 	SCENE 1 	Telly is about to start playing when Gordon stops by, saying he's going to the Fix-It Shop so Maria can repair his broken telephone. Afterward, Kaitlin arrives to give Telly his first clue in the form of a poem with the last word missing: “It’s too big for a pot or pan. / For your next clue, go to Oscar's...”
 	SCENE 1 cont’d 	Telly rushes over to Oscar's trash can where he runs into Luis, who’s also going to the Fix-It Shop to see Maria. Zelda pops out of Oscar’s can, where she delivers Telly’s second clue: “One, two, three, four / If you want your next clue, go to Hooper's...”

 	SCENE 3 	Savion meets up with a flustered Telly, who explains why he’s so upset.

Telly decides to put all of the clues together, and figures out the answer. “Big Bird is with Maria at the library!” Savion finds this ridiculous, but Telly says that the Fix-It Shop's green door looks just like the library’s, so he heads off in the other direction again.
