 	COLD OPEN 	"What's the Word on the Street?" -- prepared
 	SCENE 1 	Prairie Dawn hosts a Fairy Tale News special report, "Fairy Tale Emergencies - Are You Prepared?" She explains that an emergency is something that you have to prepare for, because you don't know when it will happen - and fairy tales are full of them.
 	SCENE 1cont'd 	Prairie walks over to the yard, where The Three Little Pigs are preparing their houses in case of a huffing-and-puffing. Two of the pigs are busy playing "Rock-Paper-Scissors-Shoot" but keep tying at Paper. The third pig appears to be the most effectively prepared, since he has his Big Bad Wolf Emergency Kit, which contains un-huff-and-puffable bricks. Sure enough, a thespian Big Bad Wolf does arrive on Sesame Street. The other two pigs try to protect their houses, but to no avail.
 	SCENE 1cont'd 	The third pig's brick house protects him against the wolf's air. Refusing to be vanquished, the wolf searches for another fairy tale to invade - such as "The Reporter and the Big Bad Wolf." Prairie gets blown away by a gust of the wolf's wind, and promises the viewer that they will be right back after these commercials. The other two pigs invade the brick house.
 	Animation 	A sand crab trying to build a sand house builds a moat so it won't be taken by the tide.

 	Song 	"Danger, Danger" - a man (Rondell Sheridan) falls into a sewer and experiences a series of dangers which he can hopefully rectify.
 	SCENE 2 	Nursery rhyme characters have emergencies, too. Humpty Dumpty, one of them, is prepared this time, as he demonstrates in an advertisement for "The Humpty Dumpty Safety Helmet" - a product designed to protect any egg from cracking after falling off a wall. One of the king's men would like one for his egg, so Humpty gives up his own. Just like in the News Flash, the king's man gives him a slap on the back, and he falls off the wall again.
 	Song 	"It's All Right to Cry"
 	Muppets 	The Letter of the Day: SSuper Grover has a super plan to keep Cookie Monster from eating the letter of the day. He puts the cookie into a basket, and pulls it up with a rope. However, Cookie Monster pulls down on and eats the basket, sending Super Grover flying.

 	SCENE 3 	Prairie Dawn continues her coverage of fairy tale emergencies. Her next interviewee is Sleeping Beauty, whose wake-up kit consists of an alarm clock, a rooster, and a bugle that the rooster can play in case his crowing doesn't help. She demonstrates its effectiveness by going to sleep. The alarm goes off, but it doesn't wake her up. Nor does the rooster's crowing - but his bugle playing does!
 	SCENE 3cont'd 	Just then, the prince shows up, but soon finds out he is not needed. Prairie tells us that they will be back after these commercials, and Sleeping Beauty falls asleep again.

 	Film 	A little girl explains what energy is, what kind of foods give you energy, and what other animals (and cars) need for their own kind of energy.
 	SCENE 4 	Next, Prairie Dawn investigates Baby Bear's way of preparing for a porridge emergency, or as he calls it, "home invasion." His invention, a porridge detector protector, lets him know when Goldilocks is about to eat his porridge. He shows the viewer a training film he has put together demonstrating how his invention works: when Goldilocks enters, a Dinger pops up and starts dinging, which alerts a nearby Honker, who honks to alert a nearby duck, who alerts Telly so he can jump on his pogo stick all the way to Sesame Street to alert Baby Bear.
 	SCENE 4cont'd 	Just then, Telly arrives on his pogo stick, giving Baby Bear the perfect opportunity to demonstrate the final part on his invention: a big red button, which, if pressed, will drop a cage over the bowl of porridge as Goldilocks is about to eat it. Now that the demonstration is over, Baby Bear invites everyone over to Hooper's for porridge.
 	Song 	"You Don't Have to Be a Grizzly" to eat some honey!

 	SCENE 5 	At Hooper's, everyone is enjoying porridge, when Goldilocks enters and compliments Baby Bear on his porridge detector protector ... right before she snatches Baby Bear's bowl of porridge. Baby Bear suggests to Alan that he should have a porridge detector protector too.
 	SCENE 5cont'd 	Telly is hesitant to eat his porridge. Just as Prairie Dawn signs off of the fairy tale emergency coverage, the Big Bad Wolf shows up again - but this time Prairie is prepared! She has her own brick-filled Big Bad Wolf Emergency Kit! The Big Bad Wolf was then forced to find a different fairy tale to invade - such as "The Licorice and the Big Bad Wolf." Prairie then signs off by saying, "May all your endings be happy!"
