Walking home, he sees more costumes (cowboys, ghosts monsters, witches, and ballerinas), but he still can't decide what to go as, since they all look like fun. Looking at himself in the mirror, he comes up with his costume. Fozzie takes an old picture frame and some aluminum foil, and makes a mirror, with holes cut out for his eyes. When asked what he is, he proclaims himself to be the world's newest superhero, Mirror Man. He says its the perfect costume for someone who can't decide what they want to be, because he can be anything that reflects in the mirror. |

Angry, Wendell sets out that night to live up to his reputation. He tries to be bad, but finds that he fails miserably at it. For every bad deed he attempts, he does a good one in its place: mending the slippers, cleaning up the nuts, or finding a pot of honey for the bears. That morning he hears the wood folk coming towards him, and he can't escape. He proclaims his innonce when they accuse him of being guilty. But he soon finds out that they find him guilty of good deeds, not bad. Bertha Bear apologizes for judging the raccoon because of his mask, and vows never to do so again. |

After a week of such behavior, knocking over Baby Kermit's trains or Baby Scooter's computer, the babies decide that something must be done. Gonzo suggest they send him to live off the coast of Madagascar, but the others aren't so keen on the idea. Baby Rowlf gets an idea to set up an "Animal University," where everyone in the Nursery can help Animal practice being careful. After much practice, Animal was ready to graduate, but he tipped over a step and crashed into Kermit, bringing the stage down with him. Despite another accident, Kermit doesn't mind as Animal tried his hardest, so he still presents him with a diploma, and highest honors from Animal University. |
