Episode 3531

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly places Stinky out in the sun. As usual, Stinky thinks he's being a burden to others since he's a plant, unable to move without others' help. He gives a passionate speech about his dream to move on his own, wishing he didn't always have to depend on others to mobilize - especially when he's thirsty. He says it's okay for Telly to go, saying someone else can take him back to the hotel ("I always depend on the kindness of friends.").
 	SCENE 1 cont'd 	Telly contemplates what he's heard, and imagines life as a plant. He realizes what little fun it can be - he wouldn't be able to get to Baby Bear's on his own, and his friends are able to help him only if their arms aren't full or if they're strong enough. Back in reality Tarah wheels by, inspiring Telly to find a way Stinky can do the same.

 	SCENE 3 	The plantmobile is constructed and Stinky is excitedly placed in the seat ("Frabjous day!"), though they haven't devised a way to actually make it move.
