SCENE 1 Gordon finds Big Bird waiting at the bus stop on the corner, humming "South of the Border" and holding a suitcase with a sign: "Southward or Bust." Big Bird wants to migrate since lots of other birds do it, but Gordon tells him the reasons why some birds migrate, and how those reasons don’t apply to him since he’s got more advantages than the other birds. Big Bird opts to go skating with Mr. Snuffleupagus instead and leaves his suitcase behind, which Gordon accidentally opens. He rummages through the contents, and David passes by to make a delivery, telling Gordon that he hopes he has a nice trip.

Gordon reassures him that none of it was real, and he just had a nightmare. Susan gets him something to drink before Big Bird heads back out, but Big Bird is still shaken and doesn't want to leave. They let him stay for the night, preparing a makeshift nest in the middle of the living room. They stay with him until he falls asleep, but Big Bird has nestled with Gordon and doesn't want to let go, so Gordon agrees to stay put.
