==Plot==
===A New Assignment===
The episode starts showing a street with many poor people on it. Others are quickly walking by, not noticing them.
A few yards away is a puppeteer performing. His play is about things not being like what they seem to be. To convey the message, he has two puppets - one dressed as a wealthy man, the other dressed like a poor man - talking to each other.
After the play ends, a lady asks her husband to give the puppeteer some money for their hard work and the husband throws a five-dollar note in the cup for tips. The puppeteer, an old man, dressed in a coat and suit, and with white hair, sees the tip and happily thanks the couple.
He puts his puppets away into their box and walks up the street, stopping at a blind man. He gives him the five-dollar note and tells him to get a room somewhere. The blind man agrees and walks away, however, he stops at the schnaps shop to get something to drink there.
The puppeteer sees it and sighs, before walking off.
At the same time, Jonathan and Mark appear, both dressed as rather poor people and watching the puppeteer go. Mark asks if he's their assignment to which Jonathan agrees, and reveals his full name: Wally ... .
Wally walks home to his freight car and opens a suitcase to let out a small dog waiting inside there. He talks to the dog and gives it food when Jonathan and Mark appear in the freight car.
The puppeteer is surprised to see them but offers them something to eat. Jonathan and Mark agree and eat some cookies together.
They get into a talk where Jonathan questions why Wally offers them food and Wally explains that people get to know each other the best when eating. There are no foreign people when it comes to food.
===Stevie===
Mark wakes up early the next morning when Wally makes himself ready for his tasks today.
He apologizes to Mark, but Mark just waves it away and when Wally is about to go, Jonathan asks if they could come along.
Wally agrees and they set off to a house on the other side of the city where Wally visits a young boy, called Stevie, who used to watch Wally's puppet show, but is ill now and can't come anymore. Ever since then, Wally has been visiting him.
