He notices Oscar wearing a stethoscope and putting out a sign on his trash can reading “Doctor Oscar” with a red cross on it. David wishes to forget about his headache and consults Oscar, who first gets out his bullhorn and loudly calls everyone's attention to David, then crashes a cymbal next to David's ear, which makes David's headache worse. He tells David to hold out his foot while he drops a large rock on it, since the pain from his foot would make him forget about his headache. Instead, David takes the rock and drops it on Oscar's foot instead before leaving.

As Maria covers her eyes, everyone finds a place to hide, though Snuffy has a difficult time due to his giant size. Just in the nick of time, he finds a hiding place and Maria starts looking for everyone. Big Bird points out that she's found everyone except Snuffy so he's won the game, but as usual Maria thinks he’s just imaginary. Maria leaves while Big Bird wonders where Snuffy hid, discovering that he's in the top of the tree! Excited that he won, Snuffy falls out of the tree with a big crash before leaving.
