 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Awful
 	SCENE 	Chris welcomes the viewer, when he's caught off guard by an unpleasant noise and smell. Both are coming from Oscar's laptop, which is opened to Scramazon.com. Oscar wants to purchase the special Grouch instrument, the P.U.-gelhorn, so he and Fluffy can play a duet. The item costs 8 bags of trash and Oscar has a mere 3. Chris gives him 2 more and thinks by saving his trash, he'll be able to buy it in no time.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Suddenly, Mucklemore and his Grouch posse arrive, musically promoting the "Grouch Thrift Shop." Mucklemore invites Oscar to join them in finding some cheap trash at the thrift shop, but Chris convinces him to control himself and save his trash. Oscar ends up buying Mucklemore's fish-hat for all his trashbags.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Maria and Gina stop by to provide Oscar with more trash, but he's not sure how he can stop himself from spending them on something else. Suddenly, Gooze Orman, one of the wealthiest Grouches in the world, appears. She offers to help Oscar the Gooze Orman way: "Pretend Your Way to Trash!" She tells him to imagine other products are nice and cute things he would never want to buy. A Scramazon alert advertises the new Sty-Phone 6, which Oscar wants. Following Gooze's advice, Oscar imagines the phone is a cute bunny, which disgusts him from the site. Fluffy counts their trash bags and they finally have enough for the P.U.-gelhorn.
 	SCENE cont'd 	A Scramazon delivery Grouch immediately arrives with it, but leaves without a tip (he was early and the product wasn't broken). Oscar drives everyone away as he plays his new P.U.-gelhorn.

 	Muppets / Animation	Abby's Flying Fairy SchoolMrs. Sparklenose helps Abby, Blogg and Gonnigan recycle bottles they brought from home. One of Abby's bottles is dusty, so she rubs it and out comes Gene the Genie. He feels cramped inside and refuses to go back in. The bottle, not wanting to be empty, begins hopping around, looking for someone to suck inside. The bottle entraps Mrs. Sparklenose inside, while Gene plans to spend 1,001 nights in Vegas. Abby reminds Gene he needs to grant 3 wishes. Abby wishes for Mrs. Sparklenose to get out of the bottle, with Niblet then taken in his place. Gonnigan rephrases the wish and asks for not one of them to be inside, so he poofs them all inside, thus there is not one. They call on Spot, who shows them a film on “all” and “none”. They wish for all of them to get out and none of them would be inside. The bottle looks for someone to capture and it gets Mrs. Sparklenose again. Gene refuses to switch places with her, not wanting to be in a small space again. They twinkle think and get an idea to magically recycle his bottle with other ones to make a larger one, complete with sliding glass doors so he can leave whenever he feels.
