SCENE Elmo welcomes the viewer and explains he's having his first movie playdate. Leela helps him practice sitting down for the theater. Chris arrives to take him over, when Elmo's friend arrives - Jack B. Nimble! He demonstrates his nursery rhyme, though Elmo was unaware of his fame. As they head off, Leela warns Chris that Jack surely won't be able to sit still during the film.

SCENE cont'd At the screening of 11 1/2 Jump Street, Jack jumps into their seats in the front row. An usher (Jack McBrayer) approaches them, informing them of the theater's policy against jumping. He then leads a musical number with all the guests about the need to "Sit Down" until the movie's over.

SCENE cont'd The movie begins and the jumping characters make Jack want to jump. So, he leaps across the row into a woman's popcorn. The usher reminds Jack of the policy and gives him the strategy Elmo practiced earlier. Jack doesn't think it'll work, so Chris gives him a new one - imagine a giant STOP sign whenever he feels like jumping. He tries to contain himself, but Jack jumps back into the woman's popcorn (he imagined jumping over the STOP sign instead). The usher has no choice but to expel him from the theater, when Jack comes up with a strategy of his own - he'll write a new version of his nursery rhyme to keep him sitting down. The plan works and Jack sits through the whole movie. The usher is so pleased, he jumps for joy...into the woman's lap. Jack reminds him there's no jumping at the movies.

Muppets Super Grover 2.0
At a high school gym, some cheerleading chickens (and Horatio the Elephant) attempt their balancing move, but topple over when the chickens land onto Horatio's arm. Super Grover 2.0 arrives on the scene and diagnoses Horatio with a floppy arm and places all the chickens on his "stronger" arm. This doesn't work, so Grover divides the chickens into twos and places a pair on both arms, causing Horatio to tip over once more. Grover searches his utility sock and finds what turns out to be a scale. The largest chicken finds he weighs the same as the three others, so they now know how they can perfectly balance themselves.

Muppets / Animation Abby's Flying Fairy School
The students head to the playground for recess. At the slide, they meet a Playground Troll, who plans to take over the playground unless they solve her riddles. First, they must identify four S-words around them. When they run out of playground attractions, Gonnigan uses his sock as one, earning them their slide back. The troll then takes over the swings until they make a castle. With some sand and water, they make one in the sandbox. She then claims the jungle gym until they can find an octagon on the playground. When they can't find on on the ground, they fly up above and find the jungle gum is an octagon. The troll relinquishes the playground and Blögg, feeling stimulated, goes off to solve more problems, starting with the pail stuck on his head.
