, but he draws a river between them. Abby draws a pumpkin to get them across, but Gonnigan adds a sail. Once on the river, Niblet re-draws it as the top of a mountain. Gonnigan adds wheels to get down to him, but Niblet draws a second hill, causing them to slide back and forth between them. Niblet escapes the drawing and heads into his Gerblecorn hole. They try opening it with a spell (rhyming “door” with “Zsa Zsa Gabor”), but find out magic can’t open it. They sob at the idea of never seeing Niblet again, which brings him out of his hole. He gives Blögg his wand back and has Gonnigan hold him. Mrs. Sparklenose rewards them (and the viewer) with a gold star. (re-orchestrated theme song) (First: Episode 4187) |
