 	COLD OPEN 	My Favorite Sesame Street Moments: Nancy KaplanKaplan talks about the character Linda and how the show taught sign language.
 	SCENE 	Zoe and Baby Bear are excited because visiting the street today are Cinderella and her tool-wielding Fairy Godmother (Andrea Martin), ready to get Cinderella ready for the ball. But, when the Fairy Godmother waves the wand and utters the magic words ("Meatballs, meatballs, meatballs!"), Cinderella is accidentally turned into a chicken. The godmother feels so awful about making such a mistake that she abandons her wand and disappears, believing the only way to avoid making further mistakes is to get out of the godmother game.
 	SCENE cont'd	With the godmother gone and her wand left behind, Baby Bear nominates Zoe to take her place, with himself as her assistant as they figure out how to help Cinderella. They recall how the godmother's magic words didn't work, so they think of new ones they can try; Baby Bear naturally suggests using "porridge." Zoe waves the wand and utters the word thrice, but Cinderella remains a chicken. Instead, Gina is transported from her clinic mid-check-up, wearing a fancy party dress. Zoe next tries using the word "kumquat," thinking it's an amusing word. This time, Cookie Monster appears in a dress, but he doesn't mind; he's on his way to the Cookie Ball and finds the new outfit appropriately classy.
 	SCENE cont'd	The two believe the errors might not be in the magic words, but how they're using the wand. Instead of side-to-side, Zoe waves it up and down. This results in giving Cinderella's chicken form a party hat and party favor. Baby Bear cries out for help from her Fairy Godmother.
 	SCENE cont'd	Suddenly, Cinderella's Fairy Godmother returns to check up on things and is surprised to see she's still a chicken. She's also surprised that no matter how many mistakes they made, Baby Bear and Zoe never felt ashamed to keep trying. They all sing "Everyone Makes Mistakes." With renewed confidence, the Fairy Godmother tries again and restores Cinderella to human form. She follows up by successfully putting her in the dress for the ball. When she then tries to conjure up a horse-drawn carriage, she instead gives Cinderella a pogo stick. The Fairy Godmother fears she's made another mistake, but Cinderella prefers traveling this way and bounces off to the ball.
 	SCENE cont'd	Moments after, Cookie Monster returns and reports what a hit his outfit was at the Cookie Ball.
