Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN 	Elmo tries to set up today's theme of dogs with an uncooperative doggy.In this airing, part of Elmo's line was redubbed to introduce this episode's theme on Pets.
 	SCENE 1 	Gabrielle is telling Elmo, Abby, and Cookie Monster about her class hamster, Peanut Butter, where she is given the responsibility of becoming the class pet sitter for the weekend. Because Peanut Butter lives in a big heavy cage, Chris offered to pick her up from school, and he promises to do so after he puts away all of the boxes he's carrying from Hooper's Store.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Gabrielle shows more pictures and video of Peanut Butter on her tablet. She demonstrates how animals need exercise by showing the hamster wheel Peanut Butter runs on, but she still needs to figure out what Peanut Butter likes to do for fun. When Elmo mentions the crayon maze he likes to do, this gives Gabrielle the idea of having Peanut Butter run around in a maze. Gabrielle demonstrates this by showing a picture of her friend Juan's pet hamster maze, and thinks it would be great to make one for Peanut Butter.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Gabrielle asks Chris if she could use one of his boxes. Next, they use the Hooper's Store maze placemat as a reference to draw the maze inside of the box. Gabrielle demonstrates that Peanut Butter will find her way around the maze for a hamster treat. But Elmo expresses concern that Peanut Butter may not actually stay inside the lines. Gabrielle reflects back on Juan's maze, which has actual walls, but theirs doesn't. This is a problem, but when there's a problem to solve, you say I wonder, what if, let's try! Gabrielle wonders, What if they use construction paper and tape to hold up the walls? Let's try!
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	To test out the maze, Abby has the idea of shrinking somebody to hamster size. Cookie Monster volunteers to do it under the promise that he'd get a treat at the end. Abby shrinks Cookie Monster (dressed as a hamster), and now they need a pretend hamster treat. Elmo uses a cookie from snack time, which is just perfect for Cookie Monster. Before Gabrielle had the chance to count, Cookie Monster breaks through the construction paper walls to reach the cookie. The construction paper wasn't enough, which means this was still another problem. Gabrielle wonders what else can be used for the walls that's stronger than construction paper. What if they use Cookie Monster's dominoes as the walls? Let's try!
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	They try again with the dominoes, but they find they don't have enough. Cookie Monster leans over on one of the dominoes, and it knocks them all over. Frustrated and ready to give up (followed by another use of I wonder, what if, let's try), Gabrielle has the idea of using cardboard as the walls. Let's try! As the gang is putting together the maze, Chris leaves to pick up Peanut Butter, which means they got to finish fast. After the maze is finished, Gabrielle gives the count this time, and the walls don't break this time around when Cookie Monster attempts to break through the cardboard. Cookie Monster does a proper maze run to reach the cookie at the end. It worked!
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Chris returns with Peanut Butter in her hamster cage. Abby uses her magic to return Cookie Monster back to normal size. Chris takes Peanut Butter out of her cage, and puts her in the maze to try it out.
 	Insert 	I Wonder, What If, Let's TryPaisley and Ryan are making a maze for their toy gerbil. They draw the maze with chalk, but want to add walls. What if they use toy blocks for walls? Let's try!
