 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Vibrate
 	SCENE 	Bob is conducting a small child orchestra. Abby overhears it and instantly falls in love with it, wishing to make music too. Bob tells her anyone can make music and offers to teach her, but she needs an instrument first. But what instrument should she choose?
 	SCENE cont'd 	"I believe I can help you with that," shouts Grover. Peddling a briefcase and dubbing himself the "Music Monster," he gives a musical sales pitch for some instruments. The "instrument expert" pulls from his case a "stringy-thingy" (a violin), believing the music is made by the mice inside, and the bow is to hit it to wake them up. Bob clears up Grover's confusion, having Ursula demonstrate how the violin works. He continues, showing the two how vibrations make sound. Grover offers to sell her it half price ("No strings attached...full price if you want the strings."), but Abby wants to peruse his other selections before settling on an instrument.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Grover now pulls out a "tootle-tooter," a.k.a. a trombone. Bob has Lauren show them how it works and how vibrations come into play when using it. Grover tries to sell the 76 of them he has in stock, but Abby still wants to see her other options.
 	SCENE cont'd 	While Grover digs through his briefcase, Abby spots the timpani nearby and Bob has Zachary show them how it plays music. Abby decides this is the perfect instrument for her and Bob allows her to play with the class. Grover reveals he doesn't know how any instruments work, but Abby suggests he sing along. Together, they perform "Great Vibrations."
 	Muppets / Celebrity	Kellan Lutz shows Cookie Monster things that vibrate, though he would rather go out for cookies. Kellan pulls out his cell phone, which Cookie devours; it soon vibrates from within him.

 	Muppets 	Murray and the girls flap their "wings" while introducing Abby's Flying Fairy School.
 	Muppets / Animation	Abby's Flying Fairy SchoolThe students are in the middle of music class, but the music they make isn't too great. Abby requests they just use magic to play their instruments, but Mrs. Sparklenose says practice is the right path. A flying boombox swoops in the window and they press "play," releasing Morty the Musical Muse (who speaks in rhyme). Before he can leave, they must pass his three challenges. With a wave of his baton, Abby's trombone flies out of control. In order to get down, she must change the pitch; by playing high notes, she goes higher, and by playing low notes, she makes it back to the ground. Next, Gonnigan's maracas shake violently, quaking the entire school. To stop them, he needs to change the tempo. He discovers that means fast and slow and is able to stop the shaking by moving them slowly. Finally, Blögg's drum starts bouncing on top of him and he must change the dynamics of the music (how loud and soft). Blögg grabs the drum and plays it softly, sedating it. The students have learned many new things about music and Morty takes his leave. The kids decide to apply their knowledge and make music instead of having snack time.
 	Muppets 	Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures is next, but first, Murray asks Isabel more questions about opera. She promises to sing some opera, right after this...

 	Muppets / Animation	Bert and Ernie's Great AdventuresAs rainforest ecologists, Ernie and Bert answer the call of a parrot in danger. Upon climbing to the top of the tree, they spy an operatic beaver chewing down the trees. They confront him and find out he is not doing it to make a dam, but rather to make an opera house for a visiting beaver diva and begins eyeing the parrot's tree. Ernie tries to distract him by making Bert dress as a tree to lure him away, but Bert fears being eaten. They teach the beaver that animals use trees for their homes. He sees the error of his ways and stops, but the Diva arrives, so they use the parrot’s tree house instead.
