Synopsis[]
Fozzie gets a letter from his mother, informing him that she'll be visiting the theater, and plans on reuniting him with a former childhood acquaintance. This makes Fozzie nervous, because he had told her that he's a detective's assistant (to the legendary Wormwood Soames, in fact), and also worries that his mom will want to set her up with his old friend, so Skeeter agrees to pretend to be Fozzie's girlfriend. However, upon meeting Fozzie's mother, Skeeter claims to be Wormwood Soams as well.
Meanwhile, the two celestial beings notice game pieces that neither of them had put into their game, realising that their game has taken a life of its own. They decide to sit back, watch how it plays out, and talk about it to their grandchildren.
Back at the theater, Fozzie learns that his childhood friend Dora will be coming to watch the show. Fozzie and Skeeter check behind a curtain and think that a big bear sitting behind Fozzie's mom is her (Fozzie hadn't seen Dora in years). Fozzie drags Skeeter on-stage for a musical performance, thinking their boyfriend-girlfriend act would be more convincing if they did something on-stage together. Dora arrives during the performance, and they see that Dora is quite attractive.
After the performance, Fozzie admits that he is not really Wormwood Soames' assistant and that Skeeter isn't really his girlfriend. Fozzie's mom then convinces him that she was proud of him for accomplishing his dream of becoming a comedian despite not being rich and famous. Afterwards, Skeeter becomes inspired to go back to college, and upon leaving the theater, she gets a new mission from the real Wormwood Soames.
Sometime later Scooter gets a letter from Skeeter, in which she admits that she is actually Wormwood Soames' assistant while also attending college. However, they think she is just trying to impress them. Skeeter tells Wormwood about her visit, but states that Scooter wouldn't believe what she left out, as a variety of chaotic events ensue in the area. In the background, the celestial Waldorf throws the chess game off a cloud.
