4517a

4517b
SCENE Chris welcomes the viewer as he carries a stack of boxes to Hooper's Store. He bumps into Elmo and invites him to the park after work, but Elmo grumpily declines. He apologizes and claims he doesn't feel like himself today; he's feeling a bit cranky and grouchy. Oscar pops up from his trash can with a theory: Elmo's turning into a Grouch! Chris tells Elmo that's not possible and heads over to work.
4517c

4517d
SCENE cont'd Oscar proposes there's only one way to know for sure if Elmo's a Grouch: performing "The Grouch Test." The first part is a round of "Oscar Says," where Elmo must do the opposite of what Oscar tells him (since Grouches love doing the opposite of what they're told). Elmo succeeds at the game, so Oscar officially dubs him a Grouch. He teaches Elmo the Grouch Cheer - blowing a raspberry.
4517e
SCENE cont'd Elmo does the Grouch Cheer over and over, attracting Chris' attention. Chris reminds Elmo he's not a Grouch, but Elmo still feels a bit grumpy. Chris tells him to repeat a phrase - "I am not a Grouch" - before heading back to work.

4517g
SCENE cont'd Oscar appears again, telling Elmo the only way to know for sure if he's a Grouch is through part two of the Grouch Test. In the second part (titled "Grouch Eye View"), Elmo looks at parts of Grouchy animals close-up and correctly identifies which animals they are. Now that he's officially a Grouch, Elmo earns his very own trash can to live in! Oscar goes to make some anchovy sundaes, commenting, "It's great to have another Grouch in the neighborhood."
4517h

4517i
SCENE cont'd Chris is done with work and looks for Elmo, who pops up from his trash can. Chris takes him out of from the can and tells him he's not a Grouch; people just have days where they don't feel happy. He explains, through song, that "Feelings Come and Feelings Go." Elmo feels less Grouchy now and wants to go to the park. Oscar is disappointed his trick didn't work and gets even angrier when Elmo gives him a goodbye kiss.

Muppets / Animation Abby's Flying Fairy School
Mrs. Sparklenose is teaching the students opposites today, though Blögg doesn't grasp the concept as easy. After Gonnigan and Abby demonstrate, he tries to use their opposite spell on Gonnigan, but uses it on himself instead. Suddenly, Blögg becomes the opposite of himself, wearing posh clothing and being obsessed with cleanliness (constantly giving Niblet a bath). Gonnigan likes having a less-disgusting friend around now, but Opposite-Blögg ruins their playtime by putting away their blocks and refusing to wear the wrinkled costumes. Abby and Gonnigan learn that to change him back, Blögg has to do the spell on himself. Abby tempts him with his favorite stinky cheese, but he instead is frightened by it. Everyone muses about the old Blögg, making him realize the right thing to do is to change himself back.
