| [[Elmo]] greets the viewer from [[Grouchland USA|Grouchland]], where he's gone to visit his friend [[Grizzy]]. Elmo recounts his first trip to Grouchland, and how Grizzy helped him get [[Blanket|his blanket]] back. Grizzy tries to hush Elmo from using words like "friend," fearing that other [[Grouches]] might be listening. She also balks at Elmo's claim that she's not as grouchy as she thinks she is, reminding him of the grouchy welcome he received when he first arrived.
−
| [[Elmo]] tries to get [[Grizzy]] to sing-along, but she refuses because she considers singing to be cooperating, which grouches aren't supposed to do. Despite their differences, Grizzy eventually sings with Elmo on the reprise of "[[Elmo's Song]]", which becomes "Grizzy's Song," and then "Pesties' Song" when the [[Pesties]] join in.
