Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Zoe and Gabi are outside with Stinky the Stinkweed, who is taking a break from being inside the Furry Arms Hotel to get some sun. Stinky reels in pain, and Zoe believes he has a boo-boo. She offers to kiss it but Stinky says his pain is coming from under the dirt in his flowerpot. Suddenly they hear a crack and a sprooooing sound; they turn him around and discover that one of his roots has broken through his pot! He tells him he's just fine, but screams when another of his roots pops through his pot.

 	SCENE 2 	As Stinky bemoans his aching roots, Gabi suggests they get him a bigger flowerpot. He doesn’t want another one, as Maria and Luis gave him the one he has and he likes it. He starts singing a song about how he and his flowerpot were made for each other. Gabi and Zoe understand and join in, with verses about their sneakers and crib, respectively, and how they outgrew them but were glad they knew them. Stinky is convinced and asks to go to see Ruthie.

 	SCENE 3 	Stinky looks at some of the bigger flowerpots Ruthie has at Finders Keepers. For each one he sees, he says it’s nice but he wouldn’t want to live in it, but if everybody else likes it then it's fine. Ruthie sets him straight, telling him that his opinion is most important because he is the one who will have to live in it. She shows him one that seems to be just the right size and happens to have his name on it, but Stinky chooses one that is much too big for him. The others tell him so, but since it’s the one he likes it's the one he gets. Ruthie transplants him into the new pot, but only his upper stem is visible and his voice echoes from within. All but Stinky then notice a letter W nearby...

 	SCENE 3 cont'd 	Stinky, Ruthie, Gabi, and Zoe comment on the previous cartoon. Stinky likes the sound of the letter W, but didn’t see any water buffalo. Ruthie tells him it’s because his pot is too big, but he still thinks his new pot is fine. Zoe then spots another W...

 	SCENE 3 cont'd 	Stinky didn’t see the Ws in the last sketch either, which is too bad since they had polka-dots on them. Ruthie insists he try another pot, so Stinky agrees to try the pot with his name on it, finding it a good fit. He asks if he'll be able to do everything in this pot that he did in his old one, like saying the alphabet. They try it and sure enough he can do it in the new pot. Stinky still has one more problem, though (which he doesn’t want to burden anyone with).
