 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Exchange
 	SCENE 	Elmo runs into Baby Bear and Curly Bear on the street. Baby Bear explains that Curly is having issues giving up her pacifier. Elmo understands, having been through the same ordeal. She asks him (the binky muffling her words) how he was able to give it up. Elmo begins to spin his story as a flashback begins...
 	SCENE cont'd 	In the past, Elmo is giving his pacifiers away to Leela so she can give them to her new baby niece. As Elmo places them in the box, he reminisces on how each binky would help him. Back in the present, Baby Bear is inspired and encourages Curly to give up her binky again. Curly refuses and Elmo continues with his story. After Leela leaves, Elmo tries to play other games without his binky, but finds it impossible and goes after her. Before he reaches the door, he steps on a yellow pacifier, which he thought he lost, and begins to suck on it.
 	SCENE cont'd 	In the next part of his story, Elmo goes to Hooper's Store to work out a deal with Chris; he can exchange Yellow Binky for any toy on the shelf. He says goodbye to it as he trades it for a stuffed bunny. Soon after, Elmo starts to miss Yellow Binky and wishes to return the bunny for it. Chris gives him the binky and lets him keep the bunny, for when Elmo is really ready to give it up.
 	SCENE cont'd 	The next step Elmo took was a "Binky Fairy in training." Abby arrives for their playdate and Elmo explains his problem. Abby tells him about Binky Fairies and Elmo thinks it's a perfect way to rid himself of his binky. He gets his pillow, places his binky beneath it and pretends to sleep. Abby magically changes it into a dollar. Back in the present, Baby Bear tries to warm Curly up to that idea, until Elmo reveals it didn't work, as he then bought a new binky with the dollar. Baby Bear desperately asks - if all the other methods didn't work, what did? Elmo continues...
 	SCENE cont'd 	Elmo has a talk with Gordon about his binky issues. Gordon tells him he could only use it some of the time and pretty soon, he'll be saying "Bye Bye Binky" and doing other big-kid things too.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Elmo and Baby Bear continue singing the song in the present and Curly finally removes her pacifier, ready to give it up. Baby Bear thanks Elmo for his help, then takes Curly to show Mama Bear and Papa Bear, leaving the binky with Elmo. He rushes off to Hooper's, hoping for another new toy.

 	Muppets / Animation	Abby's Flying Fairy SchoolThe class plays with Niblet, the class pet. It’s Gonnigan’s turn to hold him, but he’s too afraid to and disappears. Blögg then tries to and Niblet steals his wand. After a chase, he runs into a crayon drawing in the wall. However, they are unable to get inside. Spot shows them videos of doors, which gives them the idea to use a door. After twinkle-thinking, Abby realizes the drawing is Gonnigan’s and he can draw a door on it. Once inside, they try and follow him, but he draws a river between them. Abby draws a pumpkin to get them across, but Gonnigan adds a sail. Once on the river, Niblet re-draws it as the top of a mountain. Gonnigan adds wheels to get down to him, but Niblet draws a second hill, causing them to slide back and forth between them. Niblet escapes the drawing and heads into his Gerblecorn hole. They try opening it with a spell (rhyming “door” with “Zsa Zsa Gabor”), but find out magic can’t open it. They sob at the idea of never seeing Niblet again, which brings him out of his hole. He gives Blögg his wand back and has Gonnigan hold him. Mrs. Sparklenose rewards them (and the viewer) with a gold star. (re-orchestrated theme song)
