 	COLD OPEN 	Humphrey and Ingrid introduce the sponsors for today while using their video camera to capture some footage of Natasha, who suddenly disappears.
 	SCENE 1 	The monsters get more footage at Finders Keepers as Natasha browses through the store.

They believe a shoelace Natasha picks up could be for some mountain climbing shoes, while a pair of earmuffs indicate a loud job as a heavy metal drummer (which makes the family want to headbang and hum "Smoke on the Water").

Everyone enjoys it and the happy parents want to watch the tape they made today, but can't find the camera. They discover Natasha sitting in the corner, covered with the tape from the camera as Ruthie announces the sponsors.
