Today is the day of the annual Grouch Parade, where grouches "listen to awful music and throw smelly socks". Oscar has his assistants bring several items for verification (including Slouchy the Clown), as Gina and Tarah arrive. Tarah has never seen the Grouch Parade and is very interested. | |

The parade still can't begin, as they're missing the main element - the big, Grouch float. A delivery man arrives with a float decorated with hearts, flowers and balloons, none of which is Grouchy.
