Picture 	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria frets to David, Bob, Big Bird, and Olivia that because she's been so busy at the Fix-It Shop, she hasn't had time to prepare dinner for Buffy and her family, who are scheduled to arrive this afternoon at the airport. Everyone agrees to help Maria by bringing something different to the dinner. Big Bird volunteers to make some pineapple upside-down cake to remind the Wolfchilds of Hawaii, though David takes Maria aside and assures her he'll bring ice cream just in case something goes wrong. Everyone splits off and Big Bird wonders what he'll need for his dessert, heading out to make an "upside-down list."
