Bob assumes there's some trick involved, but goes along anyway. Oscar recommends Bob remove his various pieces of winter gear to allow a better hit. Bob successfully hits the can to the top but is freezing without his extra clothes, then notices Oscar has started wearing all his gear; the Grouch Heater (emphasis on "Grouch") has made him warm after all!

Luis reads him the remainder of the story: Captain Swashbuckle is sailing in a storm, when Luis' phone rings, and he must put the story on hold. Big Bird then thinks up the obvious ending - the bad guys call Swashbuckle and call off the fight because of rain.

SCENE 5 At nighttime, some kids play in the yard as it begins to snow. While Bob, Gordon, and Maria enjoy the snow, Oscar tries to ruin it for them by mentioning the negative facts about snow like icy snowballs and cars getting stuck. The others counter with some positive facts, and Oscar retreats at the mention of making snow angels. Elmo announces the sponsors, and the credits roll over footage of Maria joining the kids playing in the snow, and Gordon, Bob, and even Oscar enjoying it.
