Snuffy is surprised that she looks nothing like his own grandmother, but Grace assures him she's like her in other ways.
Meanwhile, Big Bird meets David outside wondering where Snuffy and Grace are, hoping they don't miss the chance to meet one another. When they open the door, they find the pair have already met and are already well into reading a storybook together.
