  | | In Hooper's Store, Forgetful Jones struggles to remember how to welcome the viewer, but he succeeds: he remembers the viewer, to say "Howdy," the street name and his own name! Linda comes by to congratulate him in sign language. Next he manages to remember the next sketch on the show. |
 | | Ernie and Bert: Ernie decides to set up an apple-selling stand, and has everything he needs, leaving out the apples. |
 | | Forgetful is excited about remembering the Ernie and Bert sketch (except that he was wrong about there being a boat in it). "That's why they call me Remembering Jones," he says.
