Plot[]
Elmo has to get used to his father, Louie, being back at home. Then when Louie finds out that he has to leave again, Elmo finds it hard to cope with this because he missed him so much when he was away. However, Elmo's Mom tells him that they can get through it since they have experienced it before.
Notes[]
- Tyler Bunch performs Louie for two scenes of the special - when he reads Elmo a bedtime story and during the end credits.
