- Bob holds two thin slats of wood and explains that he can make letters out of these two straight lines. He makes a T and an X out of the slats.
- Bob, Maria and Luis guess why Oscar hung an "OPEN" sign on his trash can. They think that it may mean that he's open for the trash business or that he may be open for visitors.
- Luis explains Oscar's "CLOSED" sign to two children in Spanish.
- Alice Braithwaite Goodyshoes: Alice uses a brick wall to demonstrate around (by going around the wall), under (by pretending to climb under it), and over (by jumping over it, and crashing when she lands).
- Mr. Snuffleupagus has a cold in his trunk, and explains that he can neither snuffle things up through it or blow water out of it as he usually does. Big Bird suggests that he use a vacuum cleaner to suck things up with and a garden hose to spray water with.
- Maria shows photos of a school, a movie house, a filling station, and a fire house and asks some kids if they can identify what they are.
- Snuffleupagus asks Big Bird how many is three.
- Luis explains that he is going to buy batteries for his flashlight in case there's another blackout on Sesame Street.
